Hi George,
I got the new book in the mail last week and have already read most of it twice-over.  It’s everything How to Master… was and then some.  Great stuff.  I wish I had the cash to buy it in bulk and hand it out to all the people who I know who play darts with any interest.  Heck, if I was a rich man I would buy enough for every member of the Massachusetts Minuteman Dart League.  Anyway, that’s all for now.  Take care.

Best, C. Keen

          

Sharpeners, extractors, cases, backboards…the list goes on & on & on, but I have never seen a book about Darts that I would classify as a “Tool of the Trade” until now.

After reading George Silberzahn’s new Darts Beginning to End I find that it needs to reside in my Darts tool kit rather than on the book shelf. If I have a viable question on any aspect of Darts, this book has the answer. Sounds like one heck of a tool to me!

Congratulations George, you have seriously hit a Grand Slam Homerun with this one.

I have found “DARTS Beginning to End” to be the best book I have found for instructional purposes, and with the most and most useful content in regard to practice and improvement of one’s game. This book has supplanted my former one as my “go-to” reference for when I want some technical clarification, or to reacquaint myself with fundamentals of execution.

With this book, it is very true that one can go back to it and gain a new and better understanding of what it is intending to impart to the reader.

As far as the practice content, there’s enough in there to keep me challenged for years to come.

Mainly at my present skill level, I find the initial assignment Flight School (outs) keeps me busy enough.  I have not practiced every single day without fail, so I do practice grouping still from time to time before working on the other routines.

I have seen improvement; it is a great feeling (sometimes feels almost surprising) when I’m in the groove and can place my darts with barrels touching or nearly so– mind you it’s more of a rarity than commonplace, but it happens whereas it never used to. Shots at the bull or triple 20 are becoming more reliable; it’s feeling more and more that the dart can end up where I’m intending to place it. I’m hoping to tighten-up yet more, and to get much more consistent in execution and outcome.

“I just got through throwing some accuracy!

PUMPED UP!!

I just threw 14 targets, in about 33 minutes or so.

I hit 4 “9 counts” some being dbls so not really “9″ counts and didn’t keep track of “6″ counts.

I started off slowly but it was the most evenly marked accuracy I’ve ever thrown. My last 3 shots were the final 9. 18 17 15!!!

I noticed the only thing i did differently was slow down. I treated almost every dart as if it were my last dart to win the game. It’s how I’ve been winning blind draws with way lesser partners lately. Just knowing I have to do it all, (not being conceited, just honest) I make sure every single dart is huge!

I have a work buddy coming to play tomorrow night and he’s bringing a couple of his buddies. He hears me talking about darts every day and ask me how i did the night before almost everyday so I wanted to have a good practice session. Sure enough I did. Mostly likely the best ever!

I started out and was only going to try for 3 marks each number but i got in a groove and decided lets do it all the way! Glad I did! I prolly won’t be able to go to sleep for awhile now. And i have to be at work at 830. Good thing i had a nice nap!

I’m loving these drills George. I try to do it at least 4 times a week now.”

I can’t tell you the sense of satisfaction I get when I learn of some one such as yourself having an Ah-Ha moment with what FS and “Accuracy” is all about.

It’s just fabulous for me to know you’ve “gotten” it, so many do not.

Thanks for keeping me up dated.

Your friend in darts, George S.
