What a start to the night, Dutch fans putting bunting off first leg then gave him respect, bunting hitting them 180's.
Clean sweep. All the home players out early doors.
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.

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 outQuote:

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 subQuote:

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 monthQuote:

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.Quote:

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

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.
I’ve just managed to finish off dartbot 3 myself (finally) lost count how many 2-0 I chucked away decided to do a few days doubles training I really need to get that better, your average is more than mine mate I’m 33.59 overallQuote:

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 DartsQuote:

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

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

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.Quote:

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
Some comeback from Littler after being 5-1 down.
Cross will be disappointed with himself, MVG wins comfortable against Bunting to set up MVG vs Littler again.Quote:

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 outQuote:
