How long does it take you to get into your rhythm?

    It normally takes me about 10 minutes of throwing to get warmed up and for my scoring to get up to my level. I can't go stright in and start hitting decent scores straight away for some reason! So, how long does it take you lads or ladies to get warmed up and start hitting what you think you should be hitting or getting up near your normal standard?

    When I'm throwing well, usually three or four legs, then I'll usually throw about 5 or 6 good legs, then it all goes pear shaped

    Funny that

    Usually takes me about 20 minutes or so and even then it might not come at all. I have to throw at the doubles for a bit or I wont hit a thing.

    Have hardly thrown a dart in about 2 weeks now because of my new job, really have to start practicing again!


  • Registered Users Posts: 465 ✭✭greened


    dont get much practive time any more so I usally only take about 9 darts as a warm up. Have got used to that.

    Usually about 3 or 4 legs for me, have not been playing as mush as I would like recently so it is taking a little longer to get my throw going :-(


  • Registered Users Posts: 159 ✭✭Jay.cymru


    used to play 4 legs then id be grand but the last few weeks i can barely throw them straight except for the odd day here and there, head melted :D:mad::D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 831 ✭✭✭Daffy501


    Can usually get up to a decent level of play within 20/30 mins but it takes a couple of legs in a match to get going fully , need the adrenaline :D:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 79 ✭✭CORRO77


    just a few throws then you know weather your going to have a good one or not .sometimes its just the 5 or 6 throws before my game depending on where we are playing .If it takes some people so long to warm up you could be worn out by the time you start.

    I thought you played well down the Club!:)


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,153 ✭✭✭Rented Mule


    I haven't played well in a very long time. I was a much better dart thrower before I moved here. Family and work responsibilities have really taken its toll on my game over the years.


  • Registered Users Posts: 773 ✭✭✭D_murph


    When I'm playing well, I can threaten the treble 20 within 4-5 visits to the board from cold.

    When I'm not, I can be crap all day/night :rolleyes:
