Back to Basics
I imagine there has been a time when whatever you do, your throw is not right. You may look at the darts, the stance or even over analyse the throw.
If this is the case perhaps take a step back metaphorically. Just remember it wasn't that long ago the darts were going where you looked. Big finishes and 11 dart legs, so what has changed? Probably nothing. So how do you get this back on line.
Set your darts up with your standard fit, plan to have 15 minutes a day practice for a week. During these sessions concentrate on nothing more than style. Perhaps choose a segment to aim at but not as small as a double or treble. Next release the dart and switch your view to watching the flight of the dart. Concentrate on being relaxed and seeing the dart fly true. Again do not worry too much about the point of contact with the board. This session is more about rekindling a relaxed throwing style and seamless flight of the darts. A week of this will help you to rediscover your throw. Please give it a go.
