[dollar1]

I'M NOT AN "IT" :mad:

You could consider hollering at Dartgod so I can ask him dart questions. Then you wouldn't have to mess with me. Thus go back to peacefully lurking...

~under my rock~

BTW, ptlyon, you're slacking :)

[ptlyon]

BTW, ptlyon, you're slacking :)

I know it. Had to put down my stick for some lunch.

NOW GIT BACK OUT HERE!!!

[dollar1]

You still don't have that stick do you?

Sorry I haven't replied, I've been quite busy. I don't want to get into a long dart discussion because a) I don't have time and b) I don't really get to serious about darts anymore, I play to simply have fun and that's it. If I worry to much about improving my game than it is no longer fun for me (it didn't used to be that way, but I have more inportant things in my life now).

As far as equipment goes, every single dart player I've encountered has their own preferences as far as dart style, weight, throwing style, etc. No two are alike. I recommend that you get out and play in some bar tournaments and leagues, watch others, ask questions and take what you have learned and observed and adapt it for what works best for you. That's the cool thing about dart players. They are mostly good people and always willing to help new players.

Also, there are a ton of good dart sites out so just surf around, you'll find something you like. Start at www.crowsdarts.com (http://www.crowsdarts.com) . He's got a lot of good info and links to plenty of other good sites. If you have a chance, read Fun-Dart-Mentals. You can find more info about it at Crow's site (http://www.crowsdarts.com/reviews/fundart.html). It's an excellent book that covers the dart basics, then the strategic part of different games. They really get into the math of the game and will help you learn your outs in the '01 games as well as great cricket strategy. The last section of the book covers the mental aspect and is also very good.

Hope this answers most of your questions.

I play strictly for leisure. We have a cool cave (see old farmhouse root seller) that we have converted over to a wine celler/dart room.

I've played a long time but never studied the game. I've found those sites and came away with about what your snopsis stated.

I just thought their might have been an easy fix to my game so that I can consistantly beat my wife :rolleyes:

What seems to be the consensus is...more practice= better game :banghead:

I, too, don't have a lot of time. So I guess I'll have to settle with mediocrity.

Thanks for your response. I didn't know if you were even getting the messages.

This thread can offically end :p

Later ptlyon

IWhat seems to be the consensus is...more practice= better game :banghead:
Practice by itself is very difficult. For me, the best practice was live competition. I could never practice at home on a regular basis for any length of time. There are some drills you can do by yourself if you have the patience for it. It can become very boring and tedious. Here's a good site that has some practice routines you can try. They also get into the mental aspect of darts. This is a very good dart site. You may have already seen it.

I printed off a bunch of pages to take home and study. That pretty much screwed up my game :banghead:

Same like golf, the more you mess with it, the worse it gets!

Thanks, again.
