Why is it that I can go from being "hot" to "cold" so quickly when playing darts. I know I'm fairly new to the sport having only played a year, but I would have figured that I would be able to enjoy some consistency by now.
There are some days when I can throw 3 darts at the board, and be totally surprised where each of them lands. Other days, I'll look at my target and all three will land within a centimetre of my choosen destination. Sometimes this happens to me over the course of a week and other times it will flip flop back and forth within the same game. What the heck is going on with my throw.
I have identified certain areas of my technique that I need to focus on when my shooting goes south but it doesn't always help me to get back on track. I notice quite often that the main contributor is my release. I find that I either let go too soon, or too late. I cannot seem to find my way back to something that is comfortable. I wish there was a practice activity that would help me fine-tune that particular aspect of my throw.
Anyway, this weekend is the start of Zones here in Calgary. It will be my first entry into zones, so we'll see how I do. I'll let you know how I've done, when they're over.
Just out of curiosity, has anyone ever heard of a game called killer (specifically for Darts of course)? I think I have most of the rules down, but since it was only explained to me once, I think I'm forgetting the finer details.
