Darts Beginning to End by George Silberzahn Pdf

Your techniques have given me the tools to become the best player I can be. Joe Everett (aka: dart face) New York City Certainly from reading the additional information in George's book (a must for all dart players) I now understand and feel when my stroke is good and bad and also I'm in a position where I am able to correct it if the first dart thrown is poor. Antony Sharrett (aka: Tanman) Harrogate, England I know it's working for me because now what feels like a bad night would have been considered a great night 6 months ago. Mark Kelly (aka: Drac0) Australia I have never felt more controlled and focused with my darts. The drills, the reading material, all of it are a huge help. Greg Kanes (aka: P-man) S. Africa The way George writes makes you wanna read it. Davin Burgess, (aka: davin) Nashville, Tennessee, U.S.A.

Darts by John Rafa Pdf

Competitive darts training book and reference manual for steel-tip and soft-tip darts. The book provides the information needed to learn the game and take it to league play, local tournaments, regional tournaments, national tournaments, and on to the world stage. After the introduction and explanation of the rules, the book focuses on the mental and physical elements of the dart launch. Subsequent chapters explain how to play 501 (n01) and American Cricket; these games are the bedrocks of the competitive darting community. There are the rules for these games but the book more importantly explains how to play these games by the selection of statistically sound target options. 501 targeting is broken down by ranges from a remaining score of 2 thru 501, with the nuances of each range discussed in detail. The American Cricket chapter explains the strategies, tactics and maneuvers of the game with a considerable number of examples of game different situations. This is a serious book for both beginners and seasoned players that want to play this growing sport of darts.

Impossible by Cole Louison Pdf

Skateboarding: the background, technicality, culture, rebellion, marketing, conflict, and future of the global sport as seen through two of its most influential geniuses Since it all began half a century ago, skateboarding has come to mystify some and to mesmerize many, including its tens of millions of adherents throughout America and the world. And yet, as ubiquitous as it is today, its origins, manners, and methods are little understood. The Impossible aims to get skateboarding right. Journalist Cole Louison gets inside the history, culture, and major personalities of skating. He does solargely by recounting the careers of the sport’s Yoda—Rodney Mullen, who, in his mid-forties, remains the greatest skateboarder in the world, the godfather of all modern skateboarding tricks—and its Luke Skywalker—Ryan Sheckler, who became its youngest pro athlete and a celebrity at thirteen. The story begins in the 1960s, when the first boards made their way to land in the form of off-season surfing in southern California. It then follows the sport’s spikes, plateaus, and drops—including its billion-dollar apparel industry and its connection with art, fashion, and music. In The Impossible, we come to know intimately not only skateboarding, but also two very different, equally fascinating geniuses who have shaped the sport more than anyone else.

Haunted Baseball by Mickey Bradley,Dan Gordon Pdf

Baseball and ghost stories are as American as apple pie. Haunted Baseball combines both with this fun and freaky collection of otherworldly yarns. Collected from baseball players, stadium personnel, umpires, front-office folks, and fans, the tales told here explore the spooky connection between baseball and the paranormal, including Babe Ruth sightings at a former brothel, the Curse of the Billy Goat that still haunts the Chicago Cubs, of hidden passageways within the depths of Dodger Stadium, and of the spirits of legendary stars that inspire modern-day players at Yankee Stadium. We hear why Johnny Damon believes in ghosts, and how the memories of a 9/11 hero inspired Ken Griffey Jr. to hit a home run against the Phillies—a team against which he'd never even gotten a hit! There's the story of how Sam Rice settled a decades-old baseball controversy with a message from beyond the grave, and how the late Roberto Clemente had premonitions of his own death in a plane crash. With a wealth of anecdotes that have never before been told before, the authors present an entertaining and eerie look at our national pastime.

Hustler & The Champ by R. A. Dyer Pdf

In the tradition of Pulitzer Prize nominated, Positively Fifth Street, here is a riveting account of a high stakes shoot-out between pool's two most famous personalities. It was Valentine's Day, 1978, and Howard Cosell was hosting the long-awaited show-down between the best-ever tournament player, Willie Mosconi, and the game's most famous hustler, Minnesota Fats. This was The Great Pool Shoot-Out, one of the most highly rated televised sporting events of the year, exceeding even World Series games and basketball championships. R.A. Dyer, author of the best-selling Hustler Days, which recounts the rise of pool during the 1960s, writes of the acrid, but mutually beneficial rivalry between Fats and Mosconi, and how the televised shoot-outs came to embody that rivalry, which was nothing less than a bitter rift within the soul of American pocket billiards. Fats and Mosconi were born the same year, but were vastly different characters: one stood for artistry, the other for show business; one brought dignity to pool, the other made it fun. They are without a doubt the two most important players ever to hold a cue. This is the ultimate tale of American sportsmanship. R.A. Dyer is a columnist for Billiards Digest, and lives in Austin, Texas.
