Max double 9's... Bob's 29 complete!

Ok I hit 3 double 9's in a game of Bob's 29 today. I have been struggling with my doubles of late (or just not confident in them)... so I am getting ready for league where I expect to play more x01 this year and leave the cricket to the other guys on the team...

  

I followed that up with this

 nbsp;

I then hit 1 double 11 and then this!



I cruised into the finish... hitting one here and missing one there... finishing with a double bull in a sloppy set...



I finished with 227

  

Notice the game next to it I got fairly far as well...

Even if I don't hit another deadeye this year (that was a silly goal)... I am happy... I have hit now three, 9 counts... 1 a 180... and now 2 times I have hit 6 counts on doubles... and I am hitting 2 in the doubles and 2 into trips much more often... hitting a 7 count is no longer a rare occurance for me...

Team get to gether

4/5 of the team got together to play a bit... I played Jason 10 games and we split 5/5... he has gotten better... I had a lights out game against Ryan when we first got there and threw my first white horse trip 17, 16, 15...

I finished up the night playing some with Rob... and he was killing me. I came back and beat him the last two but he beat me 3 in a row before that... all games last night were cricket. I don't know why I couldn't get anybody to play x01

Ryan asked me to be captain. I think he lacks the desire to play... hopefully he will practice some because he can be really good and yesterday he wasn't throwing his normal way...

2nd lifetime max!

I got the itch to practice... and was not zeroing... what I mean is that as I warmed up I wasn't getting in a groove where my darts where gettting closer and closer to tight groupings... I was spraying...

I took a break... then threw some more... what I will call Zeeple style... (2 different sets of darts... each for about 5 minutes each... back and forth ) I finished the little session with this hat trick...



Then I decided to get out my old darts... and wow I was throwing them straight... but I was struggling to find my release point hence up and down was just off... plus these darts are very sensitive to speed... throw them too soft and the really nose dive at the end... anyways I threw some really tight groupings with them.



Then I went back to my usual darts and noticed that I was starting to narrow with them as well. I was grouping darts... throwing a dart and having the next one hit the first... then I hit my first two exactly where I was aiming... then tried to split them and missed just high...



I felt I was getting close... a couple messed up sets.. and I realized I wasn't focusing enough... so I really focused in... whamo... just a bit sloppy on the release but it was just a bit left.. and still in. Next dart aimed just next to it... hit just a bit right of where I was aiming... ok relax and just throws this one exactly like the last one... and I did just this time it went exactly where I was aiming... :-) took a deep breath and walked to the board to make sure the first one WAS in... grab camera... click

a little doubles?

Ok tonight I was practicing and I was working on doubles. I was trowing at double five and missed and hit a 5 so I threw a 3 then missed the double 1... So I used my next three to throw at Double 1... and I hit the first one... so I tried again... hit... and threw the 3rd

    

I dug out the old digital camera and snapped a shot... :-)

elbow great

Ok been running like crazy... 17 miles last week... training for a 5k on the 26th... then a 5 miler... then 15k... will do 1/2 marathon and a marathon next year...

Elbow feels great... no pain... threw for 30 minutes the other day... Miss throwing... don't have a team for this fall but my dart capt. called the other day... need to call him back... I might go out and play tomorrow nite... don't know... funeral to go to and if my family is getting together I will go with them... if nothing is going on with the family I will go out and throw darts and watch the Cleveland Browns game...
