Best Leg - 11

Darts per game - 17.88
3 Dart Average - 80.15
First 9 Average - 92.39
Checkout - 30.77

N01:
Legs - 4
100+ - 13

i could of beaten it far easier and averaged much higher but I lost interest after going 5-1 up. first 6 legs I hit at least 18 ton +'s, last few started to drift into the 5's and miss doubles. thrilled with the 11 darter 140, 121, 140 and took out 100 in 2 darts.

That is some cracking darts, please tell me you are not in the second tier of the boards league!:eek::eek:

padr81

it was a once off believe me, i've only averaged over 70 twice since the last boards tournie and i've bein as low as 50 at times. Really struggled thats why im so happy with this, hopefully i can at least play steady darts now. Was at 92 or so for the first 5 legs than started to drop.

Back to 67 today but i'm happy enough with that compared to the rubbish i have being throwing.

ratinakeg

Right I'm going to practise now for about 3 hours as I need it with a few tournaments coming up next weekend, I don't want to make a show of myself. I'll try that Bob's 27 and post up my results for the laugh! I'll try playing against level 8 on number 1 to see how I get on!:o:D

Kingp35

What tournaments are you playing in rat?

The one in the Tassie on the 1st of Aug definate and probably the next day down in Rathdrum depending on how much I drink on that Saturday night!:D

Kingp35

I thought the Tassie competition was just for lads that play in the Dun Laoghaire Borough Leagues?

Good stuff rat. Believe it or not I still have not been able to beat Level 6 although I play first to 8 legs so it's a little harder.

Your finishing seems very good. Have you been working on your doubles?

Cheers KingP, it was just a good day for me on me doubles but I do practise Bob's 27 or round the board before playing n01 most days now. Won't get in any practise today as I'm in work at 4, I'll try my new training regime tomorrow!;)

Daffy501

Decided to see if i could get a set of darts that matched my own and failed miserably They are not being made anymore and i cant find anyone who has anything like them so i have had to get a brand new set ( first ones in 18 years )
Found these in a little shop in Clacton-on-sea for £19.99 and they seem to be going great. Was able to throw a few sets in the shop where i got them. Was there for an hour throwing darts and settled on Target t0.1 ( below). 21 g and a nice grip on them so here to hours and hours of practice to get used to them

dionsiseire

im finally back

onto the practice board tomorrow, i expect to be woeful

Degag

Finally went back to playing level 3 this afternoon and got a satisfactory 7-7 draw after having 2 darts for an 8-6 win. Averages weren't impressive but improved on previous performances and i feel like i'm getting back to form. Think it has to do with forgetting about the averages during the game and concentrating on my opponant.

ratinakeg

I'm gonna try the round by round practise on n01 now in a minute, I'll post the stats up on the n01 stats thread for the laugh!:o:D

dionsiseire

just back in from the shed

decided to play rats round by round but a slight different way, best of 5, levels 1-10, so first to 3 wins a set, i beat levels 1 2 and 3 3-0, then my finishing let me down a bit, lost 3-2, 3-2 to levels 4 and 5, i beat level 6 3-2, then lost 3-2 to level 7 putting it at 4 sets to 3 to me

i was then whitewashed by levels 8 9 and 10 to lose 6-4 in sets, though i played rather well

hit 4 - 180's during the session, my most in 1 nights throwing, overall tournament average of 60.05

I think that was Degag's idea but anyhow it's a good test as you play against all levels, I'll give it a shot again tomorrow. Nice showing on the 180's dionsiseire!

Doubt it was my idea mate cause i can't beat level 3 let alone anything else!!*! I was actually going to post that i had problems getting my rhytem going but this could be a good way of getting past it. I may try this tomorrow. Hopefully by playing levels 1 and 2 i will be ready for Level 3....

*Then again i have come up with moments of brilliance in drunken moments in the past!

LOL!:D I have confidence in you, you'll hammer level 3 out of it tomorrow!;)

I know somebody said it on here but I can't remember who? Damn it my memory is bad and I'm only 28!:eek::D:D

Kingp35

It was Matty's idea lads, and a great idea it is!

ratinakeg

Have not touched a dart today but I'll try get some practise tonight. Was playing against me mate yesterday, rubbish from both of us apart from a 148 checkout by him and during some other leg I scored 140 followed by a 108 checkout! Hurry up 6pm, I need practise!

Daffy501

Played a mate last night best of 5 sets , best of 15 per set. Won 3-0 in sets(8-6 , 8-4, 8-4) but they were pretty tight games all the way thru. Changed my darts recently , am now throwing with a medium length stem as opposed to the long(which i have used since i started throwing) and im getting along great with them!!

my accuracy has improved with the short stems so it can only get better from now on , i dunno why i didnt try this years ago

Well i did this today.... beat level 1 8-3, beat level 2 8-5 and lost 8-6 to level 3.

Went 7-0 up against level 1 with a 48 average and 30% checkout but lost my concentration a bit and let him win 3 in a row. Finished with a 46 average and 18% average. Felt pretty good and it got my confidence up.

Level 2 started dodgily for me. Went 4-2 down even tough i was averaging over 50. Got it back with a 110 checkout and also wired a 119 finish. Finished with a 45 average and 16% checkout.

Played really well against level 3. Was averaging 52 up until the 10th leg until a hash of missed doubles brought it down. Had a 180 in a leg but was countered by the comp having 2 140's. Comp was also averaging 56 at this point. Went 7-3 down and nearly got the draw but wired 3 darts at double 4 to get it. Averaged 47 with only a 12% Check but overall was pretty happy with how i played. Playing the warm-up games really helps.
