As a beginner, this is an EXCELLENT warm up. This helped me tremendously in my game!
Glad it helped!
180 ,"Thats a good start" 😂😂😂😂 legend
I really enjoy the clean, uncut way you show your routine. My goto dart learning ressource on youtube at the moment. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just wanted to say thank you! you have been my source of inspiration on my darting journey. Cheers to more awesome videos!
Great routine, thanks for sharing this... I was reading a John Lowe book the other day and one of his tips addresses something most of us do as darts players... We say to ourselves when we throw a bad dart "Oh that was terrible" or similar... Try to replace that negative self-talk with only positive or neutral self-talk, because a) you won't feel so bad when you have a bad dart or bad walk to the board and b) You'll begin positive re-enforcement to yourself and your throw... I say to myself "Oh that felt good" or "I threw that well" if it hit the board nicely but just went astray, or I'll say "Arm straight and push" so I gently remind my body what I want to do, but it's not negative... It's hard to do but give it a try, great channel and tips 🙂
I like your enthusiasm. Darts is pretty much all I think about and how to get better. My fiancé says she sometimes wishes that she was a dart board how much I love my darts 🤣 My dad was supposedly up there with the greats and often compared to Phil Taylor in terms of ability but he passed away when I was 7 years old and I am now 35. I guess the game helps me feel close to the dad I never got to know as an adult man. Keep going and keep posting I found your video to be quiet helpful man so thank you and keep doing what your doing my dart comrades 👍🏻
I appreciate the feedback!
Great story about your dad! Keep shootin’ Luke 🤘🏻
I need to buy three sets of darts now
Ha
😂
I have 8 sets 👍
@@jamesgalangrafanan6398so do i…and its killin me bc i DO NOT ever just stick to ONE….i always think “i bought those other darts and havent used them in a while, maybe ill throw better w them so lets try” 😂😂 then i randomly use 2-4 of the 8 sets i have at them moment as well.
@@jamesgalangrafanan6398 Assalamu'alaikum!
Thats wonderful James. You know Darts in the real world is not based on luck because you have to develop a touch and become familiar with how the darts fly. With GamePigeon darts, you swipe the screen and you have no idea how hard the dart will fly because you don't have any reference point in terms of how the gravity will effect the dart and the ark it follows. There is absolutely no form involved in throwing the dart. therefore, it is much more based on luck compared to a 8ball. I must admit that real pool requires more skill but the GamePigeon version still requires much more than GamePigeon darts. You have to actually predict the path the balls will take. Also, if you add an alternate spin to the ball, it adds a whole another dimension to the game. There is also measurable force that you can hit the ball with by considering the amount of pullback that you put on the queue. In conclusion, the GamePigeon version of darts takes much less skill than GamePigeon 8ball and there is a larger opportunity for there to be a skill gap between players when playing 8ball.
Awesome video. Also like to note Hearing you take a breath before you throw is great. I have a habit of holding my breath right before i throw.
Thank you for posting this waiting on my first ever dart board and darts to get here so I can start practicing, my best friends got me addicted and had me play for the first time 2 weeks ago thank you for taking the time to make these vids
You got it! 💪
Hahahahaha Same Bro Same
Waiting for My First eher dart Board
Same..im happily addicted to darts. I been playing for HOURS every single day its insane (friends think im a pro bc ill be at the bar & throw for 6 hrs no sitting etc lol)
I will definitely do the outer practices going around then eventually do the triples as well
Bunch of really good advices in this video. For someome who started playing darts "seriously" just recently, these advices are gonna come in handy, thanks!
I just hit my first 174 yesterday. It was a great feeling :) I tried going for T20 three times but blocked it real bad so I went for T18 instead as it is in upper position as well. I was super excited to hit the last dart.
Good stuff 👍 my routine is warmup : take out various 2dart combofinishes e.g 62,64,66,68 2) play 5 legs of 301, finish in 12darts or better
Good stuff
just found this channel thanks so much for content i subbed because i suck and i appreciate any tips you have for us .
Thank you, I finally want to really improve at darts and your videos help a lot!
Glad to hear it!
Thank you for inspiring warm up routine (work out) i needed to do something else, and this Is going to push me one more step forward. ;)
Good to hear... keep up the practice, I appreciate the feedback.
