Practicing Doubles

I suggest you first choose a double lets say 16 and then set a time to score as many of the doubles as you can within the time. 10 – 15 min on a practice session should help you improve your chances when it comes to a match. If you can hit any double within two darts you are at a good standard.

Another way of helping you finishing is to play a game where you have to hit a number or combination of numbers before the double. An example of this could be 33. Hit number 1 then double 16 once you hit it more the number up to 35 and practice all the finishes. This will improve your ability to hit all sectors of the board as well as doubles.

Another good game for practice is called 27.

27 is the number of points you begin with. Your first three darts are for double one, and so on until twenty and then bull. For each hit you get the value of the double hit (three double fours would score 24). If you miss three darts at a double you lose the value of that double. If your score reaches zero you lose. A good score is 400, and a very good score is 600.
Once again, keep a record of your scores and your personal best.
