im pretty sure it was a piece of cotton tied to the twenty down to the three. i dont know if i dreamt this or not but i tried it on my practice board and hit 2 180s in twenty sets but hitting 60s with every set

Blind darts perhaps?

Or possibly using a piece of string hanging down from the 20 bed down through the bullseye and using that as a target to aim for to help getting a straight throw? We used to do this years ago as one of our after matches games and see who could break the string first lol

Ah ok I got you. Yeah Iv'e heard of this and have tried it pinning string straight through the centre. Just to try it out. Never tried it again is I didn't find it did anything... Maybe I never gave it a chance?

I think it's similar to the Bristow practice rings as it gives you something to focus on in order to get a straight throw, but it would work out a lot cheaper as most people have some string or cotton lying around the house that they could use.

Yeah I have heard Taylor did something similar and I think he even drew a line right down the wall and to the oche but never tried it myself.
