A better night at the oche this week as I made it through to the semi-finals of the Wednesday Night Under-55 Average Comp, and for the first time in a while, things actually felt like they were starting to click again.
I used my new Michael van Gerwen 22-gram darts, and they really did make a difference. The old problem of slicing darts to the right was much less noticeable. It might still be a bit psychological, but even so, the grouping felt tighter and the throw smoother. I hit a fair few 100+ scores and even had a look at a 13-dart leg, until double 12 decided it wanted nothing to do with me!
Still, I came away feeling much more positive, and even picked up a bit of prize money, which always helps. My average (41.13) still needs work, but the overall performance showed definite progress. It feels like I might finally be emerging from that little black hole of form.
Next up is Thursday’s event, and with a slightly tougher field, it’ll be a good test to see if this improvement is the real deal.
