- We have set up a Q&A section to answer your questions.
Many of you were forced to stay at home or work from home due to the coronavirus outbreak a few years ago, right?
I am normally self-employed, working from home as a video producer, but due to the effects of COVID-19, my work has plummeted and my opportunities to do sales and attend meetings have drastically decreased, so I've spent my time stuck at home feeling frustrated.
*It's been years since the coronavirus pandemic already...
So I thought maybe I should start a new hobby.
I've taken up the hobby of playing darts, which a friend of mine used to take me to and had fun with.
And finally, he went to the extreme of buying a commercial darts machine for himself...
How it all began: I started playing darts at home because of the self-restraint mood
Darts is a game (sport) that can be enjoyed very casually.
All you need to play is a dartboard and three darts.
It's very cost-effective and space-saving.
It's the perfect hobby to enjoy at home.
What's more, modern dartboards can be connected to the Internet, allowing you to play against others online.
Darts is something that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and genders, but I can't resist using a home dart board, soI personally purchased the commercial darts machine "DARTSLIVE2EX".
↓↓↓The first smartphone/tablet linked dart board I bought!
First, the basic rules of darts!
There are many different types of darts games, but here we will introduce the most popular one, "Count Up." In Count Up, you start scoring from 0 and the player with the highest score at the end wins.
The count-up consists of throwing three darts to complete one round.
This is repeated 8 times, or 8 rounds, which means 24 throws.
How to read darts scores
To read the dartboard, the numbers around the board represent the points you can get.
If the arrow hits a "single" the score will be the number itself.
If you hit "double", your score will be doubled.
If you hit a "triple", your score will be tripled.
If you hit the "bull" you get 50 points.
By the way, the highest score is a triple of 20, which is worth 60 points.
Well, the rules of darts are very simple, and the darts you throw weigh around 18g, so it can be enjoyed by people of all ages and genders.
I was confused at first, but I was able to remember the rules in one day.
I bought a real darts machine and put it in my house.
Nowadays, dart boards have been electronically programmed to automatically calculate the score, and when you successfully throw the dart in a way that meets certain conditions, known as an "award," a flashy video is played, which is fun.
I was drawn into the fun of it all, and at first I played with a commercially available dart board, but gradually I began to want a full-fledged dart machine like those found in dart bars and amusement facilities...
Dawn! !
I bought a commercial darts machine called "DARTSLIVE2EX"!
This machine is still in use today and boasts the No. 1 market share in darts bars and amusement facilities.
I bought it on Yahoo! Auctions, and it cost about 30 yen.Sweat
Once you get this far, there's no turning back.
I have no choice but to keep trying.
I've seen people with pinball machines and pachinko tables in their homes, but I think it's rare for someone to have such a huge gadget.
Can this even be called a gadget?
↓↓↓A darts board purchased at the same time as DARTSLIVE2EX. Online battles are exciting!
I also tried to make the room look like a darts bar.
To coincide with the introduction of the commercial-grade DARTSLIVE2EX cabinet, we've also tried to make the room layout and lighting more like a darts bar. What do you think?
There is also a shelf for drinks on the counter table... Ah, it's a world of complete self-indulgence haha
Putting the darts machine in the room has made it difficult to redecorate, but there's nothing we can do about it.
But even with this, I still have enough space to sleep and work.
Isn't that great? Lol
It's so heavy that it won't move at all.
Dart machines are too heavy to move, so when you actually purchase one, you need to decide on the installation location, including the length of the dart mat, before placing it.
Especially when it comes to the back, if you attach it too tightly you won't be able to clean it, so I think it's necessary to leave a little space. (I attached it too tightly (cry))
Features of the commercial darts machine DARTSLIVE2EX
A distinctive feature of DARTSLIVE2EX is that it is packed with gimmicks that set it apart from home dart boards.
First of all, the darts board lights up.
The way it lights up changes depending on where it's inserted, and it produces a sound.
*We will show you how it glows in a video later.
Next, this is a function that can only be used when DARTSLIVE2EX is connected to the Internet, but if you insert the dedicated DARTSLIVE card into the card slot, you can record your darts results on the card.
*To be precise, the grades themselves are stored in the cloud.
One of the indicators of a card's performance is called "rating."
This is a number that measures an individual's ability, and Darzer works hard every day to improve this number.
