Great advice. I have very recently started playing again and my darts were terrible. I was unsure of stance, what darts I should use all manner of things. Added to those things was the fact that I am now a right leg amputee and have a prosthetic leg. This video has shown me exactly what I needed to help my stance. My darts are not much better yet, but I know I am on the right path. Thank you for the great advice because I was really disenchanted with my darts.

I have been practicing my dart game daily for a total of two months and I have actually come a long way to being kinda decent. About two weeks in from deciding I was going to do this experiment "just to see" if the "practice makes perfect" rule applied to darts, I started taking in all the available information I could (KZbin) to help improve my accuracy and consistency. Found out I am right hand-left eye dominant and that was why I was struggling to aim with my eyes- up to that point I was just going off excessive repetition and muscle memory to aim at the different parts of the board. I have since, played around with everything from foot stance, body angle with the board, playing side to side on the throw line, different anchor points for bringing the dart back before the throw(im an 🏹 archer to begin with), my finger grip on the dart, my wrist angle(I found the flight and accuracy of my darts is better if my hand is slightly cocked backed at the wrist with the heel of my palm and fingers straight pointing toward the board, more cupped around the dart rather than pinched) I've tried a couple different dart weights, barrel shapes, standard vs slim flights... Anything that might affect performance. I'm pretty decent and do my share of winning. However, whenever I play with/against my husband who stands 6'2" height I feel like it's completely unfair that the throw line is never adjusted to compensate for height variations. It seems that there is significantly more physical effort and skill required for someone standing at 5ft to aim with accuracy and consistency than someone standing 6ft tall WITH AN ADDITIONAL 4 inches of arm length. I'm developing whole new muscle groups while he is effortlessly dropping them into the board from what looks like less than a yard away. 🧐😫😜

@9:25 the ol' saying in practice.."Those who can't do....teach." Not only did you hit something off target, but I noticed your form/follow through with your throw wasn't very good. But you did say a lot the correct things and gave solid advice. People always ask how I'm so consistent and why I can literally hit any target so accurately and consistently with ease. I tell them basically everything he said. I just tell them for me at least it's all about making your body as steady/planted as possible, follow through with your throw...like how you would shooting a basketball,swinging in baseball,golf..ect..following through has been proving in majority of sports in accuracy...and most importantly...I tell them to make sure their elbow is completely straight (this is what I seem to always focus on and think of as I'm throwing). I think most casual dart players don't understand that throwing with a straight elbow in one fluid motion(no flicking of the wrist as you release...that small flick can make you far from target by inches...it's extremely important in throwing accurately and making you in full control of putting the dart where you want it.

Having foot problems has made me have an unusual stance, lol. I have watched several videos about having a proper stance and I am trying to adjust my stance to help improve my darts. I think I will always stand flat-footed (equal weight between my feet) but I am slowly finding ways to keep a solid foundation, good balance and give my arm enough room to throw as straight as possible. I'm getting there a little at a time. I am a determined shooter!

Please let me know if I understood correctly: does my hand between elbow and hand/fingers should be in vertical before throw and during the throw as well? I'm asking, because when I recorded my throw, I can see my hand is at an angle.
@DartsClass
@DartsClass 2 жыл бұрын
The more vertical your forearm is the better - that means you will be pulling the dart back straight, and following through straight, this should improve your consistency, especially on the trebles. When aiming at other parts on the board, your arm should stay the same, but a slight twist in your torso, or change of angle in your stance to line up the new target. This will mean every dart you throw should be very similar in your arm and it will stop you having to use your shoulder to propel the darts 👍🎯

I was specifically looking for advice on this and was considering what it would be like to lead with my left foot instead of right. That is how I came across your video.

Nice concise explanation, Bryn. A comfortable stance is the thing I am trying to get right at the moment, I've tried the back leg directly in line with the front and rotating the torso technique.....I'll end up popping my knee out if I keep that up! Oh, BTW I mentioned to you on twitter that I got the flight punch.....absolutely brilliant, mate! Throwing for nearly two hours last night and only had 1 flight detach, and that was because the stem ring broke.

With left and right or like North East or SW, there are different degrees that might need to judge when you throw.

