Re: Darts Quiz Question #25
ANSWER: Very good guys, this was a new one on me but the answer is : False. A perfect darts point should be rounded to look just like the end of ball-point pen. A rounded darts point will slide off of the wires, instead of nicking the wires and rebounding. Rounding your darts points will greatly reduce the frequency of bounce-outs. Some darters feel that they should never "sharpen" or touch-up their dart points at all. Unfortunately, natural wear on darts points will not leave the points round, instead they will become flat on their ends. A flattened dart point is even worse than a sharp points A flat tip will nearly always bounce off when hitting wires, as they cannot slide to either side. Such a flattened or very blunt point will also crush a dartboard's fibres so the dartboard soon becomes very hard, eventually becoming too hard for darts to stick easily. The next time you see a darts "sharpening stone", remember it should really be called a "Dart Point Rounder". |
