My advice, from someone who's had very similar experience, including the yips at a young age. Is to go back to the right hand. Redefine what "good is" the feel of the dart and arm is more important than what you're hitting. If you're trying to get your game back. Darts is a unique sport, you can throw a bad dart and hit a decent score ect. Let go of the outcome. Also, I've been watching your page for a few years, when you " practice" you typically just go for the treble 20. You need a consistent practice routine. That you religiously stick to. No wasted darts. I know where you're at. There are other physical factors as well. Soft tissue damage following years of overthrowing and snatching ect, that can all be improved upon. I'm a physical therapist, I've been playing darts for 16 years. I really can help from that perspective. I'd love to have a video call with you Jack, and over some advice. Cheers.

I think a good tip is to just use your left hand in day to day life more. Like, brush your teeth left handed, chop with the knife left handed, hold your mug of tea(beer) left handed, just little things like that will train your psyche and muscle memory overall

I feel this. I remember hitting 180’s for fun as a teenager and thinking I’d be good enough to be a pro, after a few years I noticed I was slowing down a lot couldn’t throw fast like I used to, felt like I was getting worse and worse for years and the more I thought about it the worse my throw seemed to get, dartitis is a struggle. Good luck Jack, never give up!

Think this is up there with your best ever videos.. So much relatable content: Your right handed throw similar to mine, dart points towards 12 when drawing back. You were once good/capable of throwing 65 and now around 50-55. You don't enjoy playing badly (who would? But we all love darts). I also wish I could forget everything I know about throwing a dart and starting again 😢 I wish I could change my mentality to simply enjoying playing darts rather than wanting to play well and winning every match

Hey Jack nice you have joined the lefty squad! (I am left). I got some tips: when you go to a double in a match always try to go for tops not for double 16. For a left player it’s harder to throw at double 16. Double six is easier for left players. I like this concept for videos! Wish you the luck to get better with left 👍

I developed dartitis late last year, went from a 70s average and climbing, fast paced throw to not being able to let go of a dart. I found changing from my usual longer barrels (54mm) to shorter (sub 50mm) and using two different coloured flights. Instead of focusing on throwing the darts I now focus on throwing in colour sequence eg blue red blue and have found it has helped massively with my action. Also I had to remember to just have fun! Hope this helps someone in some way 🎯

As an archer I exactly understand Your pain. I shoot for nearly 2 decades. After shooting for a couple of years I became one of the best traditional archer around. Then something happened and I just stopped scoring well. Target panic crept in in 2018 and I was done. Now I'm merely a shadow of myself. I started shooting left handed too. It helped a bit. But I also struggle with worsening eyesight. So I'm now average and started training others :).

I'm naturally right-handed for most other things. When I very first began throwing darts, sat on the floor in front of the board propped against a dining room chair aged about 3, for whatever reason I settled on playing left-handed. I played that way for probably 10 years up to and including playing for Dorset County youth, but eventually I got such bad joint pain in my left elbow I had to switch to right-handed. It took me a while to adjust and I had a lot of frustrating moments wondering why I was bothering, but eventually I got there to the point that changing back to left-handed then felt alien. It can definitely be done, you just need to manage your expectations and understand that you'll hit plateaus in your progress and not to get deflated by that. Good luck with it!

I'm new to darts (got a dart board last weekend) You need a break and playing left handed is kind of having a break, but also not having a break. 6 months down the line you might take a punt at right again and it be brand new and fresh. This is the 2nd video I've seen of yours, the first being a one for improving your game with doubles games from 2 years ago and you were nailing it. Good luck with the left handed journey, you already look decent with it 👍

I'm sorry to hear that you're having so much trouble with your game. But for me personally it's good to hear that there are dart players fighting the same battle. My story is pretty similar in that I averaged in the high 60's to mid 70's. Somehow I completely screwed up my throw, averaging about 50 for the last year. Now I am working so hard on the technical side of my throw and finaly making small progress in my game again.

