Darts coaching with DYNAMITE DAVE aiming the dart.

[@michaelnewhook8103]

Dave, I just watched this video, and said, you know what, I'm always pulling my dart directly back in front of my eye, and there is always an issue with my dart going left or right. I stood up to the oche, got myself into position and moved my hand/arm out of the way and started throwing my darts and the 4th visit I hit a 180. I took a picture of it for proof but I don't know how to post it on here. I am definitely using this method from now on because I know it works. Much appreciation for your videos Dave, and keep it up!!

[@DynamiteDaveLlewellyn]

get it on Facebook mate and tell them how you changed and who helped you get there cheers D Dave...

[@troysimmons2877]

Please Dave know that I have just found your channel. And out of all the help out there. You have transformed my game. 😢 I am forever grateful. I am from the states and your help has traveled across the pond and for a country boy in soddy-daisy Tennessee. And has help me tremendously thanks

[@seankelly9447]

Hiya. Great video but i just wanted to mention that all the other darts channels i watch they all say to aim with your dominate eye. So i have always had my dart in front of eye...will give your way ago and see how i get on :)

[@DynamiteDaveLlewellyn]

Hi Sean hope your well you can only have one dominant eye if your holding your dart in front of the other one like wearing an eye patch on your right eye if your right handed and left if your left. Therefore taking making you ipso facto blind to the target in the so called none dominant eye. Move your hand from Infront of your eye and hay presto you can see the board with both eyes using your full ability of depth perception with no eye dominance to be found anywhere... Cheers D Dave...

[@christondro232]

God bless you. I play at work and the guy I play with throws over head and gettting bulls. I spent 1000 on darts. Now it’s me. But I love it brother. Your all I have left. You don’t know how much you make a difference. Please don’t stop.

[@christondro232]

Me again I work at 4 am I’m throwing at 4 am. She don’t like it but it clears my head. Hey I’m going thru bad times. God bless don’t quit me. I respect you. All the others. Crap. I’m gonna take a plane and come. Don’t turn me down when I show up.

[@Kammyyy529]

Ur videos are brilliant I am right handed but my left eye is dominant and with aiming with both eyes helps me with aiming at the target as well as getting my throwing motion to be consistent this has helped me wonders every video I have watched has helped me massively, my problem was my consistency and since I have took up this style of playing which I use to aim from my nose but now aim from my cheek I feel more comfortable and I am top 20 in my darts Monday league which consists of 180 people always wanted to improve my game never found the right video until I watched yours thank you very much I have now moved onto playing comps and pushing myself to play county which I've been told I am more than capable if there was a button to sub 10 times I would do that 👏🏽👌🏻

[@AA-wb6qz]

So a month ago I started playing with friends. It was the first time I ever played. And I won all matches that evening. Then I started getting into the game, bought a dartboard and tungsten darts and all. And I started watching videos online, trying new techniques. Then my average and accuracy started dropping madly. What was going on?? It turns out that my initial way of throwing was not optimal BUT I was using both eyes and throwing from the side of my face, not in front of my right eye. So when I improved my throwing technique, at the same time I started closing my left eye and positioning my dart in front of my right eye, thinking it was the proper way. Here I was thinking I was improving, but it was only my stance and firmness and forearm that were better, NOT the eye part. So my initial intuition was better for that part and your video just "opened my eyes" to this fact! Thank you Dave! This should allow me to reach a new level now.

[@ianlocke4877]

Best advice I have ever received regarding darts. After moving my hand away from my view, I've gone from avg arround 30-35 darts a leg, to 21-24 darts. And I've only been doing this for a about a week. it have worked wonders. Thanks a lot

What a wonderful tip Dave, I have always thrown the dart from my right eye, your way gives a smoother and more accurate result, Brilliant!

[@jonathanherring9915]

I watched a previous video and the only thing I took from it, as it was a personalized response to a particular person, was to keep my head facing straight to the target. Best Advice Ever. I may seek the tutelage of David to further my game. Thanks.

[@scubachaz1]

Great video Dave! Glad we discovered you! I’m across the pond and my “Lass” and I recently joined a dart league. We can’t get enough of your tutelage. Like you, I’m a lefty but seem to be more right eye dominant. The two eye aim method seems to help but I throw the occasional wild dart and hit the 18 or worse. Can’t figure out why. Thanks and keep the lessons coming.

