I have a dartboard in my bedroom. It depends on what kind of darts you prefer (thin or thick). But any set by one of the professional guys should be fine, or a set like unicorn. I'm not an expert really

 

Like thin ones, which are generally expensive. Hence wanted to check. Thanks for the advice

I went through phases of preferring thin ones then the thicker ones and back again. Generally I prefer the thinner darts too. But most importantly, the more practice you do, the better you will become. It can be boring as hell practicing on your own so you need to mix it up and play different games that help to improve your skills. And use your imagination by pretending you are playing against another opponent

Yeah... I've been playing on and off for the past few years but this time I wanted to be sure about the darts I use

Cool. It would be great to see an Indian compete on the big stage one day

As our commentator (definitely an expert) always says: Just buy the most basic set-up there is, no weird flights, no weird shafts or other exotic stuff, just 100% basic. Only after getting used to that it's maybe time to see if you can change some small things to get better