hi jack, ive been a subscriber for perhaps 2 or 3 years and love your channel. ive been playing darts since i was 12 yrs old, obviously with a few gaps over the years. in my 30's i got serious into darts and attained county level in ireland. at my best i was probably 75-80 ave hitting 7-10 180s on a daily basis. ive never had a 9 or a 10 darter and only ever managed 1 ever in my life 11 darter, ( 140,140, 140, 81 out) ive had perhaps 7 or 8 12s, and countless 13 plus games. i promoted professionals in ireland and organised /mc'd exhibitions with pros in the 90s. i dont play much anymore im 60 yrs old but i have had struggles getting back to form after dartitis and long layoffs. ive found the way back.... it works for me and perhaps it will work for you (left or right handed) its so simple it beggers belief but for me it works. i dont really know if it will work for you or anyone else but im happy to share it with you and for you to share with your followers. funny thing is before you started banging on about changing to a lefty i never really thought much about it, then i thought to myself hang on try this first. so heres the thing, ill be tuning into the stream next wednesday eve as i often do so ill msg you my ( very simple) technique, and im hoping it works for you. give it a go. all the best from Ireland jack, love the channel regards Tim

For reasons I won't get into now, I had to give up playing darts Right Handed almost 4 years ago to the day. Started throwing again a couple years later, this time Lefty. I think I'm about as good as before, skill wise, but mentally I'm 100% better. Why? Because now I play without any pressure or expectation. Also, my practice is much more focused. Stay with it, but don't expect quick, lasting improvement. Takes time but you can do it!

Glad I ran into you here. I have a left eye dominance and right handed throw. My left eye is damaged, but actually sees better than my right eye. lol! I'm not blind, but throwing right handed has been an issue, trying to adjust for my "good eye." Last night I started screwing around playing left, and frankly, it wasn't that bad. However, NO double vision as I aimed. I think I'm going to try it... but my league starts in three weeks!

I'm actually considering this even though I'm stiff right handed. I've overcome dartitis but my throw has become so forced that I never feel like I am in control of the dart anymore. It feels like my throw is just "broken" in a way. I like your left handed throw - it's a bit like a fast Mickey Mansell.

I know how you feel, have played on and off over 16 years, gone months without playing darts and picked them up and thrown great, in those moments I decide to start playing more again and then quickly will find flaws with my throw that I can’t seem to correct. I’ve recently tried to throw as simply and effectively as I can, whilst keeping that mental pressure at low levels, but it’s no easy task.

Use a cheat code and throw 6 - 9 darts at a time at different targets in groups of 3 or just follow, follow, follow. Less walking and you can really work on muscle memory. At least a couple times a week I do this. Just letting my arm go at a number over and over again. Walking it in on the first dart or two and then just following as long as i can. We train this way in every sport, just not darts for some reason.

Great video maybe you could investigate which barrel shape fits your left hand better, then figure out which weight your left hand works with, then you can determine flight shape, shaft length(I am still working on not laughing at this), finish it off with tip or point length. You might be surprised as to what dart your left hand loves. And maybe the dart referee 4, maybe the end result. I also believe a lot of people will benefit from your lessons learned, in each area. Good luck on the process we are all rooting for you 🎉

This is definitely worth a go and I'm interested in your progress. This is because I've been doing the exact same thing. This is because of suffering with tennis elbow in my left elbow and my averages before were in the 75-80 but now it's below 60, which is so frustrating my elbow wants to bring my arm back when I throw in a different position. I did manage to get a bit consistent with my right hand and managed a 180 out of nowhere. I threw with my left hand then the next throw with my right hand and the repeat. I found that worked. Hope throwing left handed works for you.

Good luck mate! I feel like your left handed throw has a lot of potential. I've always been cross-dominant, so I would write right handed but everything else left handed (even writing on an iPad or something). Got dartitis years ago so I had to switch to throwing darts right handed, and although I am decent right now, my biggest problem was maintaining a steady throw. I played comps with at least 15 totally different styles lol. But it's definitely doable.

I’m sure everyone wants to help. I’m no different. Tip. The eye thing. Pick up your chin helps use the lower part of your eye and raises your hand position up. Secondly when you release your dart don’t drop your hand. Stop it as close to pointing at your target as you can. Shorter the stroke the more consistent it will be. Ash does what you do but the difference is your movement is very different shot to shot. Ash’s stroke is the same over and over. Ps you’ll be fine.

Switch to the 19s. You seem to be missing low a lot, if you continue to miss low on the 19, you're at least hitting the fat part of the pie. A shoulder injury can also prevent a person from being consistent at the top of the board. In your line of work, I wouldn't be surprised if you have a nagging old injury that you may not even notice in your day to day life, but your body is compensating for it somehow while you're on the oche. One person's throw you could try to emulate is RVB, calm cool collected, not trying to throw it through the board...

If I remember correctly, Luke Littler just said he hadn’t thrown a dart since the Worlds, until half an hour or so before Bahrain. Might be worth a shot!? When was the last time you took a break from darts? And about how long was it? Good luck mate!

