😂 Doubles are tough to hit

The comment about the throw is spot on. What a lot of people fail to realize just because it looks awkward, doesn't mean it isn't repeatable. Darts is like 10 pin bowling in the throwing motion. Consistency and repeatability is key to shot making. The top pro's in bowling and darts have developed muscle memory unique to themselves.

I started learning things specially the tungsten % and the board spraying water. The best way is to learn from the expert, and legit reviewer like this channel. This are so HELPFUL and INFORMATIVE. DOUBLE THUMBS UP.

Totally agree with all of them, especially the cricket. Being from the UK I've only ever used it as a quick warm up game.

Spot on with 4/5 and you know where I’m gonna go lol If you can grab a point on your last dart so that the opposing player if he throws a 9 mark can’t take the lead Or you have one dart in your hand and grabbing some points so that your opponent has to hit more bullseyes comes to mind Or how about a player who just struggles with 18 which can change your approach how you play that opponent So WW You should do a vid on beginners do’s and dont’s if you haven’t already. My 2 tips are always follow all the way through the dart and beat the board like a drum-seems to me that’s always the common thing world class players always do. Love your attitude and videos!

Okay, hear me out here... You suggested that someone throws for more points to increase their lead by 10 marks. Now think about that in the real world or a real match situation. You're suggesting that a player can add more points with a MASSIVE lead. Look at it this way... a really, really good player isn't going to average 3.3mph in steel tip. So we're talking about a 3 TURN lead if someone is up by 10 marks. If a player is winning by that much then it really doesn't matter what they throw at to be honest. And yes, anyone at any time can bang in a 9 mark but let's be honest, how often does that happen? Also, what you're suggesting is exactly what I said. You can either close numbers or choose to point more. You're also suggesting that we can accurately predict what a player is going to hit and adjust accordingly. Imo that sounds good for debate but it's practically impossible to predict what anyone is going to hit before they throw. I'm a decent player and I could totally miss or I could blast in a 9 mark on ANY given throw. To suggest someone can predict how someone is actually going to play is unrealistic. Cricket is a GREAT game for debate. There's a million 'what if's' and that why cricket makes for good discussion. But in a real match situation I would guess that 99% of all games work out like they should.

Never played cricket game always confused me . and you made me feel better with the lower percentage tungsten not being inferior and equal in quality i play with 85% cause im comfortable with a thicker barrel being always used to brass darts. Enjoyed vid thank you

I'm a beginning dart player, and I didn't want to buy too expensive darts. I choose Bull's Virus darts, 70% tungsten. Simple pencil barrel , rather grippy. Works fine for me a couple of months in. I strongly suspect that generally the type of dart you play with really doesn't matter thàt much, compared to throwing technique.

I've just been browsing through KZread and searched for champions choice dart boards and "Worldwide Darts" was the only channel that came up. So, I watched it and left a pretty lengthy comment for that video. At the end of my comment I mentioned what I do to every new board out of the box. And now after watching this video I have to address... Myth #5 - it should be common knowledge around the dart community what water does to any bristle dartboard, cheap or not. I'm from Hawaii born and raised here with beautiful sunny weather almost year round. In the Islands the majority of the house dartboards are outside in the garage where it's open and comfortable for any amount of people to relax, talk story or pair up and get a dart game going. I have been playing darts since the early 90's and from personal experience over 30yrs that I played I've NEVER intentionally sprayed water on or thought of doing it in the first place. But, I do spray my board with any "silicon" base lubricant. I started using WD-40 first which worked but dried out after a few weeks. Till I saw this can next to the WD-40 that caught my eye with Sealant, Protects, Lubrication and Silicon and read everything on that can and what it was use for. Bought it and never stopped using any other product on my boards ever since. Hint: WD-40 is Water Displacement #40. Hmmm...Silicon, seals what you sprayed from "water", lubricates surfaces or softens the surface with petroleum properties that won't dry out for a while but still remain in the board for excellent healing. The only Con is when removing the darts after spraying the board your tips/points will have residue of the product on it. So, avoid touching the tip until you can wipe it off before throwing it again. This is right after you'd sprayed but eventually it will dry or come unnoticeable when setting up your grip again. I hope this helps you with protecting your dartboards from the elements to soften it for better healing properties...Shoot'em Up!! "HI_TON808" 🤙😎🌴

cricket doesnt have a lot of strategy to it. but i find it usefull to just learn to throw to other numbers (as a beginner)

Personally I like the way you throw your darts because they seem to release with quite a bit of speed and hit the board straight like an arrow. Being a bit of a novice my throw has some arc to it which I'm still trying to correct. I dunno if thats common for some people or if I just have lots to learn but I guess practice makes perfect 🤷🏻‍♂️.

