Click-it on the doubles 
Train every double without getting discouraged
Train every double without getting discouragedWhat’s the first thing a person does when they arrive at their holiday destination? Right: find a dartboard and squeeze in a bit of practice on the doubles. 
At Poolbar Paris in Ostend I ran this routine, and I’m happy to share it with you.
At Poolbar Paris in Ostend I ran this routine, and I’m happy to share it with you.How does it work?
You throw 3 darts at Double 1. Hit it? Then you get your remaining darts + 3 fresh ones for Double 2. Hit again? Same deal on to Double 3. That’s how you work your way up to Double 20, SB and Bull.
“Bit optimistic,” I hear you thinking. Fair enough. 
So here’s the clever part: you always lock onto the previous double.
So here’s the clever part: you always lock onto the previous double.What does that mean? Say you throw at Double 3 but miss. Then you drop back to Double 2. You have to hit that one again first before you get another shot at Double 3. But you never drop further back than that previous double. Hence the name: Click-it. You click up one step at a time, and that locking-in makes sure you never get stuck forever on Double 1.
Why does this drill work so well?
- Challenge: you really have to hit that next double.
- Frustration (the good kind): miss? You drop back. Keeps you sharp.
- Motivation & reward: you’re always moving forward. Hit a double and then nail the next one straight away? Click up — brilliant feeling.
Adjust it to your level:
- Easier: give yourself 3 + 6 darts per double.
- Harder: click the same 3 darts. Double 2 and Double 3 in one visit? Now it gets spicy.
