The drills
Pick what you want to get better at
Doubles – Bob's 27
Start on 27 and work through the doubles. Hits add, a full miss takes away – the classic finishing drill.
Finishing – Random Checkout
A random finish from 2 to 170, checked out on a double within 3, 6 or 9 darts – so you learn your outs under pressure.
Accuracy – Segment Training
Pick a target – T20, D16, the bull – and track your hit rate.
Coverage – Around the Clock & Round the World
Work round the board from 1 to 20 and the bull – great for finding your weak spots.
Scoring – Count Up & Shanghai
Count Up is 24 darts where every dart counts. In Shanghai, a single, double and treble in one turn wins on the spot.
