  • This really simple practice method will help you improve your grouping, and learn to hit marker darts more like the pros do!
    How many times do you throw a lovely first dart and walk away frustrated when the next two don't live up to your expectations? This low tech solution will help you use the first dart to group your others more effectively.

    Using a dart as a practice aid is a great idea, thank you! I've got a bit of a psychological problem in that if the first dart hits the T20 it tends to throw me off with the next 2... I'm going to have a practice like this and see if it helps : ) And wow when it goes dark you can see that cricket bat is really scuffed up!

    Great video and concept. Well worth practicing as it’s so important. Regarding my own practice I like to use 6 darts for grouping practice sessions. Throw the 1st one, then try and hit some part of the 1st dart with the other 5. Not easy for a beginner like me but it does work. When you are off form it helps to tighten things up

    Just wanted to drop another comment to not only compliment this great video (I’m looking forward to practicing this drill later), but to also let you know that I got two triple-20’s for the first time yesterday! I’m also starting to group my darts more consistently... your previous advice about standing head-on (due to my blindness) has worked out fantastic.. I know I’m no where near good enough to be giving advice to anyone.. but man, if I ever get to talking about darts w/ anyone I’ll be sure to point them your way and tell about what I’ve learned from you so far.

    • @DartsClass
      @DartsClass  Před 3 lety +2

      Awesome. Thank you Joseph. Improving darts is about small percentage gains, people think there must be a magic method or darts setup that gets you throwing like a pro. In reality it's experience and practice that helps improve, but hopefully some of these help to quicken that process along! Hope you'll be able to get out soon, join a team / league and then you'll really see your game and averages improve 👍🎯

      @joeturk Před 3 lety +1

      @@DartsClass Thanks for the wisdom - truly a great reminder. Coming from a family full of NFL special-teamers (punters and a snapper), the concept of focusing on small-percentage gains makes total sense... I'll be sure to approach darts the same way! Appreciate the response and encouragement!
      (Also, I think the fact that you still preach the principle of incremental growth and hard work says a lot about this channel / yourself. I'm sure I can speak for others when I say that your genuineness is appreciated! God Bless!)

    Hi bud , thanks for another amazing video. I use 15mm ring for grouping and a dart marker like you. It's very good for practice grouping and muscle memory. I do this for an hour twice a week or more if I'm struggled. Thank you.

    Это абсолютно верно, все профессиональные игроки кидают в хвост первому дротику. Вы можете видеть когда первый дротик попадает в самый край утроения 20, второй попадает прямо рядом с ним, а не левее. И когда кидаешь в хвост первому дротику рука гораздо более расслаблена почему то, сложно это объяснить. Спасибо

      Hi Teresa. I play this one a lot... it helps recreate the reality of needing to hit the bullseye with your last dart, but also helps your scoring on the t20s too...

    Still trying foot stance and releasing calmly but no consistency yet champ😢😊. I practice with 9 darts at home but some are 21g, 23g & 3rd set is 24 g so wondering if that's a nono?

  • @martindzik3850

    Are you better off playing with steel darts or soft tips? Does it matter?

    • @DartsClass
      @DartsClass  Před 3 lety

      Depends where you're from. USA and Asia, soft tip is very popular. Europe and rest of the world is pretty much steel tip. If you want to be a professional, it has to be steel tip, but you might find to play causally for fun that the leagues in your area are predominantly soft tip. In the UK its 99% steel tip although with the growth of online darts, the popularity of softip is increasing

  • @willis218
    @willis218 Před 3 lety +1

    I understand the marker placement, I am just curious why you don't just go for the double with the 1st dart to start with.

    • @DartsClass
      @DartsClass  Před 3 lety +1

      Oh you do. Sorry if I wasn't clear about it in the video. Using a marker is always plan B if you miss closely with the first dart 👍🎯

  • @paulboardman247
    @paulboardman247 Před 4 lety

    My first dart always seems to go a little high, so I aim for the bottom of the treble 20 wire. It seems to work for me. Another tip I was told was if the first dart hits the t20 aim for the flight with your next dart.

    • @DartsClass
      @DartsClass  Před 4 lety

      Spot on. Aim at the flight. My first dart I don't aim at the T20 bed, I aim at its top wire

    thoughts as to whether this is applicable to soft tip darts at all?

    • @DartsClass
      @DartsClass  Před 3 lety

      Probably less applicable as from the little amount I know about soft tip, the darts will always lie flat at a 90 degree angle. However the principle may remain the same if you 'over stack' the darts by placing one just beneath the treble

  • @claymore32
    @claymore32 Před 3 lety +1

    Using a lie is why I love 120 as a finish. My darts land flat, so if I hit the 60, I can put one just below the double to stick my next one on top of.

    • @DartsClass
