Darts Practice Routines for beginners
มุมมอง 23K8 หลายเดือนก่อน
The most asked question Cali gets at tournaments is what are your practice routines. While she doesn't go into her own routine too much, she does give a few games to try out in your practice room, especially if you are new to darts. Starting off with a super difficult practice routine is probably only going to get you frustrated and discouraged... which is the last thing she wants!!! This is wh...

    I am new to darts. So I’m watching videos to get caught up on rules, etiquette, etc. Question: Why am I noticing a lot of players trying to his 19 very early. Is this to bring their score to an even number?

    • @GarageDarts
      @GarageDarts 6 วันที่ผ่านมา

      In the beginning stages of an 01 game, 19s are uusually used if the triple or "treble" is blocked by another dart. Since 19s are the next highest number, its a good target to go for. Towards the end of the game, it definitely is used to set up an outshot. Thanks for the question!

    Also, in this day and age,a lot of scoring apps are available. Dartsmind, dartcounter, etc. Some of them have AI cosring. So if you have a good phone, it will be able to use the camera to calculate the score for you. Therefore, in this day and age, the mental maths is not an excuse anymore for pub players.

    One thing I practise a lot is my walk up and stance but not throwing any darts. I do this around a dozen times, walk up, get feet set, Look at board lean forward Bring arm up Repeat. Not sure why but this has really increased my confidence as I feel my body is ready without thinking and I can concentrate on my game instead of setup.

    Starting at target #20 is a strategy for those that can hit the intended target. For the basic beginners that don't want to add any math to it: you can eliminate the point system and just play cricket to close out the numbers 20 thru 15. Another basic beginner strategy is to aim for the bullseye and collect any close outs in your attempts to the bullseye. It also helps your aim and focus on a singular point. Always a good idea to use good darts and stick to what works for you. Some cheap darts are so bad that they mess up your ability to be consistent with each throw. With all that said... there is no need to buy expensive products just to play a game of darts for fun.