[@vaping_brizzle420]

Hi. Started watching your tips and vids. Ive been practicing your technique and dynamite dave way and i been getting my grouping alot better with this and i also hit my first 140. Yet to hit a 180 but only been just on other side of the wire. But with the mechanical throw my darts are going where i need them now. I just wanted to say thank you for all these videos and helping improve so many players. I know its helping my game on league night on wednesdays.

[@ronsmith9593]

1 1/2 hours of your videos, and 3 to 5 hours of training. Thanks, Dynamite Dave. I'm still struggling with your grip, but i just started. You have greatly improved my game, though. Oh, by the way, I love your New Mexico plates on the wall. I live in Roswell, New Mexico

[@DynamiteDaveLlewellyn]

Hi Ronnie bud hope your well Its fantastic to hear your making the biggest change in your darting life and believe me if you stick to it the results are mind blowing. I have literally hundreds of stories of everyday players who have more than doubled their averages over 6 months and one of my best is a guy who had dartitis and couldn't let go of the dart it was so severe i decided the only way forward was a change of hand. so we started on a journey of about 18 months changing his throw from right to left handed and went from a three dart average of well 0 to be honest to now he plays regularly off 80+ and thats from scratch with all the DD ways Stance body position grip and throw from side of face. So stick with it buddy it works because its true there is a right way to throw darts and this is it. Cheers Dynamite Dave...

[@leedavies339]

Omg this little bit of information has improve my game no end thank you so much mate

[@billkipper3264]

I actually liked the one design I saw during the video that you didn't show at the end which had a face on a stick of dynamite. I have a suggestion as well. How about a design wherein the dart is a stick of dynamite with a point on one end and a shaft and flight on the other that is also the fuse? It could be shown stuck in the treble twenty or bulls eye also. Great video as always. Thanks Dave.

[@DynamiteDaveLlewellyn]

That's my old BDO shirt I could do it as a retro designer shirt. .

[@joonah318]

Been watching a couple of your videos from tonight mate and it seems to all make sense. I’m struggling to throw at a good standard and after seeing this video I think I’m going to give the throw from the side of the face a go. I have tried it before but it felt so unnatural but that’s maybe because I’m not used to it 😅 thank you anyway !!

[@jameslloyd9439]

I've just recently discovered this way of playing and I've been playing for years now. Thanks for the help dave. Grouping and scoring has dramatically improved 👍

[@АлександрМаксимов-б2ц]

Hello, Dave! I really like your videos! I watch every issue, they're great! I wish I understood anything in English, but it doesn't bother me, you're a very good coach and everything is already clear)) Thank you so much for helping people like me learn this wonderful sport! I'm looking forward to the next issues. Thank you!!!

[@Pinkspiderley]

Such a helpful well explained vid. Thank you!!!

[@andrewalexander5345]

Thanks Dave this video has helped me a lot, it was the one thing I have had problems with is aiming, the reason for this is I have Diplopia (double vision) on the edges on my vision. I used to throw my darts from in front of the eye as on this video, now I have change to throwing from the side of my face I am hitting the target better and more often because I can see the target better, since throwing your way I have improved a lot, (I use to be a good player) before I started throwing your way my average had fallen to an all time low of 45 which is very bad for me, now my average is on the up and up I am now throwing 60 plus and I am getting better, once again thanks mate... and remember Toe to the Oche......

[@DynamiteDaveLlewellyn]

Hi Buddy its great to hear for you and your making headway I had a county player over a few weeks ago and he was on an 80+ average but had stalled in his development and it turned out to be a very similar thing he was throwing from his right eye and being right handed he had covered his right eye. At first he would not accept it affected his performance so I got an old pair of sunglasses and popped out the left lens put them on him and put a tissue where the left lens was. He set up and straight away said a cant see a bloody thing (his dart and right hand was blocking his view) so I set him up as in this video and let him have a few visits just using his left eye and he was poor but could still throw I took the glasses off him and he was gobsmacked and the quotes he said I cant put on here. Now after just a week or two he has had his first ever 100+ three dart average in a match. the morrall is as you have doneAndrew, when its right you know its right stick with it and the rewards are truly great. And Lads n lasses dont forget you only ever get out of this game what your prepared to put it' Allways Always Always "TOE TO THE OCHE"

[@andrewalexander5345]

It is hard to get use to at first, I was getting very frustrated with it, I played in a comp 2 weeks ago and finished 3rd, then the next day played bad, but I have said to myself stick with it you know it is right even if it does not feel right, I suppose bad habits take a little time to get rid of. as you say you only get out what you put in to it. and Allways Always Always "TOE TO THE OCHE" speak soon mate take care..... and be good.....

