Millimeter Precision
A professional dartboard's treble-20 bed is only 8mm wide. Missing by the width of a coin can ruin a leg.
- Visual Mechanics
The Dominant Eye
Pros align the dart with their dominant eye to create a straight 'sighting' line. Any lateral deviation causes the dart to drift into the 1 or 5.
