Maximise your darts practice

So we have spoke in previous videos about getting the most out of your darts practice. In order to do that we use PWI practice with intent over timed practice.
A good darts practice should consist of games that have a fear of failure and a desire to succeed over endless throwing in the direction of the board.
This would be the advice of any top professional weather on the PDC pro tour circuit or the BDO. The advise is always maximise that practice. In this video I share with you 3 games, one beginner, one standard and one hard, that should keep you going during isolation.

Thanks Matt for sharing those games with us they will definitely keep us entertained on the oche! Great video & really looking forward to tonight 👍

[@tomasmorrissey7324]

Another seriously good video from the prime time channel

[@Edgartvdarts]

Cheers again Tomas. Big live show coming tomorrow 😁

[@thehitman180darts8]

Great video I've just started playing again. I will be using these games. I'm going to keep a video diary to see how I improve over the next 30 days. You have given me some games I hadn't seen before.

[@ljarseneau]

PWI great practice routines !! 👍

[@jello1977]

Great practice games thanks. I'm going to use these!

[@KrishanSedov]

really good games, been looking for some, really like game 3 as need to practice my doubles, defo gonna try all of these🔥👍

[@martyndaly1539]

Thanks. Must give these a go. Bob's 27 gets boring and isn't really hard enough unless you're having an off day

[@garethzanellan7436]

Last game is very good. 👍

[@Edgartvdarts]

Some brutal but fun games here

[@kevinduff486]

Good stuff :-)

[@dangreene9846]

We used too play a game called 21 ,start with 1 hit one double 1 add 2 two too 21 miss all three subtract 2 then on too double 2 hit three doubles add 6 and on and on as long as you have at least 1 you move on too the next number.

[@thehitman180darts8]

I play a similar game called Bob's 27. Great practice aids

[@s_club_axes]

You could even modify game 1 to incorporate power scoring, only counting the R&Gs in 16-20...obviously as a highe lever though

[@Jokes100.]

Another good game I came up with is called 60 minutes assault. U got one hour to score as many 100+ 140+ and 180 scores. Only 100 or above scores counts. Add up totals at the end.

[@thehitman180darts8]

That sounds like a great practice game and I love the title. Sounds very A Team which is always a winner as a child of the 80's.

@matthewedgar Loving reds & greens! I play a doubles game where you shoot for all the single dart outs, starting with the 50, 40, 38, etc. To proceed to the next out, you have to check out the number in as many darts as it takes, playing by the same 501 rules. If you miss inside the double 20, you have to shoot double 10 for example. I tried playing both games at the same time and got a red & green score of 29 by the time I got all the way around. If you get down to 0 red and green points, you start back at the 50 with 5 points. Turns out to be a nice way to raise the stakes for the doubles game, and a good way to make red & greens more intentional.

[@Edgartvdarts]

Hi, that’s perfect anything that has that intent is good practice 👍

[@safvanboxtel7513]

Great practice! 2nd game is key for me. I’m still struggling to stay in one nummer. Thx!

[@thehitman180darts8]

Yeah, it's like fatigue kicks in and the arm starts to stray.

[@ronsprouse7856]

Love the 3rd game. I'm going to incorporate that into my practice.

[@Edgartvdarts]

It’s great fun but can get frustrating. But that’s pwi at its best

[@ronsprouse7856]

@@Edgartvdarts I already have a pretty long practice routine so I only added #3. Just did it and finished it on the first attempt. On a sadder note I have yet to complete #8 and #9 of your challenge series. Had to take a break from those but will try them again in a couple of days.

[@DartsClass]

Good practice games here Prime Time. All about the goal based practices! 👍🎯

[@Edgartvdarts]

Cheers 👍 enjoy the games there great fun but frustrating at times

[@DartsClass]

@@Edgartvdarts the best games are. If they're not frustrating then it's too easy to get bored and give up

[@hijlkecornelisboorsma1058]

for the dubbels you can play bob's 27.start on 1 each dubbel you hit you get the points for the dubbel when you mis all 3 you lose the points. when you are on 0 you start over

[@4tyu3318]

To make the last one easier, just do it for the singles

[@joefitzpatrick683]

Like the 1st and 3rd games. Is there any warm up routine you do before going into these more difficult games? Also do you split days up so Monday is focusing on doubles for example, or do you just do a mixture.

[@Edgartvdarts]

If your free tomorrow night from 7pm come ask me on my live stream would like to give this a good answer which is hard on text off my phone

[@joefitzpatrick683]

Matthew Edgar that’s great👍 I’ll make sure I’m watching.

[@SaleenS351R]

In second game, does only the bullseye count or could you score 80 on the 20’s + 25 = 105? Stay at same score or count it as one?

[@kujon1968]

Hello Sports Science Specialist and soon to be my darts coach...hopefully. I was wondering if you have read Make It Stick by Peter Brown or are familiar with a study by, I believe, R. Kerr and B. Booth, Specific and varied practice of motor skill, Perceptual and Motor SKills pages 395-401. The study showed that: A group of eight-year-olds practiced tossing beanbags into buckets in gym class. Half of the kids tossed into a bucket three feet away. The other half mixed it up by tossing into buckets two feet and four feet away. After twelve weeks of this, they were all tested on tossing into a three-foot bucket. The kids who did the best BY FAR were those who’d practiced on two-and four-foot buckets But NEVER on three-foot buckets. I was wondering if anyone has been brave enough to practice triple 5s and 1s but not the 20s...or if you see any crossover in these findings into darts.

[@Edgartvdarts]

I’ve not seen it but I would be interested in looking into his research documents. There’s so many variables with an 8 year old that would make the test difficult

[@kujon1968]

@@Edgartvdarts Excellent point. I believe the theory behind it is that when your brain works harder (two different distances changing) you retain more. Anyway, thought it was interesting and seemed up your river interest.

[@MBalvin]

Nice one Edgar, enjoying the content 👍

Cheers pal going live tomorrow

[@NorgeTyskland]

What happens if I hit T20 and then D20 + Bull a 150 finish? 3 points?

[@layout1237]

Could cricket be pwi?

[@max.gd.]

Question second Game: You Hit 2x 20s and 25, does it count? Or only 50 Bull?🤔

[@Edgartvdarts]

That’s fine stay on same score not up or down you only drop if you don’t get 20s

[@max.gd.]

@@Edgartvdarts okay, thx... I'll try tomorrow and see If i can push up my score to 14!👍🎯

Hahaha .Nice one Janos.Sponsorship is a cruel game lad.

[@martyndaly1539]

Back again. That last game will make you question why you even play darts. Let's just say it's good for practicing D10 down to D1! So tough just to tread water
