Consistency is key,i get 26 all the time😂😂😂😂😂
But are you arm throws right line so yes then is the problem
With in your throw hands 🫣
@@begriprespect3316 whatever you replied makes no sense whatsoever 🙄
Why you throwing then 26 all the time ??? Do you know that self so yeah why you throwing all the time 26 ?
@@begriprespect3316 IT WAS A JOKE ,29 PEOPLE UNDERSTOOD IT,CLEARLY YOU DID NOT 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
You too eh?? Lmao
Nice video, it helped a lot! Tho I feel nervous with you having the TV just bellow the bullseye. If that was my room I would no longer have a TV
If I ever hit the tv then I have bigger issues to address LOL
It just means you can trust what he says 😂
If you hit the tv you should put down the darts and never play again 😂😂
If you're good the t.v doesn't matter
@@IronmanDarts oh come on the darts had to have hit the tv before. Not saying you’re missing the entire board, the darts bounce off the board sometimes especially when they strike the metal. Hell, my darts bounce off at least once every single time I play!
This video literally changed my throwing game!! 1000% improvement!! You are a LEGEND! ❤️
Attitude really is everything. I remember when friends and I were playing in the bar and one would open up Cricket with White horse 20, 18, 19. After the obligatory knuckles I stepped up, took a breath, found my center, and said, "Here we go." Got a White horse 20, 18, 19. It was the first time I had ever done that and I was soooo stoked for the rest of game.
We were then both at zero points and had exact same marks remaining to hit, and no way to point on those three. Basically I made it a 15 to 17 and bulls game. 😅
So just because your opponent opened with a white horse doesn't necessarily mean he has an insurmountable lead. Relax, it's now your turn to zero out all his hard work. 😎
Well said.
Great video. I'm 51 and just taken up darts 8 months ago. I've now joined a team and had my first match last Tuesday. It was double start double finish 301 best of 3. I lost but it was a great experience. We also had 2 doubles matches which again we lost but was good fun. We had a pint and some sandwiches and a laugh. I've just subscribed and look forward to learning with you
Welcome, Pete!
How's it going a year later Pete?
How you doing now? I played with double in double out 301 with some 50 year old guys who've been playing darts their whole life, and I got waxed in like 17 of 18 games... but one game I had the opportunity to double bull out and I nailed it, and that felt really good. Hope you're still sticking with it =) The biggest thing is practice practice practice.
I started playing Darts 3 weeks ago to relieve stress and work on concentration. This video is by far the best video I have watched....by far...thank you..
Great to hear!
There isn't many dart coaches they have figured out a formula and a language that works reminds me of the videos I watched as a kid from a legendary baseball hitting coach.
Okay, so the dude was speaking French the whole time - somewhat easy to understand - but then he brings in a metaphor from CRICKET as if that's supposed to help matters, and suddenly he's speaking Greek!
I jest. Good video. I'd love to play sometime, but for now I just bet on those who do. The amount of psychology involved in this game is CRAZY.
I had this problem with my stance and just a small adjustment made all the difference! Thanks for the great tips.
Glad I could help.
Long winter's = less golf outdoors.
Darts is so similar in nature to golf. Regarding the consistency and mindset importance.
Great stuff brother. Ty.
Well said!
Brilliant video, I suffer from tension due to trying too hard. It's very difficult to change that mindset, so what you said about relaxing is absolutely spot on. Learned a lot about the technique of throwing from this video so thank you so much. 👏👌
Great video. Thank you for sharing even as an avid dart player for over a decade this video helped me reset my game and get rid of my dartitis.
It’s amazing the amount of work you put into these videos just to provide information to people like me. It is a lot of fun watching your progression, and sharing your knowledge. Know that what you do is very much appreciated and very entertaining. Thank you for all you do Dave! Have a very Merry Christmas!! PS. Tip #5 is on point and the most important part of any sport!! Very glad you shared and believe that!
