Have you ever wondered about the journey to become a professional darts player?
Whether you're a novice of any age itching to play competitively or an experienced pub or super league player, what steps must you take to reach the next level and ultimately the PDC Tour?
Leading pundit and former major winner Paul Nicholson joins host Dom Newton and Sporting Life's darts expert Chris Hammer to discuss the 'darting pyramid', the importance of averages, how to crack Q School and other factors such as choosing sponsors, nicknames and walk-on music.
If you have children who want to get into darts, this video will also give some great advice about how best to introduce them to playing the sport and getting them involved in the growing youth structures around the country.

I think the whole talent thing is interesting because it can take a while to 1) understand the fundamentals of what's required 2) experiment and find your throw 3) consistently use that throw ... I'm currently two months in (hour a day) and I'm just starting the 3rd step of that. I wouldn't say I'm good yet but the improvement along the way has been really encouraging and I'm starting to really feel the good darts as I throw them.

Personally i dont think county should be up there on the pyramid now, county averages look way lower than loads of other amateur darts stuff - lots of guys averaging in the 30s and 40s. Stands to reason too as you need to travel a ridiculous amount to play county - i would have a 3 hour trip to play 'home' games!

Tell him that it’s one of your hobbies you want to play, tell him the benefits - it helps your maths skills, hand eye coordination and is a bit of exercise, if he says no, keep begging until he does

I'm starting my own pro league. We're gonna throw 4 darts per visit. Plus, you get a bonus dart for every 180. 901 is the game.

You absolutely must have a certain amount of natural talent to start with.its not all about hours on the board.

@SurprisedDodoBird-py2dl 2 ай бұрын

I think you can get decent with hard work but there's no question it takes a natural talent to be world class. I believe Littler when he says he doesn't practice. He has a perfect mix of everything from natural ability to calm under pressure.

That is very true.
