Subject: What the Hell's going on with me!! Thu Feb 21, 2013 2:13 am
Last week I took out 139 in 01 this week I lost to a guy I would normally beat 95% of the time. My scoring was the worst of my darting career period. My darts found the trip 1's and 5's all during the leg. Except for an 81 the rest where below 30- Yes I said 30 I should have switched to 19's but nooooooooooo I had to hit those ones or fives. I have been having troubles with 20's now for awhile. So I'm gonna pound the 20's in practice until my arm falls off. Really aggravated with me self.

If i'm finding the T1's or T5's I try not to beat myself up. After all your not that far away from the target, its not like your dropping into 18's and 12's.
I would try not to think about struggling with the 20'sand you'll be back in the Treble you want before you know it. Everyone can have an off day, even the best have bad days!

its a matter of practice and then practice some more- it will iron out

Sounds like a classic case of the darts being too heavy.

JD, why would darts being too heavy result in this? I am asking as I have the same problem

I was just joking with Saber. Weight really doesn't have much to do with anything really. Look at Phil. He scored a 108 average tonight tossing a dart that weighs in the 28 gram range. Dennis Priestley used to post up 100+ averages with a dart in the 16 gram range. It all depends on what feels best for you.

Cheers for the reply JD, I have finally found a dart I am comfy with so glad I don't need to consider changing them.

A bunch of us would probably like to see your setup. We have a section to post our darts if you haven't seen it yet...
Cheers JD, I will take a pic when I get home tonight and post it. I have 24g Winmau Simon Whitlock barrels, Unicorn Nylon stems and punched Ruthless teardrop flights
