Fat lads across the country have claimed that being overweight actually helps them to play darts.
A study has been carried out on 10,000 overweight pub darts players and a staggering 96% of them claimed being overweight helped them with their game.
“The extra few stone helps to keep me grounded and the flab on the back of my arm works as a counterweight which keeps my arm steady” said one tubby.
As well as being overweight drinking was the second most popular reason for performance enhancement.
“I can’t play without a few pints in me first, I play better when I’m a bit drunk. I sometimes get double vision but it’s always the dartboard on the left is the real one so it’s not so bad” said another man from the study.
The study had also shown that the vast majority of overweight darts players play the sport because it’s the only sport you get to play drunk and there is little or no physical training needed.
“I love the fact that I can waddle to the pub and have 10 pints, throw a few darts, have 10 more pints and head into town for a few Jager Bombs and a curry. You don’t get that in Football do you?” said Jack ‘Double Tops’ Thompson.
Recent figures estimate that the popularity of the game and the size of the players is set to double in the next 12-18 months.
