Good start for the Asian's.

Brilliant Hutch never even knew Darts were on :aok:

[Tambo]

Dobey not hanging about, comfortable win there.

[Tambo]

Im new to the new era of darts, not watched much the past 10 years or so, what's the deal with this world series of darts?

Is it different pdc players each event? Good for the local guys but after watching last night's the Asian's didn't look great, I'm sure the Dutch players will be harder.

Should be some good games later on.

I think these world series events are to promote the game globally. The top 6 (or is it 8) ranked players line up against the best from that area as nd it goes from there.

Bahrain, Australia, NZ, Japan, US and probably a few I've not listed. I don't think they are ranking events.

[Tambo]

Bunting 6-0 win over dobey, looking forward to price Vs littler.

[Tambo]

Some darts from price, 6-2 win.

[FifeHibs]

Price needs to break him now it’s 4-1 to have a chance

[FifeHibs]

Some break 25 bull haha

[Tambo]

I enjoyed that two day of Darts, Bunting deserving winner.

[Dmas]

Bunting was on fire, very well deserved

[FifeHibs]

Is that Buntings first win in along time? I remember when he won the BDO but never really kicked on

[Dmas]

Won the masters last year I think it was, I’m the same as the poster above though I’ve no idea which are ranking tournaments but it’s only been those 2 since he moved from BDO, whatever he’s done over the last year or so has been incredible though, his scoring is unreal, the semi final with dobbey was over in the blink of an eye

[DaveF]

I think Littler won Bahrain last year. There are around half a dozen different 'masters' in various parts of the world.

Yeah he did, bunting won 2024 world masters end of January for this years tournament

[Tambo]

I seen an article about bunting saying he's playing better since he dropped " the bird is the word" song.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Managed to avoid the final day results all week and just got round to watching it this morning, well deserved victory for Bunting. 👏

Looking forward to it, the Dutch should put up a better fight, not watched barny live in years.

thank you

[Tambo]

Good performance from this Dutch guy Kevin Doets.

[Tambo]

Magic from Barny to win the deciding leg.

[Sloop67]

Some finish from Barney to win the game , after looking like he'd blown it

[FifeHibs]

Some display by wattiemena although his 2nd attempt at the double remember mine 🤣🤣🤣

[Tambo]

That was a good evening of high quality darts, should be a cracker tomorrow, would love barny to win.

Safe to say that that turned out to be the case. 👏

Will be watching the darts on the big screen while I keep an ear/eye out on the city game on my phone.

A decent QF lineup.

[Tambo]

What a start to the night, Dutch fans putting bunting off first leg then gave him respect, bunting hitting them 180's.

[DaveF]

Clean sweep. All the home players out early doors.

[Tambo]

Bought myself a dartboard today from Argos for £25 and some Luke Littler darts for £15, my first ever three darts was 4 10 triple 1 😁

Was throwing for about half hour or so and my last three darts was triple 20 missed the board and 19, I was aiming for the triple 19 on the missed and the third dart was close.

I don't have any surrounding so will need to invest in one or a stand as no idea where the dart is going to go and don't want holes in the wall, so far so good.

Will spend the next few hours watching videos on stance, aiming and grip etc, the triple 20 I hit I was obviously aiming but definitely was luck than skill.

Consistently throwing a good dart is obviously key but I enjoyed it and will throw some more later.

Good thing about Darts is you can play on your own , I can easily go upstairs and spend 5-6 hours every day playing Darts and i don't ever get bored , I'm maybe biased because he's Scottish but i followed Gary Anderson's stance, Throw , Technique and it works for me , Foot forward instead of sideways and keep everything in your body straight , Head still , Throw your Darts and don't jerk anything , Arm as far out as it goes before releasing the Dart is absolutely critical !

