Newbie here (please be gentle)
Hi,
I bought a dart board a week ago for my home pub as I make my own beer.
I haven't ever played before apart from a couple of drunken throws in a pub over the years. The board I purchased is a harrows board with cabinet. The darts that came with it were absolute garbage so yesterday I received my Red Dragon 90% tungsten Javelin Black 24g darts. They have really improved my accuracy but I'm still awful.
The biggest question i have is: I've been playing for a week now. Why am I not at professional level yet?
Darts is hard.

Welcome to the forum
The darts don't improve your accuracy, practice does. You'll get a lot better, especially in the early stages.

Re: Newbie here (please be gentle)
I bought a couple of sets of tungsten darts. I bought 2 sets of red dragon darts. 1 was called Javelin Black and I forget the name of the others. I love the javelins and they were only £17.Seve OB wrote: ↑Thu May 07, 2020 12:12 ami'm new too, my board only arrived today, saw your thread and came for a look.Ashley_E1983 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 25, 2020 12:29 pm

I usually have to hold that kind of language back but seems it's accepted here.
