GET BETTER AT DARTS With These Darts Practice Routines 🎯

[@789563able]

I invented a game I call Roll your out. You need two dice. I have a red and a green, but the same color will work You always read one dart first; I use the green. Say a green 2 and red 5. That’s 25. You try to check out from that. If you get it, score 2 points. If it’s a one dart out and you get it first dart , you get a bonus point. Getting a two darter in two gets the bonus. You re-roll every turn. Play to any score you decide. It’s good for solo practice or with an opponent. Lots of double chances.

[@smashyrashy]

Very nice

My highest finish is 160, my favourite was 141 or 121 (20,T17,BULL) Btw your finishing is insane!

[@martyndaly1539]

Ive started playing 10 up 1 down as ive just picked them up again. When I played a lot I changed it to 5 up 1 down to make it a bit harder. Its a great routine for working out your finishes. 121 is also a great drill. The amount of times I've left 121 in a match and felt confident about it because of the drill is so valuable

[@95fyken]

Do you think 10 up 1 down is also good for someone that is not as good? I get stuck at 40-80 when i play that game

[@christopheradams7158]

Those games are brilliant mate thanks so much I'm definitely going to try them out as I've been so bored with just playing the basic round the clock & by the way your a bloody good player 👍👍

[@TheDartsReferee]

Thanks buddy 👍 enjoy the games

[@kasn452]

Had 4 goes at 170 today and a 135 and 100-120 finishes, the only peg I did get was 127 bull finish had a go at it again but hit 25 all I can say is it was a good practice session today. 😊

[@rutgerspies2412]

That 121 game we are doing it a lot. But when we hit 123 in three darts you be locked. So you coudent be lower than 123. Thats then your strating point. Ceep up the good work with the youtubechannel. I love it greetings from the netherlands

[@max.gd.]

very interesting around the clock version. I'll give it a go, next practise :) thank you!

[@thehitman180darts8]

Great video. I find this insightful. I am just starting up myself after over a year away from the board. This has given me a kick up the backside that I required. I might even keep a diary of the first 30 days.

[@HoudiniNL]

I'm just a pub player, but at home I like to play 301 solo. I think it's a good mix of scoring, setting up your (hopefully big) finishes and throwing doubles.

[@Moorettich]

I do a similar practice game to start the session for the day lol. I do around the clock and go with 2 Darts at a single and the last one at the next double to skip that one. For example, I hit 1-1-double2 so I do next the 3-3-d4 if I don‘t hit 2 singles I have to do it again and if I don’t hit the double I go only one further instead of two. Greetings from Germany, I like your channel and already done the 3 bulls challenge within 20 minutes ( 2 times, first one not recorded 😁😁😁).

[@nationalsocialist8382]

Sounds promising, do you also play competition darts too?

[@dougiejones33]

I made up a game for myself called 170 in 9, only get 9 darts to subtract from it from 170, pretty fun for me, except I have a bad habit of twisting my hand everytime I shoot and can't control it

[@tropicalpalmtree]

'this game is a bit harder, it would take me hours to get around the board with this game' proceeds to hit treble 20 single 20 and the double in 4 consecutive throws

[@leehogg6248]

I have some very similar practice sessions. Another one is hurdles, the idea is to go round the board scoring as high as possible on each number adding up the score as you go along. Each odd number is a hurdle , if you miss with all 3 darts it's game over including the 25/ semi bull

[@davidclifton7393]

Cool. I like it. Used to practice 3x single 3x double 3x triple starting at the twenty. Move to 19,18,17..etc but if you miss you start back at 20.

[@zanywatson]

I like the up 10 down 1. I'm a high 1 to low 2. So I started the game with 50 instead of 80. Thank you for the idea.

[@garydilworth6909]

The finishing games I play with friends is we either do 132 in 6 darts or less if not you go back to 132 or we do 201 in 9 darts or less. Usually play like 1st to 5 or something as warm up games

[@DanCasey1992]

Brilliant video mate. I’m going to be trying these. I’m in a bit of a dark dart hole right now. About 10/11 years ago I had my first 9 darter. Then destroyed my knee had to have two operations. Afterwards I couldn’t stand the way I used to and had to change it. Over the years I’ve picked up darts for a few weeks been nowhere near where I was and gave up. But about a month ago I’ve got the bug back. Playing every day. Seemingly getting worse each day. Bought new darts. I’m even worse. So hard to get out of your head once you in your head with darts. Going to watch more of your videos and hopefully start improving in the weeks/months/years to come. Love the content buddy keep it up

[@sarahwelty9223]

Don't give up I've had my ups and downs too playing darts and have changed my stance and throw etc. You should be very proud of yourself for getting a 9 darter! That's amazing! I can barely get a 180 but it makes me more determined to get better lol.

