How is it that you post videos of my current major issue that I've been thinking g about all week? From eye dominance to stance/ elbow height...now GRIP! Thank you!
Well done. Mervyn King is probably the best example of this method. He's got such a smooth rhythm and has been at the top for nearly three decades now.
Thanks for the video. As a relatively new player, I'm grateful for all the UA-camrs out there. I find the trial and error associated with perfecting "my throw" enjoyable.
I've tried that grip so many times, each time I just drop the dart or it flies off to wherever I dont want it to. I'll give it a go, again, tomorrow, well explained and demonstrated mate, thank you.
As a new player (2 months in), I'm struggling and experimenting with consistency. I found your video and gave it a shot. Now, instead of just keeping my fingers fully locked in the dart, I cock the dart ever so slightly before the release, essentially keeping the dart in line with the target. Sometimes my darts will twist and enter the board at an odd angle, or sometimes they release pointing up to make a parabolic curve and entering the board at a higher angle than I'd like. But when it works and the feeling is spot on, it feels really good. I guess I have more practice cut out for me. Love your videos, you're such a good teacher.
Love your fantastic content,please keep it up. Personally I don’t turn the dart at all when pulling it back or even when thrusting it forward. Is that ok ?
Hello, I watch your youtube videos with interest. my question would be about dart selection. Many companies have a lot of arrows.. I am thinking of making a dart field for myself at work. to spend my free time and improve myself. How should the primary dart selection be? Should I choose a straight long dart or a short bullet-shaped arrow? What should the weight be? Would you have a chance to mention a few inexpensive models that you can recommend?
Hi, :) Between 24g and 22g is a nice weight in the middle that'd most players can use. According to Red Dragon, 22g is the most popular. It's normaly better to start with a straight barrel around 6.5mm wide and 48mm to 50mm long. Having a shorter dart can be helpful if you struggle with the grip but a 23g double ring grip or wide Bristow style grip is somthing most players can work with. :)
I like your videos and appreciate what u show us.I have a problem with my grip last 2 weeks cause my fingers are dry and I have no control with darts.It just slips and ofc disturbes me.Do u have some advice?Thanks
I always lick my fingers and sometimes use condensation off my cold drink as well. Get the fingers wet and then slightly blow them warm, you'll see alot of players like whitlock, lowe, greaves and price do the same thing. You can also use wax, chalk, or mighty grip but I dont like the feeling personally.
I put my third finger under the point and iv'e tried to change grip but it feels so alien to me,i was just wondering if this is hampering me in any way as in flicking the wrist as i'm only short at 5'5 and i have to raise my elbow a bit higher to keep them straight,plus ive only been playing for around 3 months but my average's have gone up from 41 to 51 but its seem's to have plateaued at around 50-51 Great channel very informative Regard's Neil
Make sure you grip the dart with equal pressure each side, your probably push the dart off. And always keep the elbow still. Aim over the dart, lift the wrist rather than the elbow. :)
What would you suggest if you have tried and tested various different styles but end up not knowing which style to use? I have found over the years I have tried all sorts but now I'm undecided which style to use.
No, I aways go through with the point facing up. This was example of what some players like to do, it's not important to do it but it's always good to try as you never know what will suite you. Most players will make to point face upward after release causing the darts to stand upright in the dartboard.
Yeah, that's a good option. Maybe sowing slightly straighter and 90% tungsten. Have a look at darts clearance on ebay or deigna darts on darts cornor. 😀
@@Straightdarts Can you suggest me a few brands and models that aren't expensive? actually i like a few models but these are mostly flat. Bull's Suljovic BE Dart 23gr, Bull's BULL´S Mamba97 M5, Harrows Pulse and Harrows Wolfram 97%.. or maybe a few models you can recommend
@noweanji I'd ways try and experiment with darts even cheaper that that. Have a look at these and click on the seller to see his other darts. He sells loads of 90% to 95% tungsten darts for £15 to £25.

Another great video 🎯💪🎯👍
Just really started to play darts 2 yrs ago, and I really enjoyed your videos very much, my game getting better thanks to your videos couching.

Really love your videos. Appreciate the easy-to-folow breakdowns of your approach. Keep up the good work!

Play at least 3 years. You can start talk about consistency then
This is very helpful. 🎯 Thank you
I didn't know this was a thing, but thank you - extremely helpful. My grip needed some wrist, and this did the trick! Hit a 177 immidiatly :p
Excellent video again 👍🏻🎯
Thanks for the tip

Yeah it's fine, if alot players don't do it. 😀 as long as your grip is comfortable and feels consistent your good. 😀

@@Straightdarts thank's for youre advice,it is appreciated,i will practice this and let you know after a few day's.
Take care pal

What would you suggest if you have tried and tested various different styles but end up not knowing which style to use? I have found over the years I have tried all sorts but now I'm undecided which style to use.
The simplest styles are the most consistent, alway go back to basic when in doubt 😀 pencil grip suits most players. 😀
I think this pull back really is the secret just got to find the best way of rolling it back up before release ?
You can either spin the dart as you go though on the throw or just keep it normal with a little push off the fingers. :)
@@Straightdarts what about using the finger underneath to bring it back up ?
You cooking your wrist over on follow through?dart pointing down
No, I aways go through with the point facing up. This was example of what some players like to do, it's not important to do it but it's always good to try as you never know what will suite you. Most players will make to point face upward after release causing the darts to stand upright in the dartboard.
How important is it to make contact with the point while gripping?
It's not important at all. Loads of players don't do it. :)
@@Straightdarts OK great. Thanks for the reply
@@Straightdarts also, how much is it for me to send you videos of my throw and for you to analyse Improvements?
@Logan Davenport Gaming, Drop me an email Straighttothepointdarts@gmail.com. :)
Do you put any of your fingers on the point of the dart?
No, I'm actually a rear gripper. Just my thumb and first finger at the back and middle finger on the middle of the barrel, very soft. :)
@@Straightdarts thank you ever so much. Love your channel, greetings from Croatia
Is that Eric bristows darts?
It's a copy. Very similar to the Target Lewis G4.
