“Are you any good?” ARGH! The dreaded question that comes to anyone seen in close proximity to tungsten… How do you respond to that? Rather than get philosophical, I’d prefer to just say no, or a semi-desperate; “I try!”
So what makes a good darts player?
I asked my followers on Twitter this question a couple of months ago and had varied responses from many different people.
Some people keep count of their 180’s. Yes, scoring a maximum is something to be proud of, but unless you score them frequently is it luck or skill? A good way of monitoring your skill may be to keep track of your averages, but then what constitutes a good average? The only way would be to compare, but who would you compare with? No one is going to want to judge their averages on Taylor’s 118 are they?!