You did a great job of describing everything that's been happening with your game. It feels like I'm going the same path sometimes because I try too many things and mess my throw up.... I might throw 3 legs off hand per practice and see what happens. If the tip limit was 1, mine would be- Always look exactly where you want it to land, when your eyes are locked in, it can block out everything. Even your own brain thats trying to sabotage your pending victory😂 Good luck

Left handed darts could be a way to have fun again, and learn darts over again and potentially get as dominant at darts with your left as you were with your right. Its gonna be good to watch! Shame you cant play with your right hand but i might say, maybe change your darts, try heavier/lighter darts and different shaped barrels to see if you can maybe get a new throw with a different set of darts and use your dominant hand again? that could work maybe. we all have different throws, you got used to one throw and a set of darts you could easily get a new throw with a whole different set of darts i think.

First thing - you have bad posture when throwing with left hand. Second thing - when you throw with you right hand, you release dart very late and also your throw is weird. When you make a pull, your elbow goes down and when you push, it goes up then. When you do this and you add late release, you are unable to aim the dart. Keep it simple and steady, don't move your elbow and learn to release dart sooner. It will become better in a few weeks.

Guess that the most important thing will be to don’t make any goals, only enjoying the game. Because you got the knowledge, it might be frustated sometimes. Just enjoy the game

I’ve been playing on and off for about 2 years and more recently and I can hit the treble 20 decently but I have a stray dart every 2-4 darts that’s just nowhere near or the wall, I have good accuracy but not consisteny, anyone know what that’s down to?

Hi Jack you dip your right elbow when you are throwing right handed

It's not right or left brain as much as it is right eye or left eye dominant. Actually, I just put 3 in the triple eighteen today left handed. Narcissism aside, I am a master optician so I do have some credibility. And, you don't know what your dominant eye is unless you do a test. Point your finger at the triple 20 with both eyes open. Close one eye. If the treble doesn't move, your open eye is dominant. If it jumps, it's not dominant. By the way, Phil Taylor is right handed and left eye dominant, not to mention Bobby George. Also, I only hit 5 180's, a14 and a 16 darter in my practice session today with my normal right hand. Throwing left handed can loosen me up a bit as it is just for fun with no expectations. Also, I am considering writing an article on this very subject for jobs on medical, as I write optical articles for them. Have a great day and get your180's!

The left handed thrown darts seem to be landing flatter. Like the Taylor under stacker.

I’ve switched to left handed since March 2023 - all down to Dartitis.

I have the same issue with being right handed and my left eye being dominant and my right eye is rubbish. I find if I throw with my right eye closed I throw better darts.

I have played darts for 15 years or so and I never seem to get any better or more consistent. I am right handed and I throw right handed, but I play pool left handed... I think I might try your left handed challenge for a month and see how it goes.. it has never occurred to me to throw left handed! Lol, who knows? I might wake up tomorrow and throw like a pro :D

It will take the same amount of time as it took right handed for it to be completely natural if ever, a month is simply a bit too ambitious for huge progress to be made but just chill over that month and avoid pushing too hard.

I was gonna do left handed I done it for a week and I thought I can’t do this anymore because I love playing and was missing playing local league and stuff 😂 at least I know if all else fails I can go back to left. I felt like you mate where whatever mistake your trying to fix right handed it’s not working and it makes you play worse and a very shit feeling…. Hope you can overcome it even if it is left. At least I know if I ever had a problem with my right I got a decent action left to change to. I will be following to see your progress. I went back to right as I think it’s best but would love to see your results. Keep it going 🎯

Jack speak to and maybe get a lesson from Straight to The Point Darts KZbinr Daniel Poole. Daniel suffered dartitis and changed to his opposite hand and can now throw at a pretty high level. Goodluck 1️⃣8️⃣0️⃣🎯

I've played darts off and on since I was 13 I'm 38 now, played superleague for 5 years was ok highest average of just under 28 per dart but normally around the 25 mark, I have always been terrible in practice really struggle but soon as I have around 6 pints they go straight but I had to put the practice in for them to go well after a drink, i don't play for any local sides or nothing now just playing the house after a drink 😂

The bottom line is you need to switch off and let the darts flow, easier said than done. 3-4 pints is the answer.

It’s a confidence thing with you mate ngl, you’re trying to pick out little flaws in your throw and being too negative. Just back yourself more and you’ll find yourself enjoying throwing, and throwing much better darts when you’re not thinking about it too much. Free flowing mate, rhythm.
