Dartitis

Dartitis (/dɑːrˈtaɪtɪs/) is a condition that can affect darts players and severely damage their performance. The term is used in reference to players who struggle with some kind of motor skills or psychological problem affecting their ability to release their darts. It has been compared to 'the yips', an expression used to describe the sudden inability to execute basic functions while playing sports without any explanation.

Some players who experienced dartitis, such as five-time world champion Eric Bristow, have failed to recover the level of performance they once had prior to developing the condition.
