What kind of time frame would you put on expectation for seeing improvement in a person’s dart game? And what measures would you use?

Caution: I steal every good idea I can find, so you may find your words showing up in Flight School somewhere, or in a book or something.

 

I started FS, practicing triples and DB. sometimes it took me two or more hours to finish. I tried to do this everyday. After about 3 months, I notice that I hit triples with much more frequently in matches and I have a lot more confidence in general. These numbers now take me about an hour or so.

 

In cricket matches, when I find that I’m missing — and waiting for my turn to throw — I think ” I hit these numbers everyday ” This really boosts my confidence, and it usually picks me up; there are a few guys on my team that say that they kill the board at home and choke in the bar. I find that the grouping and accuracy drills keep me focused and confident where ever I play. I still get nervous when I’m in a match, but when i put in my practice time, I feel prepared to play as best as I can.

 

The last few weeks, I started to include additional numbers : T20, D16, D20, D8, D10

 

After looking at my 01 wins and losses, I find that these are the numbers that I’m aiming for ( a lot of the time). I just started including these numbers, so I’ll post again after a few weeks.

 

I think that matches are the best way to measure progress.
