Its easy to get distracted by a big score in darts. treble 18 treble 14 big 20 woo hoo I have just hit 116 problem is only one dart went where you wanted it too. These games and practices take away the poor practice and allow + re enforce positive practice

As a beginner, that’s the first drill that makes sense. Every thing else I’ve seen supposedly for beginners seemed like I’d be ready to try after months of practice. Thank you!

@michelbalencourt904 2 жыл бұрын

Beginner here as well... I had the same problem but just redesigned one of the games that was explained by someone : I aim for big singles. I start at 5. I didn't at first, but any trebles, doubles or small singles I now don't accept as hits because that's not what I'm aiming for. 0 darts in : -1 1 dart in : Stay 2 darts in : +1 3 darts in : +2 If I get up to 20, 1 dart in Bull or 25 and I won the game. If I miss all three, back to 20. And then you can do what you want but now I only go down only 4 from the highest number I got to. So let's say I went up to 11, I lose if I go back down to 7 and miss three times again. When I lose the game I either play another game before going back to that one or I take a break and restart the game afterwards. This game may seem easy to some more experienced players but it's still pretty hard for me, especially without accepting anything else than the exact segment I'm aiming for. I only once got up to 15.

Just tried this and this is such a fun drill. Maybe this is useful to anyone else: I use My Darts Training App to keep track of the score. I use the Highscore mode and set it to 20 legs. Every bull is counted as a miss, and I only add whatever ends up in 5,20 or 1.

Great practice idea👍…I’ve adapted the concept and use masking tape to tape a vertical line either side of the treble 20 and treble 3, I then tape horizontally across bottom of the bull so you have a tiny bit of the 1 and 5…I then do bull to start then 5 visits to score as many points as possible then back to bull to start again for 10 rounds,3 misses outside the target area is game over. Any additional darts on the bull are -25 from overall score. It’s amazing how you can get at least one dart in that target area per round👍

Appreciate this. Id love to get some coaching. Love the game. Practice hours per day. I'm shit. Shit. Not THE shit. Just shit. But I am getting better. Played for 40 years before I got a 180 last year. Then I got 2 more in about 6 months. Then I got one in a game. (Lost the game but at least I did it and had witnesses) Last week I got 5 180s in 5 days, including 2 in one day. And a 150 check out. IN A GAME! But I'm still pretty shit. I know there's something about my release, but I cannot work ot out. And I get soooooo many bounce outs. Managed to bounce all three out in one visit. Hit the triple 20 wire with every dart.

A useful warm-up game for sure, really helps to straighten the throw by discouraging any stray darts which are often rewarded in 501. The struggle of clobbering T1 when a worse throw grants 54 points!

@Edgartvdarts 3 жыл бұрын

Exactly and it gives you a false reading. Treble 1 is a better thrown dart than 54 but by your average and stats it’s not. That means when you get better you think your getting worse

One tip I would say is experiment with your points. Not enough amateur players experiment with their points. Most use the ones that come with the darts. I think your points make a huge difference in a variety of ways. I have tried just about every length and style and there's a huge difference to my average with the ones I use now. Don't overlook your points people!

I dont understand why I get 60 Darts? When I throw 3 Darts (lets say I hit 3x20) I can continue, 2nd throw: 3x20, 3rd throw 3x20 4th throw 3x20 = Total Score of 240. Is the game then over and I can start e.g. a new Isolated Area or what do I do if I havent missed any darts after 4 rounds?

@baillieedwards9468 3 жыл бұрын

So, just thinking of my practice here, if I’m playing 501 on my own and need to add a challenge, would it be effective to not count scores that go out of the isolation area. My average will be lower but when I get a higher average, it will be due to better accuracy? Great video though

@Edgartvdarts 3 жыл бұрын

Yes exactly if you think for example you hit 5 18s in a game it will give you a much higher average than if you hit 5 1s. However when you get better you will hit more 1s cause the variable won’t be as high which will bring your average down. You have got better but you will think you got worse cause your average

I play a game where I start on 20 and throw until I hit at least 1 treble. But if I miss all 3 on the 20 I start over. When I get at least a treble I go to 19 and do the same thing but again if I miss 19 with all 3 I start over back at 20. Do that thru 15’s. Then same idea on bull. Hit a bull and win but have to hit a 25 to not start over. Every time I have to start over is a strike and 3 strikes I lose. Not for beginner level but I only average 60 and win about 15% (rough guess) of the times I play. Fun game and really surprises you how many times u start to hit 5,6,7 of the number u are going for.