I won everything you could win when i was playing from 18 till 21 in the pub leagues then beer and woman entered my life , I think if the money that is on show now was available back then i'd have screwed the nut

Aw the best mate , Keep at it

I bought darts board and stand about a fortnight a go and have thrown darts everyday since, I’ve had dart boards before but I’m no great shakes myself the surround has a few holes in it that’s for sure, I’m now getting decent scores although always the chance of a 26 or a 3 raising its head every now and then but my doubles are horrific, I just can’t check out

[Tambo]

I'm just off it now, threw for about an hour and a half today, hit a few treble 20's and have started to practice hitting the 19's. I have noticed I'm hitting the 5 and 1 more often than the 18 or 12, I feel I have got better than yesterday.

Download the Russ Bray app, only the trial version so can only play the computer at 201, you just shout out your scores and it does the rest for you, says can play Vs humans, not sure how it would work, I could just keep lying and win every game.

Enjoying it so far and look forward to tomorrow when I get the time to throw some more.

I’m using dart counter which is good 3 online games a week you get with no sub (it’s 34.99 a year for unlimited) need to have a camera on for games tho or no one plays you, another one is dartmind which auto scores using your phone camera it does depend a lot on how good the lighting is and it’s 12.99 for the year, for playing online you get 20 coins for that initial sub and it costs 1 coin everytime you use your camera against another human player looks to be 6.99 for a further 50 coins, but you can auto score on your own all the time just the initial sub

Cheers for this! Would be nice to be able to play online without the fancy equipment for now, I'm going to try get at least one hour a day for a couple of weeks and see how I get on.

I understand every throw needs to be precise from grip to release etc.

I’ve been tampering with how I hold it think I’m better holding it further up the dart but I’m still quite erratic, I’m using the freebie darts that came with the board as well I’m hoping to get a decent set next month

Spent another hour or so today, I feel better on the 19's than I do the 20's, been playing vs the computer on the Russ Bray app but it's only 201 start, almost checked out 110 with a treble 20 treble 16 and not far off the double 2.

Obviously I'm aiming for these targets, sometimes it feels like it's luck, can definitely feel it in the throw if I throw a bad dart.

I'm hoping I can keep getting at least an hour in a day.

I’m just playing away at 501 against the bot on darts counter, currently on level 3 but have blown 2-0 lead twice now to lose 3-2 despite massively out scoring it, really hot and cold just when I think I’ve cracked the aiming it deserts me again, enjoying it though which is the main thing I suppose.

Most mental thing is when your first dart sails into treble 20 you can’t get a decent grouping to even hit 100 never mind a 2nd and 3rd treble but if your first dart flies into treble 1 or 5 you bet the next 2 darts fly right in close

I'm glad you never got the double 2 cos you would've burst your score. 🤭

😁 Whatever that checkout adds to was what it was, not sure why had 110 in head or posted at the time.

[Tambo]

Have been on it a little today, just finished 3 games vs dart bot level 3, my 3 dart averages were 44.21, 42.94 and 44.87.

No idea if this is any good for a beginner with 6 days of about an hour a day practice.

Checking out is my main issue which I will practice on.

Missing the doubles really effects my average, didn't have the energy or patience yesterday but will have an hour before the darts tonight.

MVG struggling with that D10.

[Tambo]

6-5 win for MVG, could watch these two play each other every day.

What a standard ! That was brilliant to watch , Good to see Littler telling the crowd to stop booing when MVG was on a finish , Seriously getting pissed off with this booing in the Darts lark !! It's honestly putting me off watching Darts

Take your booing and get it to **** !!

MVG will be disappointed he's not won that semi final, fancy Humphries to win night 1.

