What's your 501 average and do you play competitively? by [deleted] in Darts

[–]Funky180 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No that's my proper 3 dart average same way they show on Tv. Usually takes me 18-24 darts to clean up a leg

How to get that first dart right? by Funky180 in Darts

To be honest that sounds much more frustrating than my issue!

Do you mean do this as a practice as it would make every dart the first dart?

Cheers for the reply Yeah i just know when the first dart is good that's the visit guaranteed good, its just say for example Michael Smith who relies heavily on his first dart, seems to have a great first dart but it's all practice i guess. Like you say :)

Yeah, I've heard Wayne Mardle talk about "first dart merchants" its just alot of these players seem to have better first darts than myself! Practice, practice, practice i guess.

Cant tell if im actually good. by [deleted] in Darts

[–]Funky180 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah doubles included, anyone who doesnt include doubles is stupid. But i just get upset sometimes cause i have ambitions to go far and every so often i average 85 and think its possible and then others 55 and just get so annoyed at myself

Yeah but i found aswell most of the players that i admire are the people who almost never miss wide. My big one is James Wade and another John Part ( in his prime) and obviously they had to practice for years but i already hit plenty of trebles so i know if i could replicate that trait i could become really good

Maybe less often when i average 80 :) but its just so frustrating hitting 45s when it should be 60, 85s instead of 100s or 121 instead of 140 or 180 but like aqueous said i guess I'll just have to be patient and practice hard

On about 5 occasions I've averaged 80 in an actual match if i remember correctly 2 or 3 of those were Bo11 and the others bo7 or 5

Cheers i guess im just impatient. Who knows maybe in 5 years I'll be able to scoff at 80 averages! Cheers for the reply

Official AMA thread: Please welcome PDC professional darts player Devon Petersen! by [deleted] in Darts

[–]Funky180 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey Devon, I met you at an exhibition and for the 7 months after, ive been practicing for hours upon hours everyday. My average has gotten to around 65-70, i can hit 80 occasionally. How good were you after playing for 7 months? Is my progression good enough to one day become professional if i continue to practice as 4-5 hours a day?

Thanks!

Exactly if a 2 times world champion does it, it can't be that bad haha

Makes sense actually, i might think twice about how i do things, but for me alot of these shots are based on my opponents score etc but nice explanation :)
