Yes it has all the numbers of the doubles and triples I struggle to do the maths in my head especially when I’m chalking and it helps me work it out in my head yes I have a omni but that’s not going to help me when I have to manually chalk a match at my club each to there own it’s what i like it’s what helps me I don’t get why people have to be negative about something that’s there to help people

After an incredible journey, The Dartist will be closing on 25th October.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone here who collected my work, supported, or simply followed the journey. It genuinely meant a lot. ❤️

First ever 180…

Hello I’m looking for new darts I tried one set from a guy in our club and I really liked them but they only come in steel tip now so I wanna ask if anyone could recommend something similar to these darts or even better same one in soft tip I couldn’t find them anywhere

I went to league tn. Last week was B division only won 7 of 29. D division this week. First guy I play. Starts scoring . I jokingly say you must of missed last week(he did) A div player. I kept up with him, had two chances at ton plus for the game from behind and scored 2 ton plus to leave a preffered double, i didnt get a chance at.

I play my next game against someone i've played in a league years prior and this year met up with once.won 6-3 We didnt play great tn, neck an neck but he hit every double he was aiming at.

I let the loss 7-2 roll off.

Went out for a smoke an thought i'll be happy with a 180 against this A div player that got knocked to D last week coming from A.my first 3 darts practice 180. I stop throwing. In 9 games I had 4 180's 4 134's more 80+ than i can count and still lost 7-2 but the euphoria of that 4th 180 in the match felt like my first 180. It was the best i've shot at a league night.

I've been actively trying to not let what my opponents throw and how i'm throwing affect my game. Tonight it felt like that.

I love this game

We don’t play a lot of 01 games. Wife prefers to play cricket.

And yes I am eyeing a new dartboard for XMas haha.

New darts with old flights 🐝

What do you think?

Is it common to buy short bomb darts and fit them with long points and kflexs?

I've been using Shaggy G2s with the same configuration recently, switched over to Winstanley G2s tonight (more of a front weighted bomb) and they're far more accurate.

I average way higher with this setup, but it just seems really counterintuitive to buy short barrels and make them long. If you're a bomb user give it a try.

After the sham of trying to get 2 tickets, if anyone has tickets and now can no longer go, please shout!

Long shot but you never know!

With three little kids I just don’t have the time to practice golf anymore and the costs are getting out of control. I’ve always enjoyed playing darts occasionally at the bar and figured why not setup a board in the basement.

Two months later and I’ve built myself my own little darts club in my basement. I’ve got a 16-player l, 8-team league on Thursdays and plan to do some summer tournaments.

I’ve come to really like the parallels darts has to golf mentally, in having a repeatable motion and risk analysis. Not to mention, I can practice anytime I want!

I plan to make the boards swappable to steel tip or potentially add a third dedicated steel tip lane in the future. For now I’m super happy with this little setup I’ve built on the cheap!

These are L-Style Mantis V1 darts (90%, 23 g) fitted with Mission Sniper Ripple Points, Edge Sports flexible polymer shafts, and L-Style flights with metal Premium Champagne Rings.

These darts actually gave me a lot of pleasant surprises.

The first surprise was that L-Style actually makes darts now. The ones reviewed here are part of a 10-model exclusive collaboration with DartShopper, all with various insect names like Mantis, Centipede, Beetle, and Hornet. I believe L-Style has produced one or two special dart sets with Juggler in the past, but they were budget soft-tip dart packages available only in Japan. This new "insect series" sold by DartShopper includes both soft-tip and steel-point darts -- if you're interested, a link is HERE.

The second pleasant surprise was that all three darts in my set weighed exactly 23.00 g. It's always nice to see that degree of manufacturing precision in a set of darts. They came fitted with black points and (as you'd expect) L-Style stems and L-Style flights (light green EZ). The barrels are tapered, with a shallow scallop at the back. The front 2/3 or so of the barrel has an unusual scoop-like grip pattern, with the scoops arranged in long rows running down the length of the barrel, and the scallop has shallow rings with longitudinal cuts. I'd rate the grip level at maybe 3.5 out of 5 at both the front and rear. And if you're a rear-gripper like me, the front edge of the scallop also serves as a solid push-point. The cuts aren't particularly sharp, so the darts don't feel grabby. The CoG of the setup shown in the picture is 3-4 mm in front of the scallop, so center-rear weighted. Finally, the barrels have a very attractive (IMO) shiny green PVD finish.

The third pleasant surprise was how well these darts throw for me. I was worried that the scallop is a bit farther back than in most of my other darts and also that the barrels are rear-weighted. But the darts feel really comfortable and well-balanced if you grip them in the scallop. With my throwing action, they feel nice and stable, with no fish-tailing and a slightly tail-up entry angle.

The fourth and final pleasant surprise was that all the L-Style/DartShopper models are less that $80, which seems like something of a bargain nowadays, especially given that they come fitted with L-Style shafts and flights.

As a big fan of L-Style flights, I look forward to seeing L-Style introduce more darts in the future. And based on my very positive experience with my first set of L-Style darts, I'd recommend you check them out.

Good shooting! 🎯

Ok so i’ve just started playing darts the past few months and really enjoying it. This is a little bit of a weird question but how do you take the darts out with your opposite hand fast? I see pros and even amateurs throw with their right hand for example, and then take the darts out with just their left hand really quickly. They can still do it even if the darts are spread across the board. I’ve tried it and i can’t do it lol. I have to use both hands. Weird question i know but is there some sort of technique to use? Thanks.

I’m trying to sign up for a monthly subscription on the pdc.tv app so I can watch the euros, but i get ”404 Publisher not found”, when i press the subscribe button on the web.
Does anyone else have this problem?
And where can I watch the event instead of pdc.tv?

Anyone still looking to buy a Belfast ticket ? I’ve got a spare ticket section STHL5 row 5 , can transfer straight away through Ticketmaster

First pic is fresh out the box, second is my personal setup. I was looking for a swiss point dart set not too different from my old Winmau Tuscans, and this seemed to fit the bill quite nicely while not being overly expensive (€65). Białecki is also one of the players I really like, so that's a bonus :)

(The goofy flights are an inside joke)

Goofing around on DartConnect as I frequently do… playing DIDO 301. 159 remaining… first dart on the left, second dart on the right and before walking up to the board - I would have sworn my third dart missed the treble 20 above the wire.

I was mistaken… Busted!
