Whilst travelling around this week I stumbled across a venue that had something I’d not seen in person before.
This is a Manchester board, darts are still thrown at it but it’s a very different game. As the name suggests it’s only really played in Manchester and traditionally they were log ends, they require moistness and often need spraying in the middle of a game.
The board is smaller than that of a traditional London board that most people will be familiar with, it’s hung lower and thrown from a shorter distance.
Unfortunately I didn’t get chance to throw at the board- have you ever played on one?

One thing I’ve always believed is that the best coaches never stop learning. If I want my clients to keep improving, I need to do the same.
This year, my focus has been on the mental side of the game, and I’m delighted to have started adding Hypnotherapy to my coaching toolkit, this is only the beginning but It’s another way I can help players overcome mental barriers, build confidence, improve focus, and perform at their best when it matters most.
I’m excited to bring these new skills into my coaching and continue giving my clients every possible advantage.
The learning never stops. The standards never drop. The progress never slows.

It’s been a busy few weeks here at SJ Darts, and I couldn’t be more grateful.
I’ve welcomed lots of new players for 1-to-1 coaching, as well as seeing some familiar faces return. Sessions have ranged from complete beginners throwing their first darts to experienced players looking to take their game to the next level, with some even eyeing Q-School in January.
One of the most rewarding things has been the number of people coming through recommendations. Knowing that players trust me enough to tell others about their experience genuinely means a lot.
Whether your goal is to hit your first 180, improve your consistency, overcome a mental block, or simply enjoy your darts more, every coaching session is tailored to you.
If you’re thinking about improving your game, I’d love to help.
Drop me a message to book a session or find out more about PDPA accredited darts coaching.
