Hi Nutzers,
I have said many times that my Key Treble routine can be a great help to one's confidence and give you some 'life saving' scores and last night it proved itself again. During part of my prematch practice with other players I managed 3 x 171's during a 5 minute spell and naturally felt very confident going into my match even though the old back is playing up a bit. I started the first leg with a ton and finished on a 125 (25/T20/D20 Guests cannot see images in the messages. Please register at the forum by clicking here to see images. ) so all was looking good then my opponent who I'd never played before came back and levelled it with great scores. The next leg went well and I won hitting a 180 along the way but then deservedly he dug in and rattled off a great hat-trick leaving me 5-2 behind. Throughout though I was hammering the T20 & the T19 when either the T20 was blocked by the first 2 or 'evening' up the score.
Now as most would know faced with a player who's consistent and on a roll (and Guests cannot see images in the messages.

But again my confidence was still there and I then rattled off a hat-trick to bring the match even at 5-5. We were both loving the competitiveness and gave each other a respectful nod (no smiles Guests cannot see images in the messages.

The next leg went down to the double with me needing but missing a 149 out shot Guests cannot see images in the messages. Please register at the forum by clicking here to see images. having hit T20/T19 & wiring D16 to hit a S16 instead, left with 97 he finished with T19/D20.
The next leg he again played very well opening with a 180 followed by 140 etc (but again as throughout the whole match) I was able to keep in touch with last-dart T19's to give me a 97 or a 120 i(T20/T1/T19) but I remained confident and edged him out to win.
I then got my (mental) act together again winning the next leg by hitting a sweet 74 T18/D10 under pressure thus making the score 7-6 in my favour.
The last leg was a relentless cat and mouse affair but credit to him he reached a double first and took it out...... so a 7-7 draw no regrets though looking at the stats he'd hit 11 x 140's a 180 several tons although I'd managed to hit a tad more 100+'s including a max. This game however was really about keeping one's head and a positive attitude which we both managed to do.
It was probably the most enjoyable and mentally taxing game I'd played in a long time my Key Trebles practice routine definitely proved itself on this occasion rescuing me many times against such a formidable player and so overall it was happy days Guests cannot see images in the messages.
