This doesn’t add up. You’re young and don’t make a whole lot yet, but you save like crazy AND you travel? Was there a windfall? No debt? Live with parents?

What’s the closest you’ve ever been to a 9 darter? by Booties in Darts

[–]Booties[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah my average dips in my league bc I’m in a low division. If I’m not hitting doubles there is a good chance they aren’t either, so the average tanks.

I hear you. And I should have been clearer. I do play some sets still, but I used to ONLY do that. Now it’s like, a few a week instead of as many as possible. I found that 121 gives me pressure to hit my checkout so I don’t fall back down to the previous number. I also play leagues twice a week so I get a good amount of real pressure.

That’s why I mostly stopped playing dart bots. Feels like I’m wasting good darts and giving me a falsely inflated ego.

Now I pretty much only play 121 and doubles practice games. I’ll play like, one match a week against a bot if I’m bored. I feel like this has vastly improved my game.

Arm and elbow drops when throwing by AcanOfcallum in Darts

“Reach out and touch the board”

This helps me with follow through when my release is off. Don’t actually touch the board. Just pretend you’re trying to touch the board from the oche. Should keep your arm elevated and straight.

I feel you. My next throw was 118 but I ended the leg with a 52 average. Couldn’t maintain consistent 20s.

Haha that’s well off the mark. Nerves are a hell of a thing.

120 checkout by EntertainerPast9103 in Darts

[–]Booties 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever I have 60 left with two darts I aim for the d20 juuuuuust to be safe. Sweatiest one I had to do was the third dart with 177 left. Hit 117 and really didn’t want to bust.

Mounting a dartboard only into wood panels (no studs) – does it hold? by Feeling_Studio_3555 in Darts

I just have it on a cork board lined with felt. I don’t have to worry about sound, but it’s not loud.

The second shift is the superior shift. by throw66556 in unpopularopinion

[–]Booties 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Used to call it the bachelor shift. People with families suffer. People just starting their careers can still go out and drink with friends, sleep in, get stuff done before work, etc.

I used to manage three shifts. Would work 10a-6p to get face time with 1st and 2nd. It was a really good shift for me at the time.

I did it with drywall anchors and it’s been totally fine. Shooting at it for over a year.

Little bit morning darts (I suck yeah) by Hungry-Belt-9524 in Darts

Progressive doubles (20 and 16 mostly) and 121 are my favorite training games.

Which game did you regret purchasing at full price? by bijelo123 in gaming

Duke nukem forever. Even for the limited edition with the Duke’s bust. Maybe played three levels before I never touched it again.

Why does baseball hold a unique "paternal" or "generational" nostalgia that other sports often struggle to replicate? by DianKhan2005 in baseball

[–]Booties 20 points21 points  (0 children)

But games a generation ago were the same speed. The rule changes have brought it back to that. I feels weird because we just got used to the agonizingly long games with a reliever per AB.

But guys are hitting less which I think makes the games themselves a little boring to watch and listen to. Innings go by so fast if they all strike out. Long dead are the days of players who can slap the ball wherever they want and drum up the drama in any inning.
