It’s a new season for NHDL dart players.  I thought I was going to take a break, as I have had a lot of stress in my personal life.  However, I was suckered into playing.  We are in Division 2 (not too shabby), but we played last week and STUNK!  It wasn’t so much that we were playing horribly, but more we were making rookie mistakes; not closing point holes or not pointing when should or could have.  I am uncertain if it’s because it was our first time to play darts as a team or because it was the first week back.  I am confident that we will do better this coming week.

When out playing darts in a friendly game of darts, what is the best strategy to win? I have found that when you start out pointing, it sets the tone of the game and a friendly game can turn into something much more competitive and heated game.

Obviously, everyone wants to win, but when is enough enough? How many appoints ahead should one try to be before it’s considered a bad thing to get points?

I have been at a few local tournaments lately and I have noticed that dart players have a stance.  It’s either toes forward or the entire foot is sideways or at an angle. 

I was told the angled or sideways foot is supposed to give dart players the advantage because your dart would have less distance to travel.  Has anyone else heard this?

I have alson noticed that women tend to “bounce” while throwing darts mor often then men.  However, men tend to take more of a “stance”, being very stoic, while throwing.  The best one I have seen is where one guy looked like he was teetering; feet wide apart, on both ends of the dart line and on the balls of the foot; not the whole foot.  I didn’t see how he could maintain his composure without falling over!

If you are in the Houston area and want to play darts, then come out to Lucky Devils on March 7th to sign up for the NHDL league. A minimum of 4 players per team and at least 1 must be a female.

If you don’t have a team, sign up to be a floating sub.
