Today I received a great question from a Darting.com customer.  Daniel asked:

 I am opening a pub and I want to hang a dart board. The lay out, however, makes it somewhat dangerous for the patrons. I am thinking of using "soft tip" darts. I also hope that this type of dart will not ruin the walls. Suggestions? I have no access to electricity where I want to hang the dartboard...

 Well Daniel, that is a great question and I have an answer for you.  Soft tip darts will bounce off of the walls, but if they are thrown with a heavy thrust they might damage wall.  Heavy felt around the dart board would protect the walls nicely and is a suggestion. 

 The best dartboard would be a battery operated one if he does not have electricity in the area, suggest the GLD 777 #40-0000 or the GLD 787 #42-0001 also the Bull Blaster is an inexpensive simple style dartboard.  The majority of bars do not have steel tip darts to protect their patrons.

I get asked a lot "What are some new games I can play with my friends?".  I often share this game when I am confronted with that question.

Mastering Dart Math

There is no way to master the '01 game without knowing your best outs and being able to do the math.  Period.  Cultivate these skills through practice.  A complete out chart is available in many places, but any out chart should not be regarded as unalterable scripture.  View it as a suggestion, and modify it to suit your dart play.  You should strive to hit the high percentage numbers, but quirks in your game should not be ignored.  If you can drive trip 13's like a jackhammer, your dart play should not ignore this.  If you like double 10 as an out, and hit it like Barry Bonds hits homes runs, by all means work your close to double 10.

Personalize your game, but do so with reason.  Study the game.  Know the right shots and the best leaves, and when playing with a partner, go by the book, or ask him what he likes.  Your partner may not share your preference for Double 3 as an out.

The quicker you become intimate with the multiplication and subtraction involved in the game, the quicker you will start playing '01 to win.  This bridge is crossed through practice and committing the perferred outs to memory.

Until Next Time!
