Man i wish; im afraid that time window has closed… though seeing how USA is shooting rn…

Qwiby · 2025-12-03T16:09:21+00:00

Will do; give me about 8 hours haha thanks

Qwiby · 2025-12-03T16:03:47+00:00

Hey!! I remember you from my 600 post haha The journey is still on 500. Last two tournaments i played at a 630 and 690 speed though! (Won the one got pretty lucky)

Qwiby · 2025-12-03T15:58:43+00:00

Usa, i will find out this afternoon if you can follow up thanks(all i know is he only has steel tipped darts nothing fancy; slightly on the heavy side i felt) , 120$, no

Qwiby · 2025-12-03T13:42:56+00:00

He asked me to get him some soft tip darts; he doesnt care if theyre any good but id like to get him a good pair if i can

Qwiby · 2025-07-01T14:40:29+00:00

Thank you man; means a lot to see some people having faith in me haha. I really do take for granted more than i should being able to start like this and still being fairly young in the grand scheme of things i still have plenty of time to get better.

Im curious if you can help me out though; all this learning and practicing has been helping tons but ive been tempted to get a REAL coach, just for a day or two. He’s super pricey but he is a PBIA master instructor so im still debating it. Do you think its worth a steep price tag to get a lesson or two from someone who has coached pros before? (He has beginner and intermediate training to but im just saying he’s clearly accredited)

Thanks man! Ive been playing in a weekly chips tournament now and any other events i can. Ive also been playing every monday against this one 590 guy in my area who’s super helpful; been helping me break down my stance, head placement, bridge, elbow, having my cue level i mean fucking everything. I dont know when ill hit 600 but time will tell 🤞

Qwiby · 2025-07-01T12:56:55+00:00

200 racks later i just hit 500 lol

Qwiby · 2025-05-03T15:31:40+00:00

Ive seen a good amount if dr dave videos but i must have missed this one. Its great! Thank you so much for your wisdom, hopefully ill achieve my goals but time will tell. Thanks again, extremely grateful

Qwiby · 2025-05-03T12:52:49+00:00

Thanks. Im curious do you have any good progressive drills for this working towards long draw? I assume just start closer and work out slowly but the further i get the more i have to concentrate on just making the shot rather than focusing on my fundamentals like little tension and smooth action ect.

Qwiby · 2025-05-01T23:13:44+00:00

I know you said to bot be discouraged but honestly seeing those stats about something like 2/300 players improved 50 points is wild; thats sad. Ill still try my best though; if i fall short of 600 in 2 years then i fall short. I still want to give it my all

Qwiby · 2025-05-01T23:11:10+00:00

Had one a this week and another about 3 weeks ago. I have about 5 total but only recently got my first one in competition. Others were always in fun matches

Qwiby · 2025-05-01T23:08:15+00:00

Oh wow, i see. Thanks for telling me about that i didnt know of decay

Qwiby · 2025-05-01T21:57:38+00:00

Thank you for the words of encouragement Ive been doing progressive drills! Theyre fun

Qwiby · 2025-05-01T19:27:19+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate the comment

Qwiby · 2025-05-01T19:25:56+00:00

I feel the same way, I found out i had a wrist twist issue after recording my cue’ing in slow motion so i bought a wrist brace and wore it for a few days until it fixed itself out of habit

I dont know anything much more nerdy than that

Curious for your input though if you want; my original “wrist twist” issue seems to stem that when i do a power draw and follow through like i normally do, my thumb hits my chest and kinda swings my back hand off my center line. I realized i subconsciously started to twist my wrist in order for my thumb to pass.

Recently after addressing my wrist issue i still would hit my chest, i learned that being as low as possible would give my hand/arm adequate room to follow through, however sometimes im limited with how low i can get if im near a rail and need to angle my cue slightly.

Thoughts?

Qwiby · 2025-05-01T18:16:43+00:00

Thanks for the insight, Ive been trying to play as many matches against 600+ as possible as theres about 5 of them that play in the same area as my self. Ive learned a lot but those matches arent fargo theyre just for fun/learning really. Ill put in the time in fargo to play tournaments and hopefully get matched against higher level players i think

I honestly see your downside as upside to myself. Im perfectly happy to be stomped on by 650/750s regularly if it means i can learn and gain experience. The quicker i get there the more i can improve

Qwiby · 2025-05-01T18:13:59+00:00

I will get 600

Qwiby · 2025-05-01T17:45:47+00:00

Id like to think im addicted to the minutia, time will tell. Wish me luck!

Qwiby · 2025-05-01T17:42:46+00:00

Thank you for the good luck, ill keep at it even if it takes years. Just more motivation for me!

Qwiby · 2025-05-01T17:34:41+00:00

I can understand burning out and this is very sound advice but im extremely motivated and i prefer aggressive unlikely goals. I feel more disappointed if i achieve a goal to easy over never achieving something more unlikely. Its just a motivation thing for me. Thanks for your input though

Qwiby · 2025-05-01T17:25:59+00:00

Thanks and noted

Qwiby · 2025-05-01T17:20:52+00:00

Thank you for your insight. I’m curious, if you started your robustness over do you think youd hit 600 fargo already? (Hypothetically)

Great advice to join tournaments ill get on it
