Cant catch a break

drawn with Mick Barry first round again

This time i took a leg to level 1-1 darts going with throw, he won his throw to go 2-1 and i missed 2 darts to level it at 2-2 and he took the win

and just like the last tournament i was drawn against him first round in, he went on to win it

Tough one, it's the luck of the draw I suppose. Sounds like you had your chances though. It hurts even more when you miss doubles against a player like that!

Played on darts pro earlier against Ratinakeg , close game , averaged 71/72 and lost 8 - 7 .

Doubles let me down badly.
Any suggestions for a practice game/routine to improve the doubles situation??

Been playing Bob's 27 and around the board on doubles so am looking for a different approach

Ps Great darts rat

You could have beat be easy earlier but as you say your doubles let you down Daffy! My average was about 4 points below yours but I for once took out my doubles!:)

Jeasus I'm playing the best darts of my life at the moment, I just hit a 153 check-out (T20,T19, D18) against AndyP to win a great game 8-7! Cheers for the game Andy. Hope it continues up until Saturday night at least and my nerves don't start to kick in!:D

It's not looking good for me for Saturday because I can't hit a double to save my life. I'm scoring better than I ever have I just can't hit that double. I think I'm going to have start playing Bobs 27 all the time now to get those doubles going because it's just not happening at the moment

Ah those damn doubles can do your head in sometimes! In one of the matches I had down the Fishing Club on Monday I think I missed double 11 about 15 or more times, then I hit D8 and then bang straight in D3

Your over analysing it mate just try and hit the smallest hole made from a previous dart in the double bed put more concentration into it your mind will compensate for any flaws in your follow through im telling ya darts is 95% in the head

dont beat yourself up too bad everybodys has there off days

Ah yeah I know it's all in the head. I get frustrated pretty easy though. I have stepped away from the board now and gonna settle down before throwing again. It's incredibly annoying when every dart you throw lands on the wire!

john part gave me a set of his darts last tuesday,i usually use taylor purists,the grip on them is great.the grip on parts wouldn't be the best so i decided to mix and match.tonight i used the part flights on the taylor barrels with medium stems and they were going great,180's and 140's to beat the band.gonna try them in competition and see how they go.

Well im just back from the Mick Maxwell Memorials Trophy

WOW
what a day

I got all the way to the final playing some smashing darts, i was delighted with myself. Hit 2 - 180's en route to the final, missed a bull for a 170 checkout, beat my own dad 3-1 in the quarters in one of the legs i hit a 180 then checked out 94 and then i won my semi final 3-0

Unfortunately i lost the final 4-1, i threw amazing scores but despite being first down to the doubles in ALL the legs in the final i lost 4-1, just nerves of my first final. the leg i did win i took out 78 (T18 D12)

Got a nice runners up vase, what a day

I'll have some pics up tomorrow, we had walk ons and music and i was assigned wayne mardles music, so after my quarter finals i got my hands on a hawaii shirt and lais (those flower necklaces) and sunglasses to look the part

CLASS DAY
