Pro dart player practice drill

[@ahull25]

I really like Barney’s finishing drill. Finish from 121 in 9 darts then move on to 122 and so on going up to 135. If at any point you don’t finish in 9 darts then you move back to 121. Great way to memorize 3 and 2 dart checkouts and you end up using the whole board.

[@Edgartvdarts]

Pretty much everyone on tour does this drill

[@wiganer9912]

I like it, good for memorising checkouts less than a ton too.

[@arda8393]

Edgar i admire your ability to convay a game/your thoughts in such an easy way to understand! Makes your videos a great watch and a hell of a lot easier to learn new things! A great sports commentator on KZbin

[@Edgartvdarts]

Well you know what to do hit that share button 😁 shameless !

[@Cell2Dee]

Thanks for the drill. Got back in to playing at Xmas and basically just throw at the 20s and 19s, happy when I bang in a 180. I need something more to actually improve though.

[@claymore32]

Definitely trying this one. Been neglecting practice games and just been throwing. Need to get back to drills and games.

[@paulrogers9325]

Brilliant mat. Uv a new fan.

[@mbro4490]

Hi Matt. Been trying to find practice games and drills for beginners but couldn’t find anything that really helped as the games were for good darts players. But then you explained this game and it’s really good for someone like me who is a beginner. Thank you for the great video and great content u put on Edgar tv!!! 👍😁

[@Edgartvdarts]

Yeah this is a great game just give yourself 9 darts to do it or 12 for example

[@mbro4490]

I gave myself 12 darts to do it in and done first to 6. I lost 6-2 but I’ll keep practicing this game. Thanks Matt!!

[@jon_because]

Thanks. I’m always looking for new practice games to keep my attention there 👍

[@ConnorBennett180]

If you're not motivated by the money or the success and fame that comes with darts then there's no point practicing mate, motivation should be there constantly

[@rusty4150]

I love this game. I'll never hit a 9 darter but I've had several perfect games at this one.

[@malcolmlochead2285]

That's fantastic, will use this tomorrow,

[@robertreader6539]

Seems a great game thanks

[@max.gd.]

great idea with the blocked doubles! Because if you play with this rule you HAVE TO use every part of the board! Thx Edgar 👏👍

[@adrianbolger7920]

Will be trying this today👍🎯

[@WeeIslay]

Excellent game, I’ll be on this tomorrow 🎯👍🏻

[@rossmpostpro]

Loving this practice game Matthew, helps with the old maths too!

[@adarts1005]

I never heard something about that game. Great game I will definitely use it in my practice. Thank you ed :)

[@intergalactic99]

That's a beauty wee game! I'll be playing that one!

[@SosiskaTheHorrible]

I think that's the best practice game i've seen anywhere. It incorporates everything, cheers Matt

[@thyartisconor]

Hope to see you at the Matchplay

[@artfuldodger6746]

nice one thank you.

[@ronaldmczee3886]

How.much is it for training too be professional dart player.

[@traeburkett7792]

Do you or any other pros us a trainer board with smaller beds for practice?

[@garethmurray1407]

I guess you could change the total you are starting from as well, eg change 101 to 102. Assuming you hit D16 first dart, your 2nd dart would be at T18 or T10 instead of at T19

[@IanL1]

Great game, poor some rum, crank some rock or metal, game on!

[@austyvanaustymantv7893]

I’m guessing D16 is your favourite double?

[@Edgartvdarts]

Yes 100% that and 8

[@Quintendejong123]

Which set up do you use?

[@stevengalbraith7612]

101 double in double out, don't use the same double after you check out. But do u you use the same double you checked in to check out?

[@Edgartvdarts]

Yeah you can change the double you finish on but by changing the one you start on it will change your second dart purpose

[@kasn452]

Is it bad to play 170 over and over ?

[@martindzik3850]

Why you have white 20 segment?

[@Edgartvdarts]

Was for a video filmed around this time

[@andybarlowandizzy9006]

Love it...

[@philipwant8531]

Matt, how often do you turn round your board to make it last longer

[@Edgartvdarts]

Every couple of days really

[@camphor210]

I have a question,not about this game, which is a great practice game, thanks for sharing!! Question is...How long does it take you to warm up before you start to play games? It takes me ages to feel ready to play my best game...Are there any ways to feel ready quicker?

[@Edgartvdarts]

Have a break early and stretch. So have 5/10 mins stop have a stretch and come back to it

[@camphor210]

@@Edgartvdarts Thank you, I'll try that.

[@Quintendejong123]

What if you throw soft tip into sisal board?

[@frenkiefrenk8419]

Same as steel tip

[@Edgartvdarts]

Yah just goes in as normal

[@patrickmuller2044]

Is there a special reason for having inverted the colours? 19=black 20=white? ;-)

[@Edgartvdarts]

I did a video about it been the wrong way round and haven’t put it back yet

[@adamtchaikovsky9139]

Mat, you can buy replacement numbers from amazon :)

[@Edgartvdarts]

It’s ok just put a new board up now

[@benschofield7457]

Hi Matt, I know you're a qualified sports psychologist so do you think you'd be able to do a video on darts pyschology?

[@Edgartvdarts]

Not really unfortunately as pyschology is a very personal thing and been able to make a video that suited the majority would be extremely hard if not impossible

[@michaelholdman9516]

How do Dude?! Just for kicks I tried practicing with a Green 20. NEVER AGAIN! ... and so poor, poor Mr. Unicorn Eclipse HD II. Being that this is his last appearance, let’s have moment of silence for of the old Unic! As Unic’s go, it was a real “Downer” to see its fate in the Extreme testing video! So I raise my glass and say, “...here’s to the old Unic... you may not have gotten a “Rise” out of him, but he sure did not go “Down” easy! 😜- Cheers from New York!

[@Edgartvdarts]

Who knows there may be more from that board in future now it’s the Edgar tv hd1

[@stephscarff]

[@nascarstopmotionguy]

There's game of darts I've never understood the rules of it is Cricket. like why is the treble 20 been locked out for and so little points too

[@AnthonyGarcia-lz1zc]

Hello random youtuber, heres my explanation. The way Scoring Cricket is played (American Cricket), you first need to score 3 times the value of each section (20,19,18,17,16,15, BULL) before someone can score. So to score on 20, you have to hit 60 on it. 1 treble, a double and a single or 3 singles. Once you've hit 3x of that number, you can score, If you get 2 double 20's for example, youd score 20 over all. 60 to open the number, 20 scored. If both players have scored 3 times the value, it becomes closed and nobody can score on that number anymore. The game ends when the player with the most points has closed everything.

[@harryearp5704]

Best i Could do was 4 darts had to do it in 6 like you best i Could do was losing 6 2 1 bad dart ruins it all

[@Edgartvdarts]

Just like combo finishes very good game play it in 9 darts until you win regular then drop to 6

[@harryearp5704]

@@Edgartvdarts I tried 9 and I was winning 6 0 all the time I need to get better on finishing as some legs i will be on a finish after 9 but all of a sudden a double after 72

[@Gameon-lu9fy]

S N O R I N G.....

[@chielvd]

Why do you give yourself 6 darts i mean 100/6 thats a 50 average you should be able to finnish within 4 or 5 darts thats a80 to a 100 avg.

[@GJ-ct4ru]

What’s the difference between 6/5/4 darts all still 2 visits sunshine use your loaf 25 dart leg is 60 average 27 is under 60 makes 0 difference still 9 visits to the board you people are obsessed with averages and it hold u back so much

[@Gameon-lu9fy]

Rocket Science is simpler than this drill.
