I have recently developed dartitis, I am the captain of my district team and was sort after by many of the top clubs and I started to feel like I was expected to throw great darts every time I played, and thats where it started for me I think.
I have a friend who is a Hypno-therapist and he did some exercises with me to help me relax and not get so stressed before games, he helped me remember the fun and enjoyment we all forget about as we put pressure on ourselves to perform, the hardest trick is to forget about dartitis when your playing, I try to sing a song in my head while I play and concentrate on my breathing and this really helps me.

Hi
You may remember me as the person that said the OED would have to revise their definition, or as more likely omit it from their Tome.
Thought you would like to know that Over the past two months I have been compiling a book on the cause/s & remedy/s of Dartitis. The dreaded will soon be a thing of the past. I still have about six to eight weeks to complete the work before I aquire a publisher, as writing is not my forte! All I can say here is that Dartitis is not a psychological Condition at all but purely a physical one. You can relate this E-Mail to your readers if you so desire.

Having played in local leagues for 20 years I had never had any problem releasing my darts. However 18 months ago it appeared and I couldnt hardly hit the board, was it confidence? maybe!. What I did and I am now virtually cured was to throw heavier darts and more quickly than normal plus not aiming for anything in particular just to get a rythum - took some getting used to but my theory worked for me. I throw 22 gram darts and now hold them very lightly between my fingers - releasing them is now easy because it feels like im holding nothing!! I am now playing decent darts again (superleague level) standard of play!, its taken but its worked. Good luck.

i was a county standard darts player at 19.i was playing in a game the day before i was due to go on holiday.I had a lot on my mind and started to snatch my darts and had a problem letting them go.The problem soon became so bad i was falling over the oche trying to let the darts go.I struggled on for 3 years but it became all i could focus on and i was aware people were watching me and the more i thought about the problem the worse it became.I gave up darts for 8 years,then was persuaded to try again playing more for fun than anything.To my surprise i started to play well again,i loved it back in the groove.My son became interested in darts and after lots of hours on the practise board he was a very good player.We joined the same team and people would tell him how good a player i used to be.I cant say for certain what brought it back on,i think i put to much pressure on myself to be as good as i was to show my son his dad was a good player.Dartitis came back,i was only aware of the dartitis and not the darts!I am still fighting it and am now trying to relax more and just enjoy my game.I have a weird throw now where i throw from acrooss my chest rather than straight on.This can be frustratting as one dart hits treble 20 ,the next could be anywhere,still keeps the chalker on his toes!The thing is unless you have had dartitis you dont know what its like,relax,just let em go,dont think about it.All easy to say,bit harder to do.I am going to try a more possitive calmer approach,i dont have to hit a 180 every go or be the player i was,i,m who i am now if i stutter a bit,so what,might let o loose one go,dont care,i love darts!I wont stop ,im just going to enjoy it and if i ever do beat anyone again i,m gonna sing my head off!So no matter how bad it is,hopeless or frustrating,just step back take a deep breath throw with the other hand or chuck em backwards,we love darts just play and enjoy yourselves!

without wishing to sound big headed, i reckon when i was 20-23, i was in the top 5 in scotland.. then it hit me... ive tried ever since, but i just cant get it back. occasionally im putting a 12 dart game, but i still know its not my throw.. im rteally despairing now, played in a match today and just couldnt let em go. its the most horrible affliction ever known on sport, and i really hope no oner else suffers how i have...if any one has a tried and trusted cure, please let me konw
