Newbie question - Practice!!!!!!
Hi everyone,
My wonderful wife recently bought me a dartboard which i am eternally grateful for and i am loving playing. I have been playing for about 6 weeks now. I know this is not very long to play but i have a question regarding practice.
I know the more you practice the better you can become but i am really quite restricted with the amount of practice i can get in a week. I work very long days and am out of the house for 14 hours. Practice during the week is just not feasible.
I do get to play about 3 - 5 hours across the weekend.
So my question is this. If i can only really practice at the weekends am i kidding myself that i will improve much? I am never expecting to go pro but i would like to improve on my current performance. Do you think daily practice is a must or can you achieve progression with weekend only practice?
Thanks everyone. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Re: Newbie question - Practice!!!!!!
Cheers guys,
Well i usually warm up with round the clock singles, doubles and trebles.
Then i just go to town on whatever my weakness was the last time i played anyone. Doubles is a major focus as they are a real problem for me.
I play games such as bobs 27's. Just trying to keep it fun really.
Any further suggestions for meaningful practice?

Re: Newbie question - Practice!!!!!!
My theory on practice is simple, scoring all the way.
Reason being if you can't score you won't get a chance at a double and they will take care of themselves

Re: Newbie question - Practice!!!!!!
Yep you have a point.
Although the most frustrating thing was getting to a double 6 darts before my father in law and not being able to hit it!!! He beat me every time. Couldnt score high but could check out a lot faster than me.
Thats when i decided i needed practice on the doubles ha ha.
I guess it all needs work so a variety will make you a better all round player.

Re: Newbie question - Practice!!!!!!
Only my opinion but the best practice on doubles is against someone when it kind of matters. If you can't score you wont get that practice
