I find it amazing that they throw in what most people would wear at a wedding or a funeral
When I first started playing back in the 70's I played in the London insurance league (same one I play in nowadays) and there were loads of players used to wear their suits when playing - I did occasionally if the pub was cold lol. There's a couple of players in the league play in suits now as well.
It's not actually too bad depending and it can actually help you keep a straighter line as your arm movement to the side is more restricted than if you were wearing a loose fitting darts shirt or t-shirt.
Yeah I posted that site before on the old forum, its great! I love seeing the clips and I'm amazed they seem to keep finding new ones, my favourite is the trick shot where he throws the dart into a tube held in a womans mouth!
