A little routine i use is to throw at the bull with my first dart then try to hit the double of whatever number i land in or closest to. Good advice from you, especially the overthinking.
Are you a moron or this a parody? The only reason you miss is due to balance? What's about.... Miss alignment Pulling. Elbow rotation. Hand turn. Uneven pressure of the grip. Spinning the dart off. Decelerating. Incarnate visual perceptions. Shoulder movement. I could hit 70+av on one leg with my left hand. That's how small of a difference this will make.
I throw from left side of oche so my darts end up sticking strsight in board, standing middle to right of oche, my darts then stick in board with shaft and flights lying to the right, ie in the board at an angle not 90° outward, not sure if this will make sense. Any help to correct this. Is it grip or technique of throw to fault.?
I play in a cricket club and many of them are naturally decent at throwing straight, once they get their grip right, as they are used to bowling in a straight line over a longer distance
Typically having an around 60 average (which is pretty good considering I started some years ago throwing under 30), but being pretty ambitious about darts I just want to know where my progess ends, maybe at 70, maybe I even reach 80 some day. I will try this trick, as even though I am a relatively respectable player I still struggle with my throwing and standing technique. Maybe that helps, thanks for the suggestion anyway!
My pet hate is throwing for double 8 and hitting 11. This has cost me many times when I subsequently cannot for the life of me hit a 1 or 3. Yet when I aim for 20 or 19 I have zero trouble hitting 1 or 3.....
100% my downfall. I don't drink alcohol, so I can't use that excuse xD Appreciate the reminder. I always notice when I'm firm in my stance (balanced) I throw the dart much more consistently to my target destination. Your attitude alone is how people should approach darts, new or old.
I'm not knocking you but I can tell you after years of doing that stance it played havoc with the knee of my lead leg. I had to resort to a balanced stance.
Short answer is no! The idea of different shapes is predominantly achieving the dart landing flat in the board. If you throw a heavier dart you'll most likely need the standard flight to get the lift anyway. Lighter darts can play around with flight shapes more effectively. Interesting to note that the ladies don't faff around with this stuff. They're all using standard equipment.
Cheers for the video it's really helpful. I have tried to change everything in my throw, and nothing has really helped. I'd never thought about balance/stance until now. It's really helping thanks
When i started throwing darts i just hold my dart like a pen, but now i figured out that u should grip the darts with an lock-wrist, but when i try to implement the lock wrist my darts fly everywhere... should i keep my old grip, or try to get used to the new grip with an lock wrist??
