Darts Training Fail: Pushing for a 50 Average on My Worst Day Yet

[@brianweishahn2760]

I love watching your videos, it is like looking in a mirror.

[@SamsonDoesDarts180]

Haha this makes me feel better too 😅

[@freddyottawa]

No need for an apology, this is what all of us go through at times in our own games.

[@SamsonDoesDarts180]

Amen! Very true

[@janwidyma9790]

I started pretty much same time you started uploading this series, had my best ever week two weeks ago hit three 180 got up to a 60 average for the whole week, been tryna get back to that level since, its refreshing seeing youre videos to remind myself im not the only one hitting a wall every now and again. keep up the good work 🫡

[@SamsonDoesDarts180]

Great to hear this mate. Keep it up. You’ve nailed it there. We seem to just maintain a level till for some reason we get a bit of a level up. You’ll get it back. Keep throwing!

[@matty5900]

So frustrating not playing how you know you can, part of the journey though, the bad days often pose much better questions for your journey than the good ones. Very enjoyable video as always

[@SamsonDoesDarts180]

Thanks mate appreciate it!

[@Dartist501]

Sometimes I don’t bother with 20’s or a bed that’s not working, play the % shots and do what it takes to win. Sometimes my opponent has no idea what I’m trying to do, but that can help. Make the most of every bit on board, mix it up, and it’s more enjoyable. The element of surprise.

[@SamsonDoesDarts180]

Yeah this is definitely my style also right now

[@Dartist501]

There is such a thing as over practising, a little time out and review of you’re overall game, but a couple of days off max can help. From my personal experience.

[@SamsonDoesDarts180]

Yeah I agree this has helped before

[@jameslawes]

On my own darts journey, started about 6 weeks ago. One piece of advice I was given was about forgetting about aiming at the board. Once you’ve thrown your first dart think more about hitting that dart than the board. Helped me out big time. Keep it up though. Enjoying watching you improve.

[@SamsonDoesDarts180]

Great advice. I actually needed to be reminded of this so thanks!!

[@thejuice84]

"Nothing huge to report so far." I'll let you off on that one since this was filmed before the legend of Rashad Sweeting was born. 🤣🤣🤣

[@SamsonDoesDarts180]

What a hero! Loved that yesterday.

[@SamsonDoesDarts180]

@@thejuice84 Great stuff. Darts is unmatched!

[@leeminton4587]

Samson don't worry it happens. I'm looking forward to christmas new darts...which ones I know as went to shop when she brought them! Good job rob cross are a bit worn now...

[@SamsonDoesDarts180]

Nice one. Let me know what you got!

[@Kirkster131]

Well judgement day is here again this week. League night, did all the practice pay off. 😅

[@SamsonDoesDarts180]

Nice one. Best of luck. Let me know how you go

[@Kirkster131]

@ better, but the double trouble got me during the last match need to get it down to no more than 6 darts….

[@RoscoeUS]

Gates with an opening round win! Hope all is well, Samson. Happy Holidays buddy!

[@SamsonDoesDarts180]

That’s was a good one! Cheers mate

[@ryanwalcroft3351]

Great video again, are you still looking at getting a new set of darts? 23g?

[@SamsonDoesDarts180]

Not sure yet that’s probably the weight I would go for but I’m doing quite well with the Asps at present

[@ryanwalcroft3351]

@ that’s good mate. I just love trying different styles and shapes myself. Expensive habit though 😆

[@SamsonDoesDarts180]

@ ha it is but it is fun

[@jackbourassa2420]

“I’m not a dwarf”… too funny! How tall are you? I’m 5’9” / 175cm and also find shooting the upper half of the board is like shooting uphill. I’ve noticed when playing with guys who are 6’ plus seem to be looking down at the 20’s.

[@SamsonDoesDarts180]

@ 5’9” as well!

[@golfboy7438]

Samson try holding your dart so the point is more pointing downwards as you pull the dart back a bit like Gerwyn Price ive recently started doing it and i feel like it can help keep the wrist straighter.

[@SamsonDoesDarts180]

Nice I will give that a go today. Little tips like this, one will land and make a huge difference

[@intersweat]

Don’t start throwing things at the windows or the wall like you said. You’ll certainly miss😂 Seriously though… keep the head up and a bit more still and you’ll be back to your best

[@SamsonDoesDarts180]

Haha for sure! Cheers bud

[@staffieking9287]

U should put a mirror in front of yourself when u throw i noticed u shoulder and top half of your body is leaning forwards as you pull your arm back its something that helped me break the 50 average this month

[@SamsonDoesDarts180]

Cheers for this bud!

[@eater4110]

Have you ever tryed some mental or coordination Training?

[@SamsonDoesDarts180]

I haven’t mate. What’s that

[@eater4110]

​​@@SamsonDoesDarts180 for example throwing with the right Hand, that should help you also to get better with your left Hand, or throwing in the dark. When you try to Hit 20 and for example most of your darts will Hit in 5, then you can work with a fixpoint. Throwing from different Distances and so on. There is a german Coach He has a KZbin Channel. Dartblog is the name. Its interesting, because its a totally different way of Training and it should help to improve the coordination between hand and eyes. Also there are this Concentration-Rings from Peter Wright that you can buy. It should help to Fokus on some points you want to Hit

[@jamessmith7459]

Dont be hard on yoursellf bud i had not threw at the board since march and i had a shitty 41 averge but i see that as crap beacuse thats my own view on mine so dont be hard on yourself its diffcult to maintain 70 plus averge on a regular basis i see 70 as the bench mark from chucking in the house to darts team quality

[@SamsonDoesDarts180]

Nice one mate and good advice. I just want to find consistency and slowly iron out faults in my throw. We will get there!

[@AidenSmith-o7g]

I'll tell you why you might be throwing bad I've seen you throwing with sleeveless tops having a sleeve will shorten your throw and can mess up your shot practice with or without not both

[@SamsonDoesDarts180]

I did officially ban long sleeve shirts but have snuck in a few other long sleeved numbers. It was a matter of time till I was picked up on this 😅

[@AidenSmith-o7g]

You should go live and play viewers on nakka😂 ​@@SamsonDoesDarts180