[@beefwallet]

Very small change but this one instantly made my throw more comfortable, cheers!

[@markusrohling4913]

Dave, thank you so much for this video. Such a simple hint, actually, but massiv. For explanation: I wear glasses, and now and then i will touch them in the pull back and screw up important throws. Way back in time, i used to not have the dart in front of my eys, but changed the stance and aiming to have the dart in my vision. i´ve been working around this problem for years now, and that could be a way to fix the problem. Best regards from germany markus

Superb video, Dave. Thank you. I personally like the shirt “I have been coached by dynamite dave" shirt. Would be fun to wear that to an event and meet other people that were coached by you. In addition I like simple slogan shirts. What about your slogans "toe to the ockey" or "you only get out of this game....". Just print that with a nice graphic on a shirt. Anyhow, I would buy one of your shirts, Dave. Cheers.

that one is in the pipe line buddy Shirts make great conversation starters I wear my funky shirts to the pub it makes for great conversations

[@jacobxlaird]

I know this video is almost 3 years old now, but I just stumbled upon it yesterday and since watching and implementing the technique I have already noticed a huge difference in my grouping/average/doubles (still awful, but a lot better by my standards, LOL!). I throw right handed but am left eye dominant, and I always struggled with feeling like I was blocking my vision by trying to aim with the dart under either eye. Always felt more comfortable bring the dart to the side of my face and having no view obstruction, but I was definitely overthinking it and trying to "replicate" pro's throws too much. Thanks for not just explaining the technique, but also for explaining why it works the way it does. It helped me a lot to get past the mental block I had with my throw and I am hoping to see continued improvement.

[@DynamiteDaveLlewellyn]

Go on try it all buddy it will blow your mind how good it is yes you will have to put some time in to convert from your throw to this one but you will be amazed how it improves your game... Dynamite Dave...

[@Cappah]

How you getting on mate? I am also left eye dom/right handed throw and I struggle bringing it to my weaker side like in the vid. Should I persist?

[@jacobxlaird]

@@Cappah Hey Cappah, I have actually completely changed my throw since this comment. I now aim more using my dominant eye (left) and bring the dart towards the middle of my face/just left of my nose rather than the right side of my face. Throwing the most consistent darts I ever have. Straight to the points darts had quite a few videos on his channel that really helped me. My main issue as i said in the original comment was feeling like I was blocking my view when trying to aim with the dart more centred in my view. All I did to help with this was lowering my elbow a tiny bit to bring the dart under my line of sight when I pull back and it made a huge difference. You just have to accept that things are going to feel VERY weird for a bit when changing any part of your throw. From my experience, it is worth it.

[@nvision26]

@@jacobxlaird @Cappah lads I'm in your boat as well, left eye dominant/right handed, super inconsistent/frustrating. Scouring the web looking for the fix. I think we found it. My accuracy has improved a lot since adjusting my throw this way. Cheers.

[@Enpassantful]

I always thought that trying to focus on the dart in hand and the board at same time wasn’t right, two different distances for starters. Holding the dart to the side makes a massive difference to the throw.

[@rackum44]

I'm left-handed also Dave I don't see many. Anyhow I believe the key to consistency is all in the release which I have a hard time to do it consistently. It's about letting go of the dart at the right time. If you hold on a fraction too long the dart goes low, if you let go a fraction too early the dart goes high, then of course missing left and right would be the arm movement

[@oldschoolwc]

great vid.! I think Barney, Cullen, and Suljovic do a good job of keeping there dart out of the way of there vision. many pros put the dart so in the middle of there face i cant tell if there right or left eyed dominant.