The advice about locking the knee is already working for me, and I can feel the calf muscle working harder. Will take some getting used to, but I'm sold on the technique. Also (reading DartsNutz threads), I am refraining from any feint throws and from rolling the dart barrel in my fingers. This does indeed, give my eyes better focus and gives my brain the stillness it needs to make the throw happen. I am closer than ever to stacking darts. My biggest problem is trying to land the third dart the same as the first two. Just can't seem to change that trend 🙄🤬 Must be my own head - game?

What advice would you have to someone who has been playing darts for almost 2 years and still just sprays all over the board most of the time? I’ve worked on stance, grip and throw the best I can, but I’ve seen almost little to no improvement from day one. I love darts and enjoy playing, but I’d love to graduate from playing on my own in the bedroom to getting out and playing in a small league or team down the pub, but don’t want to totally embarrass myself.

It would be hard to say without seeing you throw. If you want to send me a dm on twitter with a video of you throwing 6 or 9 darts I can see if something stands out 👍🎯

Hi....If your strong foot is at the line, does it matter if your arm crosses the line? i just couldn't remember lol. Getting back into it! Thanks for the video!

No, the only thing that matters is your foot, as long as that's behind the line you can lead as far forwards as you like in theory

Do you have any superstitions with certain darts or colours? I can only use darts that are black or green or both,same with stems and flight colours,I won't use any that don't have black or green. My shirt is black and green too.

Never had any superstitions with my darts themselves, I used to buy multiple sets of flights and stems with the same spec but it different colours and just change them whenever one needed changing, often giving me a complete clashing set. Drives my teammates mad! I have loads of superstitions / habits I have to do on the day of a game or tournament etc though! Some of them are weird and wonderful!

Thanks for the great vid! I’ve very recently gotten into darts (got my Winmau board and tungsten darts last week!). I’ve always loved throwing for fun here and there, but now that I’m done with college football (and out of school), I’ve really enjoyed making it a sport to practice on my own. One question I was hoping you could help me with: As someone who is right handed, yet is blind in their right eye (but has perfect vision in their left eye), I’m not sure what the best positioning is for me. I’m sure that, even in my case, a lot of it will come down to what feels best/natural... but I was wondering if you could suggest a thing or two that you think, in theory, would be best for someone like me to consider (eg., which of those stances, what side to stand on, etc)? I understand if you can’t get to this message, thank you regardless! *Edit* - Just realized most of the dart videos I have saved to my “watch later” are from your channel haha... I definitely subscribed and am looking forward to watching/learning more!

Thank you for watching Joseph. Glad you're taking up darts more seriously... There's so much room for growth of the game stateside! It would be best for you to probably take a more front on approach. This will mean that when you pull the dart back it will come towards the bridge of your nose / centre of your face rather than your right side that has no sight. If I were you I'd watch Simon whitlocks position. You may also want to reach out to Jamie Caven, a long time professional darts player who is also blind in one eye, he would be better placed to advise you and I'm sure he'd be happy to respond if you contacted him on twitter / his website. Thanks for watching, keep throwing! 👍🎯

@@DartsClass Thanks a lot for the reply. Super grateful you took the time to give me such a thoughtful answer with multiple pointers/suggestions. I'm excited to practice the front-on approach! I can't believe I haven't tried or thought of that yet; it sounds very fitting for me (and appears so from your video)! Also, that's amazing to hear about Jamie Caven. I'm looking forward to researching him more. Definitely gonna watch Simon Whitlock as well! Thanks again. Glad to receive such great help on my first time reaching out for personal advice.

Finally through this video I may find out why my throw is so inconsistent... I filmed my throwing action this afternoon and found that my forearm is not perpendicular to the floor and pull back at an angle! But it is quite awkward and stiff for me to make my forearm straight, do you think it is necessary to make it as straight as I can to improve my consistency and any hint to make it straight with less effort?

Haha well ill take that as a testimonial for the video! Might allow a more open body decision for you and relax your throw as the 9oclock foot position can close you off too much and tense your upper body, which needs to be relaxed!

I throw 60 really often, the darts come a mm above triple 20, or below triple 20. This causes my average to hang at 65 average. And I just can't place what this is about. Really annoying lol...
