As with any sport, some players have a natural talent and others need to work hard to play well. Darts is no different but however good you are naturally, you will only improve your darts skills if you practice.
Here are 5 great ways to improve your darts skills:
1. Practice hitting the doubles. On a good quality bristle dartboard, the double segments should be nice and clear and you should have no trouble when attempting to land steel tip darts into this section of the board. However, it is a very small, crucial area of the board and whatever scores you record to get the double if you cannot hit the double you will not win. Pick a double and see
how many times you can hit it within 10 minutes and then move on to the next one around the board.
2. Checking out is one of the most difficult aspects of darts for beginners. Trying to count down what you have left to leave yourself a double can be tricky, especially when under pressure. To help improve your checkout skills, start with the number
99 and try and finish it. When doing so, think about which double you want to leave and how you will get there. Once you have done it, move down to 89 and so on.
3. Playing with accuracy is key to winning a darts match. While every board you play darts on in a bar or club is a standard bristle dartboard, there are other styles of bristle dartboard you can buy to practice on at home. For example, the Ignat Games
Assassin Blade ProBristle Dartboard features doubles which are approximately 4 mm wide and if you become good at hitting the doubles on this board, you will enjoy great success on a standard size bristle dartboard.
4. If the equipment you are using isn’t suitable, your scores on the dartboard will suffer. Go to a specialist darts store and try using the different steel tip darts they have available. Every good darts store will allow you to practice using different
weights and styles of steel tip darts and help you to select the ones which are best for your style of throw. You will be surprised how having a set of steel tip darts which have been selected personally for you, will help to improve your game.
5. If you are playing in a league or cup match for a team, how you prepare yourself for the match is very important. Having a good warm-up will improve the way you play from the first dart of the match. Professional darts players will warm up for many
hours before matches and while you do not need to do that, having a warm-up routine before a match will help you play better darts. If you are short on time before a match, use your practice darts to throw at double 20, the bullseye and then double
3. By aiming for these numbers, you will have a feel for throwing at three different heights on the board, which is extremely helpful.
