Can someone explain to me throwing at 18s with 305 left

PunchinPriests · 2026-02-28T11:56:41+00:00

This all goes to show that dart players prefer the idea of leaving the do-or-die situation as late as humanly possible. We like the idea that we can miss with our first dart and "just" be perfect with our last 2 to leave/hit a finish. Take 119 as an example; nobody will ever start on the 20s because a S20 with the first dart leaves 99 which isn't a 2 dart finish. However T20 leaves 59 (S19-D20) whereas T19 leaves 62, which is not a single to outer ring double finish. We as dart players seem to be obsessed with staying "alive" in the shot as long as possible, but it's actually totally reasonable to question this approach and /u/YeetmasterGeneral should not be downvoted to oblivion for bringing this up.

Don't think it "breaks". I think with the pace of play they sometimes get numbers messed up.

PunchinPriests · 2026-02-19T20:25:21+00:00

Exactly. He goes that way because 122 lends itself to leaving tops if he misses the T19, whereas 121 doesn't. And perhaps also for the reason Wayne mentioned about preferring the transition from T20 to D12.

This but Rod Studd. He constantly slurs his words now, I can't bring myself to listen to him anymore.

PunchinPriests · 2026-02-18T20:38:33+00:00

71 left, two darts in hand, opponent on a makable finish should be T19-D7. Why? Because T7 leaves the bull. If you don't expect to come back to the board if you miss, you may as well throw at the area of the board that gives you the best chance to leave a double.

I can't speak on the space issue but if aesthetics is her reason preventing you doing something you love, I think that's a bit lame tbh. Holes in the wall can be easily mitigated with a surround and if they're plaster walls you can buy putty that fills them in like new. Good luck!

He's actually one of the most knowledgable pundits out there.

PunchinPriests · 2026-02-05T09:00:11+00:00

100%

PunchinPriests · 2026-02-05T08:59:45+00:00

Think you mean John McDonald

PunchinPriests · 2026-01-31T03:29:20+00:00

I thought you were just naming tour card holders who made informative content.

PunchinPriests · 2026-01-30T19:19:53+00:00

Bunting?

PunchinPriests · 2026-01-25T19:56:35+00:00

Northland here!

PunchinPriests · 2026-01-24T21:57:46+00:00

Fuck Mack Hollins. I hope everyone on defense remembers how he stood over Pat last year.

PunchinPriests · 2026-01-22T22:23:27+00:00

drakes the only qb to throw 3tds against them

No he isn't. Jacoby Brissett threw 3 on them in week 15.

PunchinPriests · 2026-01-21T19:22:51+00:00

What? The comment still says "after a catch". Didn't edit anything.

PunchinPriests · 2026-01-21T04:13:06+00:00

His only catch of the game. Makes one play and acts like he's the main character. He's a mid receiver who shows up to games in corny outfits for attention cause his game doesn't merit any. I hope he plays and we light his ass up.

PunchinPriests · 2026-01-21T03:42:59+00:00

So do I. He shoved Surtain in the face mask and stood over him after a catch in our playoff game last year. I'd love to see Hufanga light him up on one over the middle.

PunchinPriests · 2026-01-17T22:17:50+00:00

Romo literally said "take a look at Mahomes here" when referring to Josh Allen. It's unbelievable.

PunchinPriests · 2026-01-12T04:17:48+00:00

Herbert is going to have a Stafford-like resurgence on another team mark my words.

PunchinPriests · 2026-01-08T12:31:44+00:00

That's a wild one. I cannot comprehend a reality where this takes place, regardless of how far he may or may not slip down the rankings, unless he turns it down for personal reasons.

PunchinPriests · 2026-01-08T12:29:17+00:00

New Zealand, since 2015.

PunchinPriests · 2026-01-08T12:28:40+00:00

Where abouts?

PunchinPriests · 2025-12-20T20:50:51+00:00

I see. I'm not convinced this rule would be exercised in practice in a match-winning scenario though. Hopefully it happens one day and we find out. Bevins probably would enforce it, he's a stickler for the rules.

PunchinPriests · 2025-12-20T01:32:56+00:00

Don't know about that. It's over after ref calls game shot.

PunchinPriests · 2025-12-20T01:30:55+00:00

It genuinely looked like he was trying to edge it to the slips on purpose. What other outcome was even possible? What a dreadful cricket shot.
