How often should you practice darts?

The most any practice day should be is 3.5 hours, which equals a maximum of four full sessions with proper breaks. If you are going for a big practice day then you will need to lengthen the breaks in-between each hour, making the actual practice day last almost 5-6 hours.

Practice Makes Perfect – How much should you practice at darts?

With televised darts averages seemingly sky rocketing, everyday players could question the hours needed to genuinely improve. It’s actually not rocket science, and is it really as hard as everyone seems to think?

We’ll discuss the key factors around finding the right amount of time that you need to devote to your game in order to get measurable improvements.

100 % focused training

Before taking to the practice board it helps to fully understand how the human mind works around the key element of “Mental Focus” and how long we can actually stay 100% focused for, non-focused practice (all sports disciplines) has been proven to cause more harm than good around performance.

Two mini-sessions means a session

The Pomodoro Technique has long been accepted amongst management and production gurus as the gold standard of concentration and maximum work rate efficiency. Developed by Francesco Cirillo, a leading productivity expert, who discovered through extensive research that a human first burst of full concentration lasts approximately 25 minutes, and requires a short break of 3-5 minutes before attempting a second burst of focus - which corresponds with strong statistical significance for the best darts specific practice where 50 minutes of practice is carried out including a break.

Best education is given in 45 minutes

A well-known fact is that Finland has one of the best education systems in the world, one of the main reasons being the length of the classes, which lasts 45 minutes. Whilst Darts is a physical activity and generally played by people above school age, the base to add a short break sets up the perfect frame work for your total practise session, no more than 45 to 55 minutes.

A break is as important as the practice

After your first 45-60 minutes of practice it’s time for a longer break of 30+ minutes to maintain peak performance And also the body, brain, nerves and especially hand needs to “cool down” fully. Naturally, the exact details depend on your age, physical form and health including throwing style, release and follow through so you will have to experiment what suits you. If we compare time frames to relevant dart competitions, it’s quite rare that any single match (PDC best of 11) lasts any longer than 40 minutes without a break. So, the best practice sessions are 20-25 minutes in one go, with a short break, then another 20-25 minutes and you’re done.

Time per day

During recording sessions with top level orchestral musicians in the 1980’s, it was proven that there was no benefit for sessions to run over 200 minutes – the results in accuracy faded hugely after this total time, during which they did have a 10-minute breaks every hour. The most any practice day should be is 3.5 hours, which equals a maximum of four full sessions with proper breaks. If you are going for a big practice day then you will need to lengthen the breaks in-between each hour, making the actual practice day last almost 5-6 hours. However, for vast majority of us it’s basically impossible to practice for a whole day over this length of time so to keep your aim 100% focused, enjoyable and interesting with 2-3 sessions of practice.

Can you replace the tip of a dart?

Much like flights and shafts, steel tip points are an interchangeable part of a dart and can be replaced.

shotdarts.com - Trouble Shooting - Bent Dart Points - Shot Darts

A bent, broken or snapped dart point can be hugely annoying, but the good news is it does not mean your beloved darts are unable to be used again. Much like flights and shafts, steel tip points are an interchangeable part of a dart and can be replaced. Shot Darts uses quality points in our darts, manufactured to the industry standard in England. Strong dart points will bend as opposed to breaking. If they break entirely, they are too soft or too brittle, and there’s a chance they will snap inside the barrel, so a bent point is best, as it means no long term damage to the dart barrel. Replacement points can be ordered separately and this can give you the option to experiment with different point lengths and options like additional grip pre-applied. We recommend investing in a good quality dart repointing tool for do it yourself point replacement. This strong device is designed primarily to deal with broken points, or if you just want to change style or length of your points. It’s easy to use, and we think it's an essential part of any darts set up. To minimise the risk of bent points we also recommend using a good quality bladed board like The Bandit which will prevent bounce outs, and investing in a dartboard surround and dart mat to protect your points for those times the darts go astray and hit the wall or floor. If you are still stuck and need help re-pointing your Shot Darts, then please get in touch with us.
