Improve at darts 100 % guaranteed with this simple trick

Improve your darts by using sport specific training tools. The foundation of any upright object is the most important area. This video and the equipment highlights will hope you understand and gain a firm stable base of support. This vital in all sports and will help keep that centre line of gravity in line with the body . When these 2 areas are not in sync this causes pushing or darts, late releases and addionitonal movement in the body, AMONG MANY OTHER ISSUES. I cant stress how important getting the base of support is !!

Matthew seems like an absolutely top man. Great vid. I also look forward to following his career and cheering him on

[@dwaynedibbley436]

Ive been playing darts for 30 years..Anytime I speak to a nubie I always say a good throwing action starts with your feet and stance and balance is part of that as you will typically have 80+% of your weight on your front foot. My stance is pretty solid but newbies might find this usefull

[@claudioelgueda6020]

What’s your average after 30 years playing this beautiful sport? Mine is 80+ playing 3 years

[@eoghanlamont]

Great to see you back playing Ben, watched you growing up and looked up to you as a young keeper... I'm a 28 year old dad for 4 now who's probably 28 stone overweight to go with it. All the best for the rest of the season

[@camdyas5459]

Another great tip edgar struggling with my balance after just having a knee op and being a young player (20), im finding a big difference already by just changing stance slightly, thankyou keep up the good work buddy

[@michaellinner7772]

Totally agree that the back foot is just for stabilization. My mantra is the more one can minimize superfluous movement the more accurate one will be. I've demonstrated to many people that it's possible to actually hit the board with wrist action alone (to show that men don't have any advantages of strength over women). I wouldn't recommend to shoot that way but it shows that any body movement should be eliminated and the shot should be reduced to just the arm. This eliminates extra variables that can cause problems. Watch the best players and look at their heads. There's never any movement. They isolate their arms for the shot.

Great video! Also wearing no drop shoes instead of shoes with uneven cushion that wear out and give more variance in your game! I recommend Vivo barefoot shoes, I believe they look the best. This tip is crucial^ for the same consistent shoe every time you practice.

Hi Mattiew, if I find a perfect balance stance position on these guys, should I copy that stance on the flat surface (floor) and that would be a perfect solid stance for my throws is that right? Thanks mate. 🎯🎯🎯😜

[@Edgartvdarts]

Once you got a good balance on uneven surface. Lift your arms as that changes the centre of mass. If still balance try applying a bit of force. If all is good then move to the flat surface

[@Edgartvdarts]

No but polo will

[@FatOssssss]

Just to make sure I got that right, you use the wobble thingy until you can throw darts on it without loosing balance and then do the same on the floor? Basicly, I could only use them for 5 minutes and not need them anymore or it could take ages.

[@Edgartvdarts]

That’s the short version

[@FatOssssss]

@@Edgartvdarts In short, what would be the long version?

[@doubleeweteeeff2514]

Mr. PrimeTime - What adjustments did you make to your stance as a result of your experimentation with the wobble boards?

[@Edgartvdarts]

It was a while ago I used these maybe 2 years or so after I broke my hand, these shown me I had a dip in my hip, moving centre line of gravity outside my body. I used these to reset myself and bring that line back in

How much is qeb came 1 to 1 training

[@legalamb6794]

Matt, sorry to ask you this but have struggled to find the answer for 20+ years. How do you stop thinking about your throw when on oche. I am always thinking about grip aim form release etc instead of letting body do what it has been trained to. Any help appreciated thanks. Bob

[@themons513]

Very interesting and informative video. I will definitely give them a go. My throw has been absolutely wrecked for about ten years from dartitis, and I genuinely think it's more of a balance issue now - I'm just used to throwing myself all over to compensate for trying to release the bloody dart! How long would you suggest using them per day to start to make a difference?

[@Edgartvdarts]

For balance just 5-10 minute exercises are fine. For using them as a throwing aid as suggested in this video it’s just to feel out what’s stable when the floor is it

Shut your eyes and throw your darts. Start from 3 feet and get your mind using to throwing free. Then just focus on hitting a part of the board, then each number. Its just lack of focus. Mind over matter. I went thru it myself.
