Fab1 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 One thing i don't think anyone knows about me is in my early teens to late teens I use to be very good at Darts and Snooker. Anyway today we played darts with the family and we would call out numbers to hit. Mind you I just took darts back up after 27 yr layoff about 2 months ago and with practice in the shed as often as i can I mustered this today. Some one called out bull one time and double sixteen another. I left them to ponder these.😂🤣🤣 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The doubles are alot easier due to being bigger.I've had a few of both over the years but the planet's need to be aligned for it to happen. Great feeling when it happens.Don't worry I've thrown many 180's then the very next throw thrown a 7,3,15,11 etc feeling like kicking myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackfish Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 I think its like all sports, it's the consistency at the end of the day that counts. My Welsh mate around the road who I have a throw with and maybe have a Beer, he will throw a few 180's when he's throwing against me but I've seen him in a comp game not getting one. Or you can throw some great darts to get down to a finish but end up on Double one .... I'm an expert at that. Bahhhaaaa. We all cant be a MVG.

Exactly mate.Hitting doubles consistently Is key.Any one that plays darts would know just how consistent and accurate Phil Taylor was to win all those Tournaments. It's a great way to help kids with maths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackfish Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Phil Taylor, what a legend. As for the Maths, I'm not to bad but when it comes to finishes I frustrate the crap out of the good players that can work them out quickly. Or if I jag a finish, say, something random like a double 13. I tell them. " I always try to finish on that as its my favourite double" Haaaaaaaa.

We play online canasta and Cribbage tournaments daily. We also do board games and always get a new board game for family to play at Chrissy. Covid-19 has helped bring those pursuits back.

frankS Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 (edited) Used to love my darts and wasn't all that bad at it, won a few contests in my hay day including an Olympic gold medal, bet you didn't know there was such a thing for darts, did you ? . Well it was the Law enforcements Olympics . I haven't thrown a dart in about 15 years now but probably wouldn't take much to get my aim back to something competitive, never was PRO status just a pretty good dart thrower. Still have several sets of darts still in box unused and many used sets. Frank Edited December 29, 2020 by frankS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackfish Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Round 4 2021 World Darts Championships @Fab1 @frankS This game was only played yesterday between Michael Van Gerwen and Joe Cullen. It was a fantastic game with Cullen throwing quite a few 180's. So if you get a chance to watch it you won't be disappointed especially with some very average weather predicted in Sydney in the next few days, not a bad way to spend a hour.

frankS Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Fantastic darts. I thought Cullen played the better overall games but just faltered at the death. If only I could throw half that good I would take it up again, but I think I have to be happy with what I done in the past, too old now to be competitive at any sport, I think including Fishing of late.
