Hello there, I am a darts addict and perpetual self-improver. If you have read my blog on microstakes poker (http://microdonkey.blogspot.co.uk/) then you will know that I analyse everything to the Nth degree and become totally absorbed in my pursuits and in the pursuit of excellence itself. I have loved darts since I was a young boy and I play with the determination and concentration of Phil Taylor but sadly throw with the accuracy and consistency of an angry monkey throwing poo. I have played for years and practice darts relentlessly so you would expect a reasonable level of competency but here is the thing: a decent pub darts player should average around 51 point per visit and I am not even close to this. On my best day with everything working I can just about touch this standard for one leg, but mostly I average only slightly better than pure fluke which would equate to around 32 points per visit!
I am therefore on a self-improvement mission to get to the magic 51 average every time I play and I have already begun on that journey with a complete overhaul of my oche position, stance and aiming of the dart. I am using a custom practice routine which is finally making a positive difference to my throw and I hope to achieve my goal within the next 12 months. I will post thoughts and musings, competitive match reports, practice milestones and problems as well as the odd comment on professional matches. Game on:)