Nada supera el SISAL y el ACERO del dardo. HACER 180 con los dardos es lo MEJOR!!!
Great drill, I do this as a points system too (1pt single, 2 pts double & 3 pts triple). Good way to keep track and try to beat your high score
Good stuff!
Thx for the helpful tips I was already doing the exercise warm ups in doing the 3 darts per cricket number but I don't continue to the next number until I get all 3 at one shot then I move to the next
It's a good practice to do the best throw.
thanks for the content ! appreciate the great tips on getting better. i have recently bought a dart board and i love it ..
Great to hear!
Hey man, new sub. Those are terrific drills. I'll start those this evening. Really good presentation style, btw. Cheers
thx
Excellent video. Thank you mate!
Glad you liked it!
Got my first dartboard yesterday, realy helpfull vids thanks from the Netherlands
Glad it helped!
its interesting how big your T, D and bull are on that board. Nice video :)
Great video, thank you Dave as always.
I recently had a couple of days when i was able to throw for hours. All was well until the following day and I felt my shoulder "acting up", I believe, from the repetitive motion. Two questions: 1. have you ever experienced joint or muscle soreness? 2. How long have you been playing consistently?
Lastly, thank you for all the vids and for being so faithful in replying to my previous comment/questions.
Sean
I don't like playing for more than 2 hours... unless it's a tournament and even then, it can be hard to stay focused. I haven' t had any muscle soreness. I've been playing consistently for 4 years now.
I appreciate you replying. I have taken three days off and plan to play again in a few days. Having been a rugby player and serious body builder it seems funny to say I have a dart throwing-related-injury ... but it really is the case!
1. I appreciate your excellent channel
2. I appreciate your replying
3. I will keep doing what I am doing after a few days
4. I will keep enjoying and learning from Ironman Darts!
Thank you, Sean
@@TheSean7564 could be the rotator cuff, I had that problem before too
Thank you for all the great videos ..i recently started following you and want to improve my game...i suck rt now but looking for improvements...
You're welcome... I hope I can help you get on track!
Thats a good routine , it's similar to one of mine , I will modify mine now. I liked the fact that you did it in real time. Muscle memory and rhythm.
Glad it was helpful!
@@IronmanDarts do you have any tips on how to work towards controlling elevation the height of the dart ? It's a real bug bear of mine...
Another outstanding video. I noticed you stand at the oche in the same place and don't move side to side for each number except for the 15. Makes more sense than my moving with every number, thanks for the side tip. Keep up the great videos. Thank you so much!
Thank you!
I’m a steel tip thrower however the throwing techniques are pretty much the same. I just watched your video where you talk about stance, lining up your throw, follow through and positive attitude. Well done! In this video, maybe because of the different camera angle, it seems that your follow through is less pronounced and more inconsistent than in the prior video. Good routine when warm up time is limited.
Its,how I relax,I play daily, I hit bull eye regularly, it's funny I can't read small ,wordings ,with out my glasses ;but I can hit center,a lot I wish I could play in tournaments, $ 😊,happy new year,thanks it made my day,to cold out door to p. Today
This guy is good
Thank for the tips.
Happy to help!
I'm only liking and subscribing to see if you do. You can do better I believe in you. Style is on point BUT I just can't get over your equipment
Ok
Nice routine. 👍🏼
Glad you liked it!!
My game has fallen off so bad lately.... Nice routine. I'm going to give it a try.
Excellent!
Damn the trebles are so big on these kind of dart board's.
This is a soft tip board right?
You have a nice routine, personally I practice on doubles alot more.
Thank you for this video, I hope 1 day to see playing at darts tournament.
I appreciate ya, thank you.
french dart enjoyer thx for posting ur routine :)
My pleasure!
Thanks Dave for this, really useful for someone like myself just starting out
Glad to hear it!
@@IronmanDarts I play virtual matches against the CPU on my iPad and use the scorer app, so beneficial, got some free time soon so I’ll try this and keep practising, got a good stand for my dartboard too 👍🏻
Thanks you for this kind of video which are very helpful! I can't wait to heal from my injury to play darts again.. almost 6weeks now... I definitely do that routine to get back on track quickly.
Thanks 🙏
You're very welcome! Good luck on the recovery.
love this video
Thank you.
