Sounds more like the mental side than just plain accuracy.
Accuracy feeds confidence and vice versa. It's not entirely a catch 22, but you need to find a way to raise one and they can both take off.

Dropping your expectations can help too. You'll feel more relaxed, you'll have more fun and you'll play more freely, not scared to lose.

Try changing where you stand on the line just a bit. It sounds like you have a mental block, and that slight change often times is enough to break that block..

Thanks for the replys I will look in to your lincs lefty
robbie this could defo be the problem and jake I have moved slightly and changed my stance now can not seam to get back to my fave position my mate told me sunday i stood different nearly every throw just trying to find the best possion.

Sounds like the mental side could be the issue, but if you have changed something physically and the problem started after that then that could be it too.

A great Aussie player from years ago told me this when I told him I was having problems staying out of the 5's.

He said: Get a piece of string and pin it to your dart board, starting above the 20's and finishing below the 3's.

Then he said to throw at the 20's and see where my hand finished in regards to the string line.
He said make sure that your hand finishes no further left than the string, this will keep you out of the 5's.

Hope it helps you like it did me all those years ago. I still remember this even today when I start hitting 5's.

Good tip Jimbo, I think Taylor did that too so must work!

just keep at the practice and it will come im sure....im still waiting myself loll

Now you’ve moved up to super league you naturally want to prove yourself, to play as you know you can., to be at you best. So maybe your putting a little too much pressure on yourself? You were probably nervous when you first started playing all those years ago for your local pub, but, you gained experience of match play, learned to relax, and eventually advanced to super league. Likewise, with experience at playing at super league level you will learn to relax again and, who knows, maybe one day play for your county, or even your country? Enjoy your new found darting status …..and good luck!

George told me and its working to start throwing at the double 20's and forget the triple 20's for awhile. Its working.
