Darts Tips:

1) Rotate your dartboard

Rotate bristle dartboards after every 3 to 4 hours of play. This will dramatically increase the life of the dartboard, by reducing wear around high-score areas.

2) Learn how to hold the dart

When picking a new dart, be sure that it has some distinctive spot where you can register your fingers. This may be a groove, band of knurling, or scalloped area. It is essential that you hold the dart exactly the same way each time, and a good registration point on the dart ensures this.

3) A simple throwing line

Need to mark a throw line, without damaging your carpet? For a temporary line, just use a piece of Velcro fabric strip. The hook side will stick to most carpet, and can be easily placed and removed.

4) Trying out new darts

When trying out new darts, flights, or shafts, only change one item at a time. Otherwise you'll never figure out what the effect of any one of those new items might be.

5) Dart grip in cold weather

Get a grip! In cold weather, if your fingers get dry and slick, use rosin or darter's finger-wax to improve grip. If your hands get sweaty in hot weather, use a chalk bag to dry your hands.

6) How to avoid wobbly darts

Wobbly darts? (Sorry to say, the problem is not usually the equipment.) Examine your throw.. the dart should stay close to level during the entire stroke. A wobble only occurs if the dart leaves the hand pointing somewhere other the target. To avoid wobble in the first place, hold the dart level, parallel to the ground, keep it in that level position during the entire stroke, and then follow through straight to the board with your hand, so that the darts stays level. If it leaves your hand level, it won't have a wobble to start with!
