Improve your game with the pro's
Bob Anderson (Bob’s 27) - www.bobanderson180.co.uk
“It was just a simple concept, that I thought of in the mid 1970s. Why 27 ? Because it gave you 5 throws at doubles, and you had to hit at least one to progress” Bob recently informed us when we asked him about his popular drill, he then went on to say “I still use this, and also teach it to the dart players who come to me for coaching”.
Rules for Bob’s 27
Your starting score is 27, you throw 3 consecutive darts at each double in ascending order, starting with Double 1 round to the bull.
After each turn you add the value of your score to your total, so after the first throw if you hit the Double 1 once you would add 2 to 27 and your new total would be 29. If you missed the Double 1 with all three darts, you subtract the value of the double from your score, so your score would be 25.
This continues for each subsequent double up to the bull, each turn adding on your score or subtracting the value of the double missed.
If you running total score reaches 0, you start again. The highest score you can achieve is 1437

Re: Improve your game with the pro's
Never came across this one before, I'll give it a try at some stage. Am finding myself hitting T19 more regularly now when switching due to a blocked T20 bed.Dicie wrote:Dennis Priestley

If first dart is high in the bed, I found myself clipping the flight with my 2nd dart.Dicie wrote:D & B wrote:Never came across this one before, I'll give it a try at some stage. Am finding myself hitting T19 more regularly now when switching due to a blocked T20 bed.Dicie wrote:Dennis Priestley

Re: Improve your game with the pro's
Never heard of the Priestly one myself before, will give it a bash in practice later myself and have a go at Bobs27 too.
Think we should all post our scores and get a leaderboard up, will give us some sort of motivation to do a bit of practice
