I once got the 1000 points with a final 60...boy if it sounds hard to do, it actually is even harder. Got quite shaky towards the end^^
And I have not even come close to it since. Nevertheless, achieving something like that can pick your form up for weeks, absolutely worth trying!

excellent stuff here now I have a good challenge with the 1000 on

[Boom]

Love these games. Especially Transition. That's a personal fave of mine.

When u have a black out in a match what can u do for playing back in thé game ?

[sarahwelty]

I like the transitions I practice them a lot but boy oh boy that bloody double 5 is an absolute bugger to hit! 😭

[heyheyadventures]

Question Paul, transition: if I hit first dart S8 instead of D16 so my next target would be D12 and D6 is that right? Thanks mate 🎯🎯🎯

[bobbymalta]

Thanks for sharing which numbers can you play for Transition?

A charity event with all the premier league top eight playing 10 up 1 down to would be amazing say ... set a 2/3/4 hour clock and whoever achives the highest out until there time is up wins .. 🏆
I think the PDC is lacking in a end charity event.

[sallumusa]

Thank you. Next practice session for my club.

What you'd need in a game siuation.

When playing 1, 000 on 20s can I ask why you do not count doubles?
