About Throw For 180
Welcome to Throw For 180 — the UK’s dedicated darts resource built by real players, for real players. Whether you’re a complete beginner picking up your first set of darts or a seasoned pub league regular looking to sharpen your game, you’ve come to the right place.
Who We Are
Throw For 180 was founded by Craig Jones, a darts enthusiast from the UK who has been playing and following the sport for years. Craig has played himself and followed the PDC and BDO circuits closely, and spent more time than he’d care to admit researching dart setups, equipment, and technique.
This site exists because Craig got fed up of wading through generic, surface-level darts content online. Articles written by people who clearly had never stood at an oche in their lives. Throw For 180 is the site he wished had existed when he started getting serious about the game.
Our Experience & Expertise
Every piece of content on this site is written from genuine hands-on experience with the sport. Craig brings:
- Years of darts experience
- In-depth knowledge of darts equipment — from tungsten barrels and flight shapes to oche setup and dartboard installation
- Close following of the professional PDC circuit, including player setups, tournament coverage, and equipment changes
- Practical testing and research into the buying guides and product recommendations published here
Our pro player setup articles are meticulously researched using official manufacturer sources, player interviews, and confirmed equipment data — not guesswork. When we say Luke Littler throws a 23g Target G1 dart, we’ve verified that through official sources.
What You’ll Find Here
Throw For 180 covers everything a darts player needs:
- Pro Player Setups — Exactly what darts, stems, flights and equipment the top professionals use, sourced from official channels
- Buying Guides — Honest, researched recommendations for darts, dartboards, and accessories at every budget

- Latest Darts News — Coverage of the PDC calendar, major tournaments, and the wider darts world
Our Commitment to Accuracy
Darts is a sport where the details matter — a gram of dart weight or a millimetre of stem length can make a real difference. We take the same approach to our content. We check our facts, update articles when player setups change, and correct mistakes when we find them.
If you ever spot an error or have updated information about a player’s setup, we genuinely want to know. Please get in touch.
