Mongoose, do you tend to keep vertical or horizontal alignment in mind? Or have both been ingrained into your throw that you no longer have to think about them?
> first off, nothing in my dart game is ingrained enough

as for alignment, it's probably inning/first dart dependant.

for example, i hit a low red in the six. now i'm going up the ladder. if i'd have hit a middle trip, i'm going across towards the cork.

for practice though, i really like the idea of having a plan for your darts. if you've reheasred landing darts vertically, there are so many game situations where you've got five laying, and the last dart makes it seven if you can just lay it on top.

making those shots can really boost an average. missing them can really boost your blood pressure.

nice descript on getting the elbow in line.

i know one guy who dry fires before each inning. actually, i think his whole routine is to take the darts from the board, touch the part of the board he wants to land the darts in, back up to the line, then do the fake throw, then throw his darts.

he can shoot the lights out too.
