| Now to me and most everyone else 3 perfect darts would no doubt be 3 darts that hit the target and mostly that would be the triple 20 bed. But yesterday I was throwing at the Treble 17, and I hit just above the wire of it, but although I missed the target the dart and mostly my stroke felt just right as it left my hand. I threw the next two darts and they all nestled nicely together above the T17 wire with the points near enough touching. For that brief moment everything felt so right, the feel of the dart in my hand the release and follow through it was almost like a trance or zen moment! I only wish I could have that feeling more often but actually hit the target too. |

| agree- feels like their on a string when that happens. try to recapture that moment and stay in the groove as long as possible---that makes it easier to find it again later. happy for ya bud. |

| Way to go!! I had a similar moment today - pulled out my Bulls Barney's and threw them for maybe ten minutes. Once I was warmed up, I was doing well hitting the targets I was aiming for - I stopped when I hit a ton 40. It sure is a nice feeling, I just wish I could have it all the time. I mean, what is it like to be a pro and be in the zone most of the time? |

Yeah its annoying in a way because when you do it once you scratch your head and think why cant I do it all the time, must something to do with the planets and stars aligning at just the right moment LOL Great when it happens though! |

| It definitely is a nice feeling when they are going right - not so much last night, but the previous matches it just felt that the game was "easy", everything was flowing as it should do.
Darren, you really need to try and find a team and then I reckon the feeling would come more often |

| once your in the zone i would recommend to keep throwing throughout the crest. what i mean is don't cut your practice short just cause your throwing good darts..keep plugging away and let your muscle memory build. the longer you stay in the groove, the easier it will be to recognize later.
Also question D, -have you ever tried throwing 21 darts in succesion on one throw rather than the standard 3. I say 21 cause that about all i can hold with my dog one one throw. I think it minimizes having to reset and lets the darter settle into the groove. |

Sounds interesting, I do have 6 or 7 sets that are all the same style, 23 or 24g, straight barrel, around 50mm, think I will have a go at this, cheers. |

Not tried that but its a very good tip Rum, and I think it will be a great way develop the muscle memory, the only thing is I think it would work best if the darts were all the same, failing that it would have to be the same weight at the least. Think I have a few sets that might fit the bill though, going to give it a shot! |

| took some photos last will get them up later...all my darts are different styles...and i think it would work even better if all were similar. even if you were just doing 3 or 4 sets at a time(which might be better to reduce fatigue) you begin to think less and feel more. |

| A few years ago, I bought two exact sets of darts for that purpose. Sadly, they didn't turn out to be the dart I wanted but I always wondered if it would help my game. |

| The feeling of throwing 3 perfect darts is like nothing else.
Sometimes when you step to the line and throw they go exactly where you want them to go.
You say to yourself "that was easy".
Then the next throw is a bag of rusty nails.
I think that's what keeps me coming back.
The feeling of a perfect throw. Seems so easy at times, And there no other feeling then
hitting a 180, 6 bulls, or a massive checkout.
Getting in the zone for just a few minutes and hitting anything you want.
Oh, how I love that feeling. |

| Yeah it's a great moment in time, and at least for those 3 perfect darts I can say I was as good as Taylor, if only briefly. |
