Any dart fans among us?

I’m not a fan, but after burrow got hurt, I rode dart to a division championship and a playoff birth in the 2025 NFL FF CHAMPIONSHIP

He needs to learn to slide.

How hard is darts? I’m asking as an amateur with little knowledge. Obviously it takes a lot of precision.

If you have above average hand-eye coordination, quit your job and practiced 8hrs a day. Would you get good enough to be a pro?

I’m 80% sure the answer is yes for bowling, 100% sure the answer is yes for cornhole.

I’m not sure about darts.

Darts is not a hard game to learn. However, for some people, no matter how much they practice, they will never get above rank amateur.

It's like any sport to be honest. Some take to it like a duck to water and other sink like an anvil.

I've been playing since the late 80's, got decent at the local amateur level, won my share of money at local blind draw tournaments etc.------------but, and there's always a but----------the few times I ventured into the pro-am tournaments I only got so far and got eliminated.

The biggest name I ever played was a guy named Kevin Spiolek who, at the time, was ranked #10 in the world. Needless to say I was skunked in straight sets by him and sent packing.

Right now, the better players are coming through the youth league system they have set up in Europe where these kids are learning the game long before they are teens------and even then, only a handful will do well enough to make a living at it.

It's not only the ability to throw darts well, but as the Brits like to call it, they need to have "Bottle"------meaning the ability to put nerves aside at the most crucial times and still perform like they are playing in their own game room while on a stage in front of several thousand screaming fans and being streamed worldwide.

No, but I always laugh at the video of the guy who rips arse right before his opponents turn

It's a great sport for drinking several pints of beer, whether playing or watching. The Alexandra Palace (the "Ally Pally") in London sell HUGE amounts of beer during tournaments.......
