Out Shots And Practice Makes Perfect.

They say that practice makes perfect and it is true that it certainly improves your game. Most people when starting out improve after a little practice, some take a few years to reach a decent standard and others will achieve it in a few short months. Then again others find that they don’t improve no matter how long they play, they just have no natural aptitude for the game.

Undoubtedly the best players are born to the game and are naturals, but even then they put in hours of practice every day. Practicing must be serious, not just aimless throwing at the board.

The players mood is also important and one way of improving your concentration and relaxation is to learn the various recommended finishes for the game. The reason for some of them may seem obscure,**(See Bottom of Page)** but knowing them is important because it will prevent hesitation on a shot out when you have to stop and work out a finish. Often there are alternatives to various finishes, but with the higher finishes there may be only one way out with three darts.

Below are listed most of the popular finishes. 

All finishes up to 170 are possible with the exceptions of nos 159,162,163,165, 166,168 and 169. 170 is the highest possible finish.

**As can be seen from a lot of the numbers a missed shot still leaves an alternative such as with 82. 25 for instance would leave 17 then tops. With 78 a single 18 would leave 20 then tops. So you can see that allowing for an alternative shot is very important and it is not just a case of going for anything. It will also be seen from the list that the bull is used a lot more by the professionals than by amateurs.
