Evening all.
I'm back playing after about 4 years away. I got dartitis and couldn't throw. Just lately I've changed my old thriwing action and I can play now. Well I can throw without yipping which I'm chuft with.
I currently use a 19g set, but in me head I'm convinced if I'm going to improve and be able to give the better local players decent games consistently I need to use 22-25g darts.
So the question is, should I stick with my current set up or do I mess about?
Bearing in mind that I'm happy I can throw with no yips, and I'm slightly concerned that by messing with my darts then the dartitis may creep back in.
Also, considering I've only been playing again a week or so, I'm hitting 140, the odd 180... 2-3 tons on a row... so there are moments of decent consistsncy.
Also, my thoughts for thinking I need a heavier dart is based on the majority of pros use darts between 22 and 25.
Thanks for reading.

Why don't you just try a heavier dart and see how it goes.

Loads of great players have and do use darts 19g or under. It's all in your head.adamss wrote:Evening all.

Think heavier darts help a little consistency wise. But before dartitis i found I played better with lighter darts, particularly finishing. Been over 5 year now and slowly finding I can let them go a bit better.Cant use my lighter darts and play to any real standard but with 28s can put 3 in the 20 and finish ok.Sounds like you have beat the worst of it so just crack on.I wouldn't worry what the pros do set up wise.