[@DynamiteDaveLlewellyn]

I have been coaching for a good few years now and I have to say I personally have found no evidence whatsoever for eye dominance. The only thing I can report as a fact is if your right handed you bring the dart in front of your right eye and your right eye dominant your pretty screwed. But out of some miracle of nature it seems 99% that claim eye dominance to me have an opposite dominant eye the the one there covering with the dart. And a small thing to think about the pros of today grew up chucking any old way and having to spend many years getting to a decent level. I am getting pub players with bad habits and converting them to the Dynamite Dave way where they are seeing massive results in months or even days for some. Cheers D Dave...

[@oldschoolwc]

@@DynamiteDaveLlewellyn thanks for writing back! generally its supposed to be about 10% that are "cross" eyed dominant ie eye and hand dominance are different and(i didnt know) but close to 20% might not have one at all. I really dont know the prevalence of it at a pro level. I typically think of a Bobby George as an example of a cross dominant player that is very pronounced in the manner in which he would bring the dart to the left. Taylor as well to a much lesser degree. It is possible that there is fluidity in eye dominance possibly where a temporary eye injury could lead to a switch in dominance or, it might be a stretch, but if you grew up throwing darts covering up a particular eye, it might inevitably lead to the other eye becoming dominant. forgot BDO champ Jim Williams stands out as well

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Great advice Dave and well explained about the vision. Sadly I am one of those with a dodgy set of peepers so if you have any advice for someone that basically only sees with the one eye (my left, I throw right) I am keen to hear it :)

[@safc88]

My problem is my arm naturally goes over face as a right hander so my arm is never straight. I then have to force it into position. My arm does a twirling motion which is I hate.

[@DynamiteDaveLlewellyn]

If you throw in any way for a prolonged period of time it's what you call natural you have worked out your own way of throwing used that and its what you perceive as natural. The natural way of kicking a football is with your toe just watch a toddler kick a ball but you will never become a pro footballer if you toe-bang the ball as you have no or little control over it. Same with Darts im afraid throwing a dart is just a technique poor techniques produce poor results on the whole, yes you will find players who have mastered a inefficient throw but they are latterly one in a million. There a now thousands of players across the world who have put the work in changed to the Dynamite Dave way and have seen miraculous results but it wont happen overnight and no one said it will be easy its not but worth it it certainly is buddy... D Dave...

[@gt9761]

Aiming is an interesting topic. I don't think the 'ball in to basket' analogy works here as you are standing side on which you wouldn't do on that situation. Another factor when not sighting down the dart is the offset between sight and arm - do you line your sight or your arm up with the centre of the board. This is the one element of your method that hasn't worked for me so far. Will give it another go though to make sure.

[@DynamiteDaveLlewellyn]

The ball in the basket is not ment to be done side on its to distract you from aiming at all it proves a point more than shows how to throw it takes your mind from associating aiming to throwing. ( its part of the mental side far more than the physical) ie when given a base or cricket ball do you put it up to your face before throwing it. Second I do not sight anything I look straight at the point I want the point of the dart to hit not the treble 20 one hair in the middle of the treble bed. for example do you when driving aim the bonnet of your car no you just look where your going and you end up there but everyone finds that natural. Less effort more faith in your ability =better outcome. cheers Dynamite Dave...

[@lloydy138]

Hi Dave, does this theory still apply if you’re left eye dominant with a right hand? Found out I was left eye dominant the other day and I was gutted (100% proven, when I throw with my right eye closed my darts are still fairly accurate) I’ve tried loads of new throws bringing it over more to my left eye but really struggling with it. When you do this throw on the pull back what do you look at in terms of the dart in peripheral vision, is it the point? This is how I basically used to throw similar nature to Michael smith (I was averaging up in the 65-70s) but thought I’d get higher averages moving it over to dominant eye but it’s clearly not working. I was really pushing to get to the top level but I feel I now that I won’t make it pro/semipro with a left dominant eye throwing all the way over to my right side (sometimes I don’t get a good site of the dart in line with t20 when moving it over to the right is my problem) Any guidance would help, thanks

[@DynamiteDaveLlewellyn]

First thing to say is did your optician or doctor diagnose your eye dominance as its impossible to say if i dont know what your eye problem is. My thoughts are. i have not found one player who i coach that has this phenomenon of eye dominance about 80% of them claim to have it when they come to me but could can't produce any medical evidence of its existence. I found it a fact that every single one of them were blocking there so called weak eye with there Darts or throwing hand this is not a form of dominance its simply like putting your hand over your eye and saying im now blind it that eye no one can see through a solid object buddy. How to solve it get that dart hand out of your line of sight its the only way mate. Cheers Dynamite Dave...

