    I totally agree on the leading leg knee, i used to put too much weight on it, and it aggravated an old football injury! go steady on ya knee!

    I am new at this and found your videos to be the most helpful. Could you possibly add a video showing exactly how to stand and throw being that I'm right handed yet left eye dominant.

    • @taff6987
      @taff6987 9 місяців тому

      Not possible to implement a proper dart stance if your right handed left eye dominant.
      I'm the same as you!
      Broke my right arm years ago and had to learn to play with my left hand. Felt weird at first but surprisingly I got used to it pretty fast. Threw a 137 out with my left which I thaught was quite impressive given that I'm right handed. I'm sure it helped being left eye dominant.
      I would just follow the advice in the video and not worry so much about your dominant eye! It's been years for me since playing in a league but I used to hit 180's pretty regularly. 140's and tonnes everytime I played.
      Practice and consistency is key. Being comfortable in your stance is also very important. Everything you do should be repeatable (the same) each throw. Tye more robotic you are with your movements and micromovements the better you will get.
      Enjoy 🎯

    Interesting and would love to hear feedback on this? Specifically position of weight would refer to the relationship between your sternum and right leg? If you stood on your right leg only and were balanced then weight would be considered neutral. However the sternum could be either forward or backwards ? From all your experiences how does this effect height of dart? If dart always finishes high is weight too forward or backward?

    • @nathanb1886
      @nathanb1886 3 роки тому +1

      For right hander, if the board is 12 o clock, you want the center of your chest pointing at 10:30 or 45 degrees off center. 9 oclock would be 90 degrees or directly left

    Andrew Guilding has the worst preparation. Jamie Harvey had a weird stance , almost looked like there was no foot forward at all

  • @BoJangles3105
    @BoJangles3105 Рік тому

    This stance is basically accepted all over. Whether toe or outstep is adjacent to the oche. However there is the two foot forward to the oche stance made famous by Tommy Barret who won the News of the World in consecutive years is seldom seen today.
    Also for people with Dartitis the opposite leading foot can be used to eleviate the Dartitis problem. Sadly it will return when you take up the normal stance. I call it the golf shot (i.e. opposite positioned hands on the putter"Yips").
    Yes I know the remedy to Dartitis.
    Known it for twenty years.
    Sadly you all think these pro players are good.
    I don't!
    Don't play the player or the dartboard.
    Kill the dartboard.

      I disagree, the grip and stance videos make it perfectly clear not to hamper your own style. and, the only things he was dead set on were: not hurting yourself, not putting too much stress on the dart, and not moving your elbow/stance, which are objectively good tips imo
