I think that is a very articulate and sensibly worded response on the subject.

Every world Champion has played in the BDO. They do more for grass roots darts than the PDC ever will. If the BDO looks like amateurs that's because some of them are and have jobs like us mere mortals. The PDC would not exist without the BDO. I have nothing against Phil's Darts Club, but the constant comparisons are boring. It's like comparing the EPL with the Football League. The BDO could exist without the PDC but could the opposite be true?

The PDC makes the BDO look like an amateur game from what I watched! Both enjoyable to watch, but seems a different league of player in the PDC if you ask me.

Looking for some darts myself now, any recommendations for some decent ones

these darts are fantastic. Paul Nicholson darts. £19.99 argos

Anyone else want to post that it's out of stock? :wink:

That was not trolling, it was an observation based on watching both tournaments for the first time this year and noticing the differences in averages...how is that trolling?

Without the BDO the PDC wouldn't exist. Yes there is a difference in quality but they're all better than we are, or we'd be playing not talking about it on here!
I play darts. This is cheap, not good. There is a big difference. This link will show you the best board money can find, and it's a good price too!http://www.argos.co.uk/m/static/Product/partNumber/9284535.htm?CMPID=GS001&_=cgid:18091975405%7Ctsid:59156%7Ccid:189949525%7Clid:96720506845%7Cnw:g%7Ccrid:77627774605%7Crnd:13524754883786511894%7Cdvc:m%7Cadp:1o1%7Cbku:1&gclid=Cj0KEQiAiNi0BRDaobaq3dKJhrwBEiQAyVThzQ7VtyfcOzAedwCwrfXiKZagZF0HIU7xaHo0gXfZbTIaAod-8P8HAQ

Out of stock

Looking at some of the womens 3 dart averages, its way way down on the men.

SOLD OUT

Obviously the standard of the PDC is vastly superior but the entire organisation exists to cater for a handful of players. They get the most games, tournaments, lucrative exhibition matches etc. Naturally these players have to put in the hours in terms of practice & dedication.

But I'm not a fan of the some aspects of their presentations. The 'walk-on' girls who just smile and lets their tits do the talking, or the dancing girls on stage. Not for me.

The BDO do the dirty work, lets be honest.

oos

Yes womens darts is painful to watch

That's a tough one to answer! I don't think women are any less capable than men, hell my wife beats me all the time :sunglasses:. It's like motor racing too. I think the issue is that the overall talent pool is a lot smaller as they're male dominated sports so the quality of the women's game could be perceived to be lower simply because there are less people playing so to get to the top level to compete with the men is statisically against females. It's certainly evident in the throws.

Oos

Oh and to all the new dart board owners, get ready for many many holes in your wall. Most of them made by your so called friends who you will swear sometimes are doing it on purpose

So if grass roots darts is all about beer swilling and food eating does a switch to the PDC from 'grass roots' darts help these athletes to decrease their BMI :wink:

Well spotted OP.

Didn't need one but ordered two?!? Lol...

Always thought about getting a dart board just never got round to getting one till now, excellent find OP thank you.
