Dear, Gus
Recently i have been very nervous before playing a match  even though i have played for a couple of years. i have started drinking a lot before games to get rid of my nerves. What should i do .?

Hi Gerry,
Very common problem, simple answer.
Practise for half an hour on key triples and doubles every second day for 3 weeks.
Get to the game early on match days relax, and practise before the match.
Make every second drink a soft drink.

Dear gus,
I have short stems and nylon standard flights with 24 gram Eric Bristow harrow darts.
Although i have not had them long they tend to dip and bounce out a lot but they are very sharp.
Any ideas.?

Hi Peter,
If your darts are dipping and bouncing out it sounds like you don't have a smooth release when your throwing.
Keep your elbow down and your head up and follow through with your dart after release in pointing motion towards the target.