I do the same but I throw 3 at each number, and add up the total- 3 for a trip, 2 for a double and they only count on the number your throwing at 20-25 is my normal- im a part timer, but it gives me some feedback that I can use with the score
It’s much easier to hit your marks when you’re not talking and teaching. Great darts and great practice routine.
I’d much rather gain confidence in a practice like this rather than in a bunch of blind draw tournaments.
You don’t learn as much playing in tons of tournaments compared to isolated practices.
Great job brother! Liked and subbed. I love how deep your voice is too; reminds me of Sam from Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell
Welcome… are you a soft tip dart player? Or do you play more steel tip?
@@IronmanDarts I've actually only played a few times in my life. I unfortunately have some sort of muscle condition that doctors can't figure out so the last time I did play darts, I had sore muscles the day after for a few days... That's why my channel is limited to the instruments I play because I'm not really a fan of wind instruments anymore and drums are tough for me too but luckily piano isn't so bad on my muscles and that's my best instrument so that works out well. But I enjoy watching darts and can't wait for the upcoming tournament world championship thingy lol, but I also enjoy your videos so if I ever did try darts again, I at least know a great routine to practice to!
@@IronmanDarts which would be easier for my muscles? Soft tip? Either way, the muscle movement is still there so even if I had nothing in my hands, doing that motion would probably mess with me unfortunately.
I throw 6 or 9 a lot. Like you said, get that muscle memory
Hey there, great informational video, this routine has by far improved my accuracy, i was just wondering if there is any reason you throw the plastic tip darts? Are there any benefits to this? Currently i am using steel tip but am 100% open to new options, thanks again for the great video! Cheers
My local and regional league is soft tip only, that’s why.
Your videos have reached Rothera Research Station, Antarctica. 25 of us are wintering out here and 7 of us are watching your videos to learn and get better against eachother through the winter period. Great job 👏 😂
That is awesome! Tell me more about who’s there and who’s the best dart player?!
@IronmanDarts I am out here for 16 months. Arrived December 1st 2022 and leave April 2024. We have dart boards here and quite a few of us play darts, we not good like you though haha but your videos are easy to watch and great explanations. We are at the Rothera Research Station, Antarctica for the British Antarctic Survey, on the Pennisula part closest to Punta Arenas on Adelaide Island, Rothera.
@@loganlion2079 Do you have a GranBoard or DartConnect? We could arrange a game or two and put it on CZcams?!
@IronmanDarts we don't have it yet but what I can do is ask our I.T guy out here and see what we can do. That would be brilliant. It's something I want to get into more when I return to the UK. Shall I message here once I know more and try and set something up or Facebook or?
@@loganlion2079 message me on Instagram.
Awesome video, I’m definitely adding this warm up routine to get me going. Do u have a preferred tip for your darts? My farts seem to fall out of my board way to often, I’m looking to order new ones. Thanks and love the content

@@IronmanDarts awesome thanks man, just need to check if they are 2ba size and I’ll be ordering them 🤜🏻
Loved the video! can you make a comparison video of boards? currently i only have a normal steel board, and i would love to know your opinion on durability and preference on which board to buy
I only have one steel tip and one soft tip board that I used daily. I'm not sure I have enough examples to provide a fair analysis of different boards. Does that make sense?
Good routine
Thank you 😊
thanks for the tips..i'll add this routine during my practice session..
Sounds great!
Love your videos, I have noticed in previous videos you mentioned to follow through the board with the dart. Here it looks like you're flicking the dart! I guess in time you have changed your way of throwing?
You are correct
ngl, i've never seen a dart board like this, pros/cons to this kind of board to a "normal" one? :3
I'm backing this guy to win the world championships. Even MVG & Price cannot beat a guy with 7 darts
Ha
Nice✅
This is what McNulty is doing these days? Ha, surely you have had that lookalike a few times before. Great vid as always - found your channel recently and been going back over your tips as try and get back into darts for first time in years. Got to get those hours in.
First time with McNulty. Thanks for watching and I hope you subscribe. If you have, thank you!
McNulty the firefighter Vancouver airport? If yes, I see the resemblance :D But it's about 12y since I was at his house last time for a BBQ
@@mzmagister Ha maybe just me then! I thought was pretty apt as obviously in this instance we would like to avoid 'the wire'. Will stop the dad jokes now! In any case great vids - have found the tip about imagining throwing through the double to improve the follow through has made a huge help.
