Working out & darts: A warning!

Hi guys i just wanetd to give you an update i hadnt been able to earlier. Its about working out. I started working out again a while ago and all was well, it didnt affect my darts. I then upped the weight and intensity though and i'll be honest..................it destroyed my action. No joke, my form was shot to pieces for a week and it was like i had to re-learn how to throw all over again. Intense tricep and shoulder work is a MASSIVE no, no if you want to progress as a player. It makes sense darts is about muscle memory and any major working out changes the muscle, thus creating a need to re-create it again. Its like starting over each time. I have worked out that players would be much better working on leg, lower back and hip exercises to strengthen these areas as this is where alot of players develop problems.

Team lost 8-1

Hi Guys

The force that is Good Intent' rode out 8-1 winners as we barely won a leg.

In truth it was alwasy going to be a hard fixture. They'd already beaten 2 of my favourites to win the league this season, in Hoeford 'B' and the Seagull

pressure is on now though as we've lost our first 4 matches 7-2 8-1 5-4 8-1 and sit second from bottom again.

first loss of season: 2-1

Hi Guys

Lost first game of the season. I was on 2nd so no real warmup time.

i whitewashed the guy in first leg taking out d16.

I totally f'd up after that. i lost the 2nd leg having had 9 darts at the finish where i botched d20 and ended up missing 9 darts at d10 anf he hit d20 to level.

in the decider i won the bull and despite him hitting a 121 i took the lead and again blew d20. ending up on d5 which i missed 9 dartd at & he took out d5 to win 2-1.

overall it was a match i should have won 2-0. inexplicably i was rushing my darts and didnt hit over 80 despite alot of 60+

Current League Table: 11/5/15

Our current league table:

4th game of season: Away to Good Intent

Hi Guys

sorry havent posted for abit. Theres been a gap in the season.

We are away to the Good Intent tonight. They are new to the league & sitting 3rd having won 2 of 3.

Third match of season: team lost 4-5 however i maintained unbeaten run

Hi guys

my unbeaten run continued as we played at home to 'the bird in hand'.

I took the first leg hitting a few 60+ &  a 100 before hitting D1 having led the leg. The next leg i fell behind to a 138 start to claw back and take out D5 and win 2-0.

the win takes me to 3 in 3 with 6 legs won and none lost.

it was not a good performance by me though as i just didnt feel it. That said i weht on over 3 hours after arriving and it was a long night that ended at gone midnight.

Unfortunately the team lost 4-5 in a decider at 23:30!
