The General Talk or Moan About Your Dart Skills Thread

Its just amazing what a couple of days can do in darts, couldnt miss a thing on saturday peppering the lipstick on the 20's, but i came back to the board yesterday for a game against my brother, he beat me 5-2, 7-3, and 3-0 i was all over the place just felt like i was throwing with someone elses arm, still averaged around 64 each time with my first 9 darts which aint too bad,(my finishing was disgusting, ended up averaging 51) but i was hitting T20 then high into single 1 and even hitting 18's all over the shop isnt the word:eek::eek: but the worst thing was when i got down to a checkout (between 130-170) i kept thinking about taking them out but hitting stupid scores like 26,15,40 etc, and even worse when i was on a 2darter i couldnt even hit the single to leave me on a double, its like i just kept on thinking too much about winning/loosing, :eek: its so annoying i swear i wanted to loaf the board off the wall:mad::mad::rolleyes:

Thats my rant over had to get that off me chest:D

Double Top

After changing my throw, i usually have four fingers on the dart (two on the barrell and two on the point) but i'm after taking a finger off the point and it's really working for me, darts are going in must strighter and easier to under/over stack them:D:D:D:D

this new training i'm doing finally starting to pay off

Hi mate do you think theres a disadvantage of holding the dart on the point because i grip wit my middle finger just on the end of the point and the start of the barrell with my index finger and thumb just behind my middle piggy:o

Was playing against me mate just there and I'm still in shock!:eek::eek::eek: I started off 180 all in the right corner of the treble, another 180 followed all darts in the left corner of the treble, suddenly I'm on for a 9 darter!:eek: I then hit T20 followed by a damn 5!!:(:mad: After 9 darts I was down to 57 which is my best ever and I'm still delighted though!:D:D Bad thing though is that I finished on D1 after 19 darts!:(

the only disadvantage that i have seen is when you get new darts, the point is usually very slippy so they would fly out of my had. I usually rub a bit of sandpaper on them to take the shine off them.

i personally think holding the point gives you more control over the dart

I must say that I'm in the form of my life over the last few days, I'm absolutely delighted! Just after finishing a marathon game (best of 7 legs, best of 7 sets)against Daffy in which I lost but still very happy apart from a small slump mid game. I scored about 35 100+'s, only about 6 or 7 140+'s and three 180's, not so good compared to Daffy's record but I'm really happy with my average of 70 over so many games!:D For those who are interested Daffy won 4-3 in sets and 4-2 in the last set.:D

lost 15-7 on level 4

averaged 70.94

100+ 21
140+ 12
180 0
high out 80.

might of lost but i have found out whats wrong with me game at the moment. 1) too many 81/85's instead of ton's
2) when i get down to around 200 i think too much of the outshot and it wrecks my game, should of won about another 5-6 legs but my set up was terrible
