Best List: Heart-pumping, dart-thumping gear (and a blinkin’ Apple book)

By

If you play darts, you know it's all about the doubles and triples. Landing your pointy projectile in those choice slivers of bristle board real estate make all the difference when you are playing to win.


The Bandit Plus ProTrainer ($65 from A-ZDarts.com) can help. On this fiendish and well-constructed training tool, the double and treble beds are just half the size of a regulation steel-tip dartboard. Practicing with this demanding mistress is the darting equivalent of running in ankle weights or sliding a doughnut on your bat while taking a few cuts in the on-deck circle. Spend some quality time with the ProTrainer at home, and those precious moneymaker slots will look gigantic when you step up to the oche during your next pub match. — Lewis Wallace

    Someone needs to do some fact checking the Garmin 920XT does not have a touchscreen

    Might be interesting to know if this works with HealthKit, you know, in an article on an Apple blog.

      Thanks for pointing this out, @disqus_RmdxMW7mm9:disqus. Looks like the short answer is that HealthKit compatibility remains limited but Garmin is working on expanding it. I’ve added a link to Garmin’s website that outlines how the 920xt works with Apple’s Health app and HealthKit.

    Whenever I come across the expression “bad boy”, I know it’s time to stop reading. No offense intended, but this expression makes you sound unprofessional at best… at least in my humble opinion.
