How often do you practice?

Question

What is your practice routine ?Do you practice various  parts of the game or just play?

Answer 1

I try to get out and practice 3 to 4 times a week, if not more.  Last season, I didn't really practice at all and just went to competitions with only a little practice.  With the weird winter, I've been practicing off and on when I can, while trying not to tear up my yard.  This spring and summer, it will hopefully be almost every day if possible.

it's all about choices, King of Kubb or nice lawn !!

sorry THansenite  did not mean a reply anonymous. Dano

What lawn? Many DMK club members just have a mud pit at this time of the year.

That is one argument...however, while you guys are practicing for nationals in a mud pit, I'll be perfecting my drill in a lush, nationals-like pitch.  haha

Answer 2

As the Kubbnation article "Diary of a Kubb Widow" hints at, the quick answer for a hardcore kubb player is this:

As  much as I possibly can while balancing a marriage/significant relationship/family.

Guys like Jake Freeberg, Eric Anderson, or Chris Hodges should really get an extra baton per round per kid they have. Getting out there to practice is much easier when you're single.

I'd like to take them, but it would also mean Dobbie got two more, and I don't need to be playing against that...

Answer 3

My standard practice session is to throw 100 batons at 8m, tallying them up as I go. (2 of 6, 3 of 12, 7 of 18, etc...) then play a scrimmage game against myself to make sure I'm keeping up on my drilling and short game. A good night for me is 40+ hits during the baseline drill, and zero penalties/zero advantage lines during the scrimmage.

 

If I don't feel like I played well in the short game then I'll usually do 10 or so inkastare drills, which for me means throwing 8, standing them as defensively as possible, and dropping them with 6 or less.

 

Typically takes me about 45 minutes, and I try to do it 4 times a week after the kiddos go to bed.

Seriously? Holy crap!

"try to do it 4 times a week" = "I get to do it about twice a week"

---

I'm thinking there's a market for a pre-set-up, spring-loaded kubb baseline.

Answer 4

As much as possible but usually a few times a week.  I work on all aspects of the game.

Answer 5

You are all sick. You need help. Although, I am jealous.

Comments

Correct, we are sick.  We practice so much because we are stick of losing.

If there's a cure, I don't want it!

There is no cure. :)

Answer 6

As long as you include ranked matches and friendly matches, in addition to my actual practice I've been averaging 2-3 times per week since Christmas. Due to the weather this winter has been more active than last summer.

Since March I've been playing (praticing) 3-4 times a week sometimes more.

I've been concentrating on my short game because I keep leaving lines and that is killing me. By the time I hit Rockford I hope to have that part of my game fixed.
