Just remember if you are doing something wrong and keep doing it , it will become part of your game so find out what is wrong and change it.
A coach is a good start, or just stop for a week or two and see if you go back to your natural style.

It's just a dip, the thing i have learnt since training is not to get frustrated with yourself although east said then done. One good thing to practice on is to do a drill such as picking 5 or 6 targets e.g. T20, D18, T19, D16 etc and trying to hit them 5 times. Use three darts at one target, if you hit 1 move on to the next target and mark it off. If for example you start with the T20 and hit it with first dart then move on to T19 and use the last two darts to hit it. Again if you hit it with your second then move onto the next target. If you miss the next target stay there with your next three darts until you hit it. It's a great accuracy drill. The idea is to move around the board hitting different targets. You should do this drill for 40 to 70 minutes. The idea is to not have targets or records but focus purely on the accuracy and close them out within the set time period.

I currently do this with 14 targets which i hit 5 times each and usually close them out in around 40 mins.

You were hitting 180`s everyday after 2 months training Suspect

Are you lewis`s wee brother or something. Some people have years of playing behind them and cant achieve what you were doing.

My point wasn`t that its a dip in form, i was alluding to the fact that he claims to be hitting 180`s everyday yet he`s only been playing for two months. I`ve yet to see a new-comer to darts instantaneously bang in 180`s on a daily basis. Sounds a bit suss or else the guy has worded it wrong.

My point is bad practice becomes part of your game, so bad practices is no good , sure it may be a slump but if you are doing something wrong it soon will become part of the your game, 100 darts will do it.
Besides it is not good for your conferdence.
