Any advice on how to stop completely losing your technique every time you start playing and going back to square one? For example on Saturday I played for a few hours and managed to get to the point where I was barely missing 20s at all. I played the next day and forgot how I was throwing, meaning I was back to hitting terrible throws like 26,11,7 etc
What helps me every now and again is breathing in through your nose out through your mouth. Do that a few times and it settles you down ever so slightly. Just enough to take the edge off.
Even in practice I sometimes think I can almost hit everything, minutes later I hardly hit the board. Are there techniques to get back on track better?
Relax your muscles. It’s hard to shake if you are relaxed, keep the grip loose, knees straight but not locked. Many nervous pros are now “throwing” phantom darts before throwing for real.

I second that.
One day I was throwing properly. Next day it was like I forgot how to throw
Thanks Wayne, I have a background of getting anxious in sports, but trying to get over this hurdle in darts.

Whats phantom darts?
@@685_DANG3Rxwatch van veen you will notice it straight away before big shots at double
@@685_DANG3Rx imaginary darts, dummy throws either at the oche or behind the other player as he throws.
@@biggeordie245 thanks
Every time I intend to play sober I feel too nervous amlnd can't relax in the warm up so resort to knocking the ale back
A have a stabbing type of throw action and can’t extend the arm which causes major inconsistencies any advice for this?
There both on nines
My leg starts t shake 🙈
Or you can do what 95% of pro dart players do 🍺
Mate I still do that and my hand still shakes like a leaf 🤣
