I'm left handed right eye dominant only found out about this 5 weeks ago ... hard trying to re adjust your throw after years of throwing from my left eye
@@johnnydonaghy6096 I feel your pain as someone who is the opposite of you once I realized I was extremely left eye dominant and being right handed I tried throwing from my left eye as it often lines up with the target, even tried to replicate the throw of phil taylor with lining it up with my dominant eye and pulling it across and it doesnt nothing I try seems to help as throwing the dart across my body just feel extremely unnatural and uncomfortable
I’ve hit several 180’d and average now at 55-60 without aiming at all. It’s muscle memory more than anything else. I’m left eye dominant and right handed. If you are just starting out and are the same as me check out how Phil Taylor managed to aim being cross dominant.
I struggled a lot with the set up point, but in the end it all makes sense, if I don't follow through firmly to the target, I can aim and set up as hard as I can, it will be a mess. Thanks for the eye opener 🙏🙏
Nice video I’ve been adjusting and concentrating on the wrong area my first part of my throw is solid but kept trying to adjust it. After watching this I played my natural throw and concentrated on follow thru first 15 darts averaged 97 second 15 average 87 the video confirmed I was trying to fix an area that was not broken I tucked my elbow in slightly ensuring my arm was straight and ensured a straight follow thru so will now be practicing this as a pose to trying to change my natural throw. For me ensuring my elbow is aligned straight and not sticking out is an important part for that straight follow thru at least for me. Cheers 🍻 for the short simple but informative video 🎯
I aim with the bottom of my thumb points it everywhere i want to throw at and it works had a 9 darter two years ago and missed d12 few months ago too i play for Cheshire a County darts team
I wonder if anyone else sees double when they're looking at the dart in front of them? Is it just my eyes? If I bring up the dart to about 8 inches away from my eye (which is my set point), I see double darts. The right hand dart is solid, the left hand dart (about 1 inch away from the right hand dart is sort of see through. If I aim using the see through one, I usually hit what I'm aiming at (or within acceptable distance as I'm new to darts). It works for me, but I wonder if it's strange?
I've been playing 9 months. I also wondered about this. I asked my girlfriend what she's sees too, and she said similar to both you and me. She's no pro though obviously lol. I'm left handed and left dominant. I do know this with certainty. I've done tests. When I set the dart I see the board in focus completely, a solid opaque hand on the left, to the left of the target and slightly under, and I transparent ghost like hand over lapping with the solid hand but more to the right. I line up with the transparent hand. Lining up the tip on the index finger with the target. If when in the set position, I close my eyes one at a time. Closing right eye, the ghost hand becomes solid, and obviously the only one I see now, but crucially, is in line with the target. If I my left eye the my hand moves to the left a lot and it looks as though I'm lining up with the 12 segments. I know this doesn't really answer if it's right or not, but I feel this is probably how most people's eyes work. I do not wear glasses FYI.
Just to add some friendly advice also. I find pointing the tip of your elbow down the line you're aiming, and turn the wrist and forearm all the way out, to be a good way of aiming.
@@Lukeprovan it certainly sounds like what I experience but a mirror image of yours. I didn't think to close each eye to test things. I'm right handed and now I know I'm right eye dominant. When I close my left eye, the ghost hand becomes solid. Cheers mate!
I aim with my arm stretched my elbow high something i learned a long time ago with shooting a bow , and i can't get it out my system , to be honnest it feels comfortable and for a beginner darter i throw okay . Shall i keep doing it , or do i have to change it to evolve in darts ? Thank you
Picked up darts last week and have been wondering this, what a well timed video
I feel like right- and left-eye dominance would be an interesting addition to this video!
I also asked this question on one of Wayne's other videos. I'm left eye dominant and the target can become blurred when aiming.
Same. Makes it so much harder but then I remember Taylor was left eye dominant.
They never talk about this. I'm right handed and left eye dominant. Completely different stances.

Great video Wayne, I'd love to see a Masterclass on double hitting

Thank you Mab. Fantastic to watch and will stop focusing on the dart and concentrate on a straight follow through. Love the master classes. 👍🎯
Great advice Wayne, you don't hear it being explained like that. It makes more sense now 👍🏼🎯
Thank you for the great advice. Very helpful
Your darts H5O
All our thoughts and prayers W .my kids love you on darts commentary❤
Fascinating as this is something I'm struggling with. The darts aren't going where I want & I think I'm not following through straight.

thank you Wayne 🎯
Good information, Mr Mardel question for you should, should I aim at the flight of the dart when I throw darts two&three to try and get a deflection.
In the mentions it say Joe Cullen the American footballer, not Joe Cullan the darts player, but then it shows Joe Cullen's darts
The timing of the release and the follow through are imperative
More important than aiming
That was very confusing. Cheers mate
I lost my aim throw tense shoulder hurts
what can help cross eye dominance? I throw right but am left eye dominant. I struggle with going to the 1's so much.
Look online how people shooting guns aim lots more info about it or study how Phil Taylor managed
