hey rjb,
thanks for the impressive first post! i edited the format to make it easier to read (these message boards sometimes lump everything together into one
really big paragraph) - but i didn't change a word. hope you don't mind.
despite the fact that i'm around darts all the time, i'm the barkeep and my own game . . . well, let's just say that i'm never involved in a money game at the
end of the night. so, thanks for sharing some dart throwing tips.
i'm familiar with running darts up the ladder, so to speak. and i know the pain of throwing a first dart into the blue in the first or fifth inning.
the part about the follow through, or not throwing with a "stopping or jabbing action", we call that 'short-arming' a dart.
you've covered a lot of tips - thank you!
one thing that i think about at the board is to attempt to throw the dart
through the target (usually the red of the inning) instead of "landing" the dart in the target. kindof like throwing a ball through a hole in the plywood at the carnival games, instead of tossing it and hoping it lands in the right place.
by the way, a 47 average at states? top notch i must say
