Queer Eye for the Darts Guy?
I've never been a fan of "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy", but it seems they may be planning an episode that might be of interest to dart players.....
"The sport of Darts has been attracting a great deal of media attention lately, and now there is an opportunity for an ADO member to be a part of the media spotlight. The TV Show 'Queer Eye for the Straight Guy' is looking for a Dart Player to be the subject of one of their makeovers. This opportunity is for a player in the New York Metro area."

Practice routine "Make every Dart Count"
I found this practice routine on John Lowe's site, and I must say that it helps! Here's a bit of the routine, but you will have to go to his site to get the full article. Check it out and let us know if it helps you as well!
To begin the routine you throw at the treble twenty segment of the board, the aim is to score 100 or more, If you cannot score 100 after the second dart as been thrown you throw at double 1 with your last dart, continue this routine until you have scored 100 or more, if you hit the double 1 with your spare no scoring dart then go to double 2, once the 100 or more has been achieved you then go on to finishing beginning on 41, if 41 is finished in two darts the spare dart is used to carry on the sequence of doubles (1-2-3 etc.) proceed throwing at the twenty segment until three or more 100's have been hit, remember after each separate 100 or more has been hit you move to the finishing sequence of: 41.42.43, should you score 140 when throwing at the twenty segment you miss two scores on the finishing routine, i.e. 41 needed, 140 scored, 43 now needed, likewise should you score 180 on the twenty segment you miss five finishes, 41 needed, 180 scored, 46 now needed, at the same time any spare dart when the 100 is not achievable is used to carry on the doubles round the board sequence, you should now have the picture and be aware that you have three routines in one activated.
