Played soft tip tonight with 3 friends.

Most of the night I shot terrible. Just couldn't hit trips very well. But I was lighting up the bulls big time.

Just couldn't miss the bulls. I hit a 6 mark on the bulls and the machine (G3) lit up and said "3 in the black". The Bosnians had never

seen that before. I went on to hit 2 more of those during the night, but I'm telling you, I was lucky to buy a triple.

Played a couple singles at the end of the night. Other then the bulls, my highlight was how I ended the night.

Back to back 9 marks, followed by bull, bull finish. I needed all of those so it goes to show how good the other guy was playing.

All in all, I'm having a very hard time adjusting from my smooth Hankey's (steel tip) to my ringed soft tip Bristow's.

I need to get a custom set of smoothy soft tips made asap.

Didnt someone post a link for soft tip Hankey's?

Pure Darts do soft tip Hankeys - they come in 18g and 20g (I'm assuming this includes the flight stem and point as well) - top 4 items

Yes. Smiling assassin had them custom made from Elven. I already emailed the guy last week to see about getting a set made.

The only problem is that the Hankey's are way too heavy for me. Wish they came in 16 grams. The barrel would most likely weigh 13 grams and that would work just fine.

Not sure what I'm watching, but it's a live stream from Japan.

Japan Pro Tour I think.

Enjoyed watching the matches. There were some good games. Wish there was some kind of schedule though.

There probably is Jake, only I cant read Japanese. The World tour puts their brackets up on facebook, I would assume they would do the same.

There's more. I just streamed the doubles finals on my channel. The singles are on now.

Great job! I practiced a bit last night and was all over the place. The last 30 minutes I was getting killer grouping, but off target

Have you posted a pic of the darts you are using? Also what did you change with your throw?

heres the darts im using for softipm 18g puma elites. As far as my throw goes just changed the starting position of my throw and only bringing dart back to my chin

lol, one day you will be able to kick his ***

Lol. Years ago, I used to wear headphones and listen to a walkman while I was playing.

What is it?

Seems like that person has bought every accessory available

I thought it was head phones, but now I dont think it is.

He has a dart casehanging from his belt and looks like a couple of tip containers each side of the case.

Nice so people are giving it a go then, wonder if they know the oche is at 8 foot or at least should be.

Would be interesting to hear what the people who tried it think about it too.

I play in France with her(it) dartslive2 league the soft tip is funny and we play it reseau with the world

7000 unique player entries in one event? or 7000 total entries across multiple events (i.e. a player is entered in multiple events and each entry is counted)? The reason for asking is that I've heard people question the accuracy of this number before.

If I fly in to Charles de Gaulle, how long will it take to get to La Rouchelle? Would you recommend a train or taxi? What is La Rouchelle like? Is it a big city with lots of hotels, restaurants, clubs, etc?

For the record, the Brits laugh at the virtual suitcases that a large percentage of American players use (i.e. Metroline cases). Walk into a British pub carrying one of those cases and you be noticed and talked about in the same way.

Overseas players have not caught on to the Metroline, all-in-one style cases. The Asian soft tip players all carry their stuff like this...in multiple small cases that are built for different things...dart case, case for molded flights, points container or point holder.

Did the person in the picture have a dyed mohawk? He looks familiar. It looks like M.H. from Hong Kong. If it is, I recall that he also had a small black hand towel clipped together with his dart case and stuff.

7000 players on tournaments multiple levels in simple, in double and in teams....
Paris - La Rochelle 472 km...
Tourist area and multiple hotels to find accommodation....
