My Return

Morning all.

After a long lay off due to personal issues I am officially back and looking forward to 2012. Now I have been throwing again for about a month and am getting a little bit of form back.

On the 17th December I am entering a local open to see what I need to improve on before I hit 2012 running.

I will keep you updated

See you at the Oche!

Hard Graft Begins

OK so I have got some my form back now and am playing some nice darts.

Now I need to push forward and get my career going so the plan is simple. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE.

Im going to aim to do 3-4 hours per day every day. i want to work on my scoring and finishing as well as match practice.

My routine at home will be...

Session 1

1. Round the board on doubles
2. Finishes 50-100
3. 2 darts at treble 20 1 dart at a double (30 mins of this see what number I get to)
4. Finishes 100-120
5. 1 Game of 501 best of 11 against comp level 7

Session 2

1. 30 mins throwing at treble 20
2. 1000 points on 20s (if i hit a single 5 or 1 then my score goes to zero)
3. 30 mins of throwing two darts at 20 then my last dart at 19. (cover practice)
4. 1 Game of 701 best of 11 against comp level 7

Both sessions will start with a 15 min warm up.

I feel this will really improve my form and on top of this I will be playing league darts on a wednesday and superleague darts on a sunday on those days i will do a single session incorperating both scoring and finishing,..

Match Day Session.

1. Round the board on doubles
2. Finishes 60-120
3. 30 Mins throwing at treble twenty with my last dart at 19
4. 1 game of 501 best of 11 against level 7 comp.

I will keep you all updated to how this goes. This will start tommorrow and I will document my progress.

See you at the Oche!

Its finally over.

I am so happy at the moment its untrue.

Yesterday was actually the Winmau Professional County Playoffs not the Masters Playoffs.

I got there and there was a fantastic field most notable was Tony "The Lion" Randle. I started practicing and everything was flying in I was feeling confident and comfortable.

In my first game I met Neil Clarke and we had a great game I Hit a nice 128 to take the first and he took the 2nd with a nice 84 out I then took the next two legs to progress into the 2nd Round. I was so happy it was untrue My form was back and I was winning in a county competition.

In the 2nd round I met Paul Ramsden who was on fire. I gave him a decent game and managed to pinch a leg but his scoring was unbelievable hitting 3 180's and a 174 aswell as more 140s than i could count over the 4 legs we played he won 3-1 but I was so happy I was playing well.

Maybe next year the Lakeside will beckon my name

Well Well Well

Could it be. I practiced today with the new set up and oh my god talk about complete change. I was Scoring well and Finishing well. Although Im only back to around 75% of what i know i can produce it still feels amazing.

Hit a few 180s and this cracker of a 108 with my opponent sitting on tops...

I have the Winmau World Masters County Playoffs tommorrow lets hope i throw as well then..

Could It be

Ok I fiddled about with my set up yesterday and have reverted back to my 26g darts that i first used. I did this to try and break the slump.

Well I threw today and they were flying straighter and better than my darts have been for a while. My scoring was better and i had some cracking finishes. I have locked all my other darts away and am going to play through this slump (which I hope is nearly over).

Ill post a pic of my new setup later.

See you at the Oche!
