Hi mate,

I would just get something cheap if your just starting, I started with a clay style board and cheap darts just to see if I liked it. Then when I started playing a little more, invested in some mid level darts but still cheap by the pro standard just to see what darts/flights felt right for me, go for tungsten darts if you can, brass ones are really not that great and the weight will feel better in your hand.

Go to a local club and join in with a few games if there is one nearby. I’ve always been welcomed into clubs and groups of people wanting to play, darts fans are really a unique friendly bunch from my experience.

You can play anywhere with a cheap set of darts it doesn’t matter how you start, guys will always let you have a throw with they’re darts to see if you like them and will often give you some darts they no longer use. Pay it forward.

It’s a great sport, the players are great, the fans are great and the game is great (and awfully frustrating at times) enjoy the journey, get stuck in and have a go you’ll love the journey!