[@TomasMisura]

My favorite routine is 1-2 hours warm up, then singles 1-20 and bulls eye, triples 1-20 and bulls eye and doubles 1-20 and bulls eye. Then single, triple, double 1-20 and bulls eye. In advanced version I increase number of darts in one section.

[@kub1x1x]

i also invented my game (i still haven't named it lol) but the rules are simple: you do the same thing as you do in around the clock, but... for example: If you miss the double 5, you have to hit triple 6. If you don't hit triple six, then you go back to four and try to score a double. If you don't hit that double 4, then you aim for triple 5. If you don't hit triple 5, you go back to 3, and try to hit double etc. So you just almost can't miss any single dart in order to complete the game. It took me 5 hours at first to win the game the first time. Now I get it much faster. It improved my accuracy of hitting doubles and triples by A LOT. I would recommend it to anyone, who plays darts at least QUITE WELL.

[@ironicz123]

Another good practice game for doubles is Anderson 27 so you start with 27 points and throw 3 darts at double 1, depending on how many you hit depends on wether you add 2,4 or 6 points if you miss you minus 2 points you then move to double 2 hit it plus 4,8 or 12 points miss it you minus 4 points you do this with all the doubles and finish on the bull however if you run out of points you restart with 27 and back on double 1

[@juankilian8531]

Need to go and try this. I really enjoy darts but suck at playing

[@robertbaldwin177]

I struggle to hit the number, nevermind its double so think I'll be starting on 20, not 80! Great vid though, i'll try this tonight.

[@KZgun4hire]

The problem is the mechanic of aiming. If I have a less then 5% checkout which means 1 dart in 20 hitting a double then it doesn't really matter what game I play, because I'm going to miss most of the time. I have watched many dart tip videos but have yet to see anyone explain aiming. Maybe you could provide your insights on aiming. My issue is not been able to consistently put the dart in any location where I believe I am aiming. In addition if I aim somewhere and try to replicate three identical throws the darts rarely group together, either where I aim or anywhere else. So to me I repeat what feels like three identical throws but watch the darts go everywhere but where I aim. So the idea or concept of aiming is eluding me!

[@MrKrasi97]

It looks very effective! I will try them tomorrow, thank you!

[@abdasnawi9444]

Tq for your lesson I never win a match then I watch this video then I practice 4-5 hour then it really work and fun

[@michealodonovan95]

We do 121 but it's up 5 down 1. Makes you get to the higher finishes faster. With better players we start at 201

[@blademaster9297]

[@TixtheGoAnimator]

Nice video. However, we play 121 where if you miss any shot in 9 darts, you start again from 121. And we play where you have to be the first person to reach 135. I have never done it before.

[@paulmccarthy9686]

I find the best way of practice finishing is 82 because you practice going for bull but also ot helps you find so many different ways of finishing

[@levimcglinchey5843]

Wonder if they do dart boards with doubles n trebles twice the size... that's my only hope

[@vktr17]

I've been practicing by throwing three darts in each segment of the board around the clock. After watching this I think I've been doing it wrong. What's the point in trying to hit inner single one LOL. Thanks, I'll try these to see if they make sense at my level.

[@CitroenC407]

Only recently subscribed to your channel on the strength of another video you did (but can't recall which one it was now). Absolutely adore this video. Some great practice games here, some I'm definitely going to use too. I'm trying to get over dartitis and have almost cracked it. What dartitis did for me is highlight just how bad my actual technique really was and by correcting my technique I've very nearly fixed everything that was wrong. However now that I'm throwing with this new technique, it feels like I have to start learning to throw all over again! I'm going to use these to help but maybe start lower with your "Up 10 Down 1" game to start at say, 10 and work up (until I get my basics back on track) and tailor it to a better skill level as I improve again. Same for 121, I might start lower (maybe 101) and again tailor it as things improve. That's what I like most about these games - you can tailor them all in any way you want to and still get the benefit from playing them. Great work!

[@TheDartsReferee]

It may have been the video about dartitus I made, I had it for about 2 years. Keep up the practice, I hope these games work well for you!
