I met Paul In Plymouth a few years back, what a lovely bloke, ok his personality on stage was very theatrical but that was his style

[@cardamundo295]

I play game 1 but varied it so that if I miss a number I have to get a whole set of 3 in that number before I can progress, that way you're practicing on the number you missed on rather than the one before that you hit first time! So basically you have 3 darts to hit a number once but if you miss you must try it over and over again until you can hit all 3 in, then you can move onto the next number.

[@mortenfrederiksen3923]

Very good thinking!

Cheers Paul, love the 201 in 6, lose if you don't manage it! really makes you concentrate!

[@buffalobrando1288]

Excellent stuff Paul 👍

[@IanL1]

Good stuff mate, I've been playing the first one mentioned, round the clock game on me own for a while, I love it.

[@MWJH_]

I'll definitely use the first one! Thanks!

[@moulletsmayhem2334]

Great video, thanks for the practice ideas

[@whatsthepoint8364]

amazing mate thank you all really good practice games. kept me busy lol

[@ricochet_180]

God bless The Asset! ❤
I find the Double Snakes and Ladders game so much fun, I actually implemented a caveat into this game that if you hit 3 Doubles in a row you lock in a new starting position.
Example > I hit D4, D5 & D6 with 3 darts. I now can't go back below D6, so D7 is my new starting position. Great Game.
The 201 is a great game for all levels to improve their game.

Pretty cool man,I’ve been playing darts a week and I’m practicing doubles round the board ending with 25 and bull, it took me 44 minutes the first time and today I did it in 37 mins, not very good but hopefully I will keep beating my time.👍

God bless Paul

7 d1 does anyone do this? That would be madness

[@bilikdartscheckout417]

Hi, want to ask what is the maximum time to practice if not success?

[@GermanJake]

I play 501 in 30 darts. Best of 5, Far away from advanced but it’s definitely tough.

[@Weedee82]

The 201 game has improved my finishing game it has made me more successful

[@slingo1246]

Which part of Australia is your accent from Paul? I can’t pinpoint it. 😂😂 the goat darts villain for me

[@jetta2glx]

Beginner drill here was fun until I got to 12 and fell back to 3. Now I'm stuck at 3 and infuriated.

[@mortenfrederiksen3923]

The last drill, No split Doubles, is downright ridiculous for beginners and intermediate players. It's just too frustrating, and that's demotivating. So I suggest that you only go back one for splitting. That way you keep it interesting and FAR less frustrating.

So hirap

My darts bounce out too much,

[@SplinterCatalogue]

Your dart board is probably the issue.
