Im trying to get back into the game after 13 years out. When i was 21 i got fibromyalgia. I had played about 6 months and i was banging in 25 180s in my practice sessions. I lost my pub league singles final to county player who also played our league. Since i put the board back up its all gone, im back to square one. I just couldn't bare playing for a long time because i could no longer follow my dream of playing county and then Q school. Worlds this year has made me want to play for fun again. These videos are super helpful for me. I had the muscle memory in the past due to the hours and hours i was playing. Its been frustrating because i remember when my misses were on the wire, it used to feel like my brain did it on autopilot.

[@DynamiteDaveLlewellyn]

Hi Buddy i am going to be honest with you and i don't do it any other way. Right. That was then and this is now believe me if i had a quid for every player who has a similar story to yours i would be a millionaire Lol Let me explain what has happened Firstly your not the same person as you were 13 years ago your body will have changed your muscle mass tone and flexibility will all be different if you had played through this your throw would have adapted to the changes as they happened and you possibly would have remained a good player. Also your mental side will have changed to as we mature our perception rational and brain speed will have declined as it does for everyone. so the way back is take your time adopt the DD system work at it get the basics nailed and you will progress and believe me you can become better that you ever were before but that my friend is all up to you. Cheers Dynamite Dave...

[@soup8786]

@DynamiteDaveLlewellyn I have implemented the number one most important thing I was doing wrong which I knew anyway, but because of your video In my head everytime I would throw iffy darts iv stopped it. That's keeping my elbow up. I hit 11 tons in a row today which is the most iv hit since I got fibro. I had this down in the past but it's easy to lose that discipline. It takes a lot of energy mentally until it becomes natural. Thanks to you I don't get stressed I just tell myself to keep your damn elbow up and follow through at the target. A week ago I couldn't hit a 180 for love nor money. Iv hit 4 today. Big up dynamite dave.

[@petereltringham8032]

Just started playing again after about 30 years, watched this tutorial and hit my first ever 180 and my grouping improved massively.... great advice!!

[@DynamiteDaveLlewellyn]

Thanks buddy stick with it and you will grow and grown.

Not played darts since i was a kid got the bug again bought a dartboard and some arrows and I followed your method works for me Dave. It’s dynamite 🧨 😅Well done. Good work !

[@redline350zHR]

Have to admit, theres something about your channel here, Dave, that ive been specifically drawn to….your advice/techniques/tips are GOLD. They work, & youve helped me tremendously. I am subscribed to your on my other KZbin channel as well as on this one. Best part is being able to revisit your videos & remind myself where i need to make an adjustment, as i am a fairly new player who practices every single day for hours-mainly bc i LOVE the sport 🎯 Thank you Dave! Full support!

[@mac1shot1kill]

Great advice and tips, been over 40years since I played comp, your info is fantastic and bringing back a lot of what i have forgotten .Thanks

Happy New Year Dave. Great video, this is perfect for everyone starting out, even if they take parts of the Dynamite Dave way. For sure the importance of the stance and position of the body is key to controlling the throw. 👍🏻🎯

[@justinpg3414]

Merry Christmas Dave and crew! Edit: I never realized the turn so you can see the board had your throw in line with where you’d finish drawing it back on the cheek. I’d smash that point more for the slow guys like me. 😂 Great video, Dave!

[@AdamJonesIOM]

Cheers Dave for these videos, really helpful with finetuning the setup and throw!

[@AdamJonesIOM]

Well @Dynamite Dave Llewellyn, two weeks ago when I posted this comment I was playing the best darts I ever have, averaging about 49/52 in most of my games with good checkout %. Since then and today I went to turd and was 34/35 averaging every game and couldn't hit a double in a game to save my life. I then revisited this video.....used this to reset and ensure my stance was neutral and remove any bad subconscious habits may be there and it's never felt so natural ever! Back to the averages I would expect of myself. Can't thank you enough mate, this really is magic. Quick question, do you offer 1 to 1 coaching? I'm on the Isle of Man however next time I have the financial means to travel to the UK I'd love to stop by for a bit of fine tuning. Cheers Dave!

