How many 180's have you had?

dionsiseire

ive hit around 20 that ive kept track of in my shed (marker on the backboard)

i hit an AWFUL lot of 140's where the first 2 go in though, ive had back to back 180's but not when i was on 501 i had them when on 441

Double Top

had a long streak of getting 180's was on about 4 a day but has kind of calmed down to about 1 every two days. never got a 9 darter but got a 10 darter finishing on the bull(not on for the 9 darter, 180,140,131, bull). usually get more when i'm playing against someone new, brings put the competitive side of me or something

Dave147

We own a pub so been playing from an early age. Have 1 in match and loads in practice.. Remember throwing 5 in one day last year, I freeze on the line though!

mr.jingle

Get them more often nowadays but even still when i get the first 2 trebles i still tink bout it an pull the bloody thing into a t5 or sumtin! Best 180 i ever got was in a semi of a tournament he was sittin pretty on tops i had 212 got a 180 to leave x16s he choked i got it 1st dart to win the match:DHappy days:D

Mr Moon

I can't remember my first one, it was years ago, I play every lunch in work with a couple of friends, I usually get one a week, most I've got was 2 in one day, still waiting to get the 170 finish, I've hit the 25 3 times going for it now!

I've shot 170 for points on several occasions, but I am in the same boat when it comes to finishing on it. Trip, trip, 25....everytime.

Orange Krush

About 10 for me, not a great return on the amount of time played and haven't hit 1 in over 2 yrs.

Helix

only started playing recently, nothad any 180s. couple of 140s and a 160 tho

saving all my stats in n01 which is nice to look back on and see the improvement

nhughes100

I've hit loads but would trade half of them for a competitive 170 finish! Interestingly it took about 5 of them before I actually won a leg that I threw a 180 in. Hit one every day for a week a few years ago, went to Australia in Febuary and didn't hit another one till New year's eve that same year. Haven't hit one in ages but I can feel one coming...

Aidric

I've been playing casually for about three years and have only ever hit one 180. Nice feeling though.

Kingp35

Just thought I would bump this thread seems we have a lot of new people posting lately. Tell us how many you have hit lads!

dionsiseire

im now hitting between 1 and 3 per practice session now, which is quite pleasing

ratinakeg

When I polled I gave an answer of 2-4, that has changed now and it is 6 now!

Can we poll again?

Auvers

I tried slim flights the other day too and they were pretty weird, didn't really give them enough of a chance though. When I did manage to group them there was very noticeably less deflection from the flights. I got a Winmau Blade III last week and it's a major improvement on the basic Unicorn one I had, very few bounce outs and they just drop to the floor the odd one that does. The other board had the worst bounce outs I've ever seen, I actually had to jump out of the way a few times as they made it all the way back to the throwing line. I used to put out my foot to prevent my darts bouncing off out old tiled kitchen floor, I learnt not to do that when I was playing in my socks one morning

i had the winmau pro SFB ,got a year out of it could have 20 bounce outs a nite . the slim flights ,if you started with them you be right i had black shafts and blacks flights you would hardly seen them .

Degag

I've thrown two myself, thing is i reckon i got too excited by doing so because i threw some pretty woeful darts after... i actually lost the first game i threw one in.:eek:

Whiskey Devil

Threw an 11 dart leg about 2 months ago in competition and my darts has been going downhill ever since..


Was amazing though!! :pac:

Evolution Enter

Funny, big joke in my bar is that you always lose a game when you hit a 180, cos most of the guys do

I've probably hit 7 or 8 180's, but I much prefer 140's! I probably hit five or six a week, and hitting tonnes and 140's are usually the scores that win you legs. Maybe it's just me but a 177 or 171 when approaching a finish are more impressive than a 180

Ok I think the best way is to edit the poll.

So if anyone has answered on this before but it has now changed post up here and I will edit the poll for you. Just changing mine and ratinakeg's now.

demakinz

just hit my first yesterday.i was well pleased cause there 3 of us that play most evenings and i was the first to get one.but didnt last long when i was eating my dinner a friend called down through his first 3 darts straight into the 180 some sickiner....serious feeling though!!!
hoping to hit at least 1 a week as im between jobs iv plenty of time to practice

death1234567

At last count I had eleven but I stopped counting after that. So much of it is mental, If you relax and just let the third dart go you'll hit a 180 8/10 times but if you tense up your finished.

Bluezar

I have hit four myself...Think I hit my first one within a couple of monthe of starting..Hav'nt thrown much lately but I'm getting back in to it lately..

ratinakeg

After getting another 180 today (first with new darts:D) and with all the new players in this tournament I thought of this thread!

Hey double tops i'm going to have to get you over to mine a few nights a week to practise improve your game as well as keeping my game in tact

I have hit plenty of 180's over the years and have lost count.

I have never hit bak to back 180's but have had 5 perfect darts at the start of a competitive game of 501. Never got any closer to a perfect game than that.

I have checked a 180 only once. That was in a competive league game against a v. good player. I ended up winning as he cracked when he saw me coming back at him.

However I have also lost count of the number of games I have lost over the years when I scored a 180 in them.

dionsiseire

I had back to back 180's while practicing down in the club with the youths, it wasnt in a game, i hit a 180 and another 180, and then was egged on to try hit the 141, missed the treble 20, bit of an anti climax

Degag

Have had 11 180's... still counting:D

dionsiseire

lol, stop counting and they come much easier, i was marking 180's on the board beside my board, i stopped and ive hit numerous 180's since, i am at the point of 1 per practice session at least now because im not thinking about it.

Specially if im not sure if 1 of them is in, your not over thinking it

Lol, i know but it's still kind of a novelty to me at the moment... Tis a fantastic feeling and i can't help but count and brag to my mates!

Just looking at what you said about losing games when you have hit a 180 I think we all have especialy when we have only got a few I think the more you hit the more at ease you feel with yourself and you can hold your nerve

I have hit plenty and its not about holding ur nerve. Sometimes when your ahead in a game (after a 180) you get complacant and ease up and before u know it the other fellow is on a finish, game over.
Other times you get the 180 go for the kill and end up getting a stupid score of 26 or 22 which makes the 180 useless.

What I have learnt over the years is that unless u really need to score heavy in a leg a score of 60 after a 180 is a great score. It's the same as a 100 followed by a 140 and we would all be happy with that return out of 6 darts.

Update, I have hit back to back 180s in a game since last post and am up to 7 perfect darts in my quest for a 9 darter. Some day!!!!!!!!

All you can do is keep at it someday I think I would sh.t myself if i had 8 perfect darts might get barred out of the league if that happened;)

Cill Dara Abu

Hit 180s regular enough maybe every 2-3 hours of play, its a great feeling when it happens though never gets old.

Don't play on a team or anything just on my own in my room, would love to join a team though.

ye I would think the hand would be shaking on that double all right.


Nearly had a back ward 9 darter the other day. Finished 141 in practice hit a 180 to start the next leg and then 60, 60 with the next two. Backward 180 thought came into my head and hit the flight of the other darts for a big 20 (140 score). Would not have been a real 9 darter but it would have been the sequence of darts, just backwards!!!

to be honest gerry the tuesday didnt do wonders for my game i took it way too serious and i tried to prove myself every game and at the end of the season the wheels fell off and i lost my last three game 2-0, i would love to go back and play again on a tuesday but right now i wouldnt have the money to do it by myself all the lads on georges are sound and i know if i went back out i would be a different player then i was last time.

Al Capwned

Hit my first ever 180 today!!!! SWEET!!!!

Was playing last week and hit t20 t20 t5 3 times in about an hour..... Did I do some hopping around when I stuck 3 in it today!!!!
