AtomicDarts.com Present: Van Gerwen v Cross [SF] 2018 World Championship Darts and Dart Board Games

 The most common dart board design is that of a clock which is circular in shape, has a circle inscribed on it with twenty segments with the numbers one to twenty mentioned on them in a random fashion which actually has an underlying pattern. The bull’s eye is the small black circle in the centre.

The two most common games are 501 and 301.In 501 a player starts with 501 points and has to reduce it to zero. Each player has to throw three darts and whatever he scores is deducted from the initial 501 points. The bull’s eye fetches 50 points, the outer rings 25 each etc. The player who first achieves the zero point is the winner. However the game can end only with a throw that lands in the double or bulls eye.301 is also played in the same way except that it starts with 301 points instead of 501.Another popular dart game is "Around the Clock". Here, each player throws 3 darts and has to throw a dart in every segment beginning right from 1 to 20 and has to finish with the 25 and bull’s-eye. Players must start with 1 and cannot move to the next number till such time a dart has been thrown at the next target .The first player who hits all the targets and finally reaches the bull’s-eye wins the game.

Another common game is the cricket where two players toss a coin to see who would bat and who would be bowling. The batting player starts and tries at all turns scoring as many points as possible. The standard 501 scoring system is used. When the batting player scores more than 40 points in one go, the number of points more than 40 is added to the player's score. Less than 40 the batting player scores nothing. The opposing player is considered to be the bowler and this player only aims the bull’s-eye. The bowler gets 2 wickets if he hits the bull’s-eye and 1 wicket for the 25 scorer ring. Players take turns until the bowling player throws a dart that scores the 10th wicket. After that the roles are interchanged and the other player has an innings of batting to do. This game ends when both players have played two innings each and the player with the higher score wins the match.

Dramatic Final Sets

Atomic Darts 15 Day Trial... 

How to Throw Darts

By: James Keyes


  

The Grip

1. Be direct and aim. The primary purpose of your grip is to be able be to retain the end of the dart facing or pointing at each stage of throwing.

2. Be relaxed and solid. Your grip needs to be firm and stable shouldn’t put tension on the muscles of your fingers. Your grip is over excessive if your fingers become white as a result of the force being exerted. Also, if you are having difficulty releasing the dart your grip is too tight. Remember that the game of darts isn’t a game of force, but instead a game of touch.

3. Use a minimum of 3 fingers. The more fingers you use the better the control and regulation you will have when you gather acceleration or speed. However, this will make it more difficult to release the darts because you have more fingers that have to be coordinated.

4. The shape of the barrel. Not all types of grips will be functional or suitable on various barrel types. The longer the barrel the more fingers you will have to use to grip the darts. Conversely, the shorter the barrel the lees fingers will be required to grip the darts. You must not only determine the correct grip for you, but also you will have to determine the size of the barrel that’s right for you.

5. Don’t us a fist. You have to spread your fingers that you aren’t using for your grip of the darts away from those that are. If you are using your 4 fingers when you are gripping the darts the smallest finger will join the other 4 which will make a fist. This will cause muscle strain on the other 4 fingers and the result will be a fist rather than to an open hand which is required for an effective release.

The Stance

When a player is aiming, they target the line, set the dart and the eye. When the player throws the darts they need to try to place the 3 control routine of his arm in a plane of 2 dimensions.

The Throw

Be relaxed and solid. Your grip needs to be firm and stable shouldn’t put tension on the muscles of your fingers. Your grip is over excessive if your fingers become white as a result of the force being exerted. Also, if you are having difficulty releasing the dart your grip is too tight. Remember that the game of darts isn’t a game of force, but instead a game of touch.

The weight should primarily rest on the foot that is forward while your foot that is behind will adequately hold your weight in order to ensure that your posture is balanced. Remember that regardless of which distribution of weight you use, your posture must be unshakable and firm. The foot that is forward must remain on the floor constantly. Also, if you constantly are bending forward, you will strain your back. Don’t lift your balance leg when you are throwing darts. Always keep your balance foot on the floor. Keep your body still with your posture while you are throwing darts.

Buying Board Game Boxes

Board games provide the perfect family entertainment with most having an age range that suits the diverse element in a family gathering. Many a times you will be fascinated how board games occupy the major part of a family holidays or picnic. Certain board games will remain special to us for keeps due to family preference or childhood memories. 

Board games provide the perfect family entertainment with most having an age range that suits the diverse element in a family gathering. Many a times you will be fascinated how they occupy the major part of a family holidays or picnic. Certain games will remain special to us for keeps due to family preference or childhood memories.
Although they may not be most peoples first choice for entertainment these days, with computers, Ipods and other modern luxuries, the fact is on the boring rainy nights these board games are always pulled out from the closet and enjoyed just as much when they first came out many decades ago. These are reasons why these special games will always hold a special position in every person's life.
It is not always the child who can relate to the board games' fascination. It actually stretches quite beyond that. Titles such a Pictionary, Monopoly, Chinese Checker, Carrom, Snakes and Ladders, Scrabble and other word games are household names and remain favorites to many. Even down the ages the nature of traditional games has not changed in a while.
Though board game boxes change in design, lamination and upgrading in technological matters, they always hold that special space of significance that their traditional values hold for themselves. They have always been a hit at parties and even young adults or elders come to join in the fun and interaction. Wrapped attention is always found when a particularly entertaining game is in play.
Card games are also popular game forms that have come to be a massive hit through all age brackets. The different forms and shapes that come through the numerous types of card games keep fascinating board game lovers.
Even if we outgrow one kind we will always find something contemporary or revamped out of the old to grab our attention. If you wish to relive those great childhood memories, or perhaps a new type of board game has caught your interested, the easiest and most often cheapest way is to buy them online.

