Sharpening darts is a slight misnomer. You do not actually want your dart tips sharp and pointy, but rather rounded and smooth. This prevents darts from bouncing off the wires on your board, maintains a strong dart tip and protects your board. However, you do need to use a dart sharpening stone on your darts when they become flat or develop burrs. Sharpen your darts to take out any burrs that may occur and keep the darts rounded and smooth.

1.Check your dart tips for burrs. Run a nail up and down each dart tip and feel for abrasive burrs. If burrs exist, you'll need to sharpen.

2.Lay the steel tip in the concave section of the sharpening stone.

3.Slowly rotate the tip on the stone.

4.Check the tip to make sure that all burrs have been ground out. The tip should be smooth.

5.Dull the very tip of the dart. If you have sharpened the dart to a point, round it out slightly by holding the dart vertically and pressing the tip against the sharpening stone. Spin the dart in a circular motion until the tip is rounded.

Darts are an enjoyable game that can be played in local bars or in the comfort of your home. The secret to being a good darts player is the ability to be accurate from a set distance time and time again. Professional dart players have the ability to hit specific sections of the dart board consistently, based on their throwing technique, stance and concentration.

Stance
Stance is incredibly important when throwing darts. A good one makes you steady and allows you to hit specific areas consistently. Try to keep your legs straight but relaxed, with feet spread apart so your upper body is supported and less likely to move. Your upper arm should also be held steady as you throw, so only your forearm, wrist and hand are releasing the dart. Do not swing, jump or bend your knees when you throw the dart, as people are liable to do. You are not shooting a basketball--darts are incredibly light objects that don't need much power behind them to hit the dart board.

Concentration
Concentration plays an integral role in consistently throwing a dart accurately. Much like other sports such as golf and bowling, the secret is being able to repeat the same motion time and time again. But the key to darts is you have to make minor adjustments based on where you are aiming. Confidence plays into this concentration element as well. Your body will respond to your brain knowing you will be able to consistently hit a specific target. Of course, this is all easier said than done and even the best professionals have a difficult time mastering this aspect of the game.

Holding the Dart
The dart should be held at a level position with the elbow up at a straight angle. Keep the dart pointed toward the board. Where it is pointing is your focus and intended target. Your grip should be solid but relaxed without putting any tension on your fingers. It's better to grasp the dart loosely then too tight. Only hold the dart with two fingers and your thumb. When you throw it, release it in the direction of where you want it to land and the dart will do all the work. Putting spin on the dart is also unnecessary and will only serve to hurt the consistency of your shots.

Protect and enhance the durability of your dart flights using flight protectors. Darts is a game of skill and is played by men and women of all ages. For serious players, a flight protector can help eliminate damage with a regular dart use as well as strengthening your flight so that is able to be used over and over again.

1.Purchase flight protectors. Flight protectors can be purchased for a small price from retailers such as sporting good stores and online specialty stores. Typically, for a few dollars you can get several flight protectors in a package.

2.Attach the flight protector to the dart. Flight protectors are small clips that are usually made out of plastic or metal. Clip the flight protectors onto the dart by placing them on the top of each flight making sure to cover all four edges. The flight protectors will fit any shape of flight whether it is a soft tip or steel tip darts.

3.Test out your darts using your flight protectors. The flight protectors may alter the way the darts are thrown since they are also used to help with aerodynamics by keeping the dart flight in good shape. This translates into a more accurate hit when the dart is thrown at the target.

1.Ensure that you establish and maintain a correct stance. Align your dominant foot flat with the throwing line, slightly leaning your upper body forward in order to edge closer to the board. Your back foot should remain in contact with the floor, but with only your toes touching. This creates a more balanced style, aiding aerodynamics by allowing for a straighter and more consistent throw.

2.Develop a steady arm when gripping the dart by slowly bringing the throwing hand to dominant eye level. One of the key ways to be able to throw good darts consistently is by having a steady arm. Do not throw too hard on release, as accuracy is far more important than power, and throwing too hard may cause the dart to bounce off of the board. Instead, use a push technique to aid aerodynamics, keeping the point straight and following through with the arm. This involves a flat trajectory and, therefore, a straighter dart through the air.

3.Use thin-barreled darts. Gripping smaller thin-barreled darts with your middle finger, index finger and thumb at the front of the barrel means that the dart should land on the dartboard at an angle above 180 degrees. Thin darts also allow for grouping in small sections, such as the bull's-eye.

4.Adjust the dart in a way that suits you. If you have a small hand for example, you may need to use smaller stems to allow for greater accuracy. Smaller flights (or poly flights) improve aerodynamic accuracy and make the dart more stable through the air.
