MVG Throw Analysis of Michael van Gerwen. 

That’s a great detail.. I need to remember that one

Huge similarity between myself and MVG. Haircut not the darts throw.

Iv got a few om working on but ill definitely do it :)

Yeah, iv tried as well and it's definitely a young man's tgrowing action. :)

John lowe also commented that "he won['t be throwing like that when hes 50", it's his hip that will likely suffer first.

Your right, his alignment is off and his elbow is used was to much.

His dart nowadays points very far down on the draw back where as before the dart was pointing up . The angle is quite significant . Is this a result of the injury that required surgery perhaps ?

@@stumetallicafan He used to do that when he was 16 years old. Watch his game against Martin Adams in the international darts league back in 2006. :)

@@stumetallicafandeffo a possibility about the surgery. His dart is pointing way down to the ground when he throws, which must be causing the wrist/elbow to react more to propel the dart. It could only make him more injury prone and cause for more stray darts when he’s playing. I definitely feel that if he made some positive technical changes in his game he could get back to the top of the game again. Still plenty of years for him.

That's a good point, it is extremely hard to hold yourself still in that position for long periods of time. Good comment 👍

Nothing wrong with it at all, your most probably tiling the point up as you draw back. :)

Taylor and MVG have very different throws. But they do have some things in common. 1. They both walk in to the shot looking at the target. 2. They both stand very central on the oche although MVG is slight over to the left. 3. They both grip the dart lightly. 4. They both follow through all the way. But Taylor would alway throw the dart with alot if Power in the front and middle of the barrel at release. Thus ment his darts would travel flat and land sightly downward. MVG pushes the point up further on release and the back of the barrel down. As demonstrated in this video its causes the darts to kick when in flight and land upward. MVG is a rythem player so he will typically aim the first dart and let the others fly. Taylor always aimed every dart although he has a rythem as well. This video has some grate advice from Taylor himself in it for you: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7lhWmPShw2U.html I'm a darts coach who works with one of the best players in the world, some semi professionals and amateurs alike. I know Dynamite daves work and he teaches a style that works for some players but everyone is different and I disagree with some of his work. His coaching on aiming and eye dominance are one of these factors. So I can only tell you that every good player I have ever worked with aims the dart and under pressure when you need that little bit more accuracy you will aim more, it's human nature.

@@Straightdarts wow👏🙏THANK YOU for such neat/detailed answer. Deeply appreciate and so happy.. I will read this as many times as possible, learn and imbibe.. gratitude for taking your time and answering this.. this is class🖖

They definitely aim on target. You should also know, that something like muscle memory exists and after years of training, you will be able to aim without much concentration. It will become natural. Your hands and eyes and standing and everything about throw will become automated and natural, so you will not think about it anymore.

I'm learning as well what is the difference with mechanical and natural throw?

@@Jack51161 hi, good morning from my part of world.. At later point or stage.. everything .. right from your walk towards oche & follow-up action, both words 'mechanical' or 'natural' throw becomes one & the same because a dartist has, over a period of time has attained muscle memory unique to its own personality.. And yet.. initially.. At very 1st stage.. a natural throw is what a beginner is naturally throwing a dart.. some are born with it to throw well and majority are not Mechanical throw is.. how a beginner grips a dart, how he or she holds it, finger grips, the weight of body on dominant feet & 2nd feet for balance, the way he or she aims, how, what, why's.. the body position & raising , pullback, release.. follow-up action.. all these actions become mechanical through enough practice that he or she seldom goes wrong by grip, throw, followup action.. Later.. both mechanical (muscle memory) & natural action converge.. but, imo, at beginning.. 95% is physical basics & 5% mental & after becoming really good ... 95% is mental & 5% is physical.. MvG, Taylor or anyone else... their physical aspects of throw become second nature & when they continue to practice & excell .. they , despite their age going up, body/mind changing.. they keep up with utmost levels to be in that stage.. Sorry, my way of explaining is somewhat awry but this is what I feel that at professional level natural/mechanical becomes one with target but to attain that.. both start with basics which should be practiced with utmost tenacity to to up the ante

Iv already made a video on it. :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Lo_2LiAhqBY.html

Yes, he used them for years. :)

Possibly, if you tense up on the wrist repetitive movement can be very painful.

He also used James Wade's darts as a young man. :))

He used Unicorn Phil Taylor World Champion 26 gram before switching to McKicks.

slightly less aggressive maybe?

I have noticed in some shots he dose seem to place it on the point but in most shots he dosnt, Well spotted. :)

@@Straightdarts i've borderline obsessively been stalking . . err analyzing his throw since i got into darts a few years ago haha. it hasn't changed too too much since the start. the biggest change was him dropping the pinky. currently imo due to him losing so much, he isn't used to that, he has begun to tweak things. his go to form for the last few years, he was drawing it back down to the middle right of his lips where the two meet as you can see in your video here. lately he has raised it up an inch or so now above the right side of his lips.

He keeps a very lose grip and arm but he still probably dose at times. More aggressive players do. :)
