Just a man going about his craft. He never gets too high or too low. That's what I always tried to do for as long as I've ever played. Emotions can really disturb your accuracy and energy. Barney's a very wise and approachable pro. He's always happy to share his knowledge with anyone.
GOOSEBUMPS, when he said " You have to stay positive, your time will come. " Been thinking about it everytime I lose a match and it makes you feel good. Thanks RvB ! Enjoy your retirement from the game. #HallOfFamer #RvB
Let me tell you, Barney is a true student of the game, dispensing sage advice to any newcomer. That is why he is one of my favorite darts players of all time (alongside Lewis, Taylor, van Gerwen and Price).
Very interesting tips from Barney. Some of them I never heard of. Time to try these and getting better. Thank You Eye Of The Tiger. Now defend the premier league titel :)
+Nicolas Kern 15 is a big treble because you might need it to set yourself up for a shot at a double. Say you're at 95 or 85 and two darts left you might want to set yourself up for a shot at bull or tops ;)
This is the man who inspired me to play Darts of Tournament level. Thank you Mr van Barneveld. Today i heard of your covid infection. I pray to God that you will get an fast recovery.
Always rings true stay confident even after a loss or two and your good days shall come .practice especially them doubles and i go around from dble 1 to 20 and several bullseyes to finish ..i feel scoring shall come if your playing fine it shall come naturally ..Doubles is no 1 .
I got me a Giggle n Go magnetic dart board archery on the other side and I love trying to aim for bulls eye. I favor the regular dart side. I come close sometimes but I once almost hit it right on. I have magnetic kind because I'm in apartment and they worry about the walls and won't hang the wall protection barrier for me.
Find an old door that you can fix a dartboard to and lean it against the wall,it offers a lot of protection and can be moved from room to room if required.
The way I would practice sometimes is I would go through all the finishes in 6 darts or less starting on 170 in 6 darts then when I got the 170 I would go for 167 then 164 etc. If i didn't get one in 6 darts I would go for it again starting with 6 darts. I found it really good for my maths too. If I missed anything I was aiming for, whatever I hit, I knew instantly what I would need to go for just from doing this every few days.
Good advice. U could even start at say 140 and work up. Il give it a go. Thanks. I usually go round board in singles doubles then trebles and just do that for half hour or so or sometimes just concentrate on doubles. My best is 52 darts from 1-20 then 50. Not great but I'm proud of it
I never counted how many darts that would take me but 52 sounds a very respectable amount to do it in. I used to practise like that just going for the doubles but it would get a bit boring. At least my way, each miss would change the way you will try to finish whatever checkout you are on so it mixed it up. Also if I missed something and wouldn't be able to finish in six darts, I would still play as if I was going to leave myself the best possible score even though I wasn't going to go for it. And like I said, my maths got really good, as quick as most professionals from practising this way.
Incredible that he played his best darts ever last week, after over 20 years in the game and 5 wc titles. He played as well if not better than Taylor ever did. And he still lost to Shrek.
Actually IMO best practice would be to have 6 like darts a person throws for competition. Intentionally place one or 2 of the darts just outside or inside the double of choice. Then try to hit the double with the darts blocking. And especially with darts up near or above the double tops wire. Remember when a dart is near a needed doubles wire the actual target afforded a player is smaller. Hence a better dart will likely need to be thrown (less error needed). Lot of folks get down to double and what do we see. They get close to double with their first dart and then can struggle to pull off a good shot at double they need. Even doing this with double bullseye would be great practice. Putting a dart in the green bull and trying to hit the Red Bull. Changing one’s position on the line to throw a dart can be challenging. Practice in this area will sure help. Cheers. I use to play darts a lot. Still watch matches online.
I've hit a 180 only once. It seems like I have better accuracy over all if the first dart is more of a lob than the last two maybe using it as a guide. From what I see though is pro darts sink further into the board than my hardest throws. Should more power come from the elbow, the wrist or both?
Rob Robberson It varies by area. I, and most British, say treble, although here in Wales many say triple. I notice they say triple in Canada as well. It doesn't really matter, as the words mean the same thing.
edsloan he said that because if you miss it makes it much harderto close because u o ly have 9 thats prob why he hit them so well because if he didnt he knewwhat would happen
i end up getting bored with practise games , i sometimes go round the board hit evry double and evry treble once and bullseye . just to warm the arm up . but rest of time i play matches , i play against the app on my phone , first to 7 . it records the averages too , so can monitor improvement. its fun and challenging too , i go up a lvl evrytime i beat it .
Round the board on doubles is fine,I always like to have hit every double on the board before I play a tournament but round the board on trebles is a waste.I never need a treble 1 or 4 etc. better to practice your main trebles down to 10 hitting them at least twice with a single throw I also use this on doubles, 2 hits with one throw.This make you concentrate very hard on darts 1 and 2 and not just lobbing them and hoping.Its all about making you keep your concentration up.That is the hardest part of practice for me.
Its just called darts scoreboard , its free in playstore n might b f 4 android only not sure , its a gr8 app caters 4 players of all skill . On my lvl it get betweeso pretty hard , 4 me . I assume it goes into the 100's because im only lvl 13
I like the idea of the outshot practice, I think I'll have a try these days. It's kind of frustrating when I know and sometimes see that I have the gift of darts but also trying to get out of a slump. I had my 12 to 15 darts at my peak and now I struggle to stay below 24. There are these moments (combined with a "Russ Bray" app for that extra World Cup feeling) where I hit anything I like, even the small cracks on the board, it's just that I had that kind of moment throughout small local tournaments which were worth half of my monthly paycheck, and I really want it back - it's my game and I had given nicknames... Crazy times and I want more, I want it all! :D
can someone explain the practice game Ray was explaining in the beginning of the video? i just dont understand that practice method...thanks in advance
Basically you can pair up or do this alone. You start on 121, and have to check out 121 in 9 darts. If you do check out in nine, you would move to the next finish i.e. 122, and try to check that out in nine darts. You keep doing this and aim to reach 135, going through each checkout one by one. However if you fail any one of the checkouts in nine darts, you must restart at 121 and go through it all again. The idea is it gets you practicing hitting targets in all areas of the board, so you are good on areas which you don't normally aim for, so if need be then you can hit these, as Barney says you'll "cum/ come" all over the board
@@naomikoeman4092 You have 3 darts at the 20-15 segments and then the bull at the end. (so 3 darts at 20 segment, record score then move on to 19 segment and so on) Each teble is worth 3 points and each single is worth 1 point (example: 1 treble 20 and 2 single 20 = 5 points) Try to get to 35 points going from the 20 to 15 segments and finish on the bull. Hope this helps

