Man of many talents, Lowe composed and performed the funky synth intro music, under his stage name Stoneface. On occasion he was backed by the Quarrymen. Not many people are aware of this, on account of it not being true.
+Darts Review Channel : ))) I'm also collecting dart sets, although I don't have access to really old ones. BTW - please continue with the reviews. I really like your videos.
+Darts Review Channel That is a great idea! I'm sure that would be appreciated by everybody, especially us in Eastern Europe :) We don't really get the chance to see real old stuff.
as a kid I was a Bristow fan . Stepfather was a Lowe fan So I chose the other one . We hated each other . . I now have a Whole new respect for the guy . He was great anyway . Hey I was a kid .LEGEND
I grew up throwing an original pair of John's phase 1 prototypes. When he wanted a shorter barrel. He gave a set to my dad (rip Terry) when John was given 3 sets/weights to chose from. A family member stole them the day after he passed away.
Christmas Day 1989... I bought my 9 year old son a darts board and a set of darts. He was so happy and could not wait to throw them... But I INSISTED he watched this video first in the spare room to appreciate the art. I popped in the spare room after 45 mins to see what he thought so far, and he wasn't there... He had left the house and ran away! Haven't seen him since.
@David Shreeves, I just want to say, thank you. I have not laughed so much in ages, all those time stamps and your comments added to them, oh boy, I was in tears. Bravo my man, Bravo.
He's right about the measurements, back in the 80's we used to win the league every year as teenagers. Pubs hated us so they put the boards an inch higher and made the throws longer. Cheats never prosper so we carried on thrashing the old bastids every week. My favourite throw on a dartboard is the Bullseye and that's from watching the Legend John Lowe all those years ago.
Double in double out, that's one way to practice doubles. I regularly throw doubles round the clock, on my own. Double 1, double 2, 3, 4 etc. Finish on the Bull's Eye of course. I think that's a better way to practice doubles.
wow...hmmm interesting how times have changed. I do love what he says about double start but disagree. Id say right side of the board is easier for lefties to hit, and left side is easier for righties hit. generally your motion is going to tale across your body. Also people dont go for double top to start just because it is the biggest double, but it also keeps you in line with the board. if you throw for a double straight in the top you dont have to adjust, you are in line with trip 20
Did they ever get the other tape with all the games John mentioned at the end done?Anyone know the name of it if they did?I'd love to have it to help practice by.
+David Shreeves + I have not deleted the comments. They were pending for approval and marked by RU-vid as "possible spam" - possibly because you submitted a lot of them in a short time. I did not log in in RU-vid for a while now in order to be able to approve them.
+David Shreeves Yea - I got the idea that you were not malicious. Hmm...so you're saying that some comments are still missing? Strange, 'cause I've approved all of them. I do not delete any type of comment from any videos I've put up. People can say whatever they like.
