Play Perfect Darts

David Croft shows you how using Winmau SightRight Technology
Watch this superb instructional video with the voice of darts David Croft, who shows you how to improve your darts and get perfectly positioned on the oche.
SightRight's 4 easy steps gives you Perfect Dart Vision so you can position yourself perfectly on the oche time and time again.
SightRight prevents sighting across the line (like 99% of TV dart professionals).
Why set up at the number 5 when you're aiming for treble 20?
Once you learn how to SightRight, your technique and biomechanics develop a symmetrical throw i.e. Double 16 and Double 10 will feel the same.
SightRight straightens up the path of your darts into the dartboard dramatically reducing blocked doubles and trebles.

When i tried this,the first dart i hoyed hit my eight year old daughter,in the neck. I got nine months for child cruelty. The judge told me,it wasn't so much the dart injury he was jailing me for, it was the length of time she had to stand there while i scored 501,that he took particular exception to.

[@cqstle-]

Thanks for posting this helpful video. There's a lot that goes into darts and it's good to know that after years of playing I can still learn more. Cheers.

[@morrieolson3781]

Very important information about sighting correction.

[@dougbardsley1960]

Totally enjoyed these tips. Thank you.

[@DARTSREVIEWS]

Very interesting product. I tried it and i already have the right stance but it was very interesting to know. Most of the players try darts and flights and stems but don´t really think about the right position at the oche.

[@user-jx1ug8dw1b]

Thanks for posting such a perfect way to play darts.

[@bcsolorza]

This definitely helped me out

[@jonescrusher1]

That was actually informative, well done.

[@user-jx1ug8dw1b]

Brilliant darts!! I can tell you. My hat off to Steve. Well done.

Thank you for this!

best advert for anything ever

[@danielpooleoriginal]

Ok you have finally confinced me to buy this product. im not one for vidos and other improvement products in darts, I found you can learn everything from experianced players, but this product seems to help you corrct your self and do what other players say you should do. Iv been working on my throw for over a year now and have been asked to play county darts for glamorgan though im really unconsistan so im hopeing this can help and I shall let you know the results once I have used it, Thanks.

[@mikieson]

i cant help but wonder if all the people leaving absolute rude comments have even played darts OR even enough to comment?There are techniques to EVERYTHING we do to make them easier and more precise. SO when someone that knows a little secret that might help...I dont know..Maybe listen?

[@digitalscribbler68]

That's expensive for a piece of foam, but just following the advice here helps quite a bit for reducing my sideward dispersion. I have one of these in my RD shopping cart now for when I place my next order.

[@jas477]

Needed to review this again lefty right eye dominate recomend board helps greatly

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Can work for some, so could be worth a try I guess :)

[@saltyfry8688]

Ok that's it I'm gonna go pro this week!

[@Phil_McAvity]

People may laugh & make fun at Darts/players but darts coaching is soo far behind the times/nonexistent that there's actually a lot of money to be made from coaching products. This is a great start.

[@gunterromeo8979]

Awesome Tips, just got into Darts . Thank you !!

[@charliemagri1669]

Keeping the arm in one position is good advice, but every player does that and without even thinking about it. The key is to grip your darts and be able to throw them in a straight and comfortable way. The wrist should move from right to left and release each dart, before the arm begins to move downwards. I hope this advice is clear!

[@DennisCLatham]

WOW ..... Glad I ran across this video ... THANKS Winmau Darts

[@TheRatPack168]

In my hunt for improving my game all this is exactly what I've been working with. And it helps! A lot! Centerline is important because it alloud the player to practice ONE throw. Players who stand off-center must calculate the variabel distance between left and right side of the board and adjust their throw after that. Find the centerline, practice that one needed throw, improvement guaranteed! IMPORTANT: Grip the dart the exact same way every time! It's a part of the "one throw theory".

[@YippikayeeMF]

[@shermanthetank]

Someone mentioned - just stand in the middle. Whilst one holds the dart, is the dart now left of center line with the left hand and vise versa? So how do you align your throwing arm?

