    The late great Kyle Anderson threw his darts at an odd angle where the tip would be pointing towards the left of the dart board. Best footage I've seen of it is his legendary 9 dart finish against MVG. Unorthodox but effective. RIP you massive legend

    I'm left handed and right eye dominant so I'm guessing that what Bobby George was doing, lining the dart up with his dominant eye. I have also tried this and have no idea how he can throw like that, it's so uncomfortable lol. Good vid!

      Not only does Bobby George throw from his left eye being the dominant eye and right handed. But so does Gary Anderson and Phil Taylor. But they both throw from the middle of their face or right eye. As for Christian kyst and mensur both had dartitis and that is how they got over it. It is not that anyone had a weird throw but it is whatever works for them

      The thing with Bobby George is he used to dart himself because of the angle he threw them. The first dart used to cover the the T20 if he hit it. Like this dude said, I am surprised he did so well...but hey, whatever works right.

    One explanation for Bobby George’s throw is he’s right hand dominant with left eye dominant ! There are players who have opposite hand and eye dominance

    You gotta try and find the guy that I saw once in BDO lakeside,
    Every dart that left his hand was set up by a side way eye glance/twitch
    Weirdest thing I’ve ever seen, throw was ok I remember but as the dart was lined/aimed ready for release a split second before it left hand his eye balls veered right and back and then it was gone… crazy

      @@GeniusDarts it's how he learned to write. So it came naturally to him because it was the most comfortable way for him to hold the dart. I tried it myself and struggled to hit the board at all, so I find it a great feat.

    My favorite is Tony Dawkins - as Straight to the Point Darts said: He must have picked up darts on Opposite Day, because he just does everything the textbook says you shouldn't: Not only that weird hop, but also no follow-through, moving the upper body, snatching the dart, etc., - it's amazing that he is able to hit anything at all. But this isn't even the weirdest darts player from Gibraltar - there is a guy named George Fredrico whose throw is even funnier as he snatches the dart in a very funny way with zero follow-through.

    When i was a kid in 1980s we used to go play darts on sunday in local pub, and there was someone there who threw darts in the weirdest way i have ever seen.
    Sort of like your no1, but weirder.
    But it worked for him, as a pub player.
    Some people throw darts in the weirdest ways, but like we know, what ever works for them. Obviously no real technical quality really, just a very personal way to throw a dart.

    I used to play darts a lot and my mates would come to my place and we would play for hours. One of my mates realised I did something when I threw my darts. He put me off with one word; That would was"breathe". He had noticed I held my breath as I threw. It was just larking about. He had a really weird. He would have the dart down level with his belt, he aimed at this point, then lifted the dart up to face level and threw his dart. I got my biggest finish playing against him. It was 164. My biggest in a league game was 126, it was the highest in the league that season but I had share that with another guy who had the same finish.
