How do you get the perfect game of darts? ›

Although many other combinations are possible, the traditional nine-dart finish requires a score of 60 (treble 20) with each of the first six throws: that is, with the first two shots of three. That leaves 141 to score on the final shot (of three darts), known as the outshot.

A common aphorism in the darts world is that as a game it takes “luck as well as skill”, placing emphasis on the skill element of the game rather than the luck side.

Position the dart towards the target you are aiming for and with your dominant eye focus in on the target, rather than looking at the dart you are about to throw. Top tip: It is important to keep your elbow level as a last step in aiming before you throw the dart.

One of the best tips for getting better at darts is to practice throwing at smaller target areas (doubles and trebles) and to try and hit specific scores on the board. Rather than just throwing darts aimlessly at the board, try throwing at a specific double or treble to help you improve your accuracy.

Make your hand follow a straight line from toe to eye, with your biceps horizontal and forearm perpendicular. "You can lean over the line, as long as you're stable," he says. "Your arm should accelerate and stay straight, with a release point about two-thirds of the way into the throw," Dudbridge says.

A single visit or turn to the board gives the player the chance to throw three darts. By hitting three treble 20s you can score 180.

As a rule, it's better to use smaller, lighter flights with lightweight darts and thicker, larger flights with heavier darts. Generally, the smaller and thinner the flight, the faster and higher your dart will fly. Just like with the stem, you need to experiment to find out what works best.

Take your first dart in your throwing hand and raise the dart to your eye level. If you are right-handed, use your right eye to help you aim, and if you are left-handed then use your left eye. Position the dart to the side of your eye and make sure the elbow of your throwing arm is pointing towards the dartboard.