[@brendan2575]

Oh cool

[@LuvMyGaia]

Is there ANY way to get this in the US?? I have been trying for a year and can find no one in UK to even ship here.

[@bmaupin11]

First thing I thought was that it needed more lines. Researched, low and behold SightRight 2 has multiple lines LOL. I admit that I throw from the center TOO much and should step back and re-align for each #.

[@markablett4571]

I’ve recently got back into playing darts I’m 50 years old and haven’t played since being a teenager I need work on my positioning at the oche R/H player Can you give me any tips? Is the sight line central to the bull

[@roofgroenenberg4101]

where can i get a mat like that ?

[@oden4370]

Im father is a champion dart player in California his from Philippines of course me too so he teaches me how to throw a dart then i get it

[@pboozoo]

How do I get those lines on my oche please? Thank you

[@tomyates5075]

I have the same problem though my darts always wonder to the 1... how to you correct this is you don’t have the two lines to correct yourself?

[@unknowmysteries5925]

You can make your own straight or not detector out of a piece of 1x4 and a 1x1 and paint it black stack the smaller board on top and then you can find out if your straight. 😁

[@2swank4u]

seems like it just matches eye dominance with handedness. if your righthanded and left eye dominant, you have to correct it or you always aim off.

[@MrConnolly25]

All about how you release the dart.... Stance and whether you are straight is un-important, if your not comfortable you will release the dart wrong. The actual release of the dart is all about timing, repetitive practice is the way forward. Comfortable stance, comfortable clothing, comfortable shoes etc.... All about timing, comfort and practice! I'm not a pro but have played off over a 1000 in the handicap Leagues, complicating a basic game will probably make you worse in the long run.

[@DartsReviewChannel]

I agree you have to be comfortable and it helps if your technique is as uncomplicated as possible which means your more easily able to repeat it. I have spent the last 4 years trying to build a new throw after losing my original natural throw through injuries. I dont know why but I got it into my head that I had to be as straight on as possible and done various things to get my body lined up and looking pretty much like a robot throwing a dart lol Ok I think been as straight as you can be is good for alignment but it wont be possible for everyone and I ended up with an incredible painful shoulder thats took about 5 months to ease, now I just let my body dictate its own natural line but try to keep the darts in a straight back and forth plane, my body will adjust itself to achieve that.

[@tmitchell6552]

i agree. my feeling is its about wrist and hand position and consistent release of the dart.

[@djmelloman]

MrConnolly25 This is really good advice thanks :) :)

[@devo2]

Agree compleetly with you. Timing, comfort and practice are they key parts. But i did see a video of Wayne Mardle who made a pretty good point. A firm and steady base is key, but this falls in line with "comfort". The other thing he pointed out that is crutial, is a level elbow. I tried it out my self and started to notices that with my elbow lowered, i evry now and then pulled the darts down.

[@SuperChalkster]

help me

[@lilday7138]

How can i get the sight right?

[@ChrisHopkinsBass]

Do those darts have DRS? Sorry - getting my sports mixed up

He's using right handed darts.🙌

[@AjSmithhh]

tried this at home, doesnt work just someone telling you to stand couple inches to the right in a posh way, my conclusion is that hes a bellend

[@misseslaviva]

😃😂😂😂😂😂 bellending...

[@niklawrence8310]

Ted Hankey stands right over to the right and is a pretty class player. Would love his opinion on this .

[@Phil_McAvity]

There's always a few players in any sport that break the "textbook" coaching rules, Ted Hankey is one. This product is good & very relevant for a beginner to gain consistency.

[@johnbuell8035]

After this video I did an 8 dart finish

[@Mersipher]

How do you help someone who's left handed and has arthritis? My wrists have almost ZERO bend and I'm end up lobbing them as if I'm throwing a ballistic missile. I'm decent enough but man is it weird. Any tips for someone with my situation?

[@kimbarfoot5251]

I got one of these and according to it I should stand way to the left. But my grip position then points the dart off the board. It dont help imo.

[@johndavidson.9321]

Oi I am a lefty double 12 and double six best doubles

[@mangler2185]

What if you don't have that mat? Like in a league?

