Case Study: Iain Venn - Cornwall - England.

Stage 1 - Working through the Physical Aspects of playing Darts.

I have always been interested in playing darts but never got beyond throwing a few arrows on an evening at the pub; basically for a bit of fun.

After installing a new dartboard in the kitchen, it wasn't long before I was enjoying some relaxing time playing darts ( and enjoying the odd pint or two along the way ) I soon realised though that my scores were hugely varied and I couldn't seem to throw the dart exactly where I wanted too; I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong.

I decided it would be helpful to find out just how I should be throwing the dart properly and the Dart Masters Coaching Course has helped me understand the importance of holding the dart properly, maintaining a consistent throwing action and using the right eye to aim with! (It's different for everyone)

I have basically transformed my throwing from one of sheer luck to one that actually hits the target area properly and I now know and understand the crucial aspects to throwing darts properly.

When I first started the course, I developed a game to see how many doubles I could hit using one dart for each double; my first best scores were 2 out of 20.

Within just 4 weeks working through the Darts Masters Coaching Course, I can hit 8 doubles out of twenty ( going around the board and giving myself just a single dart to hit each double ) That improvement has been developed over 3 to 4 weeks, so I am really pleased with the improvements and cannot wait to get onto the second part of the course!

Stage 2 - Working with Visualisation

As I progress through the course, I am able to generally hit within 1cm of where I am aiming each time and when you are achieving this, the course encourages you to move onto the next stage - which is exciting and a bit daunting - all at the same time!

I have just begun this section of the course, which is completely new territory for me and I have to say a completely new way of learning.

Although ( because of work/family committments ) I have not been able to give this my complete 100% attention, it has already helped me visualise hitting higher scores.

During the course my average score has been 56 ( based on 90 dart throws ) and there was rarely anything over 100.

I have already started to see a healthy string of 140's and 180's within the first week and I know for sure that this section of the course is bearing some fruit already.

It is my hope that I can really dedicate some quality time to completely understand and employ the principals, because I realise it's critical to becoming a serious club player ( if that's what I ultimately choose to do - such is the ongoing committment! )

Latest Entry: 26th June 2008

Due to work/family commitments over the last 4 weeks, I have not been able to get my normal 1 hour a day practice in, which as I am sure you appreciate, has had a detrimental effect on my game. I am pleased to say though, over the last 3 days, I have been able to get some practice in and my main aim was to try the new darts test.

After 3 practices on the game, I stumped up the score you see below, which is a good start and a step back in the right direction!

Current Level:

Darts Test - 18

Round the Board Doubles with single Dart - 8

Average throw from 48 darts - 64
