We should pay attention to quality when practicing darts. It not only depends on the time and the quantity, but also pays attention to the frequency of practice. Here are some practice methods of professional darts athletes for your reference.

1. Peter Iverson’s method

Double zone is the key to win. It's pointless to get high scores if you can’t throw the double zone. So it should focus on the double area. Start with D1, turn around until the red heart. Only throw one dart in each double zone. Hit D1, D2, D3 in the first round. If only hit D1, the next round will hit D2, D3, D4; if haven’t hit that three areas, you will have to hit them again. If it’s time to hit the red heart, and the remaining double zone is less than 3, you can use the excess dart to hit T10 to T20. After the above practices have been completed, he will practice double area again. And this time it requires that 2 darts are needed to hit the same double zone in a round of 3 darts, from D1 to D20. The above exercises will take 90-120 minutes.

 

 

The next stage is the training of the 3 darts end, from 2 to 100. After the above 3 hours of training, he will hang the narrow ring practice plate (the interval between double area and triple area is 5 millimeters; the regular dish is 8 millimeters; double red heart diameter is the half of the regular dish) and continue to challenge himself.

 

2. Denis Priestley's method 

First, hit the red heart zone to relax and stretch muscles, especially by twisting to relax the muscles of the neck. Then throwing three triple area of 20. He thinks a good practice method is to practice the 3 darts end of 61 to more than 100 points. With this exercise, you can master combinations of points, because you don't guarantee that you can always hit what you want to. This method of training allows you to keep consistency and a good sense of rhythm in all situations and set aside double areas that you wish for.

 

3. Phil Taylor's method 

First, it’s the practice of scoring. The goal is to get 50 points: 1 point for 100; 2 points for 140; and 3 points for 180. Then practice the 3 dart end, which generally starts from 81 to 131 points. It takes more than 2 hours a day to practice.