[@WarrenAckary]

OK, it seems a good "training aid" but what about those who in practice come to depend on it? Personally I would like to see Winmau come up with something like a laser version.. either one though wouldnt help me, have you seen a training aid that could help me like it did for Crofty. Winmau you make great products but I am sorry I am not convinced this will work

[@davidscullion4229]

I have played darts for a local team didn't take it to seriously it was only a bit of fun on a Friday night. But after getting this product I can now hit a nine Darter with ease LOL. I think you either have it or you don't. But if you practice everyday it's the only way you will get better and if you get really good you could turn professional from Scully LFC.

[@mattchadders9776]

ha i just thaught the way winmau get sales is they get a good darts player to play bad and then say he adjusted were he was stood then tell him to play good

[@shermanthetank]

My conclusion is that standing in the middle is the least of any throwers worries. There are many situations where you have to move over because of an intervening dart. Therefore is it safe to assume the most important thing is correct alignment no matter where you stand away from centreline?

[@TheSeszilla]

Exactly!

[@Benswan187]

Yes sir.

[@damonhunkins7945]

Phil Taylor never moves from his setup no matter what. Same repetitive motion consistently. You don't ever want to have to move.

hey ive got a lot of troubles with my game, mainly release errors where the darts go in the board at extreme angles. when my darts were good I was super lge quality, now at the moment I just feel like I want to quit because I am doing something wrong but I don't know what it is. its not the darts and its not the sight lines because ive always stood to the right.

[@benburke4122]

Just make one with two pieces of wood and draw with a sharpie the lines instead of paying for an overpriced piece of plastic

whats happens if you're a righty

[@hamdanmohammed3509]

you know what i didnt tried this i actually moved to the right hand side the oche and now im hittin' 180s , 140s etc...

[@proDavid116]

Top Tip, Do not listen to anyone develop your own stance and throw.

[@TheRayFrom1989]

I love how everyone in the comments is a fricken pro but most likely haven't even thrown a single 180 in their life.

[@charliemagri1669]

2:19. Only considered the best doubles, just because you don't have to move your arm very far, if you hit single 16. Doesn't make them easier to hit!

[@seriouslycreepy666]

Can i just say i brought a set of winmau sub zeros not impressed as only had them a month and the tips are bronzing already your boards are great tho 😁

[@Fletchlie]

*rope! Just to add, there really isn't anything a line is going to do. The reason you stand where you stand is to do with eyesight and where it's comfortable for you. Take the line away and you will go back to standing where's natural. It's like throwing a snowball at something as a kid, yeah you might miss a couple of times but persist and you'd get it close maybe even on the button. I remember throwing stuff at stuff from all angles, was a good shot too didn't need a line. This is just the same it's down to practice not a silly line. Maybe those struggling should look at their eyesight and/or coordination. It's hard to swallow but some people just aren't good at throwing stuff and this aims to make money out of them.

[@myleseman]

You can't take a sight right to a game though so it's pointless! Also not all players like to stand in the centre of the board such as gilding

[@pmb6667]

He specifically SAID that you *eventually CONDITION yourself and your body to the natural POSITIONING or angle when you're at a PUB*, recognizing where the center is and *adjusting correctly from that center position*, so you would NOT even need to take the damn device with you. Y'all don't LISTEN when you watch videos though? Jesus.

[@RaymondReise]

I was clearly wrong when I said women are the best when it comes to doing pointless unnimportant shit and yet making it look super super important and complex.

[@benrichards399]

Most pros think site right is shite in all sports they've tried.

[@MrThehardertheycome]

SightRight "technology" is a flimsy board with white lines painted on it and you can't take it to a real game either. A lot of the pros are lining up visibly to one side (Barney or Anderson for example). I think you would have to have a pretty big error in the way you line up to benefit from this product.

[@steventalbot2505]

Winmau Blade is not a cheap board the white numbers are for visability and you can rotate them

[@MrThehardertheycome]

I was talking about the 'SightRight' floor board they are clearly advertising in this video, see 4:11, 5:20, etc. My comment has nothing to do with the actual dart board.