Thanks for the videos, Worldwide. These are fantastic. Btw, re your myth that 90% darts are "better" than 80%. Darts are generally tungsten/nickel alloy. 90% W/10% Ni has a density of 18.3 g/cm3, 80% W/20% Ni has a density of 17.2 g/cm3. That's only 6% difference, not much. If you made a 22g dart blank, just a cylinder of solid metal alloy, and each of them was 40 mm long, then the 90% alloy would have a diameter of 6.2 mm and the 80% alloy would have a diameter of 6.4mm. Somehow, I don't think that's going to screw up anyone's groups all that much. The real difference is that people think tungsten is exotic and they want to buy something closer to 100% tungsten. All that does is make the darts much tougher to machine and manufacture.

@WorldwideDarts

4 жыл бұрын

@@WorldwideDarts One other quick note. To get a kg of 99.9% tungsten bar from China today will cost you $33.70. You pay the shipping, that's FOB cost. To get a kg of really pure nickel metal from Norilsk, the cost is about $14.03 a kg. So 30 grams of 90% alloy costs only about $0.95 in raw material costs. 30 grams of 80% alloy is only about $0.89 in raw materials. Yes, someone has to make the alloy, cast it, rough it out, fine machine it, etc etc to make a dart. But starting with maybe $3 in raw materials for 3 darts, can anyone explain why a set of 90% darts should really cost you $100? Other than marketing and bling and irrationality, I can't. Now, that said I have a set of Monster Helios II barrels that I love, but I got them on sale. So I was only irrational, not completely nuts.

I have a short follow through but still win on my leagues. 63PPR 4)Agreed. But this took me some research on a computer. Take a point lead, then cover numbers....never chase.

How is that "strategy" though? You're choosing to throw at the smallest segments on the board to start the leg off. If I did I'd be luckily to hit a 3 mark or maybe a 4 mark at most. If I start on 20's hopefully I could hit a 5 mark or more. Either way, you're throwing at a target and hoping to hit it. That's just part of the game. I'm not seeing it as strategy at all.

im from the uk and we play cricket/tactics different we do 20-15 but with doubles trebles and bulls that becomes more tactical as you need to choose between the treble say or the score.

in sunny england we play a different game called cricket ... Your either bowling or batting if bowling you only go for the bull and outer bull. Outer is 1 wicket bull is 2 if your batting you need to hit a score over 40 to score then add you score until wickets run out you can set your own perimeters how many wickets or a higher score to score but you get the gist.

Love your vids. Greetings from Germany!!

In the same way that 80% tungsten is no worse than 90% tungsten, neither is brass. I played county A for a decade in the 1980s and 90s and I was always battling my darts. I used brass darts in 1980 when I first played league darts (Pompey Inter Firms) and they flew beautifully. I'm now using brass again and they are so much better balanced. And with the advent of longer points, slightly fatter barrells can be kept away from the board meaning grouping is easier.

I knew you were gonna say that one. Lol

Great video. I agree that cricket lacks the strategic element. I’d also argue that 501 is not particularly strategic either. It requires arithmetic competence and/or memorization of outs. That’s not really strategy. The only strategy involved is when a player sets up for a convenient double rather than taking on a finish involving the bull, if the opposition is not on an out. Having said that, it is more enjoyable to watch.

Here's an example using 501. let's say we're both sitting on 265. I go first and hit S20, S20, T20 to leave 165. Oops no out. Then you step up and hit the same exact shot but only on 19's by going S19, S19, T19. You've now left a checkout with 170. Just because you knew enough to go 19's I wouldn't call that "strategy". It's just something you knew enough to do that I didn't know. Bunch of memorization and knowing how to play instead of strategy imo.

