    Here's a thought about the difference of scoring during a leg finishing in that same leg...because those things ... shouldn't feel different 'but they are'!….and here's why...Bobby George calls it...
    'Scorrin'...forr' show'!..Dubbles' for dough'!
    Think about alot of darts through a game of 501 are aimed treble 20.…so you get use to.. and relatively relaxed
    about throwing in a single direction...some call it 'muscle memory '...the arm repeating the same movement...but and this is 'key'! Your aiming with the first dart at treble 20, and then trying to repeat!...now here's my point!...when the Doubles phase starts..you AIM at a
    Double ..let's say x 20(tops).…if you miss ...your next AIM if you went inside tops...is different...THATS THE DIFFERNCE..,...different AIMS...with 3 darts.

    Back with intriguing question...
    Do good s great darts players Know why they are..good and great players
    I was listening to the great Phil Cool, are you aware that great t.v.joke sketch impressionist
    Now when he was new to success, he had his own t.v show, one of his many , many
    voices and lookalike impressions was a nervous tongue tied Frank Spencer...hoping you will have
    seen repeats of 'Some mothers do hav'em ...now Cool
    said,that he used to get very nervous before appearances in
    his early days of doing impressions...now one his regular voices and visual copying was Frank Spencer...
    Now what better way hide your own real
    State of nervousness, than to play a voice people in the audience are expecting to be toungue tied and shaky, but he
    went onto day that continually
    being nervous, got less and less..as he used to it.I believe with Cool be naturally gifted, once he got started and saw the laughing totally hearing the
    person that Cool was imitating
    Bolstered his belief that was very good at what he doing for a living...So is that part of the answer.
    You act like your unbeatable, talk like your unbeatable, but if
    back it in consistency, the act and the talk are mere hot air and pointless play acting

      pointless play scting

    rising darting female star of the future Nicole Regnaud
    ...and Alex ..more trumpet blowing here..who did I say
    you should call up...contact ect,.to have on your show
    'The Carribbean Queen Deta'
    Remember that question ,do
    dart players know why they are
    in good form..could they on a piece of paper...write down the reason...well if Deta does cause an upset...will she admit that it was an upset?...,,and most importantly we she be able to tell us why she caused, what others will see as upset

    during 5out 5 wins throughout
    Monday...okay its tues...Paul Nicholsons analysying/commentatong...snd he says this: 'if Darryl knows what it is that he's doing to allow him to throw like he is...I really urge to
    'write it down!
    I was going to leave a comment to Nicholson saying
    'he probably couldn't write anything down, because he probably doesn't know what's
    causing his good form...as I said to you in recent comments.
    But hows this for your next
    content...Ask Darryl Pilgrim onto your channel, and put the
    question to him.
    Do you know why your in good form? ....and would you ever write it down...and what about this as s bizarre this final possible notion....if Darryl was terminally ill...had a twin brother that loved darts , but was struggling for form...would he leave the 'magic of darts' formula ..',to his blood!...his dear 'struggling for form' brother.

