Playing tips wanted
Greetings from the Texas Cockney, Well I originate from London England have been in Texas for 10 years, guess marrying a Texas girl has something to do with it, so about me I have been a British Dart player since the 60’s those were the days of brass and feather darts, now British darts is not just skill but a science, there are 1000’s of types of steel tip darts, with variations in weight, construction, the material the dart is made from, the flight and so on.
So when surfing the web for dart supplies I “stumbled” upon American darts, WOW, this is HISTORY, so basic and yet so cool. It is like gong back in time when darts first started and throwing arrows into the bottom of a barrel. I was hooked, I have purchased a Widdy wood dartboard, a scoreboard and sets of Widdy, Apex and Darto darts, (okay, guess you guys are laughing but remember I am still thinking British Darts science here). The first time I tried playing, it was like going back to dart kindergarten, it was an achievement to get a dart to stick in the board for more than half a second, a true game of skill. However with lots of patience I am starting to get the darts close to where I want them to go.
Unfortunately here in Texas there are not too many people who have even heard of American darts alone played it, so I have been inviting friends round to play, yeah, a Brit telling Americans about American darts, (that sounds like enough to start another revolution), anyway love the game and if there is any avid American dart players out there that want to throw me a few tips, then yes please.
Y’all have a great day.
