Soft tip i've had 4 sets in that time period. |

| I very rarely change darts. I may have aquired a few sets recently, but they are for throwing for fun.
My current playing set is about 6 months old. Previous set was 2-3 yrs old. Set before that was 5-6 yrs old. |

| In ten years I've probably changed darts about 8 times.
I strongly believe that if you mess about with darts every week you will never improve.
Really, you need to play with a set for a couple of years to feel totally comfortable with them (imo).
I've played this entire season with my old darts (I used these for about 4 years), I'm having one of my best seasons so far.

| Always threw with the same set, 30 years I had them. Changed the points to golden diamond points, that night the darts was stolen. I know it was not the darts they wanted but the points!! |

| I played with the same set and newer sets of the same darts for over 20 years then I had a break fr 15 years when I didn't play at all never even picked them up. I startrd playing again 3 years ago and could not play with my trusty old originals. So after a few sets of trial and error I finally settled on Purists Phase 2 but then had those modified to suit mt new throw, I have always been hapy with them but had a fall out with Ed Lowey from Unicorn so refused to use their kit. I now cannot find a suitable replacement for my beloved Purists and have started using them again. As I have been around a while I think my next set will be custom made for me i have designed them already so watch this space for when the arrive.
I play with a lad Ricky Evans who has just gained his tour card at Q school this year and he can pick up any set of darts and play exactly the same with them as he does his own, so maybe you should change regularly. We are creatures of habit bit a change is as good as a rest they say.
I believe it's only the fear of losing or being humiliated that stops us trying new things but that is a shame as it surpresses our natural instincts to try new things. I think I am a decent enough player to play with most set ups as it only takes a few miutes to make the alterations to suit the new weight or barrel shape and although you may not throw your best darts you may learn something from the experience, so don't be afraid to change and experiment with new things as you can always go back |

| i change alot but do go back to one or 2 sets mostly.think if you play a high standard say 15 darters or so alot then i feel you would change little if ever.its fun if like me you play ok now and then but not a top player it gives you a nice hobby and keeps me from drink drugs what ever i just try diffrent darts which i see as no harm dosent mean i am less into darts etc just means i am not happy where i am at and want better. |
