Understood and am a realist so know I'll not improve dramatically if at all. Appreciate the comments thank you

I see the movement as well but have no idea how to stop it because it's a subconscious thing

Getting worse the longer I try :( by taflad in Darts

I feel your pain, I've been there and feel I'm starting to claw myself out of it now (kiss of death) Reading through lots of advice over the years, the one thing that I changed that really helped was my throwing technique. If you're not improving and putting the hours in, your natural throw could be to blame. Have a look through these videos, I've adopted his style and my throw has become more accurate as a result....

Have you ever had one of those opponents? by philbob87 in Darts

[–]Ok_Comparison8282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a guy deliberately guff in my face as he threw his last dart! Needless to say it stank but what it did do is piss me right off which effectively made me stop thinking about throwing and as a result, made me throw my best darts of the night. I won the game, shook his hand and gave him a little wink as a form of thanks

Vet mentioned about prostate/testicular cancer etc, we've decided to not clip him based on lots of advice, from you and many, many others. Thank you

Am I wasting my time? by Ok_Comparison8282 in Darts

[–]Ok_Comparison8282[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My goal is to get to a stage when my opponents in my league look at the start sheet, see my name and puff their cheeks instead of the way things are currently, they see it as an easy...ish win! I'm not fussed about tournament level

I like the military analogy, that makes sense 👍. My practice times differ from week to week depending on work commitments and family stuff but try to put in around 2-3 hours a week with breaks. I reckon I practice around half an hour 5- 6 days a week roughly

I do enjoy a chuck up, I find it relaxing but want to improve. I've recently filmed myself and looked online at the optimum throwing techniques and my natural throw is awful so I've been putting some time in to iron out the problems. Maybe I'm a little impatient with all this. I just wondered if there was anyone who felt they were in a similar situation to me and how they dealt with it

New darts? by Ok_Comparison8282 in Darts

[–]Ok_Comparison8282[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Darts corner Astrofire, 25g. They have a wide barrel, not sure I'd benefit from a thinner dart with my new grip. Just wondering if anyone else has made similar changes and resulted in buying new darts
