How To Improve Your Darts Practice 

Master stroke putting Andy and Matt together on RU-vid, decades of experience and knowledge between them, loving these videos and looking forward to more

Looking forward to the rest of this series 👌

Cracking video again. A few bits I've heard before, but the rest is a little new, can't wait to implement it into my practice routine 👍🏼🎯

Really enjoy the information and expertise 👍

I like the term I used in my PMVA (NHS restraint training) course. "Practice makes permanent". I think it's relevant here, also.

Great video guys and the lighting was soooooo much better, I've been playing darts for at least ten years and still haven't progressed passed a steady 40 AVG can't wait to see more of those practise games

Great stuff guys.

I like this, sometimes when we practice we get caught throwing aimlessly. I still do sometimes. A game i made up is pretending I'm in a match and start off with 170 in 12 darts to ease in for the first leg, then 2 x 121 in 9 darts, 2 x 170 in 9 darts, then same again but reduce to 6 and finally end on needing to check out in 3 darts. So builds the intensity. Sometimes if i go out in 3 darts for 121 I'll give myself a life haha. Usually need them if you get to 170 in 3 lol.

Great video, I've sort of identified the main points of this recently myself. I've been a decent pub player for years but only recently got a board up in my own house. Started playing more regular and found my form just dropped like a stone. Now realised it was aimless practice often not in the same conditions, just playing about basically. I'm now trying a more focussed approach, so this week I'm working on my aim point and accuracy so i can repeat the habit of picking a target and delivering the dart consistently. Little warmup, 30 mins working on aiming, couple of legs of 501 at the end. Simple but find I'm enjoying it more

Bloody hell u had to dig me out haha 😂 quality again lads

Current practice: Round the world to get loose - if you miss multiple darts in a turn, start back at 1. “Cricket Count up” type game for some big # + treble focus - 20-15+ bull, must get 3+ “marks” per turn or go back to the previous number. If you “fall” past 20 you lose. “33% type game” - 20-1 on doubles, even numbers only. 3 darts at a double, if you miss, go back a number. If you hit multiple doubles, you lock in a new “floor”. If I complete those quickly enough I reward myself with best of 5, 501 matches against the computer. Difficulty is set with their avg = to my first 9 but I get the darts to start. If I have bonus time and know I shouldn’t just do 501 games, I’ll play 121 for outs practice. Also of course # of misses, marks and darts to get a “floor” respectively all can be tweaked for difficulty. I’ll change up soon enough I’m sure when I get bored but the routine will usually have similar elements.

Great videos make me like mission darts will definitely be buying some

Hi thanks for this guys, I struggle to transfer in practice to match situations, question though how do you mentally prepare for match and get mentally tougher going forward? Cheers

I find it hard to get off the board both during a food spell or a bad. I regularly throw from about 8pm to 2, 3 or sometimes 4 am. Exhaustion and reminder of work in the morning forces me to stop. I find even a stop of less than a minute can stop bad spells. I'd like to throw everyday but after 6 hours or so the day before, I don't want to.

A great practice game that made me play so much better in league matches was this: 121 in 9 darts. Always start on the number you ended on the next time you play. If you fail a number, you don't go back. This game is like a life time challenge. When you reach numbers that are difficult for you, the double chances can be pretty rare, and that is exactly what helped me get better. I got a similar feeling like in a league match because I really wanted to hit the double to reach the next score so I learned to focus and throw proper darts. I have now reached 386 which is crazy difficult for me to beat so I don't play it that much anymore. Btw if you play this you can't just throw darts at the board and then suddenly when you hit a 140 you tell yourself "ok I just started there". That's cheating.

I feel like every throw I do is completely different and I don't know how I do it

I am decent at darts as I’m natural at most sports HOWEVER, I want to improve. I hit a lot of 100’s and not enough 180’s - too many 45’s. How can I stop these and hit more trebles please? Do I pay a coach to review my throw or is it just practice? I practice a lot but don’t want to be practising a wrong technique. Thanks!

Hello, I just started Dart and I've been trying to play with my own efforts for about 4 months, I want to buy a good set and I like the MGV Exact and Aspire series. But I'm undecided about the weight, there are those who tell me to take a light 21g 22g. For those who say 23G would be more standard. What do you recommend the set 24G that I am currently using?

Is there a difference when tapered darts and bull nose darts enter the board as in the angle 🤔

With progression how do you know when to move in difficulty?

how do you do a proper warm up?

Make a video about mental side of the game witch is much important and nobody tell much about....

By heavy do you mean 26 grams?

I more or less, count the number of Throws. 300 a day for me.

I watched this and everything you said was wrong im doing 😂😂

can we hear more of Andy speak and not just Matt
