Trying to tell somebody the proper way to hold a dart is like trying to tell somebody how to masturbate properly do what works for you

Is yr surround missin a section or am I just seeing things...?

Thank you for your advice..more power to you .

As a beginner, excellent advice.

I like the structure. Can you put it out

I've just got it thanks for all advise got to fight my way through it😢

Man , mine are in 12's and 5's lol

You should really learn to normalize your volumes if you are going to have 15k subs...

Love this. So thorough and backed up with a solid knowledge of pro players and their stances. I think the realisation I came to is; “what feels natural” is less repeatable than an intentional stance & as a result, my consistency suffers. Great video 💪

I place my thumb on the balance point. Is that good or bad?

If you’re a new darts player definitely avoid putting unprotected live electrical cables adjacent to your darts board 😮

I know my issue now I flick my wrist every throw it just feel natural coming from basketball. Pretty much the opposite to darts where I need to lock it. I tried now but it feels so weird and unnatural just gotta get through it . Lovely video !

Great video, important tips that really help

I was your friend in the pub, couldn't let go of it. It was heartbreaking. People who had no idea what it was or that it was even a thing were laughing, but for those of us who have been through it, it really wasn't/isn't funny at all. I've just about come through it now (taken best part of 20 years on and off) by completing reworking my throw/pre-throw triggers. I'll never be as good as I was, but I can at least play a few legs against my son.

Great instruction! Do you know why many pro players do stand more to the right of the oche? Instead of in the middle of the oche?

Supermatch 5 , I just got one its a very hard board. Look great ,so far just a bit hard

The drinks thing needs to be cut out

I couldn't remove the plastic stem, went to kitchen, put the barrel on gas stove & expected the plastic to melt...but nothing happened & still, the problem persist.. what to do?

Cheers!

Would this apply to left handed people?

Followed! 💯👌👌

Watching all the way from Papua New Guinea. Thanks dor this. And thank you for ahowing me how to stand and throw..Took the luke littlee stand n it was awesome.😊

Thanks mate, the locking the knee method really helped. I was always uncomfortable with my stance, and this helped out a lot. Now building consistency!

Thanks 😊

How do you get an aluminium stem out if tightened very good and broken

to have the most dexterous release one needs to hold the dart at the front of a widely knurled barrel

Professor you're wrong... there's another way of throwing (i.e. both feet on the oche) : place both feet on the oche, pointing leftwards diagonally (45°) ; then turn your legs lightly further more toward the board ; now turn the upper part of your body completely facing the dartboard ; then lean slightly forward ; your torso is now in a "locked position", stable enough for you to concentrate on your throwing gesture, which you can manoeuvre with far greater precision than via an ordinary throwing stance

your awsm

Should I be spinning the dart off my fingers or try to keep it in a fixed position through the air?

What a dangerous set up. I hope nobody lets a dart slip and penetrate the mains cable next to the board as that would be instant death when they remove it. I think your better removing it and fitting somewhere else.

So what type of barrel should we choose?

I dont know if its dartitis but since like 5 months ago i started rolling my darts to into the single nine's, a month later right before competition started i changed stances and throws and during my match i still could hit some 20's but i also got darts in the 3 segment and in the 19's thrown at 20. Now that is over but i still got some darts rolling in the 9 or 14's. Is this dartitis?

That plum line is about as straight as George Michael. Just use a tape measure from the wall to the bullseye, that measurement will be the at the oche, simple and alot more accurate than a wobbly plumline.

I just took out the wire and staples. Hitting the line is kind of a pain to determine but its definitely better than the staples

i feel every steps youve been through! nice vid!

We’ll explained

I've been throwing off my middle finger rather than my index finger from day one, I never took darts to seriously but I've always been decent, I recently realized I've been gripping fundamentally wrong, it's a nightmare trying to change

I found a lot of the problems you were having I was having aswell , you have really helped me out thanks a lot mate

Very helpful

A dart board and some darts with out them no darts lol

Thanks for nothing!

It wont do with alluminum shaft.

Thanks 😊

I throw exactly like Gary Anderson, noting textbook but work wonderfully for me also for Gary

My natural way to hold the dart had my palm more facing the board. I noticed most pros have their palm facing more upward. I improved quite a bit when I made this change and my follow through became more consistent . With my palm facing the board I had to use arm and should more to propel the dart...palm up ,my arm is quiet and the wrist pronation follow through is the majority of what i need to propel the dart

If that dart went right it was always going right , you can easily 180 with a set of thick brass just takes far more use of flights to keep darts either side aiming for a deflection off the flight rather then the board itself

So I take it the slims travel the fastest through the air?

So far after months of looking online someone who truly shows how to properly shoot the dart. My biggest issue was that I wasn’t locking the wrist will have to try this hopefully more treble 20’s thanks mate from Canada

Thanks pal

Just to echo loads of other comments, this is by far the best video on youtube covering all aspects of the grip. Just wished I had found this first before sitting through all the others!!
