May 10th is the last 180 I hit. Over three weeks without a 180 and I practice 6 days a week! The tons and 140's are coming pretty easy this day but for some reason that third one will just not fall in. I've even tried just doing doubles and or 19's the last couple of days to take my mind off of it. What is your longest 180 drought?

well I'm in the same boat Mac and think its been longer though.

a very long time since I last hit one, 5th August 2011 1:48pm to be exact

I'm still drifting into the ones and 5's

I have seen myself go a couple of months without hitting a 180 but i never worry about it. I have seen a rich vein of form during the 'drought' so i judge myself on my overall performance rather than just 3 darts. If you keep it in your head that your not hitting 180`s then they inevitably begin to get harder to hit. Keep your mind focused on overall gameplay and the 180`s will creep back into your game.

Not drifting as much just seem to missing right above the treble on last dart. Must have done it 4 or five times yesterday alone. Funny thing in a couple times I pulled the single 20 out and re shot it and got it in the treble.

Think your right Bigshow. That's why I've stopped bashing the 20's and concentrating on cover shots and doubles right now. Hopefully that will help

i honestly don't keep track so i don't know. its not really something i'm worried about.

ummm... a lifetime.... still haven't broke the seal....

If I go for a while without hitting one I start to think about it and the third dart gets worse and I end up frustrated. It's difficult but if you can try and put it out of your mind you'll see them come back.

Darren - I know I'm a fine one to talk with all the sets I use, but just stick with one set of darts for most of your sessions and it will come.

And Lefty - I'm sure you'll break the seal shortly.

Cheers Mike, came very close twice today, just something upsets that third dart, MY MIND!

You`ll probably bag one when you think you`ve wired the second dart but in actual fact it`ll be in....well hopefully

Thats how I hit most of them anyway, so its definitely the mind that ruins it, Taylor and the others must have amazing powers of Zen!

Got it! Finally!

My last 180 was April (don't remember exactly). I practice 4-5 days a week.

Got a treble 20 last night, after a month. But it's probably a fluke, since I was experimenting on a different throw routine (similar to Hamilton's). I usually try and minimize my movement (basic pull back and throw), but the initial arm motion towards the target before pullback, helped make my throw more accurate. Still undecided if I should change my original throw since I wasn't able to duplicate the 180.

You can do it, Lefty! Keep throwing and you'll get one soon enough.

dont it enough of them to keep track-one or 2 a week if im lucky. im a righty so most of mine drift to the nails..when i feel it happening i slidem over to the treb 18. On the drought, i've had nights when i couldn't buy a treb 20. last time it happened i motorboated some titties and forgot all about it.
