Why is it we can always play well with new darts ? Some sets you can pick up and really believe your dreams have come true , youve found the set you were looking for , this week the Red Lion Next week the PDC ! Then after a week or so normal service is resumed lol

It's called the Law of Sod - I'm guessing the same will happen to me with the Winstanley's. Yesterday's practise was ok but nothing too special, but I'm going to persevere this week just to see.

I reckon they put a magic coating on every new set , makes you play brilliant for a week then wears off ,

I get the same affect all the time ;)

you ALWAYS playin with new darts

I know, its the best way as it makes me play better!


only kidding!

Just maybe your overdoing the practice ?

I used to practice near 3 hrs a day then i remember going away for a week

so with no practice at all and coming back to Scotland here and when out following night
playing darts i was hitting everything big scores of 180 and 140s and such and finishes of over a ton-plus
So its not easy to say how form turns back off ..

It is just form has left you for now and shall return if you are practicing a lot then id say
take your foot of the gas a bit and cut the practice down ? worth a try and see what happens ..

Good point Stevie!

Not sure if it's honeymoon or not with the Winstanley's but practise was only ok again today even though I hit another couple of 180's with them. Anyway I left it for a while and for the last hour or so have been using the tried and trusted Phase II's - the practise went really well and I hit another 3 180's. Anyway, will try with the Deano's again tomorrow as I really want them to work - maybe I'm just trying too hard to make them work.

Thats how it sounds Mike, but maybe give them a bit longer to be sure.

I reckon you concentrate more when you are throwing someone else's darts or in the case of new darts....you WANT them to be better too
