we had a funny conversation at darts the other day that the smaller player uses a lighter dart ?? a current pro also
told me that in therory shorter players would play better with a lighter dart ??

i have come to the conclusion that i cant really throw that well with anything over 20g and gone back to my original weight
of 18g now took me a few weeks and some terrible perfomances with the hamiltons to realise it

what are some of your views guys ?? ( im 5"8 by the way lol)

cheers lion

Don't blame it on the dart lol 6 ft

Taylor shoots 26gm and under 6ft

Personally I think that idea is rubbish - most of the lady players use heavy darts regardless of their height. Bunting's not exactly short and he uses 15g darts - Taylor is only 5'8" from memory and he uses 26g darts.

I agree 100%

Hankey uses a very light dart....just go with what suits you....I reckon

Totally agree, I don't think height/ weight ratio makes any difference, it boils down to personal preference and what feels most comfortable to throw, weight, shape, length, grip, stems, flights etc.

damn Bov and Rebels sigs are awesome

Yeah its not your build or heigh that dictates the weight of the dart but your throw and what feels comfortable to you.

yeah i dont agree with it was just a funny conversation we had. we had a bloke playing for us using 29g darts hes about 5foot 2 at most and he strugled to reach the 20 but playing after he was tryng some 22g darts and he was playing well lol
