Couple of links added.  If you see something that looks good, feel free to post in this thread!

New link added in 'How to Play Darts' - from this post by Shep:

https://www.dartsnutz.net/forum/showthre...#pid595667

Video mentioned by Ancient Darter in 2016 or so, but giving it to Shep because he included the link.  Could've been mentioned earlier but that's all I could find - lol.

New link added for Custom Made's excellent resource on point diameters.  Might have to rename the index to something other than 'Beginner's Guide'.  Seems to be evolving beyond that!  Not a bad thing though.

Thanks everyone

anyone know where to watch/buy the phil taylor dvd?

Still no idea why it was only available for a short time, but keeping an eye on ebay would be your best bet - there's one on there at the moment from Japan but not sure it's worth the £119.71 they are asking for it!!