@@WorldwideDarts I totally agree. Regardless of the amount strategy involved, 501 is so much more satisfying to watch. It also requires players to use more of the board than in cricket (more specifically doubles), which is why I’d consider it a more difficult game. I can’t imagine that if the pdc started playing cricket it would garner any significant interest.

Cricket has strategy. It all depends on which version you play. I (in Belgium) learned to play the version with 20 to 12, double, triple and bull. For example if you throw triple 20, 20 and 20. What do you tick off? 1x triple and 2x 20's of 3x 20 + 40 points?

Cricket does not have many strategies, when you play singles if you are in front on points you close, if you are behind on points you get in front first before you close. That being said it has more strategy than 501 which is score as much as you can and leave a finish and try not to leave a 3 dart bogey number. Cricket doubles can have more strategy, especially if you play the rule that you can not begin to score on a number until both of the team have closed it first.

@WorldwideDarts

"That being said it has more strategy than 501" You cannot be serious here? I'm going to take a wild guess here and say "American". You're definitely American right? Let me elaborate on this a bit. Pretend 2 players are sitting with 107 remaining. Player 1 goes first and since they play cricket all the time they really don't have a good concept of how to play 501. So because of that they throw at the 20's missing wide left into the S5 leaving 102. Turn is over as you can't finish 102 with two darts. Player 2 steps up and throws at 19's first dart and throws the same exact miss to the left. The difference is that player 2 knew the "strategy" that gives them the best chances to still win a leg. With 100 remaining they throw T20, D20 for the win. Is that NOT a strategy? A strategy is doing something that will give a player an advantage. Because player 2 knew that missing to the left or right on the 19's will still give them an out is in fact a strategy. The same can be said for MANY shots. Example, throwing at 19's with 303 remaining. 7 19's leaves 170. That's an advantage over throwing at 20's leaving 163 with the same 7 mark. One more example. Two players are left with 181. Player one throws at 20's but is only able to hit 3 singles leaving 121. Player 2 steps up and throws S20, S20 and then with the last dart they throw at the bullseye but hit a 25 to leave 116. On the next turn player 2 can finish on a normal double while player 1 might only get a dart at the bullseye. See, 501 is WAY more complicated then most players realize. Something that so many Americans fail to take into consideration. It takes months and years to properly learn how to play 501. I can teach someone everything they need to know about cricket within a couple LEGS. Don't chase, pick a new number and point when down on points, if ahead on points pick a new number to close or point some more. That's it. There is absolutely nothing more to the game then that. Now to be totally fair an argue both sides of the coin I would agree with someone if they said BOTH games have almost zero strategy at all. You either know how to properly play the games or you don't. And if someone wants to claim that knowing how to play is in fact a strategy then I'm okay with that. Personally I think the examples I listed are nothing more than memorization but they do in fact give me a clear advantage over someone that's not aware at the proper segment to throw at.

I’d say cricket provides more opportunities to effect what your opponent throws at, thus at least one strategic way to effect the game. But, still gotta out throw your opponent in player 1 vs player 2 sense.

@WorldwideDarts

4 жыл бұрын

What do you mean by "more opportunities"? Compared to what? How you play the game is pretty much set in stone though. If I go first and hit 4 20's you now have an opportunity to throw at 19's as you should. If you're up on points I now have the opportunity to throw at a new number and try to regain the point lead. Let's be honest here, it's one of the most simple dart games there is. Playing the game as a player should doesn't make the game more technical or strategic. A true strategy is doing something that will give you more chances to win the game. Other than the two things I talked about there really isn't much more you can. Just hope you play better than the other person.

I was always wondering would spraying water on your dart board help it last longer, but from what I have seen in the comments it’s more about controlling the moisture in the air then spraying water. Otherwise other then moving the numbers every so often nothing else is going to prolong the life of the board. Would you agree to that?

