You don’t have to keep struggling. This friendly, no-fluff guide will help you score with calm and confidence.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for your website. The tools and explanations you provide for darts scoring have made a massive difference for me—not just in improving my game, but also in reducing the anxiety I used to feel around calculating scores. Your clear, practical approach has really helped me gain confidence every time I play.

The book (and also the video series) has been a godsend for me. If this had existed 35 years ago, I’d definitely have joined a club or played tournaments. Keeping score was always my biggest hurdle. But it’s never too late, and with Tommy’s help, I’m all in. It’s given me my confidence back, knowing this is something you can learn.

I’d recommend this to every beginning darter. Darts isn’t just buying darts and throwing them; it’s mainly about arithmetic and learning to count to a double. With these tips and tricks you build automatic habits you’d never pick up otherwise. It’s reignited my love for the game I’ve missed for so long.

I have to be honest: the book has worked wonders for me. Sometimes I even keep score better than I throw 😳. I’ve been getting compliments on my writing and scoring, especially from the players who like to keep the pace high – the ones I used to hope wouldn’t end up at my board 😆.

The tips and tricks helped me the most. I’ve never used an app or calculator at the scoreboard, so in the beginning I was always sweating. But now I’m calm and focused when I keep score, without doubting myself for a single second.

As a sports mind coach for many darts players at all levels I can’t recommend this book enough to help with building skills and confidence when scoring. I recommend it to many players and Youth academies too. 😃💥

We purchased, downloaded, and printed the booklet, and we’re now diving into the material. I must admit, with 25 years of experience in adult education, I am very impressed by the guides from Dartschool.
