How to Win at Darts

Darts may look like a simple game, but the world's best dart throwers have spent years refining their craft. In competitive play, practice, strategy and knowledge of the game can help you become a better player. With effort, you can learn how to win at darts.

1.Obtain good equipment, advises Phil Taylor, a 15-time World Champion dart thrower. Darts come in three basic pieces: the tip, the shaft and the flight, which is the feathered part away from the tip. YOu don't need to buy the most expensive darts, but find professional-grade equipment that you are comfortable throwing.

2.Create a repeatable throwing motion, as consistency will be key to your dart-throwing success. In general, line up directly in front of the dartboard and create a parallel plane from your nose and the target. Lean slightly toward the dartboard, but not so much that you lose your center of balance. Use the mentality of placing the dart, rather than throwing it, into the dartboard.

3.Practice -- often, repeating the same method: lining up the shot and maintaining an even throwing motion.

4.Know the rules of the specific game you are playing and take advantage of them. For instance, if you are playing the classic '01' games, which count down from a number ending in 01 such as 301 and descend to zero, aim for the highest point value to reduce your count quickly. Aim for the triple zero ring (60 points), and not the bull's-eye (50 points), to maximize your point value.

5.Create a game strategy to take advantage of your opponent. In games of cricket, for instance, aim for the highest point values first and then go around the board in descending order until you've hit all the targets. If your opponent is having trouble hitting a target, the better strategy may be to run up points and build a lead. Practice in competitive situations will help you get a feel for the right move.

6.Handle the pressure during tight matches and at the end of games. Don't let your opponents distract you, and use your repetitive throwing motion to your advantage. Throwing the dart the same way each time will help you win.
