New Venue

Posted by swljuggernaut on April 15, 2009

So thus far, accept for one night over xmas at a Lions club where we played a few games, and another night where i played in a bar for two hours, I have played nearly all my darts in my basement. One thing about my basement, is my ceilings are low. Tonight I went over to my buddy Zeeks house, probably the best player at this point of my group of buddies.

We were having an nhl playoff hockey pool, and while we were waiting to start, and afterwards for a bit we played a few games. We played 4 games of 3 handed 301 at 5 bucks a game, and 2 games of baseball (the first 10 innings, the second 20 innings). I also played one game against my buddy Donnie which I won. Of the 3 handed games, I won 2/4 of the 301, and 1 of 2 in the baseball. I played pretty well tonight, and was happy, and had alot of fun.

I am not good enough yet to play for any more than 2-5 bucks a game, and actually play quite a bit just for the competition. Really I play much more darts by myself practicing, probably by a factor of 5, than I do against the boys. It’s fun to practice through the week, and then once a week or whatever play against the boys.

As always enjoying getting a few games in and also playing some different than the 301 or whatever once in a while. Didn’t get to play cricket, my favorite game thus far, but played 2 games of baseball also a fun game. I am going to do some research and look to see some other games.

Practicing

Posted by swljuggernaut on April 14, 2009

I am always looking for new games to practice my darts, and the past couple days I have been playing a game I am calling 100′s for a lack of a better name. I found this game by looking for practice games and happening upon pro player, David Depriest’s site here.

So me being a stats junky, I of course started a spreadsheet in google docs that I will keep updated. It can be found here:

The thing I think that has drawn me to darts, is that it is something that I can do by myself to improve. I am a hyper competitive person, even against myself. It is by playing as much as possible, constantly trying to improve, that will help me to improve as quickly as possible.

The background post

Posted by swljuggernaut on March 21, 2009

I am a newcomer to the game of darts. I started playing last summer with my friends, after putting up a board in my newly finished basement. Nothing serious, I would pick up my darts once a month, and throw a couple darts at the board haphazardly, just throwing, not really trying to accomplish anything. I had played very sparingly in the past, once in a while at a friends house if they had a board. Admittedly I am a terrible player.

Last summer I had a bachelor party at my house for a buddy and my friends couldn’t get enough of the darts. I started to play a little more, but still very infrequently and still with not much good results. Starting around XMAS I started to play a little more with a couple of my friends.

About February, I started to play on a pretty regular basis and started to randomly look around at dart websites and look for practice routines etc. This blog will just be a spot to talk about darts, about games with my friends, and my struggles to improve.
