| Hello fellow darters! I thought I would say hello and hopefully get some help with improving my darts and whenever possible I'll do the same for you! A little bit about myself... I'm 26 years old and have been practicing/playing darts since I was 14 but only in about the last 3 years have a started to take darts seriously. I usually play with a couple of mates at the local pub every few weeks and have entered a couple of local competitions but practice in my flat using dartpro approx 8-10 hours per week, I like to get at least an hour a day on the board if not more. Currently in 40 legs on a blade 3 board I'm avg. 58.3, scoring wise I'm quite happy with, it's my doubles that occassionally let me down and affect my avg bigtime. I have problems with my stance and throw, I can't seem to find one that I'm happy with, I can throw 180 in 3 darts and then the next 3 darts will score 28. I'm currently using Garry Anderson 24g smooth grip with harrows standard magnetic tops shafts and standard shape flights. I have experimented with various darts and used to throw 31g, 28g and now thes, I find that the smooth grip is much more suited for myself. I occassionally also practice on a champion choice practice board and find that when I go back to the blade 3 the doubles and trebles appear much bigger but I don't know if playing on the practice board is doing me any good because if I don't hit the target I get frustrated because I know that if it was the standard board I would have hit the target?? Anyways I guess that is enough for now.... If you guys can give me any advice good or bad it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance Aiki |

Hi Aiki, welcome to the forum.
I also use smooth barrels, Winmau Ted Hankey 21g.
Never used the champion choice board, standard one is hard enough, stick to just one and stop getting frustrated.
