Practice games!
Anybody got any practice games that they use. Looking to keep practicing interesting rather than just chucking at the board for the sake of it? All about quality of practice over quantity!

Re: Practice games!
Have you tried the n01 scoring programme? It lets you play against the comp at differing levels. This is my main source for practice. I think Dicie had some good ones in another thread a while back, but me personally I prefer to play a game, and it keeps your averages so shows how well / crap you are playing.

Exactly what i have been doing mate! Bobs 27 was another one i used for finishing but it gets a bit monotonous after a while. A practise game involving combination finishes would be goodgazman wrote:Have you tried the n01 scoring programme? It lets you play against the comp at differing levels.

Re: Practice games!
Whilst ive really upped my scoring this year, been struggling big time with my doubles. Try to practice them but always get bored quickly and always fire back to scoring. Anybody know of any good practice games for doubles? Or any members share their routines?

Re: Practice games!
I don't practise doubles at all as I believe the best practise is in gameplay. The vast majority of darts we throw are at the twenty area so I feel that's the best way to practise. If we can't score we wont get a chance at a finish

Couldn't agree more, although when I'm practicing I just play from 501 straight down. With doubles they either go in or they don't on the night.M H wrote:I don't practise doubles at all as I believe the best practise is in gameplay.

Re: Practice games!
Being blunt mate I don't see the point as there's segments all over the board that serve the same purpose. Also bear in mind Bristow's a cash whore who will say anything for coin.
I only watched two minutes of the video but had enough at that point but the practice aid is a board not something stuck to one.

Re: Practice games!
What's the difference between a ring and a board segment mate? Single's are large, doubles are smaller and trebles are even smaller. I don't know how much this costs but you could replicate it with pins and elastic bands if you want to give it a go

One of the lads on our league team has a set. Personally I thought they were pretty good, helps with the grouping of your darts and puts a bit of fun into a practice routine.lyallers_YNWA wrote:Anyone tried those darts practice rings. Seems quite a new thing. Thinking about ordering them

One year I got a bike for my birthday. So I went peddling off down the road and knocked an old lady down.
'Can't you ring your bell?' She said. 'I can ring my bell,' I said 'But I can't ride my bike'