Hi my partners asking where the board is from plz
I have only ever played steel tip. There are not many places where I am in Eastern Canada to play on an electronic board. I use 22 gram harrows, but they would be illegal on your board and I would have to go to a 19 gram dart. Not many people stack with steel tip, their darts usually land with the flight higher than the point. I use short shafts and smaller flights that allow my darts to stack like with the electronic board. Would love to start playing soft tip. Don't listen to your naysayers, your advice and routine are great.
Thank you. It's all good about the naysayers... it doesn't bother me!
GREAT doubles battle we just had! -tinman
Sometimes it’s not about winning … it’s about practice … so today I was just trying to play my doubles with no intention on winning. I appreciate you playing along.
@@IronmanDarts I love doubles. I play only doubles pretty often. If you ever feel like practicing again challenge me, I'll give you some DI/Do split bull reps as well.
Thanks
Welcome
Hello sir, thanks for your videos. I'm quite new to darts and I wonder, why do you play with soft darts? To me it feels so much more satisfying with steel darts and a bristle board
We don't have Steel Tip boards locally. Bars don't have them here. I do play but only at home.
@IronmanDarts have you a Excel training plans (time per day, different training etc..) ? I think is a good idea 🎯😁
I don’t… it’s all in my head.
thanks
Welcome
Great video.
Would you say it's necessary to use 7 darts for these drills, or would it still work when going back to the board every 3 darts?
You don’t need 7 darts. In fact now, I only use 6 👍
My first video of yours! I like it!
Sorry if it’s a standard thing but I’m new to the game…
What’s with the plastic dart tips and board? Is than standard to practice with this set up?
You can play both steel Tip and soft tip, I have one of each. The soft tip board is bigger with bigger segments, and the steel tip board has smaller segments. There’s also a different distance that you throw from based on the board.
Thank you, will be practicing this drill.
Are you using the same style/weight darts for practice as you use for match play?
I've been using 6 of the same low grade darts for practice just to get consistency, but they aren't even close to the same as my match darts.
Yes!
Great routine. Steel tip player myself but video is really helpfull. Wouldn't mind seeing more video's of you with tips. Doubles Training, triple Training, antything really. Keep up the good work!!!
I am seeing this for the first time, it seems to be a good routine. Before I start practicing this, are you using the same weight for all 7 darts?
Yes, I use the same weight darts but now I'm down to 6 darts :-)
I do the same routine before gametime
Good to hear!
I had play dart for many years. It look great training in dart. I play steal tip darts. another good tip play checkout. start on 41 work up 170 good memory game
Do you start with 41 points and you try to finish with 170?
@@IronmanDarts 41 checkout single double 20 or single 9 double 16. another 99 treble 19 single 10 double 16. 101 treble 17 bull. treble 20 single 9 double 16
Hi Dave, do you use the same weights for both plastic and steel tip darts? thanks, Mike
As close as possible.
I recently bought a cheap softtip dartboard, i realy like it but the darts bounce a lot.
Your board doesn't have that problem, wich board is it?
This is the Granboard3s... link in the description on all my boards and equipment.
What soft tip board is this? I can only find the Franklin board for soft tips that’s isn’t electronic.
Granboard... link in description.
Do you know that your triple and double fields are double size comparing to boards we have in Europe?
Yes, that’s because I’m using a soft tip board in this example. I practice exclusively on a steel tip board when I practice now.
Enjoying your video's.
Those soft tip boards are so loud. Couldn't you pop four washing-up sponges behind the board, to make it quieter?
Not sure… it’s worth a try.
@@IronmanDarts my bristle board is in a cabinet, so it was very noisy. Then i pushed four washing-up sponges behind it, spread around the edges of the board, and now it's very quiet.
What’s your board / darts combo? I’ve got a Gran board and my darts don’t stick like that
All my darts and supplies in description 👍
Not on the subject, I didn't know about rotating the dartboard, now my 20 looks like a bubbled mess and the 5 and the 1 are becoming damaged. The rest of the board is ok. It's a Unicorn Striker which I have had for almost two years. I'm wondering whether I should get the Gladiator 3 soon or wait until my board is in really bad shape.