@@tomvincent7616 Again, I never said that the higher MPR will always win. That's not true at all. But... in 501 there's some sort of strategy in knowing how to play the game., Take 2 players both sitting on 271. The first player throws at 20's and hits S20, S20, T20 to leave 171. The second player throws S19, T19 and a 25 to leave 170. One player has used strategy to leave an out while the other did not. BOTH player threw a 5 mark round yet one has a clear advantage by leaving a possible checkout. Is that not strategy? What about when 2 players are left with 104 remaining. That's a realistic checkout isn't it? Player one goes first and misses with the first dart into the single 5. They CANNOT checkout from there. Player 2 is up and throws at 19's and misses to the left exactly like the first player did. But this time Player 2 is left with 97 and checks out by going T19, tops. Player 2 had a clear strategy by accounting for misses as well as perfect shots. That gave him a clear advantage over player 1 who doesn't know all their percentage shots. See, I can physically type out strategies when referring to 01 games but if you read this entire comment section nobody has typed out a clear strategy that will give them an advantage over the opponent when it comes to cricket. Other than the two I mentioned in the video.

​@@WorldwideDarts here is your comment that how I read it means if you throw a higher mpr you will always win. "Worldwide Darts 4 days ago Spot on. If I'm on fire and come out and hit a 4.5mpr in steel tip when I go first there's not much anyone can do to beat me other than to throw better. It's not like a "strategic" 3.2mpr is going to beat me. The only thing that can stop great darts is by throwing better darts." But moving past that to your thoughts on 501 above. 2 players on 271 - You do make a decent argument but based on how you are arguing against cricket what you've described simply comes down to who throws better darts because if the 20's shooter hits a 140 instead of a ton he'd be sitting on 131 likely giving himself 6 darts to get out. Also, because after 2 darts sitting at 231, there was nothing he could hit to give him an out. Where as the 19s shooter after 2 darts was sitting at 195 so once again the better darts gives you the best chance to win. But on top of all of that, regardless of who understands the math best (that is not a strategy in my mind), you still have to hit what you are aiming for. Alternatively, here is a good example, 2 players have 119 or even 123 left. Is it a strategy to throw 19 vs 20 first or is it simply you are not experienced enough or don't know your math well enough to know to throw 19's. Is that strategy or lack of knowledge? In your scenario, the better darts win and saying they both hit a 5 mark means nothing in 501 as it's ppr that is key and your 19 shooter shot a better ppr (101 v 100) Your 2nd point also decent but comes down to the one strategy you said was in cricket. You are throwing in a way to account for misses. Just like your throwing at the bottom of the board strategy in cricket. Throw where if you miss you still have a chance to hit something advantageous. Yes this is a good strategy for lower end players but better players don't plan on missing so it would not be a strategy for everyone. In both scenarios it still comes down to if you throw better darts you will win. You've described scenarios that show a player not hitting what he would have liked to hit. You've presented scenario's where one player hits what they aimed at the other did not. The only strategy you are describing is playing the percentages and that I can agree with. So that equals 1 strategy for 01. To your last comment about no one has added any further strategy, I think how you understand or are using the term strategy may be different then how others interpret the term. But here goes another "strategy" players use. Maintaining a multiple Bull advantage. By keeping a multiple of 25 point advantage it will force your opponent to hit additional Bulls to win. So for example if I get to Bulls first and that is the last segment my opponent can open to point on me and I stand with a 50 - 74 point advantage he will have to hit 3 additional bulls and as Bulls in steel tip tend to be the toughest segment to hit this gives me a clear advantage and by giving yourself an advantage you've used a good "strategy" have you not? Also by gaining this 25+ advantage early your opponent will have to hit a minimum of a 2 mark (or hit a double or Triple) to regain a point advantage and only 1 dart to either mark a new segment or try and gain a point advantage. This gives you 3 darts to either point more or close other segments. In my mind that is a strategy as you are giving yourself an advantage. Still on bulls, another strategy would be to close that segment early. This serves 2 purposes. 1 - it tends to be the toughest segment for some to close so closing it early puts significant pressure on your opponent and gives you a better chance to win. 2 - By closing (or open as some would say) bulls you now can score higher by hitting a single bull then if you hit a single of any other segment. Now this bull strategy is not likely to be used by many but if you hit bulls well it could be a "strategy" used to give you a greater advantage of winning. Cricket is certainly a topic that can be discussed for days and never come to a 100% agreement from everyone. But if your only understanding of strategy is close numbers and finish with equal or more points then the same thing needs to apply to 501. Finish by doubling out first regardless of how you get there. If you want to apply the how you get to the finish in 01 as strategies then you really should be looking at the how as strategies in cricket.