    You Matt Edgar ..and none of
    appeared in the comments
    I try to remember what I said but it won't be easy I'll to slowly repeat the work and send it in chunks if memory
    allows.
    I going to talk pubs of the old days legends learnt their skill
    for darts.
    England: The Crafty Cockney
    Eric Bristow known for being a big head..told all his opponents not to bother..because he was to good..and most of the time
    ',He was! Strange grip little finger cocking up, like a posh lady drinks tea...Bobby George would have a big girls blouse as he mimics Bristol grip with hishuge builders hand
    John Lowe ..perfect throw like a clock pendulum..back forward excellent player from Derbyshire..ex miner of coal
    Known as old stoneface..Lazer
    eyes staring at the treble twenty..threw 9 darter live on the 'World of Sport Saturday
    Google ..you can see Keith Feller nodding behind on the final x18...threw his own brand Unicorn 23 gram bullet barrel dart ..pear shaped flights which loaded sideways..pinch two of the four flights together
    Big Cliff Lazerenko very smooth action ..high right hand looked like he was taking a pencil from behind his ear.
    Players like these were putting
    their names on there own shape of barrell..these were expensive in sports shops Lowes darts were£20, that was alot of money in the early
    70's.
    Northern Ireland: Steve Brennan
    Scotland: Peter Mason ..lovely
    Player Captain of Scottish darts team..left handed ..threw
    light darts ..pear shaped transparent flights with thistle logo.
    Wee Jockey Wilson great player, nobody knew how he was able to throw straight darts because he had such a
    Jerky throw, he lent and lurched but it worked.. his use to land in the board like thrown from 10 or 12 feet to right of the board ..Google him and take a look at strangest darts grip!
    Wales: The Cobra Leighton Rees..that what it looks like from the side a striking snake
    Alan Evans Super player regular appearances for
    Wales
    These were the that men wanted to copy when they were drinking and smoking in
    the pubs throwing darts
    Bristow use have pint of lager
    on a table where you see water now ,do did Wilson.
    Bobby George said of Wilson
    'hes the only bloke I've seen that gets better the more drunk he gets.
    So you up and Country thousandd of sets of darts were in the pubs, and probably still are
    The police forces run weapon Amnesty's to get of the street
    Here's an idea ..a country wide Amnesty to round up all the sets of darts ,stems and flights...collect them all up and
    distribute them to youth centres, youth clubs for deprived kids , not accadamys
    some of those children are already signed sealed and delivered to 'Target: Mission
    Unicorn Harrows..Red Dragon
    No who I want those darts to go to is the kids of parents who want be able to put £20,£30 and £60 darts in Freddy or Mollys Xmas stocking
    Mr Howard start the conversation..what are you going to do to help!

    So let's talk some more about
    Do good and great darts know
    why they are good or great
    Do they know why throw straight darts, do they why throw in around the treble 20, sometimes I a commentary, you'll hear, he surrounded the
    treble
    Do they know why they are consistent.
    And many could talk about
    I been having think, about which players might want to
    discuss, and l'm struggling
    I know Eric Bristol, who sadly
    no longer with us wouldn't or
    Couldn't how do l know, because as an eager young dart player.,l say young maybe
    thats not quite as it was, let' say relatively young.
    In around 1984, Eric played an
    Exhibition night at the Royal Concert Hall...25 or 30 players
    Selected through their pub darts team, had the pleasure or should that be ,'in front of people you know embarrassing humiliation of
    toeing the oche against the Crafty Cockney himself...first thing you notice..the blood red
    Shirt with the London copper
    design on the back, an imposing figur, of 6ft plus , I think there was fashion hairstyles of having gold tints
    and if brown haired Bristow wasn't enough the gold tinted
    version carried even more seperation of you the fairly often in the team pub player
    and the Super Star television
    Celebrity of Darts, the chuckling handshakes began
    as the lambs approached for
    slaughter..Bristow was in his
    Standing 3 blade of windmill
    style the infamous 4 fingers spread little jutting out thumb
    control at the back of dart ,the straight thumping sound of well thrown darts began, he punching like 6 inch, and probably could have thrown nails.l0001 down nobody got
    Within 300 of him , 2 double finishes, some lost with Bristow on one Knee, l didn't
    have to suffer that but only while playing him, feeling like
    I might as well in the crowd
    off stage, ever have that dream where your bullets without any
    force...that's how my game, so
    throw harder, the dreaded lateral drift the silly embarrassment being so wide
    I hit a treble 12, nobody applauded, l don't blame them
    an 84 , when done like that!,
    all to soon it was shake hands
    sn relief of disappearing into
    a crowd hole.Bristow guzzling
    a pint of lager..it was a different time then, the photo of Bristow autograph signing
    began, l determined to burgal
    Bristows brain, not in a month of Sundays could l compete,
    so, go for broke, just ask, and I
    ,Eric...yeah mate, what message, you want

    For only playing 4 months, you have a really good throw but never talk while the other person is throwing, bad etiquette that pal.

      @HOWHARDTV Background noise is fine but I always remain quiet when the other person is throwing, it's a rhythm breaker. Keep going though bud, you'll be amazing in a year!

