We play in my local pub 2 or 3 times a week, I reckon it's overall for about 5hrs a week.

I've tinkered with weights and threw with 26g steelies for a bit, but I seem to do best with 22g and short aluminium shafts, oh and big wing flights.

These are my current set



I paid about £20.00 for them

Board wise, make sure you get a decent bristle and not the cork/cardboard ones, they are poo poo and won't last long.

This is the one we have in the pub.



It cost about £16.00

Also, the unicorn darts case you get is really slimline and fits in your pocket really well, I like to carry a spare set of 25g for other people to use, a few sets of spare shafts and flights, so I carry my darts in this...



This cost about £6.00

and if you want to be a complete lazy bastard (like me) and you have an android phone, install this

It's the BEST scoring app available.

Also, we have http://www.sportsdirect.com/darts in the UK, the prices seem waaaaaaaaay cheaper than in the US, if you choose any kit and it would work out cheaper for me to buy and ship for you, not a problem :)

I've got soft tipped for my kids and they throw well but it's just not the same.

Here is your justification video :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQT3jTG3Oyw

I wouldn't even worry about a backboard for soft tips. Unless you're throwing them in anger (like after missing a checkout and busting) I can't see them marking the wall!
