Try keeping your throwing elbow in a bowl of iced water for 2 minutes before you throw.
Sounds bizarre I know. But helped me.

That's 9 darts in the same area though which is a positive, at least you're not spreading them all over the board

True mate but it's a terrible score like. Need to get them in the 20s!

I'm doing better now, I find it much easier to keep straight when the first dart goes in the 20 as i can follow it up..
