      The key to great dart throwing is to distract your opponent.. , go up to the dart board and stab all 3 darts exactly where you want the on the board, and before your opponent turns back around, you pull you finger in and out 3 times so that it sounds like you threw all 3 darts in quick succession.

      @LordEriolTolkien 3 года назад +2

      @@brod5392 The board is standard, what you'd find in any pub, and darts weigh from about 15 to 30 grams each (that is how they are rated- by weight)
      and the oche (the line marking throw distance) is a standard 7ft 9 1/4 inch from the board face.
      It is a 'sport' in the sense that it requires lots of practice and competition.
      It is remarkably mentally intense: lots of pressure to perform what is a very precise act of eye hand coordination.
      Incidentally, requires and develops mental arithmetic. All good darts players can calculate backwards from 501
      And mental arithmetic itself is a much neglected mental activity

    I cannot begin to tell you how hard this is. First of all, while I was an excellent player, a nine dart game was almost unimaginable. But beyond that level of skill, I did play on TV and it takes an amazing ability to concentrate on the board when you have a camera focused on your face, within your field of vision. And a roomful of spectators looking on. I know these guys have a lot more TV experience than I ever did, but still, wow!

      @michaeldaigle7207 3 года назад +118

      The game is first to 0 points, you start with 501, hence the name "501 up". You throw 3 darts per round. Biggest triangle under the number is that amount of points, the rectangle on the outer edge is 2x points, the inner rectangle is 3x points. So hitting the 3x box under 20 is 60 points each dart, for 180 points down in 3 darts. He scored 360 points within 6 darts, then a triple 17, a triple 18 and a double 18 with his last 3 for 501 points in 9 total darts, which is the least amount of darts it takes to win a game of 501 up.

      Some people prefer heavier darts. It depends on your technique. I prefer 24-26 gram darts (kinda heavy, but not crazy) because they allow me to throw with a smoother action and sink nicely, i can feel the dart in my hand and can get a good grip, then the weight of the dart does the work, i just have to focus on trajectory.
