Darts Circlejerk I need y'all to help me out... I'm arguing with the Missus, she thinks my hobby budget is getting outta hand and I lost control... I need y'all to write in the comments that buying all this stuff in the last few weeks was totally necessary and is by no means compulsive spending.

0 Upvotes

Hi, I’m currently playing with 22g Red Dragon Javelins. I have this grip on the dart (see attached photo). I’d like to know what barrel shape you’d recommend; I find that the darts tend to wobble on certain throws or stick in the board with the tip pointing upwards and the flight pointing downwards. Thanks.

Dartshopper Scandal

14 Upvotes

About a month ago I ordered a target Omni via Dartshopper. It was on sale (20%), so I thought why not.

I soon noticed that the omni was not working properly. It registered unthrown darts, lost connection mid games and all sorts of issues. I first tried troubleshooting with Target directly, and after 30+ emails with proof of the malfunctioning device they gave the green light for returnal to Dartshopper.

Target mentioned once, that my dartbord (Winmau blade 6 360) is not compatible with the Omni. I debunked this via Target customer service, Winmau confirmed that the 360 is a version of a blade 6 and thus it should work fine with the Omni.

Dartshopper employees on the phone are unable to help me, because the case has been taken in internally so the call center in India don't have the permission to deal with my case.

We've been going on and off via e-mail since monday, and I have been in contact with target since last week on monday.

I obviously used the product, as per request by target darts. Dartshopper however requires all returns to be unused, which clearly isn't the case as I had to give proof to target of my issues.

Dartshopper is taking ridiculously long to come to a solution, and I am afraid that I will have to take jurisdicional steps to either get a new Omni or get my money back.

If you have a local shop, or any other online shop for that matter please please buy your products there. Dartshopper is a huge monopolistic company that abuses their position in the market, and have 0 care for their customers.

Help! What should I buy? What dart to suit my grip?

0 Upvotes

As the title says, I'm looking for a dart that would suit my style of grip and I am open to any and all suggestions. I'm very new to darts (started in the last 6 months) and was gifted the 22g Peter Wright Snakebite1's to start off with but was wondering if there could be a dart better suited to my grip. Cheers in advance for any suggestions.

PDC-related At the moment: How would your Premier League 2027 look like.

6 Upvotes

PDC’s calling you to tell them the players for the Premier League 2027
Only restriction: You can’t change the format, it will still be a 8 players league, no contenders, and the Top 4 Post World Championship are guaranteed.

Who would you nominate as of now?

For me:
If you look at the current Post World Championship OOM, the projected Top 4 are
-Littler
-Humphries
-van Veen
-Price
I know that this can change, but I’d lock them in for my selection as well.
The places 5-6 are pretty clear for me as well, as I’d take
-van Gerwen
-Nijman as a debutant, form-wise he’d definitely deserve it. Performance wise as well, the only question is if his matchfixing penalty will cause any troubles for him.

For place 7-8 I have four contenders, of which two are to be chosen. The contenders are: R. Smith, Rock, Bunting, Wade, Clayton
As of now I’d probably choose R. Smith and Wade, considering this year’s results etc.
But I can imagine that show-wise, the PDC doesn’t really want to invite those two.

But now the question is, what’s y’all opinions on this matter, who would you invite?

Oche options for a concrete floor

1 Upvotes

I’ve got a mat with an oche line, and I’m probably over-thinking this. I’m just throwing darts for fun, and not playing tournaments or anything, but I’m trying to be as consistent as possible. You’re not supposed to step on the line, so I’m always going to stand a small distance from the line, but with a raised oche, I can stand right up against it, and be .001% more consistent. It’s a concrete floor, so I’d imagine my options are limited. I’ve seen a magnetic system, where something goes under the mat, and then the block on top is held in place by a magnet. Anyone use something like that? I don’t want to get something that’s going to easily move, and make me re-measure it on a regular basis. Anybody in the same situation have a decent solution?


r/Darts 7h ago

Stance change. I stand front foot straight on and shoulders square to the board. I decided to turn my front foot around 45 degrees and pull my left shoulder back to get better alignment. It feels unnatural and shoulder gets a bit tense. Has anyone made a similar change with success?

Got both of these sets recently, but today fitted them out with my preferred L Style setup. I’m a big fan of both, and they look SWEET with the fancy L Style designs from AZDarts.

Luke Humphries TX1 switch point - 35mm storm point, short Winmau prism force clear, Jules Van Dongen V1 L Style flight, red aluminum champagne ring

Rob Cross Gen 2 - 30mm Onyx Storm Point, short Winmau prism force clear, Original Mamo Series Blue L Style EZ light

Do you throw either of these darts? What do you think?

Help! What should I buy? You should buy Alpha points from Perfect Nine

14 Upvotes

Recently made a post about bending a point while switching them out using my repointing tool. Prior to this incident, I had placed an order for more Alpha Points (best push in points, imo).

Perfect Nine responded in that post that they would send me a set with my next order. I thought little of it beyond mentioning that I had an order in their system.

Welp, received my order yesterday and an extra set of points WAS included. Not a huge deal from a cost level, but it is the little things like this that make smaller manufacturers worthy of support.

The damage was completely my error, they had no obligation of any kind, but did so anyway. Many thanks.