[@joyduke2956]

hi belgium here, i try all cinde trows and i must say you way making me more relax,just need to find my resistens now bud working wel thanks fore your caring

[@tomgoossens4178]

Great video's Dave just started watching you and must say you really explain things verry good. Trying out your tips seem to really work😅. Keep going

[@DynamiteDaveLlewellyn]

Hi Tom just stick with it and the rewards will be fantastic it works for all and is so simple to do very few things in the throw so very little to go wrong but dead easy to fix if it does. Cheers D Dave...

[@redline350zHR]

😂 i tried to show this girl i met at the bar some helpful tips after getting to know her for a couple months, bc she threw with her shoulder and lifted her back leg. She ended up cursing me out, refused to play darts with me after that….simply bc she thought i was “annoying her”😩 (we dated for months but ill never forget how she wouldnt listen to a single soul who tried to suggest the RIGHT/SIMPLE way to stand & throw darts)

[@darrenaddidle8560]

Hi mate, Happy New Year. Im just getting back into throwing after a few years of throwing very little. Ive always been very inconsistent with my grip, can never throw 6 darts the same. Any tips of finding the grip that suits me best?

[@JxydenFC]

Cheers Dave! My dream is to become a darts player (I’m 13) and people like you really help me, thank you 🎯

[@DynamiteDaveLlewellyn]

My best advice is keep it simple the more there is in your throw the harder it is to repeat therefore the less successful your progress will be. Millions of Dart players never get better than Frankly quite poor because they believe you can throw any old way and become great. As a football player you will know there is a right way to kick a ball and as night follows day there is a right way to throw a dart as well. Cheers D Dave...

[@JxydenFC]

[@DynamiteDaveLlewellyn]

Your very welcome buddy look through my channel page there are over 500 videos covering all aspects of both the DD way and darts in general like reviews how to tune up your darts Etc.

[@raydarby8642]

I’m so much better when I just throw instinctively. When I focus on everything I’m awful

[@DynamiteDaveLlewellyn]

The way i teach is to throw like your having a nice hot bath relax and just trust your body look at the target and put the dart in it. No effort no drama the second you start to over think you tense up your muscles then don't do what you want them to and it starts a fight between your body and your mind and no one wins especially not your game...

[@Raidallinen76]

Greetings from Finland! Great and unique videos. Wondering how you move your position if you aim different side of board or up/down. You bend your upperbody and elbow goes more down? Or you move only hand?

[@DynamiteDaveLlewellyn]

Great question buddy here is the video that answers this question kzbin.info/www/bejne/bn6ton98l754ecksi=AoGPLPN-Xwgw_fkv Cheers D Dave...

[@Raidallinen76]

@@DynamiteDaveLlewellyn Thanks!!! Only video I missed...

[@bronzback555]

Hello, I watch all your videos and they helped me alot. My throw is very similar to yours. The problem I have is when I draw back my thumb moves and changes the direction of the dart then when I go to throw it's in a different position as the starting set up. If that makes sense. For some reason it's hard for me to keep the dart in the same set up position on the bring back. You slightly went over this in this video. Any suggestions on why this is happening. I'm almost pushing the dart instead of throwing. Thank you

[@DynamiteDaveLlewellyn]

send me a clip of your throw on what's app ([phone]) min of 5 visits from front 5 from side. and i will tell you where your going wrong this one is on me buddy.

[@Brer1212]

Seems like the foot position to the oche has changed slightly from earlier videos. Instead of dead parallel, there is angle. Tried it and seems more natural. However, it also seems when I shift my weight to forward foot, the trailing heel wants to also move forward, creating approx 30° angle. Seems to work better. Gotta figure out quickly, League's spring season start in three weeks. Great video BTW.