My boy had been banging on about getting a dartboard for weeks and finally got round to getting him one, his first time playing and he loves it, we have been playing every night this week, his only issue is the darts supplied aren't great for him, he says they are too light and being a wee guy he doesn't quite have the power to get the dart fully in the board also putting flights back on is getting on his nerves, is he better with a heavier dart and what's the solution to flights staying put

What gram are the darts to you now? The ones I got are basic Luke Littler 22g darts from Argos for £15.

https://youtube.com/shorts/u5n1Gu3jvOQ?si=JnIoQ_lRS48w3brb

Will stop the flights coming out, the darts I have I've had the flights come out I'd say about 4 times and I've used them alot, my only issue is my board is cheap and darts can fly out when hitting the wire, the same board in the open goal video which Kevin Kyle points out about the wires.

Anyway good luck and hope your sons keeps it up, I've had alot of fun since getting one last week, yet to hit a 180, my highest is 140 but that's been a one off so far.

I’m having the same issues using darts that came with the board, I’m going to go to a dart shop tomorrow and have a throw of a few see what suits.

With flights if you have a look at k-flex here
https://www.target-darts.co.uk/dart-accesories/k-flex

you will get them different pricing so shop around if you do go for them a wee tip not to screw them completely in so they have a little movement when hitting off your other darts, maybe find they add a little extra weight to your dart as well if it’s only a small adjustment the wee man needs

[SteveHFC]

Some comeback from Littler after being 5-1 down.

All that whistling last night, don’t know how these Fowk don’t realise they are ruining the night instead of adding to it, was brutal last night thought the Scottish crowd would be good but it stunk

:agree: What idiot(s) think i't ok to go to the Darts and spend the entire night whistling ? I mean why waste that much energy ? Just have a drink with your mates and a good sing song , Hold a placard and try get on the tv like most of the crowd and just enjoy yourself , Weird behaviour whistling and booing

I do think the folk whistling though need emptied , It can't be that hard to identify , Their are stewards and security everywhere roaming the arena , Like the buses and trains , If you see it , Say it and report it :greengrin

Sky sports news making a big deal of it this morning shaming Glasgow , Yeah cause it never happened during the worlds eh ? It happens in every event throughout the world and it needs action to be taking cause like i said earlier in the year it's putting me off watching Darts , Booing players on a double ? Grow up FFS

Yeah I saw a few people from sky commenting on Twitter about it, it’s been getting worse but as you say was rife at ally pally as well you can’t pick and choose when to call it out

[HibbyAndy]

The abuse cameron Menzies got at the ally pally was worse than anything last night.


Ack 2 wrongs don't make a right to be fair , Just need to start clamping down on it , Once people start to get emptied out the arena it will soon stop

[DaveF]

I don't watch it last night and reading the reports and on here I won't be tuning in anytime soon to watch it. The morons have finally won but in a way, Hearn and PDC built this monster for the money and this is the result.

[Dmas]

Belgian open has been a good watch, good crowd also.

Michael smith out 6-0, Luke woodhouse played really well to put out Gary Anderson as well

Booing, whistling & jumping up and down like a Shereen Nanjiani,throwing pies,coins lighters etc happens when an opposing player is taking a penalty at the fitbaw. So what's the difference?

Littler beats De Decker 8-5 in the final.

Littler beats De Decker 8-5 in the final.

Was a good watch that, littler took a while to get going and the crowd where right up for the local lad was a good match, littler dead awkward at the end when de decker was joking around with him

Next one in Austria I think

[Tambo]

I didn't watch the last one on itv with it being FA cup weekend, was going to watch it during the week the week after but I spoilt it on the Monday morning opening chrome on my phone so didn't bother, Littler seems in good form at the moment.

I've still been playing some myself as much as I can, did go through a spell a few weeks ago when I never even bothered with other things going on.

Ditched my £15 Luke Littler brass darts and picked up some £28 MVG tungsten ones and the difference is amazing.

Nothing special but currently sitting at a 50.71 average on dart counter.

That’s cracking mate well done! I’m at 42.36, doubles still letting me down unfortunately, I bought red dragon javelins but I think I’ve gone too light as there’s a few wild darts thrown or flying away too high, get a heavier dart over the next month or 2 I think
