New sound equipment made a big difference. Keep working on it Dan boy.

Great analysis as always. I've been guilty of trying to overcomplicate things bust since I've stripped my throw down I've improved steadily.

I think he has the smoothest and most each dart specific throw. Meaning, he doesn’t rely on rhythm at all. I think that’s why he’s been insanely consistent.

Players who rely on rhythm are very vulnerable to things that influence said rhythm. Just look at how poor the B-game of rhythm players like Michael Smith can be at worst. Once it's gone, it's really gone.

You have what other dart channels don't and that's the ability to analyse throws and have a real insight to throwing techniques. This channel will be the biggest at some point stick at it great content

Brilliant to see you doing so well buddy only feels like yesterday you started, well done bud

Good analysis. Despite it looking so simple, he put a lot of work into finding and perfecting HIS throw. When he was young, he used to copy Eric Bristow's style. From there he changed just about everything. His stance, the position of his middle finger, spreading out the ring finger and pinky, the head movement while pulling the dart back, the follow through, relying on rhythm, and most noticeable, the (lack of) tension in his hand and movement in his hand while he pulls the dart back. He is one of the best, when it comes to stepping to the side to find another corridor and keeping locked on the target. Absolute legend.

Really good analysis, been looking for something like this for ages as i love analysing other players throws, thanks for posting

It has arrived! Great analysis 👏🏻

Absolutely my fav dart player of all time. I throw very similar to him. I work on popping my elbow up as I release. It just works for me. Very similar grip as well. Three fingers instead of four. Again, works for me. Thnx for the video!🤘🏼

This is the best darts channel on youtube by far. Great content mate!

Great video and straight to the point !!!!

Thanks for the video and explaining of his way of throwing darts..👍👍

interesting tip and graphic re: straight at forward leg and then leaning at the hip. Always thought it was better to have a straight line from leg to chest but does feel like it could be more stable

Great video brother. As always 👌 keep going mate love to watch your content.

When he hits a 180 it’s the most satisfying thing ever

Very glad he lessened the head turn he used to have

Really great analysis. Wright has such a simple throw, he’s really achieved being very minimalistic in all of his movements. For all the people out there who feel pausing between throws is a negative, look no further than Wright. Sure, everyone is different and has to do what’s best for them, but this would work for most amateurs if they tried it long enough.

nice video.. great job

Fantastic analysis Daniel. I’ve been holding the dart like this for a couple of weeks. Originally my fingers were more forward and the middle finger on the point. I was finding when I pushed the dart away I struggled to release the dart correctly. Always a work in progress and this video will definitely help. His upper body position is fantastic also considering his foot is flat against the oche. Great video 👍🏻🎯

Peter was an is a fantastic player and a great guy too. I hope he soon overcomes his high and low form curve and come back to his former stable strength. 🎯🙂

He is so smooth and consistent I though you reversed the footage when he picked his last dart at 1:02

We play 301 double to start, after six darts I left myself unintentionally ended up with 170 and took it out , a 9 darter on 301 double to start, my claim to fame at my local 😤

Was watching this and I had a dart, so I was holding it, going thru the motions and the dart slipped out and hit a window and broke it. Twit. 😆🤣😀😂😄😅😁 I'm posting this for laughs.

Love it , thank you . So much better to understand with your comments . What’s your thoughts if not having the forearm upright .Especially like Searle ?

@Straightdarts

2 жыл бұрын

It's always important to have the elbow at least slightly tucked in and if your learning or trying to improve keeping the arm up right and as straight as possible like MGV is so much easier. You can play with with a slight tilt on the forearm if your still pushing the dart down the line you aiming at but if you pull it low or realese to earley your more likely to go in the 5 or 1 that if its straight and in line with the T20. Stay in the center and keep the arm up straight then work from there. 😀

I agree. His grip with three fingers on the barrel and point besides the thumb seemed to resemble Eric Bristow's. Nice to see how it evolved over time into something simpler.

Daniel i've seen you mention footwear. do you have a pair of shoes just for darts? i just wear my tennis shoes that are comfy

@Straightdarts

Жыл бұрын

Yes, I learnt that off listening to Taylor, Wright, and Bobby George. It's very helpful to always wear the same shose. It keeps the height and comfort and also always you to remember what part of you shoe toes the oche. I use the shose in this link and have done for years. They may be ugly, but they work, and I can stand for hours in them.

I‘ve started playing darts 2 months ago and its been going pretty well (already 2 180s). However, almost every time I start playing, I feel like a different throwing style would work better for me and therefore I am not very consistent. Is it normal that I havent found my personal throwing style yet?

@Straightdarts

Definitely, it can take a good 2yrs to fully develop the throw that's right for you and every now and then it will still need to be changed. Look at how many times Phil Tylor changed his throw, even after 25yrs as a pro he was still experimenting. 😀

Try and tuck the elbow in as you pick the dart up a bit more and make sure your standing side on enough. It's probably your alignment to the dartboard.

Is his throw slightly different than the rest of the player he doesn't flick his wrist more like taylors know what I mean ?

@Straightdarts

Жыл бұрын

The wrist is still used. Both him and taylor do have some similarities. If you look at how much the point goes upward on the draw back, it's very noticeable. This causes the wrist to lock on the draw back for them to snap though at the point of release. Wrist sometimes opts to throw flat like taylor but some times he dose add some flick when useing longer darts. This allows him to make the dart land in different ways and helps massively when using different equipment. :)

@@paullennon8586 no, it's only players who put a ginger on the point. The finger then either grips the point and lifts it or is placed just under the point and flicked up. It's a very different technique to get right but some players do it well. It's the only technique I cant copy. I always hold the darts at the back and have a slight push down on the rear of the barrel on release like Lewis or Beaton. This had the same effect but I find it much easier. :)
