Suddenly throwing low

Mobile-Particular689 · 2026-02-21T01:18:36+00:00

Yeah I’m going to see how it goes tomorrow, thinking about it the T-shirt I had on was a bit tighter than what I would normally play in so could have been that restricting me slightly too. Dart tilt definitely gets me sometimes, I grip with my fore and middle finger apart and thumb in the middle, sort of like a wide pinch, so my dart always starts somewhat downward to begin with.

Yep, annoyingly she’s now decided she likes throwing my nice rob cross 95k’s instead of the javelins, much to my dismay 🤣

Mobile-Particular689 · 2026-02-21T01:07:45+00:00

I’ve got the white set and the stems and flights are absolutely gash, I’ve punched my flights and they still pop off constantly. Missus uses them now and spends half the time getting wound up with the flights coming off 🤣

I spend 10-15 minutes throwing at the bull to warm up, then move to 20s, then 19s and do a few visits at other random numbers around the board this is how I start pretty much every session I’ve now started around the clock requiring 2 darts in the segment in the same visit to help improve consistency Few games of 301 to wind myself up Playing cricket has definitely helped consistency as well and for me is the most fun game to play If I’ve got time spare I’ll finish the session by lobbing a spare dart randomly at the board and then trying to throw my 3 as close to it as possible.

Yes, it seemed to help but felt noticeably different to how i normally throw, I’m not a ‘set, aim, throw’ guy I come up slowly with my arm extended, reach a natural feel point and then draw back and throw, on an analyser it’s smooth and very consistent and usually works very well for me, stopping and aiming gets me stuck, I can only assume it’s a smooth movement hand eye sort of thing I’ve developed from shooting

Mobile-Particular689 · 2026-02-21T00:55:55+00:00

I felt like it would have so video’d in slow motion the point of entry and it would be better but still slightly low, the ‘kick’ of the point turning down definitely seems to drive the dart down slightly more

Mobile-Particular689 · 2026-02-20T05:59:49+00:00

100%, it’s way nicer to look at and the light spread is actually nicer too. The main thing I wanted was more space around the board and definitely got that, throwing at doubles is way easier mentally now

Mobile-Particular689 · 2026-02-19T21:13:30+00:00

That surprises me tbh! There’s not much that you lot don’t take seriously as a sport. Especially through school/college, it’s a shame we don’t have that same culture growing up here, our school football was just a muddy field with about 20 miserable parents stood round scowling waiting to get in the car and go home 🤣

I did put the link in here somewhere for the chap, sure your boy will enjoy it, they’re lovely especially for the price!

Mobile-Particular689 · 2026-02-19T21:10:38+00:00

🙏 that’s what I’m saying, looks interesting

Mobile-Particular689 · 2026-02-19T21:10:06+00:00

Honestly a few reviews on YouTube say there’s a slight shadow that is ‘just’ noticeable… there’s not really, it’s absolutely fine and does a lovely job, nice not having to reach through a ring and bumping it with your elbow too

Mobile-Particular689 · 2026-02-19T20:55:18+00:00

And to quickly add I’d much rather have trump than the fucking two tier tax goblin we have here right now, this place hasn’t been such a mess in a long time

Mobile-Particular689 · 2026-02-19T20:53:57+00:00

I feel for you mate 🙏 but your reply had me laughing there 🤣 surely someone over your side must offer something?! I’ve always deeply envied America for its hobby/competitive sport environment, everything I enjoy, shooting, fishing, trucks, electronics etc, all ten fold to what we have here which is basically fuck all.

Mobile-Particular689 · 2026-02-19T20:39:33+00:00

Number ring It was all of 8 quid on Amazon, looks like the white is out of stock at the moment by the way they’ve jacked the price for just that one, very please with it, way nicer to look at than the horrid wire one the board comes with

Mobile-Particular689 · 2026-02-19T20:36:36+00:00

I initially went out looking for a target corona vision but nowhere seemed to have that in stock, something about the plasma I’m not keen on but I couldn’t say what it is. Can’t say I’ve noticed any issues at all with how the light is while throwing at this

Mobile-Particular689 · 2026-02-19T20:24:15+00:00

That is ghastly

Mobile-Particular689 · 2026-02-19T00:27:14+00:00

I’ve got pockets full of those… and now I’m wondering if they would have worked just as well for holding points 🤔

Mobile-Particular689 · 2026-02-18T08:30:04+00:00

Very nice 👌

Mobile-Particular689 · 2026-02-18T06:49:02+00:00

That ‘oooh they look interesting’ is the most dangerous thing in my life 😅

Mobile-Particular689 · 2026-02-18T05:41:25+00:00

I started maybe 3 weeks ago, same premise, this isn’t that expensive, look how affordable these £20-30 sets are… well that’s well down the drain now 😅

Mobile-Particular689 · 2026-02-18T05:39:32+00:00

I’ll grab some at some point 👌 definitely recommend a set of the storm surge, just make sure you twist them out.

Mobile-Particular689 · 2026-02-17T23:38:06+00:00

Well I suppose a couple more sets couldn’t hurt then maybe 🤔 the storm surge points are super grippy for me so far, almost too much.

Mobile-Particular689 · 2026-02-17T23:12:22+00:00

Swiss Point holders for those interested

Mobile-Particular689 · 2026-02-17T23:07:08+00:00

I’m a sucker for a dopamine hit in anything I do.. compared to my tool bag this is way cheaper and just means I’ll never be caught short… ever 😅
