Darts Practice Routines for beginners
Просмотров 18 тыс.7 месяцев назад
The most asked question Cali gets at tournaments is what are your practice routines. While she doesn't go into her own routine too much, she does give a few games to try out in your practice room, especially if you are new to darts. Starting off with a super difficult practice routine is probably only going to get you frustrated and discouraged... which is the last thing she wants!!! This is wh...

    One thing I practise a lot is my walk up and stance but not throwing any darts. I do this around a dozen times, walk up, get feet set, Look at board lean forward Bring arm up Repeat. Not sure why but this has really increased my confidence as I feel my body is ready without thinking and I can concentrate on my game instead of setup.

There's nothing better than seeing your improvement to motivate you further.

    Starting at target #20 is a strategy for those that can hit the intended target. For the basic beginners that don't want to add any math to it: you can eliminate the point system and just play cricket to close out the numbers 20 thru 15. Another basic beginner strategy is to aim for the bullseye and collect any close outs in your attempts to the bullseye. It also helps your aim and focus on a singular point. Always a good idea to use good darts and stick to what works for you. Some cheap darts are so bad that they mess up your ability to be consistent with each throw. With all that said... there is no need to buy expensive products just to play a game of darts for fun.

    • @GarageDarts
      @GarageDarts 7 месяцев назад

      You would have to gain points on numbers your opponent hasnt closed yet. If you get more points than your opponent (before they close all the numbers) then you win. The winner has to have the point lead, as well as all numbers closed. Hope that clears up any confusion. Thanks for your question!

      Do you mean - if you close each number, can you lose on points? Yes. So if you had all numbers closed, but were down on points, then your opponent would just need to close everything to win. However, you could score points on numbers they don't have closed, to get the points you need to have the higher total. I hope this makes sense!!

    Probably the very best guide out there to understand cricket. But just to clarify, say Phil Taylor plays cricket and scores T20, T19, T18 on his first 3 throws... does that lock out the opponent from scoring on those numbers forcing them to throw at 17 or 16? And if they do that, Phil would simply have a run at 20s for a long as he wants until his opponent tries to close it out?

    • @GarageDarts
      @GarageDarts 9 месяцев назад

      Yes, the opponent would have to get as many 17s as possible and hope Phil has a miss here or there that he can capitalize on and get back into the game. Whether its cricket or 01, there is not much you can do if your opponent throws perfect darts!! Right? Thanks for the comment, and thank you for the thumbs up! 😁

    I may have missed it. But let’s say you have X on 20. Then your next throw is a double 20. Is that a circle + 20 or just a circle?

    • @GarageDarts
      @GarageDarts 9 месяцев назад

      This depends on what your opponent has. If your opponent hasn’t closed the 20's yet, then the double would count as 2 20's - one for the circle and 20 points for the second. However, if your opponent has 3 20's already, then only one would count, to close the number. Now, any dart that hits a 20 for the remainder of this game does not count for either player. I think I will do another cricket video, to explain this scenerio better, since many people have similar confusion! Thanks for the question!
