Book Description: Darts is one of America's most popular participation sports. Estimates of the number of Americans who regularly play darts range between 15 and 20 million. Yet until the publication of this book, there was no readily available source of expert instruction in the skills, attitude and study necessary to the mastery of this challenging sport.
The author, George Silberzahn, is an acclaimed master of both British and American style darts and has developed a step-by-step program that all levels of players will find of great benefit.
Included in the book are an informative introduction by Dan William Peek and interviews, insights and commentary from some of America's legendary dart shooters: Joe Baltadonis, Conrad Daniels, Frank Ennis, Ray Fisher, Julie Nicoll-Jennings, Helen Scheerbaum, Bob Theide, Jerry Umberger and Danny Valletto.
Good Instruction I found great instruction within. I had several minor 'bad habits' to my game. Individually, they may have been irrelevant, but collectively, they made my game suffer. Now, I'm top ten in my league and getting better all the time. The practice tips were great and helped me avoid all the frustration while just narrowing down my spots.
How to Master the sport of darts
Excellent instructive book written by a master of the sport. Genuinely aids one in sharpening up their skill in shooting darts. Jim Crandall Massena, NY
Great book, especially for oldtimers I loved this book, George knows the game maybe better than anyone. His practice routines will sharpen your game, but I especially liked the stories from the individual players on how they got started and played through the years. I'm sorry to hear a couple of them passed away recently. I'm 62 and they are all older than me. I remember playing against some of these guys in New York in the late seventies.They used to come into the bar I played out of in Queens to practice for the big tournaments in the area. I'm not so sure the younger crowd will enjoy it as much as I did. If your an older dart player like myself you have to have this book.
Solid advice with real experiences Great book.
Simple, direct instructions for techniques to improve your game that work. I've been working his drills, and my game has improved substantially.
Also, stories from quite a few dart pros to give you some insights into the world of pro darting.
Concise and informative I just received this book 2 days ago and have already gleaned some helpful insights that I'm sure will help me out of the slump I've found myself in this year. The practice routines suggested seem to be more helpful and realistic than any I've tried to date. I found the Legends speak portion to be interesting, with a few nuggets of "Dart Pro" Gold buried in the personal experience stories of these Legends. I am only a recreational darter, playing on a club league and hoping for a gradual improvement to my game over time, so I'll probaly never make use of all the information regarding tournament experiences. but if you are interested in Tounament strategy and info, this would be a great buy for you. Who woulda thought that the type of shoes your wearing could have an impact on your game? Overall, I am impressed with the Book and recommend it highly.