[@lloydy138]

@@DynamiteDaveLlewellyn Hi Dave, isn’t it a pretty standard test to assess which eye is dominant? (hands form a triangle looking at distant object with one eye closed, if it moves out of vision then it’s the eye that’s closed is the dominant eye).

Hi Dave how about if your right handed and left eye dominated? keep up the good work bro

[@armandoloureiro7158]

I must be honest. Why can't I hit the double one like I can hit most other numbers. Double one is my absolute worst and often end up there. It drives me mad.

[@DynamiteDaveLlewellyn]

And the harder you try the worse it becomes just throw at it like you do your fav double there all the same size buddy and easy to hit the problem is between your ears. D Dave...

[@TheMarathonomahos]

Aha. That explains why I've never seen a bird play darts. Makes sense now.

[@mavelm4n1attv40]

what if u are right handed with left dominant eye ? how i supposed to aim

[@thomasoboyle8942]

Dave does this method work with all flight types??

[@guygess]

By the way, do you play with the click systems harrows midi stems or do you prefer the short stems?

[@kameronkelly7954]

Forgive me for asking but I am guessing this method only works if you have the correct darts for your throw as I am still trying to find my feet with my darts.

[@DynamiteDaveLlewellyn]

Hi buddy, nothing further from the truth the DD way works for everyone watch the work for the new to darts video buddy

[@aljones3271]

What if you are right handed but you are left eye dominate? How is it possible to throw with accuracy if you are aiming the dart from the right side of your face??

[@DynamiteDaveLlewellyn]

Humm so if your right handed and left eye dominant how can you throw a cricket ball to the wicket from in front of your right eye 👁🤔

[@blademaster9297]

Ask Phil Taylor pretty sure he was the same lol

[@ShiftyGenesys09]

Im reading comments like can your advice really do this after watching the vid holy i feel so mich better throw feels comfortable and aim is good

[@mattmurdoch4345]

Some of my throws can be quite jerky as I don’t always feel I have as much accuracy when I follow through (and my darts sometimes drift to the right), do you have a video to help with this?

[@DynamiteDaveLlewellyn]

Hi matt i have videos on many aspects of the game but getting the basics right is key to consistently hitting your target. Here is where to start your journy to great play. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6TEi3pvjMeAask

[@mattmurdoch4345]

Thanks mate. Keep up the videos!

[@MontageGaming]

Both my eyes work perfectly but I have Amblyopia and my brain only lets me use one eye at a time. So if the dart was in front of one my eyes I wouldnt even see it my brain knows to use the non blocked eye

[@christondro232]

Love the game

Hi Dave.I'm about to be 15. Playing darts 1 year and a half .Recently I'm suffering with dartitis.I was just wondering if you have any tips for it.Thanks anyways... P.s Should I play left handed or fight with it?

[@ExtexDynamo]

Whats dartitis

[@roberccc]

@@ExtexDynamo search it on youtube

[@travisjdudley]

In my opinion I think just do what’s comfortable and works for you not everyone is the same. Look at Phil Taylor he throws in front of his face and he’s one of the best. But then again that’s just my opinion. Cheers

[@DynamiteDaveLlewellyn]

As I say if your ok with your game and you dont want or need to improve you dont need me. i only offer help to those who need it and want to get better at the game and as long as you enjoy the videos because there not only about coaching then that's fantastic. Cheers Dynamite Dave...

I struggle with my treble 20s,I've hit 180s but when I throw at a treble 20 its usually 1 or 5. I can throw double 20s brilliant but cant get my release correctly on. I'm just going to keep practicing I guess

[@deadpoolkoa7108]

Yep keep trying and will come right. For me it's all about staying relaxed try not let elbow move just your arm.

Dave I wish I had a coach like you, I would seriously consider training every day for 3 plus hours instead of one or two a day.

[@fisher7814]

Gary Anderson and a few of the other top players seem to make the aiming work though Dave

[@DynamiteDaveLlewellyn]

if you can throw as good as Gary you dont need me buddy. im trying to help those who cant master a querky throw its just logic to me.

[@fisher7814]

Ha I wish, just saying Dave