[@DynamiteDaveLlewellyn]

Hi Buddy yes it changed some years back its a very small change and it came about after my operation and also after consulting with many DD players to confirm my findings. It relieves the chance of ancle knee and hip pain due to over rotation. Now this doesn't tend to affect the younger players because of youth but as we get older the riggers of time act on our muscles and joints making both weaker and much less flexible. As im sure you would agree the key to any good technique is continuously looking for improvements and over some 13 years now there have been only one or two minor tweaks suggesting the whole system is fairly robust. As for the feet i have just gone and had a go to see if i get what you say and i do. Keep your feet shoulder apart as you rock slightly let your front hip a little further into its socket that stops the erg to move back foot in. Cheers And thanks for the great message. Dynamite Dave...

[@stephenburston8197]

Awesome video. I’m six foot with (I think abnormally long) long forearms. If it stand straight with my arm at 90 degrees the darts way above my head. If I drop my arm down then when I come back to throw the dart it will brush my shoulder and put me off with the follow through. Do I have to lean way forward to get everything to work your way? Is height and different body shapes not always suited to your style?

[@DynamiteDaveLlewellyn]

Hi Buddy no all hights and body shapes work with the DD way if your tall will be adressed in the next video so subscribe and like hit the bell for notifications its dead simple to adjust for your hight.

[@stephenburston8197]

@@DynamiteDaveLlewellyn thanks for the reply mate. I followed your series from stance to follow through about a year ago. I hit my first 180 and 171 within a few throws. I didn’t want to put the darts down. Unfortunately I did and am back to being the 26 king again. Lol. Look forward to your lesson on tall and long armed players and reviewing you older videos. All the best.

[@sawdust46]

One issue I have is my release point. Many darts seem to hit low for where I aim. I believe I am holding on a bit longer and struggle to find that release point. Great video Dave!

[@DynamiteDaveLlewellyn]

Hi Buddy go to my channel page and hit the videos button then search for the release its 100% natural with the DD way just like chucking a ball into a basket o search that to lol Cheers D Dave...

[@bm1828]

I'm the opposite, I'm prone to throwing some way above the board. Happens far too often, so I end up dropping my arm and then the throw just reverts to up too often. Can't win

[@Brer1212]

Have you tried different weighted darts? I started with 26g steel tip darts, but now I throw 22 & 23g. Next set will be 21g. Also consider the steel composition. I have a set that is 97% tungsten and they throw more like the 23g+. I feel the more you throw, the lower you will go.

[@DynamiteDaveLlewellyn]

@@Brer1212 hi buddy i find weight a bit of a misnomer as i developed the DD way i found because i had no biases to weight or shape that i could throw multiple weights shapes in the same hand of darts and play virtually the same as with three of any weight or shape just have a watch of this vid. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKC0YWxthbykqq8si=ecTY9zJtfsNMm1UV

[@seankelly9447]

When you aim at the dart in the 60 do i aim for the flight or the tip?

[@DynamiteDaveLlewellyn]

At the flight as the entry point crossed the flight not the point buddy always the flight same if you have a double and you go just outside. cheers D Dave...

Yep vertical and let it come to the side of your face buddy its a bit awkward but it will become second nature and your game will lift big time.

[@Jeiku22]

Hey Dave, I’m trying to start playing darts and I’m worried about putting holes in my wall when going for doubles, this makes me scared of doubles, any advice?

[@3_peat]

You can get a foam ring that hangs on the board and adds protection for the wall.

[@DynamiteDaveLlewellyn]

Yep get a surround for your board or if you can't afford one just use a piece of old carpet behind your board make sure its at least a foot wider than your board. Or if your board is on a stand use an old curtain and hang it behind your board and at least 6 inches from any wall or door this will catch the darts like a net and they will just slide down in to the floor. Cheers D Dave...

[@Jeiku22]