I actually only believe in one finish, and that is 2
Me too. I love the mad hole
Don't mean to publicly brag but I once smashed out double one in only 27 darts
I love 1 and throwing 9 darts at it.
D13 out in 01. Once did 301 D in D out D13 out finish in 13 darts. On an Oct 31 Halloween.
Bro I just missed 30 darts in practice

Inspirational words from Barney
He
Love barney, one of those players with real merit and will always be a person of significance in darts
A really nice guy is Barny - fair fella
Didnt know his english is So well
[WG] xunit Well when you have to do english interviews for 20 years, you get gud :)
Unless you're Louis van Gaal
Rob Robberson true
not just interviews but touring with a lot of English speakers too.
Watch an English interview from him from 15 years ago, you'll notice he had a similair accent as Michael has now. Quite funny if you ask me
Very good advice, have a back up plan
Great tips from Barney, such a lovely throw too! :)

+TheWolverous title*
Tried the tip at 0:58, got kicked out the pub. Don't think this is helping or am I doing it wrong?
Barney Army! Useful tips. I think I will start with the 121 exercise.
I just don't agree with the 121 in 9 darts though, even with a partner. If it takes you 9 darts to finish 121 you're gonna get bummed
Michael Johnston you work your way upto 170 from 121 it’s good practice
It should be 121 with 6 darts not 9
Stay positive your time will come . Best advice in darts
This fella has the best throw in the history of the game, pure silk.
sorry, that title has went to Michael Smith
Never forget the count ted Hanky
....Anderson
Never forget Mensur Suljovic
Great vid, now I'm waiting for around the board in 60 seconds with van barneveld!
One of the most pleasing players to watch. His style is so smooth, but deadly!

At 0:0:58 Barney advised to come all over the board. I tried that but it didn't help my darts....
Great player, great tips!
40s 32s and 24s 😂 Barney one of the best D18 hitters 😂
I was thinking the same cross is the same loves a d18
Very humble person I want to be like him win lot of tournaments ❤
Such a likeable guy, thanks for the tips!
Thanks for the tips. I always end up on double one anyway...
This is a must watch for all darts players! Sound advice from Barney...
th-cam.com/video/8QlP9OfbsLU/w-d-xo.html
but I don't understand why he says the trebles from 20 to 15 are big trebles... in my opinion the only big trebles are from 20 to 17

When your life sucks, you can’t even do darts right.
Great tips especially the last one. I always say forget the last dart and next dart.

Goodbye Legend.
"stay positive" thats the biggest things with darts, very easy to get discouraged, but just gotta stick with it and believe you can!
Crazy this is a 9 year old comment and you are still posting now! 🎉

Class act all the way. Barney army.
I'm late to this video, but the best piece of advice is to stay positive. To enjoy the game, a person can't let negative thoughts in.
He's a bit like Ernie Els in golf. Big fella with a light touch. And a gentleman
How does his 15-bull game have a high score of 60 and not 63?? 9 points per number (3x3) x 7 numbers (including bull) is 63
9 mark maximum for 20/19/18/17/16/15=54 then there is a 6 mark maximum on bull, 54+6=60
Great advice
What's the difference between a tripple and a treble? Are they just synonyms or what?
Synonyms!
anita postzegel It's a treble though, people say triple by accident.

Beginner here. Playing English darts on a league. Does anybody have any advice for me?
Interesting hearing Barney say avoid double 18, I always thought that was his favourite double...?
edsloan back in the day it was. nowadays hes going for d20 and d16
edsloan Yeah he learned better, I guess. It just makes more sense, unless you're as solid as he used to be on 18s.

Barney has a unique composure as a player. That is what one should learn from him.
I dont understand why/how he went from 121bto 135.
