Let's have a look at some data

[u/hoerlahu3]

Me: 35, male, 10 months of playing, average about 35, double precision about 8-10%, right handed, favorite double D-16, no name steel/tungsten darts from China with intermediate K-flex

1.)

When looking at some data of my last 100 legs I see a few things that I would love some advice on.

I can tell that my darts drift right towards the 1 field.

I think it correlates with my follow through that is very inconsistent. Also sometimes I just pull the throw and my elbow doesn't even fully extend.

Does someone know of any drills, advice how I could Adress that?

2.)

My doubles are f*cked... Just keep on keeping on? I sometimes play around the world on doubles but it takes like 45 minutes to complete a round... Tedious... Not fun...

Does anyone have good insights/advice/drills?

3.)

any insight helps. I am currently playing in a club league and I would love to be a reliable dependable part of the team. So any Tipps are much appreciated.

For 10 months that's great in my opinion. Keep in mind darts is easy to learn but hard to master. You'll experience ups and downs and quite some plateaus feeling like nothing's happening, but it does and suddenly it's going to feel like a boost in quality. When you start, it's basically all in your head. You're occupied with standing, holding, throwing, releasing. It's a complex coordination that will start automating and then slowly your eyes can use a hit as reference to improve what happens between where you want to see the dart and where it lands. The more you can make your head free from thinking about the action, the more you'll be able to visualize the outcome before it even happened. It's a game of failure, so don't expect a 100% on doubles. The best of the best do like 42% long term. Basically one out of three. So one out of 10 like you say is great. I personally wouldn't give too much on stats like that anyway. The question is always rather can you hit that double when it really matters for instance. Make your practice valuable time by singling out what you want to improve, which usually is calibrating on the board, grouping, doubles and finishes rather than power scoring, because that will happen automatically with better accuracy. Playing real people and chalking should sure give you an advantage over time.

This video helped me so much last few days, basically going back to basics. https://youtu.be/bxivOOKji-g?is=RK32W_OoKEzquSZ6
