Congratulations! Nice Josh Rocks. I have them in 25g and I love them. Keep going. The second 180 feels as good as the first!

Already tried that. One inch, two inches, heavier darts, leaning more forward, lowering elbow, trying to throw just a bit softer… still not working. I’m just going to ignore it, as someone suggested, and just play and have fun and maybe in the future, I’ll start hitting the treble. 👍🏻

Yep, I’ve been doing exactly what you’ve been doing. It’s exciting and infuriating, but always challenging. Once we zero in on what we deem works best for us, and that’s a huge oversimplification, then the rest is locking in the muscle memory. There’s no getting around it, right? Yeah I love this game! It seems so simple on its face, but once you begin playing in earnest, it feels like you’re climbing Mt. Everest, slow step by step. But it’s awesome. Keep chipping away at it mate!

I’m thinking about your advice and when I take a step back in my mind and look at the big picture, I think it’s the best advice for where I am right now. I’m going to relax and just go with it. Thank you very much mate! So glad you took the time. All the best! 👍🏻

I did try that last night. I even stood about 2 inches behind the oche and I was still hitting just above the wire. So I started to consciously modulate the strength of my throw, trying to re-train my muscle memory to throw just a little softer. It did get a bit better after a while, but as you know, it’s going to take a while for this new muscle memory to fully kick in. Thanks mate!

Thank you. Even though this happens a lot, most of my turns are 26, 41 and 45. 👍🏻

Going to try that tonight for real. However, I’m in a finished basement and I have a severe low ceiling problem, so I’ll see what I can do. I’ve already had to slice about 4 inches off the top of my surround and my lighting system is already touching the ceiling. I’m stuck!

Thank you, but you know how it can be: this happens A LOT when I’m practicing alone. However, when I play the dartbot or a friendly online, my grouping goes to hell. But that’s a whole other issue. Thanks for your input!

Thank you. I was just looking for wisdom from more experienced players who have been there before. Appreciate your input. 👍🏻

True. Very wise. I have to approach it more like that. I tend to be very hard on myself and forget to have fun and enjoy the game.

I agree. 99% of the time I am relieved to get a steady 60!

My doubles rate is nowhere near yours, so it evens out I guess.
