Okay guys, I've had a few days of individual practice. A couple days a week, I've been playing my dad, brother, or anyone else I could talk into a game. The last few times I'd had the board to myself, I'd just mindlessly thrown to the board hoping to improve my accuracy.
Today, I had my first deliberate practice session.
I did two rounds of around the board. I didn't keep a score, but I did shoot six darts at each number. I was working on both accuracy, and a new grip/throw. After watching some videos, I was definitely throwing wrong. The new grip seems to be working, as I was hitting with much more frequency, my misses weren't so bad (comparatively), and I was getting quite a few deflections. I even managed my first robin hood. I feel like that's telling me that this throwing motion and grip are much more repeatable.
I followed that with 10 rounds of T20-T19-T18 to work on improving my 01 scoring. I managed a 140 and a pair of 120's, but that could've been luck.
I went with 10 rounds at the bullseye, and out of 30 darts, I hit 3 doubles and 4 singles.
Thank I finished up with a game of baseball. I scored a couple of 5 run innings and ended up with 18, so I don't feel like I did so bad.
I was beginning to lost focus, so I called it a night.
Will this be okay until the Flight School emails begin to come? Is there anything obvious that I'm missing?