      Was thinking this myself when watching. But it comes with experience probably more of a nervous thing. But excellent darts for only throwing 4 months

    Okay same thing...let's come a bit more up to date
    Martin Adams...Wooooaaallllfi
    Great player... still is with the
    Seniors...Lakeside was his home from home in the 90's
    Bobby George and Colin Murray...remember that double
    act...very funny..very knowledgeable....Bobby
    Wull'...,to be faare!...he wanted
    his mummy...he played a bit
    Mickey Mouse' when it mattered...no not very good
    Sorry.
    Oh! Bobby I think yur' being a
    wee bit hasssrsh! thurrr'
    "No Colin ..It's a big boys
    game ...and Martin..duffed him
    up...good' proper
    Great Character of Darts ...his
    career was very different
    Bursting on to scene in the
    News of the World Open
    Tournament...Google and compare Years with Today!
    So Bobby...what the secret
    of darts?
    " You what,,(,,your worried now
    aren't you,be honest worried for safety... don't,worry stand behind me...
    "I he shall tell you what the 'bloomin' secret of darts is 'sunshine'....getting that down down!,( he's tapping me on the
    head)...and working 'bloody hard!
    What about Martin Adams..England's Captain
    for many years...
    Secret of Darts...Wish I knew
    If you find out...let me know!
    So there you are..Nobody knows
    Perhaps we should go all the way to Phil Cool impressionist
    Extraordinare....'What doesn't kill you...makes you stronger,put yourself under pressure enough times, and over time the pressure esses
    But you have the ability throw
    straight darts in the first place
    I tell worth thinking about talking to Alex....Deta Hedman
    She's strikes me as a very level
    headed lady...and she's seen and been for many years
    Why not call up Deta.

    Alex...they were are look, l am capable of remember your name...do you how you could make your name unforgettable
    to me...I'll tell you how, by you
    campaigning to help the Freddy's and the Mollys...who
    are they are kids are a million miles away from darts accadamys...darts may be an
    encouter they get at school, I
    the possibilities of darts happening as maths lesson
    could be a possibility, I think
    it should be happening now, there's no excuse for not using
    soft tip darts,if health and safety concern.
    But what about the Fred and Molly's living in deprivation, bad parents ect..ect
    This Christmas thousands of
    cheap useless 'so called' starter pack darts ,will be sold
    And loads of will try with 'shoddy' toys fail,not enjoy it, and as consequence put darts
    to the back of their heads, if not forget the experience all together...where is the window
    of opportunity for these kids..how can we put darts on their radars. Like l said when l
    experimenting looking for darts to throw, l had bits of serendipity, l lived in my local
    pubs,favouring the ones that
    had dartboard, favouring more
    the ones that had marked out
    oches or rubber mats with 7ft 91/4 marked on them...this how came by my first sets of darts...from behind the bar..in the main they were rubbish, made of brass 'fat as cigars'
    Then a landlord played me, and l saw my first tungsten dart 21 or 22 gran a small elongated bullet barrell 5or ,6 nurling rings 3,/4 of the way down to the point...part of trouble started when l noticed the points weren't,all the same length and sharpness, then after a while point broke, and l struggled to work out (a) how to remove what was left in the barrel..and (b) getting a new point. I was an eager reader of Darts World magazine by now.
    I saw the mail order darts..l don't know how big Red Dragon darts is now, but I'm guessing they started as mail order darts barrells brochure, with a large choice materials tungsten 80/20 alloy, s wide choice of barrell shapes' and weights...l abused their operation by getting one set for£5 and p&p...throwing it..sending it back, asking for another, sending for, sending back ...after 15 sets, they quite
    rightly said 'thats enough..keep this set, or go elsewhere ...I went to Tommy's darts , you could also get stems(wide choice metal nylon plastic..varying lengths...believe or not there two different thread sizes 2;ba and 1,/4 inch.
    So have those kids got the chance of access to darts ordered for them by adults..l'm
    not sure if that option still exists.
    What do honestly think is happening for kids pre accadamys , where is exposure to a set of decent darts happening....is it .,should
    it..without isn't darts a closed
    club of for informed parents who harbour dreams..a lot financially driven...the pot of
    gold if their Freddy or Molloy
    can be encouraged or coersed
    Is that right Alex?

      Agree with every word you’ve said here! For now I am trying to show that darts is a brilliant game but the end goal would be to start putting sets of darts into the hands of less fortunate people for sure.

