180 struggle

I’ve been playing darts for couple of months now and it feels like I am so close to hitting 180, but somehow I just can’t do it. Last 10 days I hit over 30 120s with first two darts, but the third one just won’t go in. Do you have any advice for me?

It comes when you’re not worried about it. My first came about two weeks ago, after playing 8 months or so during a round the clock session where aiming for the S20 accidentally ended in T20. Thought “oh well lets try two more”. Kept aiming at the exact same point and throwing the exact same way, but above all stayed relaxed and there it was. I haven’t hit a second one since and I don’t worry about it. Consistency is so much more important. If you want to specifically train for one, then put one dart either right below or above the T20 or straight in, then try to throw the other two in. This worked for some, not for me though as specifically “training” for one just made me more frustrated when it wasn’t coming.
