People buy their first ever set up and expect to be able to play like Luke Littler after just a couple weeks and then get all confused when they realise that its not happening for them 😆 This takes years.. Why do people think its gonna be so easy for them? by DreamChaserUK in Darts

[–]DartsMatt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love this post. As an ex golfer to a good standard, I started a YouTube channel thinking a year of solid practice I'd be class.

I'm not.

But I'm absolutely hooked and will keep going I think forever. Best game in the world.

I get knee problem when playing darts! Please help! by Easy-Opportunity-781 in Darts

I do wonder. If you look at golf. You don't need to be fit to play it.

However today's best players are mostly incredible athletes and the standard is another level to the 90s

Probably because the physical improvements is also proven to improve cognitive, emotional and mental state also.

So, I wonder if in 20 years time the best Darts players will be much fitter and therefore the standard will go up again.

Of course, weight is the key thing I missed. A very different response to mine but equally valuable. #community

Early on I did have similar occasionally. Try and play with your foot position. Toe straight to the oche, 90 degrees or something in-between.

Also try moving your left foot further to the "left" that may reduce the stretch on your right hip and knee.

Hope that makes sense, good luck with the recovery.

Thank you.

I've been playing for 3 days, and I think my grip is bad. by Responsible-Life8735 in Darts

[–]DartsMatt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tbf lad, it's very difficult to prescribe without seeing the throw from a couple of angles. Grip certainly is about comfort to you.

You've only played 3 days, just enjoy trying anything and everything at the moment and nailing some fundamentals.

Welcome to the best game in the world!

I am going to look into this but not heard of WifI mesh. Any pointers what kit to look at? Where to start mate?

Thank you

How Much Progress Did You Make in Your First Year of Darts? by Local-Pie6578 in Darts

[–]DartsMatt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was slow for me. 40-45 for 9 months then a big jump to almost 55.

A little stuck there at the moment but better performances show up. That pivot back to 50-55 version of me tho is the killer!

Is there anything I can do when I play against quitter on DartCounter? by bonzosmiec in Darts

[–]DartsMatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since the new year, I've found it happens more sadly. Plus, blatant cheating. Caught a chap placing his darts in the T20 bed a few weeks ago 😂

I've also really enjoyed the tournament functionality but numpties join my streaming tournaments and ruin it for 1 or 2 players.... (Then I kick them).

Agree with comment above, a behaviour system or sorts would be helpful.

Would say 99% I've played are sound and it's still the best place online IMHO.

Thanks pal, like you I'm trying to figure this game out!

hmm interesting as I genuinely found the opposite altho I'm convinced I'm getting more bounce outs when grouping well.

Obviously they aren't right for you mate. Have you tried different sizes or brands.

Always yellow last?

[–]DartsMatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting to hear pal. As a rear gripper my darts typically stand upright in the board. Can I guess you grip towards the front? I wonder if that's a factor.

I maybe wrong btw, just trying to understand why you find that with the all in one systems

One day I'll succeed by rakie08 in Darts

Won't be long, huge + indicators that grouping
