Other good way of checking eye dominance. Put your hands out toward your bulls eye or some object in your home. Make a triangle with your thumbs touching as the base and forefingers touching up top. Center the object or bullseye in those hands. While holding them in a triangle, bring your hands back to your face while keeping the image in the center. You should come back to your dominant eye. However, if you do come back to an eye, which you can do consciously, and you see a hand cross across the object then that eye is not your dominant. For your dominant you should be able to bring the triangle back to that eye with no obscuring of the object along the way.

Few years back i had weird problem with my throwing, i didn't understand it. While i was focusing on aiming i had many misses to 12 and 18, sometimes more than 60% of throws. But while i was throwing without aiming i could hit 20's with 60-70% accuracy. It was really confusing for me, because i really didnt want to throw only basing on muscle memory and 'feeling'. This was cause that i resigned from dart. Today i wanted to throw a little bit, just for fun, and also i watched few yt videos hopefully that i finally find out what was the cause of my misses... And i've just found out that my right eye is dominant but i was aiming with my left eye... ( i'm right handed) Its weird because only with dart im aiming with my left eye... Other methods points that my right eye is dominant. With closed left eye i feel comfortable with aiming and throwing, will se if i can learn to aim with right eye.

Eye dominance doesn't matter. Just look at the target and throw your darts from the side of your eye. So you can see your target with both eyes. That is much better than sticking your dart in front of one eye and then you can't see the target with it. Because you don't aim your darts you just throw them and you've got a much bigger chance of hitting your target when you look at it with both of your eyes.
@futurez125 жыл бұрын
Phil Taylor and Gary Anderson beg to differ. Phil literally pulled his arm across to the left side of his face to get the dart in line with his offset dominant eye. Players like MVG and Rob Cross seem to be center eyed as they throw from a central position in front of their face, but almost all top players line their sight up with the dart and board. If you've ever played snooker you'd know they do it too. In fact, nearly all elite snooker players are center eyed, so you'll see them cueing directly underneath the middle of their chin. The rare one's who aren't will cue to either side depending on which eye is dominant. It's important for aiming.
@pessilyyra95534 жыл бұрын
@@futurez12 Having worked in visual sciences, I studied this for years, mostly pertaining to snooker. In fact, most right-handed snooker players place the cue under the right eye, and left-handers under the left eye. Nevertheless, independent of handedness, eye dominance is 80 % right, 20 % left. According to research, sighting is task dependent, and an individual uses a different eye for sighting in different disciplines and even in the same discipline after using a different hand for a sufficiently long time. Eye dominance is more about the conscious, so called "ventral" stream of visual processing. Motor control is based relatively more on less conscious "dorsal" visual system. However, all this is individual, and strong eye dominance or some x factor can override this. Sight-right type of finding the line of aim OTOH is more about conscious, dominant eye driven. So, for that you may benefit finding your dominant eye. But even for that it is probably not necessary, because vision is cyclopic, you oniy see one visual field, not one for each eye. I'd suggest forgetting about which eye you use. Just find a system for finding the line of aim and when you're sighting in your stance, just trust your sensory and motor systems :)

Hm... not sure that trick really determines your eye dominance. Doing that with your left hand (if you're right handed yields the same result but with the opposite eye). According to this test both my eyes are dominant since it moves in both instances for my left and right... Really it changes simply based on where you have the dart in relation to your eyes (right eye focused, left eye focused, middle )

It's impossible to aim for such a small target. It's more the feeling you get after time.

What? Do you play without seeing your target?

@@WrestlerMonkey123 You would be surprised. There are some old guys in my league who will ask what they hit because they say the board is all blurry to them. They have played so long they know about where they are throwing even though it is blurry for them. I would love to have seen them 30 years ago lol.

It moves for both eyes. Either I do not understand the task, or I should contact my ophthalmologist.

I can't get enough power in my throw unless I start my hand beside my face instead of in front of my eye. As my hand comes forward it does come in front of my eye but I guess that means my action is slightly curved. Any tips to fix this?

@ATOWN135 I find my biggest problem is keeping the darts straight North to South. I'm hitting as many treble 1s and treble 5s as single 20. I like to practise on D11 to try to improve this. Last night I threw approx 100 darts at it and hit it 6 times. My east to west judgement of required speed is excellent so its very frustrating not being able to get the alignment sorted. The funny thing is when I want to hit T19 I can't seem to come out of the straight line and hit the 3 segment 90% of the time.

I have a real issue with the follow through, I just don’t find it natural to follow through anywhere as near as much as pros say u should. The dart keeps going to the right when I’m really trying to follow through
