Sounds helpful except for the tip on throwing from various distances. Seems counter-productive to practice release points and arc angles other than what you use at the oche.
2:30 How does moving away from the oche simulate ANY situation during a game of darts. Doesn't moving away from the oche cause a "disruption" in your muscle memory, which is a huge part of this game. Im sorry but that's a LOT confiding!!!😳👍🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
mines is 56 then its 75, then 60, back to 56 then 43. So inconsistent its driving me up the wall. Those were the averages I hit last night in an ADC event. Only won 2 games (the 43 and 60) I lost the 75 one.
Inconsistency can be so frustrating, especially when you know your potential is higher! 🎯 The good news is, the fact that you're hitting those higher averages like 75 means the skill is there-it’s just about finding stability. Here are a few quick tips: Focus on Rhythm: Sometimes inconsistency comes from rushing or overthinking. Stick to a consistent pre-throw routine to calm the nerves and find your rhythm. Analyze Patterns: Were you more focused or relaxed during the higher averages? Did something distract you in the lower ones? Identifying triggers can help maintain your highs. Practice Under Pressure: Simulate event conditions in practice, so you're more comfortable when the heat is on. Winning with a 43 but losing with a 75 shows that darts can be as much about timing and the opponent as it is about your scores. Keep grinding-it’s all part of the journey to finding your consistency!
@DartsDecoded I'm not sure where it comes from, sometimes as soon as I pick up the dart I know I'm gonna hit my intended target and other times I know something just feels off. It can literally change from visit to visit. I won a leg checking out 260 in 5 darts (180+80) by the time the next leg started I was struggling to find a big treble. Highest I scored that leg was 85.
I think hand-eye coordination-training e.g. practice doubles from different distances, throwing with your left hand etc. are good training methods. Finaly if your hand-eye-coordination is good you will hit your aim from any position and any distance.
We admit that the point about throwing different discs was not actually intended in this way. However, the hand-eye coordination that you mention is an exciting point in this regard. Despite everything, we would not advise this. But the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
The second tip is misleading...if you train on the doubles and if you average below 50 you never get a chance to takeout a double so all that time and effort practising your doubles maybe for nothing.
From our experience, we can say that matches that take place at a lower level are decided on the doubles. There are more players who play below 55 average than above. Conversely, this means that there are more matches at a lower level than at a high level and these are often decided on the doubles. Everyone knows from tournaments that certain matches drag on so long because the players are fighting a battle on the doubles. So it can only be a good thing if you practise doubles a lot and train against the fear.

You're absolutely right and it shouldn't be in the video. It was due to a miscommunication. We apologize for that🙏
That first tip was especially good! I find that I overthink far too much when I play games.

Unfortunately, we made a mistake in our communication. This is of course not correct. Sorry for that!
Practice doubles from different distances?
That has got to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard
You're right, of course. We made a communication error and that's not how it should be shown in the video. Sorry for that! 🙏
John lowe and Dennis Priestley used to think about every shot they threw .and countless other professionals do the same.
You need a rhythm doh

After a while it should be less about thinking and more about feeling.
