I got it lol. I know all about the newspaper thing but I must be gripping too tight , or arm not aligned or stance hmmm too much thinking here. Anyone else had this malady ? and what was ya problem and how you do after?
Thanks Larry

Yup started for me two days ago, went from consistent 60-110 plus throws to 26s and 45s. Weird thing is bulleyes still relatively easy to come by. Just drifting out of 20's and 19's really

Amazing Mac the same here! Closed out a Cricket game with a hattrick. keep in touch buddy . IMO probably focus again. But don't forget to let me know what happens and I'll do the same for you.

will do, wont be practicing tonight as i got a wicked charly horse in my calf last night and can barely stand on it. But will keep you informed. Curious to see how bad my darts are league night if this continues

I always had it lol!

its always into the 5's and sometimes when I move on the oche it will go into the 1's but even when moving I still manage to hit the 5's. I think its how I initially line up the dart and release it which is the cause for me, I am trying to resolve it too.

Just don't worry about it - us mere mortals get it all the time, and the more you think about it the more it will happen

I've never heard of this before but mine drift consistently to the 12. Is there a cure?

Yep..... rotate the board so the 20 is in the 12 position.

Similar thing with Canuck, I sometimes drift to the 18's! VERY annoying

Got to be worth a try

I often drift into the 5's, but yesterday I had my best session ever on the 20 segment, I hit 17 in a row and believe it or not the 18th hit the big 1 and not the 5's lol

I seem to have a point somewhere around the right of my right eye, where if I start and follow through along that line I can hit the 20's better, I just need to be able to consistently repeat it which is the part I struggle with!

17 in a row is awesome. i call that point "the front sight" and i use it to adjust windage so to speak. I try to adjust the vertical axis with the arm. i can't front sight it all the time since i tend to foloow the groove of the throw, but it lets me lock it in when i need to settle down. helps me swing the dart over the top of the throw also.

Interesting Rum, I think sighting is an important part, before I was starting somewhere near the middle of my face as I am left eye dominant, but since employing a slightly longer drawback I keep hitting my face with the dart, but starting where I did yesterday seems to be the sweet spot for me, next time I play I will probably have to get in the groove again to find it once more, but will keep at it until I find it naturally everytime.
