Balance problems

I have been without a computer for a while so have had to change my routine and not film practice sessions. This slight drift in focus has led to the inevitable tinkering with my stance and throw etc. This is a dangerous road to travel as many darters know it is easy to lose your feel for a good throw if you try and adjust too many variables at once. I have mostly been experimenting with my trailing foot position for three compelling reasons:

1. When I bring my trailing foot behind my front foot my head lines up more with my arm.
2. If I look in a mirror at this stance it looks more inline from dog arm elbow, to front elbow, to dart
3. John Lowe stood like this in his prime and had a fantastically smooth throw overall

The problem I am having with this method is that it is just not as stable as pushing the back foot out a little bit to form a more standard wider foot stance. In fact I can feel unbalanced with the John Lowe method depending on which shoes I am wearing and it can lead to a rocking a little bit as I throw the dart. Last night I went back to widening my stance on warm down and immediately felt more stable and balanced although an immediate return to a tight pain in my hips reminded me of another reason why the more in-line stance may be of long term benefit.

The other issue of balance I am having problems with is balance in terms of time management. I am struggling with long term health issues which drain my energy and an increasing need to simplify and re-prioritise everything I do in my life. Darts sessions have become shorter and slightly less frequent and since my laptop got sick (it is currently booted, but for how long I don't know!) I have been recording less stats and not playing vs the computer on dartscorer.  I am looking to buy a house at the moment though so things will settle down in a few months, when I will have the joy of setting up a permanent dartboard on the wall instead of using my dartmate!

My last batch of FTS statistics are as follows:

88,100,90,81,100 on 20s for 91.8% mean (a PB mean!)
90,67,81,76,90 on bull for 80.8% mean ( a new stat on bull shots for me and a lot of variance, so work to be done here)