    Lets talk about something important, snd like to hear what I'm and champion it the
    good of darts in the future.
    How times have heard people
    like Barry Hearn who wants to
    makes as much money from
    darts as he physically can say:
    its the new way for council kids to escape poverty...and any young girl or boy can try at
    virtually on cost...s board , some darts in the bedroom or
    room or garage ect..ect..
    O.K...thatd bits true...but
    and its an almighty but...
    If l was advising s youg girl or
    boy whose looking at Luke Littler envious of the ',trappings he's getting l'd say:
    Get your parents to ask the barstaff at the their local to ask: Are there any darts behind
    the bar,that have been sitting there unused by someone whos not a customer snymore
    or has given up the game ...or
    sadly may have ',passed away.
    Thats the most economical way to get set of darts into the hands of a potential Fallon Sherrock, Beau Greaves Gemma Hayter, Noa van leuvsn or a wesley Plasir, Gian van Vein, or Luke Littler.
    But thats not whats happening
    Here on youtube the kids are seening £50,£60 darts reviewed ...as saw one recently
    by 'Reel darts...its a dart based
    on Retro theme of the iconic but outdated V.H.S recorder tapes...the clever idea, and it is a clever idea of the symbols that operated the video ...battery going

      If you listen to my most recent podcast towards the end I mention how if this channel starts to make some money I’ll give it back to communities/people who can’t afford to have the experiences I’m having on this channel. And you can hold me accountable to this comment 💪💪💙

      I didn't realise l was talking to Matt Gregory, I'm a massive fan of the Modus Super Series
      With all of the presenting characters , and l'm very glad that happenstance has occurred andI want you to consider
      the following when your in your presenting role, and in discussions with the powers that be at Modus.
      When I was chucking arrars' many years ago 'without' s great deal of success,it has to
      be admitted it was with darts
      that had arrived by the post, l
      infuriated 'Tommys Darts and Red Dragon with back and fro
      'shenanigans' as l searched for
      the perfect barrel..and all for a £5 and postage.
      My point is about the girls and boys of 8, 9,,10 years who are
      pestering mum and dad for darts...l'm not talking about the incredible kids of the same age who are probably already signed up by target or mission
      or 'Reel' the V.H..S retro dart retailing at reasonable price for well healed old fogies to impress their pub team mates on darts match night for £60...now Matt, let me ask you something..Luke Litlers parents 10 years ago...Tommy's Darts for £5 delivered to their council house, or £20 or30 orv£40 in
      little Luke's Christmas Stocking, the Littlers were sentimental...they have more likely thought l was, for suggesting they use their holiday
      fund for their son's passion..the truth they couldn't afford it!
      as the parents of the next Beau Greaves 'wont' be able to
      afford it...social media is awash with expensive darts
      Barry Hearn says anybody can
      afford. the dream...can they ?
      Do start this conversation Matt it's very very important and l'm not hearing it from anyone...what about starting on Modus
      or you on your channel
      I very glad it's you I'm..I hear
      your passion and common sense...this is common sense
      and it applies most to common people..don't missunderstand, my use of common or council or deprivation or poor parenting
      or children's homes or hospitals or prisons...but the future isn't with those already
      participating...and it certainly
      isn't dependant on manufacturers of the darts the
      darts stars throw!

    Alex ...l'm going to be very controversial...with what I'm about to say...and I hope you'll
    understand and forgive me for
    underlining on your channel a
    niggle l need to scratch
    I believe we're in a time where in both darts and snooker, the latter being very apt considering the trip your begining in that difficult sport
    So as I was saying a time the two getting closer and closer
    to being to compete with...and
    beat at the highest level...in both darts and snooker ,'strength' is not a deciding factor.
    I believe this one of the darts ,snooker...and there will be other none strength deciding sports that will follow
    Now the controversy I going by
    saying Beau Greaves is letting her sex down...why do l say that....because she is the closest link to bridging the gap
    And instead of being a trail blazer leading and inspiring girls like Paige Pauling and Sophie McKinley to get the littlers' and the Humphries...
    comfort zones and beginning
    a turtle, a dust up... she's saying she wants use the tremendous gift she possesses to be the top woman..woman...
    It's the equivalent of gathering
    his teammates about him and saying...listen mates..l just want you all to know...starting from now when we play Barcelona...'count me they're too good!..everyone no problem ,happy days, I'll see on
    the bus...but not the Barcelona bus!...now forgive if my ignorance on who the top teams are is lacking....replace
    my ignorance with your up to
    date knowledge...but l trust you hear the point l'm trying to
    make!
