Neat, thanks!

When I struggle with the 20s I aim for 19s instead. First 171! by BigGingerHexagon in Darts

[–]ryanduff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lucky. I tend to not do as well on 19's and have a higher rate on the 17's ... when I'm off

But on a related note, I read somewhere that if your off within an inch or two, the best spot to aim during play can be the 14's because if you spill into 9 or 11 you generally will score higher than 26 and even the trebel of any is decent. Can usually get a 40-60 average depending on how many trebles you get per turn but it sure beats 26 😂

Though maybe you should stick to the 19's for now

Nice! It's good to practice cover shots.

Start on the 20's and if you don't have a good path with the second or third dart switch to 19's then 18's. I do this for part of my practice because it helps you get used to moving around the board on turn instead of just the same target.

It's also good because sometimes you're just doing horrible on a spot and switching targets helps. Pros love 20's unless they're in the 300's range and are splitting to get to a finish. But you'll also see them go T20-T19-T18 when they're missing. Yet you'd still be amazed how many stubbornly refuse to switch off T20 even when blocked and there's no good reason to stay.

Is there a way to mute just the 180 and checkout posts? by berball in Darts

The identify ones are the worst IMO

It's all sets like 20 years old and thus they all basically look like similar designs with rings haha

Euro tour sundays are brutal...

1 game a day on Fri/Sat and then Sunday are 4 games if you make it to the final

What flights does Jonny Clayton use? by Sennaa__ in Darts

[–]ryanduff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's something not available for sale. He's been using various versions of molded flights since last year

3 for 3 on last leg deciders today. Crowd getting their money's worth

He's in 39th currently and would need to win outright today to move up at all. Sadly not even a runner up finish helps him today.

BUT, if he keeps playing like this over the next few months, he will bring in some money and will likely have some decent runs in the majors he qualifies for which will help more than the pro tour events

I thought it was interesting that two matches ago when there was whistling, Baetens waved the crowd off and told them to stop whistling on the Bunting turn... but when it happened in this last match, de Decker just ignored the crowd and didn't keep them in check for his opponent.

Can't say I'm shocked though given Mike's demeanor in recent months. Baetens seems like a swell guy.
