We are often asked for ideas for your home practice sometimes others come along that are too good to miss.
The Kill Bull Game from Winmau.tv is one of them. This one has been featured on social media so we had a look. Its a nice, quick, game to work on your bull hitting.
Coach says: “This is nice simple game that can be scaled up or down depending on ability/experience. This means different players can race to their own target while playing together”.
A.I.M:’s ‘Coach’ commented:
Downsides: “Often those who try to devise games make then two hard or the consequences of a missed dart/s too great. This is one of those“.
Play the game two ways: “First play it as simply a chase the target or opponent game.” If your doing well, add in the penalty for missing. “When you first add the extra penalty in reduce your target.”
Overall though, its a good drill,if kept within a wider setting. The DW staff had a go and managed the 300 level reasonably soon even with the penalty. The higher levels were indeed tough and frustrating!
“Too much time spent on one drill leads to complacency and or frustration. Neither of these is good within a practise session”.