In addition, with such a huge display, you can enjoy everything from the game selection screen to the various award presentations with powerful audio, which adds to the excitement of the game.
I actually tried throwing darts with a commercial darts machine.
Now, we actually tried throwing a dart in a "count up" game, so please take a look at the video.
Sorry for the poor quality lol
In count-up, you throw three arrows like this, and compete for points over eight rounds.
The way the board lights up also changes depending on where the arrow hits, heightening the player's excitement.
…Can you sense the excitement?
There are also other games such as "Zero One Game" and "Cricket", so if you are interested,DARTSLIVE official websiteCheck it out.
The pros and cons of buying a darts machine for yourself
Below I will list the advantages and disadvantages I have noticed after using a darts machine for several years as an individual who actually purchased one and installed it in my home.
Benefit

- There are plates on both sides of the board, so even if you make a mistake, the darts won't fly all over the place.
- Enjoy the exciting awards of DARTSLIVE2EX!
- The darts are easy to insert. The insertion sound is quiet. ←The biggest difference from a home dart board!
- Above all, the joy of self-satisfaction is explosive!
Demerit
- It's very heavy! Once installed, it cannot be moved, so choose the installation location carefully.
- A certain level of board operation and board repair ability is required. *The seller will teach you.
- Since Dartslive cards cannot be used, playing records cannot be kept.
- Since this will be an offline-only machine, all settings will be used.
Where can I buy a darts machine?
The commercial cabinet for DARTSLIVE2EX is mainly purchased on Yahoo! Auctions.
The price depends on the condition,It can be purchased for around 20 to 30 yen plus shipping, so it is a price that can be afforded by individuals.
Competitive models include "PHOENIXDARTS"There is also a model called.
The price here seems to be a little cheaper, so if you don't mind DARTSLIVE, this is also a good option. They are also sometimes listed on Jimoty and other sites.
If you are worried about buying from Yahoo! Auctions or Jimoty, you can buy from a store, but there are surprisingly few second-hand stores, so you can buy from the following stores. However, since most of the people selling on Yahoo! Auctions and Jimoty are businesses, if you talk to them in advance, they should have a connection with HIVE CREATION, so you can rest assured about maintenance.
If you want to buy it in a store, the following stores are popular:
Things to note when purchasing
When actually purchasing the DARTSLIVE2EX commercial darts machine, there are some things you should be aware of beforehand.
- Be careful because there is a similar older model called DARTSLIVE2DX.
- Be careful, as some models have dark dials due to deterioration of the luminous sheet over time!
- It's so heavy that it's impossible to carry it in by yourself. It's best to buy it from a company that will carry it in for you. Or, you can look for people to help you carry it in on Jimoty.
- Once installed, it will be nearly impossible to move due to its weight, so be sure to secure a place to install it in advance.
- If you want to mount the monitor sideways, you will need to purchase a separate monitor side-mount attachment (available on Yahoo! Auctions).
- Please be aware that for personal purchases, it is not possible to contract for a darts machine online and therefore the DARTSLIVE card cannot be used.
Such as it will be mentioned.
How should I perform maintenance?
Even though it is a commercial dart machine, the durability of the board is only slightly stronger than that of a home dart board.
The parts most susceptible to breaking are the segments and the power supply area.
So where can you buy the segments and power supplies?"Dart Hive"It's a good idea to buy it at a store called "A store where you can find anything you need."
Don't worry if it's not on sale.
If you ask your favorite darts bar manager,"Hive Creation"They should be able to introduce you to a company that can do this.
It's helpful to have a maintenance place you can rely on in case of an emergency.
This concludes our introduction to DARTSLIVE2EX!
There are many other dart boards - Home dart boards
This timeBuy a real darts machine for yourself!I've introduced you to the following, but of course, there are only a few people who bring commercial machines into their homes.
So here I would like to introduce some home dart boards that I recommend.
All of them are high-spec dart boards.
First"DARTSLIVE-HOME".
This is a newly released model that has evolved significantly from the previous model, the DARTSLIVE 200S, including in terms of shape, and has been upgraded to become a machine that allows you to enjoy the commercial version of "DARTSLIVE3" at home.
With the previous model, DARTSLIVE200S, you could enjoy DARTSLIVE3 by updating it, but this model supports it by default. No troublesome adjustments are required.
