Darts Tips
Darts Tips:1) how to finish better Once you have got to below 170 you will be urged to go for the professional finishes recommended, avoid this because you might not be able to hit that double. throw 15 darts at each double and see how many you get with the 15 darts once you have figured out which ones your best at and practise getting down to them soon you will be able to finish well and you won’t be annoyed that you keep missing that double. I’ve hit a 129 finish using this technique. Submitted by: james collins from liverpool, United Kingdom Rated: 5 Times | Average Score: 9/10 | Rating Points: 45
2) Simple holding technique If you find that you are throwing the dart too low try holding the dart further back with the flight resting on your hand. Similarly, if you are throwing too high hold the dart further towards the tip. Another good tip is when practising at a certain number eg. T20, leave a dart in the spot you are aiming for and just aim for the dart. When you are more confident remove the dart but still imagine it there when playing.

3) 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! Submitted by: Darren MacLeod from Chicago, USA Rated: 4 Times | Average Score: 10/10 | Rating Points: 35
4) 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. Submitted by: Darren MacLeod from Chicago, USA Rated: 2 Times | Average Score: 10/10 | Rating Points: 20
5) 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.

8) 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. Submitted by: Darren MacLeod from Chicago, USA Rated: 2 Times | Average Score: 10/10 | Rating Points: 15
9) acurate 180 Phil Taylor(the 11 times world champion of the world) once said that to get an ancurate 180 you must look straight into the red area so you can almost see the hole that a dart once was placed in. If you get the tip of the dart and place it to the treble 1 or 5. keep looking at the red area. Good luck!!!!!!!

12) Do not drop the elbow Everyone has their own technique. But here is a simple geniune tip: do not let your elbow drop! The dart and arm should stay level with the dart board, dropping the elbow means shooting away from your intended target. When the elbow drops, you have just taken away your 'line' going to the target. Try this, your game will all of a sudden improve DRAMATICALLY.

13) 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. Submitted by: Darren MacLeod from Chicago, USA Rated: 1 Times | Average Score: 0/10 | Rating Points: 0
14) 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. Submitted by: Darren MacLeod from Chicago, USA Rated: 1 Times | Average Score: 0/10 | Rating Points: 0
15) Do not lean forward A huge mistake that many dart shooters make is, too much lean towards the dart board. This makes your body off balanced, leading to a unaccurate throw. Accuracy comes from a balanced stance. It is not worth the few inches gained from too much leaning, balance first then comes accuracy. Many players have reported ankle and back pain due to leaning.
