WHAT IMPROVEMENT IN DARTS ACTUALLY FEELS LIKE

> Improvement in darts doesn’t feel how most players expect it to. > > It isn’t a straight line. It isn’t constant confidence. And it definitely doesn’t feel like “everything clicking” all at once. > > In this episode, I talk honestly about what improvement actually feels like as an improving player — the uncertainty, the frustration, the quiet progress, and why many players think they’re getting worse when they’re actually getting better. > > If you’ve ever questioned your throw, your progress, or whether you’re going backwards — this episode is for you. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

When Darts Pro Advice Helps… and When It Doesn’t

Pro advice isn’t wrong — it’s just often aimed at a different stage of the journey. In this short Thought of the Week, I talk about why advice from professional darts players can be helpful, but not always practical for improving players who are still building their foundations. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

The Evolution of the Modern Darts Player

Darts has changed — quickly. Today’s players can move from pub leagues to professional stages faster than ever before, supported by academies, structured coaching, and pathways like the JDC that are producing incredible talent at a younger age. But as the sport accelerates, something hasn’t kept pace. In this episode, I reflect on the evolution of the modern darts player — how talent is developed earlier, exposure arrives sooner, and expectations grow louder — often without the same level of preparation for media pressure, public scrutiny, and the emotional side of professional sport. This isn’t about criticism or blame. It’s about asking whether darts has built a clear pathway into the game, but not yet a playbook for everything that comes after success. A calm, honest thought of the week — and a conversation worth having. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Are Darts Brands Going Too Far?

Over the last few years, darts brands have been releasing more and more products — faster than ever before. In this episode, I share an honest, balanced take on what that means for: • Players trying to choose the right darts • Consumers dealing with confusion and rising costs • Local dart shops forced to constantly refresh stock • The wider darts ecosystem as a whole This isn’t a rant, and it’s not aimed at one company. It’s a genuine discussion about whether more really is better, or whether fewer, more meaningful releases would actually benefit players, shops, and the game itself. I also ask a simple question: 👉 Would one major release per year (or every 6 months) be better for everyone? Let me know your thoughts in the comments — I’m genuinely interested in where you stand. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