It can be easily linked to your smartphone for exciting darts play.
When it comes to darts boards for home use, the first thing that comes to mind is DARTSLIVE HOME!
Next, we will introduce "GRANBOARD3s".
The most notable feature of this board is its high functionality for online battles.
You can make detailed settings for various games, and it has the largest online population.
What's more, the numbers on the GRANBOARD3s light up!
It's easy to tell when the numbers light up in cricket etc.
In addition, the game's effects make it light up in a variety of ways, so users will never get bored.
Of course, it can also be easily linked to a smartphone, making it a highly recommended board.
Although it is a darts board for your home, it is a recommended darts board that sells itself with its elaborate construction!
Furthermore, there is a sister product of this GRANBOARD, which is a non-illuminated version and is therefore cheaper, so it is a recommended product for beginners.GRANBOARD DASH".
Of course, this can also be linked to your smartphone to enjoy exciting games.
There are many other electric dartboards out there, but I personally recommend the three I've tried above.
Bring your own darts
If you go to a darts bar or amusement facility, you will find what are called "house darts," so you can enjoy the game even if you go to the bar empty-handed.
However, the specifications of these house darts vary depending on the store.
Therefore, we recommend that you purchase your own darts at a darts shop or online store.
It's also more exciting to have your own darts.
↓The one I would most recommend for beginners is Harlow's Assassin.
Its shape is simple, making it very easy to throw, and it's also good value for money.
↓If you want the strongest one right away, this is it! This is the "Pyro G7" model used by professional golfer Mitsumasa Hoshino.
These darts are very easy to grip and can be used for a long time.
↓The long-selling model "Trinidad Lopez 4" is heavy and easy to throw.
Heavier darts tend to fly more stably.
I have also written an article about my darts below, so please take a look if you are interested. ↓
The joy of throwing
Once you start playing darts at home, you'll probably want to go to a darts bar or an amusement center.
Nowadays, these types of stores have a very open atmosphere, and even if you don't know the rules, the staff will kindly explain them to you, so why not give it a go?
It's a great place to have fun with friends, or as a date spot for something new.

Q&A regarding purchasing DARTSLIVE2EX
I've pretty much summarized it, but I thought there might be some points that you are concerned about when purchasing a darts machine, so I've set up a Q&A section.
- How much space do I need to install "DARTSLIVE2EX" at home?
-
The recommended installation space for DARTSLIVE2EX is approximately 1.5m wide and 3.5m deep. You must ensure that there is a distance of approximately 2.44m between the play line and the target. You must also have a ceiling height that can accommodate the approximately 2.1m tall unit.
- How much does the electricity cost?
-
The power consumption for normal use is about 1 to 50W per hour. If you use it for one hour per day, the monthly cost will be about several hundred yen. However, if you leave it on for a long time, your electricity bill will go up, so it is recommended that you turn it off when not in use.
- Are there any other costs besides purchasing the device?
-
In addition to the device itself, other costs include:
- Protective mat around the dart board (to prevent scratches on floors and walls)
- Darts set (shafts, flights, tips, etc.)
- If you want to use the app link, you will need a DARTSLIVE card (sold separately)
It's a good idea to take these things into consideration when creating your budget.
- Is it easy to set up "DARTSLIVE2EX" at home?
-
The installation itself can be done by two or three people, but since it weighs about 2 kg, we recommend that you ask a delivery company to bring it in and install it for you. After installation, you can use it easily by simply plugging it into an outlet.
- Can I use the online battle feature at home?
-
No, online battles are not possible for personal use. Furthermore, since Internet connection is not permitted, updates are not possible. *You cannot record on the live card.
Let's buy it with that in mind. The feeling of the segments piercing the skin is amazing.
Summary
Darts is a very easy game (sport) that can be played with just three arrows, and there are many spots where you can play it anytime, anywhere.
If you have a knack for it, you can join the ranks of advanced players in just a few months, so I think it's a really interesting game that allows you to really understand your own ability.
The current social climate is extremely unstable.
During the previous coronavirus outbreak, dartboards went up in price dramatically.
We don't know when martial law and self-restraint will begin again.
that's all,Buying a darts machine for yourselfVolume and,How about trying out darts as a hobby you can enjoy at home while you still can?That was the gist of the article!