It's an easy fix... rotate the board and realign the outer ring of numbers on a clean segment? Or just a new WINMAU board like mine for $100-$125 --> Winmau Blade 6 Triple Core Carbon Professional Bristle Dartboard amzn.to/3PBuOrl
What is your opinion on throwing weight. Especially given this technique of practice. I have multiple sets of Darts at least five all of different weight. When playing I start out with my heaviest in progress to my lightest am I making a mistake?
Find one weight and stick with it.
Great video. Are you aiming with you eye? Or how do you aim?
Eye and dart.
Do you stand in the same spot for every number on the board? Or adjust back and forth?
Adjust 🤙
So i tend to shoot to the right what would you suggest I do to correct it
Look at your elbow position… is it pointing right or is it 90 degrees?
No hate at all with the soft tip but can I ask why you don’t just practice/play with steel tip? Great tips btw I’ll add this to my practice routine 👍🏼
Because I never play steel tip in league or tournaments… at least not yet. Plus we don’t have steel tip boards in my area/city.
Thank you for this Routine. I started with dart and iam searching for nice training routines. Now I have a question. Can I use 7 Darts with the same weight but with different Barrels, because I don't want to spend so much money an buy 7 times the same Darts. Or should I do this routine only with 3 darts ?
Thank you
3 darts is fine … and Darts are fairly inexpensive when compared to other sports hobbies. Treat yourself!
Is it best to practice on a electronic board? I am building a case for my board I just got.
It's best to 'practice' on anything :-)
Im new to darts so i dont have any place telling you what to do but maybe you could try going left to right instead of bottom to top that might leave more room
Ok thx
actually in cricket darts you start with the highest possible point value which are the triple numbers starting with the 20 then follow down suit to the 19,18,17, and so forth. saving the Bullseye for last. This guy's routine is not correct, during a match you only get 3 darts at a turn, not 7, so it is much better to just keep it on point with the 3 dart throw.
What kind (brand) of board is that you have, the ones I've had before, the darts fall out to much, that's why I went to steel darts, thanks for your time
GRAN BOARD 3s LED Bluetooth Dartboard: amzn.to/3qwne3K
I have injury on my upper fore arm after i throw some darts is this normal for the begginers like me?
I wouldn’t think so.
How far from the board you have to be to throw the darts I mean feet behind the line?
Regulation distance from the dartboard face is 7' 9-1/4" for steel tip darts and 8' for soft tip darts.
Good routine. Strange dartboard. Is there a reason you use this type?
Are you new to darts? This is a Soft Tip board.
Can you recommend a good electric home dart board?
Yes, GRAN BOARD 3s LED Bluetooth Dartboard:
amzn.to/3qwne3K
What kind of adjustments are you making when you throw the darts from say 20's, to a grouping of 19s? Or from left to right? Do you just lower or raise your arm, or adjust the horizontal positioning, while keeping your arm at 90 degrees? Have seen a lot of videos on CZcams but haven't found one that addresses this topic.
Great channel btw and great advice!
It's hard to explain... but watch me play Cricket and see how I adjust... it's very small movements.
Hi, where can I buy/Find the magnetic dartboard that you use? Thanks a lot

What dartboard is this you are using in this video?
Granboard.
Do you use the exact same set of darts for all 3 rounds? (Weight, shaft, flight)
Yes
What’s the average weight should I be throwing for plastic tips.
17-21 grams
Hey. Great video. What kinda dart board is this? What is it made out of? Why does it sound like its made of plastic? Im a newbie and just genuinely curious.
Soft Tip… see links in description Thx
@@IronmanDarts Thank you so much kind sir.
I have gotten some pain in my elbow the day after darts, I think I maybe overextending. Any tips?
How long did you throw?!
@@IronmanDarts 60 minutes
I really like that Routine but i realized your Doubles, Trebles and Bull is almost Double the Size as mine. I got a standardized dart machine.
You must have a steel tip board.
I take it all the same darts? What's the thought process behind using 7 darts a throw instead of 3?
More reps and developing muscles memory. It’s very NON traditional.
Nice informative video, I also do about the same warm ups. Lately I have noticed pain on my arm/bicep (throwing arm) any idea why?
I’d have to see you throw… it might be totally unrelated?
@@IronmanDarts wear a sleeve, helped me big time. Rest and rehab is all that will help now. But when feeling better, wear a sleeve.
