It doesn't matter,
1. what darts you use
2. what weight you use
3. what grip you use
4. what size or type of flight
5. what stance you use
6. what length of stem you use

Say what ? all these things IMO mean less than nothing if you don't.
1. Focus every shot
2. Concentrate
3. Practice with purpose.

If you got those three then its okay to pursue the others. If you don't have those 3 things IMO your spinning your wheels . Take that to the bank !.

I agree Larry, I think the most important thing when choosing a dart is that you actually like the look of it, nothing worse than throwing an ugly looking dart!

With practice and focus over time you should be able to throw and shape or weight of dart consistently, or so they say

tellem OG!.

Cheers Larry

Thanks guys.

Yep its true, it has to be because Larry said it!

And to be honest those three thing separate us from the pro's ( well natural ability comes in to play lol) Natural ability and hand eye co-ordination doesn't hurt. all my opinion guys.

I agree with most of that BUT the part about flights. You cant deny certain flights affect how the dart flies. For example, I cant use pears or slims, they have always caused my darts to land flight down and hang very losely in the board. But the rest of it yeah.

Dont think Larry is saying that Fox, he is saying if you dont get the last 3 things right then none of the other changes will matter.

After reading it again, you're probably right...maybe... :P

Ya got it Darren.

For me it's all about feel.. If the the dart doesn't feel right in my fingers there is no way I can produce the focus, the concentration, or maintain the proper practice. Thats why it is very important to try out different sets of darts and flight/shafts combos. Once you have that correct combo going then for me at least all the other stuff just flows naturally. I feel better about my darts,about practice, and the focus amazingly comes on all by itself when you dont have to worry about the physical aspects of your darts. Just my opinion guy's!!

Once ya have the combo hey ! Hmmm I wonder over the years players who have searched and searched and in the end went back to the set up they started with. Heck trying new darts and combo's is part of the fun in darts, I know that. But my point is this if you picked out a set of darts in which each one was different weight , different flight, no 2 exactly the same, the top pros in my opinion gonna beat you ,me ect. with those darts ! Why ? because they have the other three things going for them and the majority of us just don't, at least I don't lol. I know your a very good player Hat but to newbies my advice is still the same. Hey buy new darts and try different set ups (honeymoon) but in the end with the best darts money can buy ya still need the big 3. Focus, concentration, practice with purpose.
