180! (pic) First 180 ever... while on the phone

So this happened.

I was on the phone with a friend, just throwing without really thinking, and boom, my first 180.
Pretty sure it was total luck. I've been throwing a lot more lately, but consistency isn't really a thing yet.
Still taking it though.

Call your friends & keep trowing!
Gl everybody!!

I can’t seem to find the barrel length or width listed anywhere. If anyone owns a set and could let me know that would be great!

Discussion Ladies! Does your period affect your darts?

I've been playing absolutely awful these past few days and kind of realised that it could be my period and I'd be interested to see if it affects anyone else?

PDC-related "He started the season with a 65 average!" – Martin Schindler's remarkable rise to historic European Championship final sparks belief in a new German darts era

Thumbnail dartsnews.com
12 Upvotes

Martin Schindler has gone from almost missing the European Championship to reaching the first televised PDC major final in German darts history, having struggled badly with confidence and his throwing action for much of 2026.

There's been plenty of discussion around his work with mental coach Johannes Lipsius, and the improvement in Dortmund was striking, particularly his doubling against Jonny Clayton.

The question now is whether Schindler can finally start producing those performances consistently away from German-speaking crowds. With the Grand Slam and World Championship approaching, could this be the breakthrough that takes him into regular contention for major titles?

Discussion Surround muffle Sound!

3 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I bought a Karella Silencer and mounted it behind my KOTO BlackLabel Board everything perfect. Nobody hears something anymore.

The weird problem is now when I put my Surround also from KOTO on it the sound is very weirdly muffled.

KOTO Board is 45,5cm KOTO Surround innerdiameter 44,5 (KOTO says 45,5cm)

The surround sits very tight on the board. I have to put a bit pressure on it, that it fits on the board.What can I do? I think that’s why the sound is so muffled.

I was using 40mm points on my darts and was finding myself incredibly inconsistent but as soon as I switch em back to 26mm I am throwing great again but everyone i know tells me the longer the point the better. (Also can I get a rate on my darts)

Cure for a slump

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’ve been playing for a little over a year now. I’m still not the best and practice everyday. I’ve been in a league now for two seasons (currently in 3rd season). The 1st season it would start off as you expect but was gradually getting better. During the 2nd season I was getting more wins than losses however, this current season i can’t seem to hit my marks. I’m in the slump and no matter how well I do at home against the computer, when it comes to live action I seem to choke out. Anyone have experience with this? Would love to get off this slump

Help! What should I buy? Which dartboard would you recommend?

5 Upvotes

I've been playing on my single core for roughly a year, with damaging points and smooth ones and it's in kinda bad condition rn, I've been rotating when the 20 segment starts to look used and now I have some segments that don't hold too good, so for durability I've been recommended Sam 4 and target Tor. What are your takes and experiences?

My current project for hybrid setup is already done.

Custom from used, well worned old Blade 6 after Tournament (given as a gift from pal to training board) to something that I've never seen before. Great decor for room, IMO Centerpiece in my home, prepared for different situations. If you make a Party - I'm pretty sure no one will remain indifferent to this. You can turn the lights on for ambience, bring some beers and just chill with view that makes You proud. It's a lot of settings to pick your favourite light mode. If you're try-hard player and lights or neons might distract you - no problem, I can change my dartboard on standard Target Tor real Quick, turn off background and UV's in one second. My priorities are doubles, that's why I used neon markers to make them brighter and believe me or not - it works. For that money I've spent on it I can't imagine something better for me. From well worn dartboard to something like this - I've searched for a long time to find something similiar but Custom dartboards are in 90% crap and opinions are 50/50 divided. You can like it or not, enjoy that view. Waiting for your feedback guys, GAME ON and see you soon on DC💥🎯