Steel tip darts vs Soft tip darts

The name steel tip darts has only recently been coined since the advent of the soft tip darts. Previous to the soft tip revolution, all darts were steel tipped and were simply called darts. But now th...

As the name suggests the tips of steel tip darts are steel with a sharpened point so they can stick into sisal or paper or even a wooden dart board. The steel tip has had some innovations over the years, like the Bottelsen No Bounce out darts that had the trademark Hammerhead system in the grip whereby the tip can retract slightly into the body of the dart absorbing the sharp impact if a dart hit the wire or staple on the dartboard allowing the forward momentum to push the dart past the obstacle and stick into the board.The name steel tip darts has only recently been coined since the advent of the soft tip darts. Previous to the soft tip revolution, all darts were steel tipped and were simply called darts. But now there are two types of dart game, the traditional game played on Bristle dart boards with the old steel tip darts and the new electronic game that uses soft tip darts and electronic dart boards.
Black widow darts had a similar system called a movable point that also had the added advantage of allowing the body of the dart to swivel around the tip achieving the same effect as spinning shafts i.e. if a dart hits the flight of a "widow" dart that is in the dart board, the barrel can rotate so moving the flight and that reduces the deflection of the dart coming into the board.
Another step forward for darts is the metal used to make the darts today. Tungsten has all but taken over as the material of choice for the body of the dart, with its superior density to traditional brass, the same weight of dart can be made much thinner, increasing the chances of getting three in a bed and that 180 score.
The tips are obviously different for the two types of dart, but the other parts like the shaft, flights etc are the same. The other big difference is the weight. Steel tip darts can go up to 50 gm, but are normally in the 18 - 28 gm range, but soft tip darts only go to 20 gm to protect the delicate electronics.
As for maintenance of your steel tips, be sure to keep the point sharp, either by rubbing the tip on some grinding paper or using the shaped carborundum stone you can get specifically to keep steel tips sharp. If you are really flash, you can get battery-operated sharpeners that can do it for you, guaranteeing the correct angle to your point as well.

Atomic Darts Presents: Incredible Darts Competition and Darts, what you should know

Darts, what you should know.

A brief description of darts equipment ,what materials they are made of, and what the advantages and disadvantages of the darts types and equipment.


The most common dart these days is the 80% tungsten dart. This is a great advance on the brass darts and the wooden darts that came before that. The main reason that darts are made of tungsten is that tungsten is a very heavy material and darts can be made much thinner than before by using it (perhaps we'll use platinum next, boy they would be expensive) What this means is that the darts can fit together much more closely in the dart board, giving rise to the greater possibility of higher scores. (which is what we all want , Right! )


Made from the ore wolframite tungsten has the highest melting point of any element on earth at 3000 degrees C and is incredibly hard. The reason you don't get 100% tungsten darts is because pure tungsten is a very brittle metal and is commonly mixed with nickel to make the dart less brittle and easier to manufacture. The highest percentage achieved so far is 90% tungsten darts, which are very expensive. It is not really worth paying the extra for 95% tungsten darts, if the pros are winning tournaments with 80% darts thats proof enough.
When it comes to the grip on the barrel of the dart there are many types to choose from diamond pattern knurled barrel to plain and now the new edge grip. Just get a design you are comfortable with, try out your mates darts to see what suits you.
The tip of the dart can be a fixed steel point, in which case it can only be used on bristle boards or the new Bristletech dart boards from Halex, or it can be a soft tip which is a plastic screw in tip that can be replaced. It is now common for darts to be convertible, with 2BA threads on either end of the barrel, which means you have the best of both worlds, both soft and steel tip options. Just bear in mind that the largest weight allowed in the electronic game is 20 grams. Thus if you shoot at both bristle and electronic boards, don't go heavier than 20 grams for your barrel.
Next comes the shaft to hold the flights, it should be light to keep the weight of the dart forward and are made from plastic, aluminium, steel wire or even titanium! The only thing to worry about with the shafts is that they are straight and undamaged so the flights are held in place properly. The newest shaft is a spinning shaft, which doesn't spin in flight like you might think, it simply moves the flight out of the way if another dart hits the flight in play. This seems a great idea to me, it helps to protect the flight as well.
That just leaves the flights, which come in loads of amazing designs and materials. The shapes include the classic "kite" design, which are relatively large to the pear drop and all stages in between. Ensure you use the same style of flight on all 3 darts and keep them spread so that there is a 90 degree angle between the four flight pieces to aid in consistency of your throw. Also use flight protectors, not only do they protect your flight; they will keep the flight at the optimum shape as a bonus.
So to sum up, get yourself some tungsten darts, the average weight is 18 – 20 grams. If you want to go heavier, remember the heaviest weight allowed on most electronic dart boards is 20 grams. (You can have up to 50-gram darts on Bristle boards) Nylon shafts are OK to use, spinner shafts are a good idea as well and use the kite style flight if a beginner and always use flight protectors. If you have steel tip darts keep the point sharp for easy entry into the dart board. A simple strip of grinding paper will do. For soft tip darts take along plenty of spares and your dart tool.
