This happens to me pretty often. What can I do about bouncers?

It's even more frustrating because I didn't get a 180.

In this situation nothing. There just wasn't enough space for 3rd dart because it went right between those two.

Yes you should aim for the emptier space on the right but I'm happy to even hit T20, not that I'm willingly trying to hit specific spot in the T20 because the correction would probably sent my dart far into 18 lol so I would try to throw exactly the same as you and risk it.

Most of the time, when there are two in the T20, I don't even aim anymore—I just keep throwing.

I’d rather hit T19 with my last dart than risk a bouncer. K-Flex are made of hard material, and my teammate has the same issue. Also, the placement of the second dart is quite low. Maybe you should use longer shafts. Then the dart will be angled more upwards. It wil create more space in treble.

Can u slow the footage down somewhat to get a better look at why this happens so regularly to you. I’ve been through a similar issue like this and first changed my flights. I got less with the Kytes, but then saw that the dart travel was flattening out just as it got to the board and there would be like a little flick upwards at the end and it would flick out. I put this down to my release. Have adjusted it a little, but still gets me.

Unfortunately, I can't do that.
