After a strange spell recently, I’ve decided this week is all about resetting, relaxing, and finding the feel again. The proper restart of my 4-week improvement plan begins next Monday, but for now I’m keeping things simple: no drills, no pressure, just throwing.
I’ve gone back to my trusty Mervyn King darts (22g). Every time I drift too far into experimenting, these seem to be the ones that bring me back to myself. I’m not running through routines or playing training games at the moment, just throwing naturally, trying to rediscover that smooth, unforced rhythm.
And honestly… it’s starting to work.
By loosening my shoulder and loosening my grip, the throw feels less mechanical and more instinctive again. The wild darts are reducing, the grouping is returning, and I’m not fighting the dart on release like I was a week or two ago. It’s nothing dramatic, but the small improvements are noticeable.
Tomorrow will be the real test at the Under 55 Average Tournament. If I can bring some of this relaxed, at-home feeling into match play, that’s a big step forward.
One week of calm, then the serious work begins again on Monday. Feeling cautiously optimistic.