PS. I would love to get your thoughts and your experience with getting into a dart league. What your league is like, what boards do they play on, what games they play, how you got involved, how often you play, etc…. Do you have to be at a particular skill level to get into a league or is it for all skill levels? I’m new to darts, and your videos have guided me so far, so I figured I would ask your thoughts as I would love to get into a league, but nervous about the mechanics of it. Thanks!
Thank you!!
I've talked about his off and on in previous videos... I played for maybe a year when I was 12 or 13 years old. I then started up again (not sure why; looking for a new hobby) in 2017 at home with a steel tip board. In December of 2017 I showed up at a Soft Tip Blind Draw event. I've been playing in the Titan Darts league ever since (check out their website). It's open to all skill levels. I play in a Doubles league once a week. Me and my partner play 19 games either in person or remotely at a local bar. We play 10 games of 701 and 9 games of Cricket. It's been a great learning experience for me both mentally and for the competition aspect of it. I've come a long way with my game. If you want any throwing advice, send me a video for analysis and I'll make a video for you and share it here on TH-cam.
@@IronmanDarts thank you so much for the information! I may take you up on that video review soon! Keep up the great videos!!
There are a lot of terrible tutorials out there and I've been critical of most of them. Not many people liked my comments on those videos.
You my friend are doing it right, kudos. Simple but effective darts tutorial.... love it!
Thank you for the comment. I appreciate it.
Awesome video! This seems so simple, I don’t know why I had to look up a video to learn most of this. Love the info, awesome energy. 👍👍
The mental part of playing is so so important. I'm so happy you covered that. Very well said. 🙌
Thank you.
You’ve been doing a great job with your videos. I’m enjoying your channel, keep up the great work.
Many thanks!!
Excellent job showing about the stance. The way you hop up and down shows how to find your stance better than any video I've ever seen and I seen ALOT 😆
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful video. Thank you
Great video! I need to work on being more stable and consistent with my throws. Average around a 2.6 in Cricket on my Granboard. Subscribed!
A great video thank you for that dart tip I hope that will improve my daets
I have just purchased a dart board
This really helped
Subscribed
Great pointers
Thnx for the good advice!
Darts is really difficult, especially mentally. It’s a hard game to master but I still love it 🎯
Great video!
Thanks!
Just came across your channel, getting back to playing hopefully soon:) Thanks so much for your incredible teachings!
Welcome back!
We call that “stacking” when you line up the body like that. In snowboarding it makes certain maneuvers much easier. Good video.
Thanks 👍
Watching this video made me realise that my elbow was going outside everytime I throw. Adjusting this made my darting so much better and only one hour after watching this video and adjusting I was able to throw my first 180 ever! Thank you for the advise!
Great to hear!
Hello Iron Man! I just want to make it a point to say thank you because I've been following your basic foundation techniques for throwing darts and there was a huge improvement. I plan on watching a lot more so I can get even better. With no exaggeration my game has improved so much just after watching a couple of your fundamental foundation Technic videos. Keep them coming!
Great to hear! My videos aren’t necessarily for elite players (which some people think). I’m on a journey just like you and if I can help speed up your development, then it’s all worth it. I’m glad you found value with my content.
Great video! Thanks for the information. Like golf lll sometimes forget to keep my shoulders and head all the way up. Slouching feels normal sometimes but that little change makes a huge difference.
So crazy to think that it takes around 10 seconds to complete three throws of Darts but there are so many things I can go wrong in that 10 seconds if you’re not focused.
Really well done. Insightful, philosophical and enlightened..what a game darts is.
Your singing to the choir 👍
Hey Dave ive been playing darts for a bit and built a bar in my garage around my dard board. Am ordering the granboard 3s in a few days and was just watching reviews and found your channel. Your doing a great job and hope to play a game of cricket with you someday. Im from Washington state.
Sounds like a plan!
I'm playing my first amateur tournament this saturday. This video was a perfect summary of what things I have to remember to succeed. Thank you very much sir!
Have a great experience!
Did you win?
@@scottpyle5136 I didn't win no, but I won my first two games so my practice seemed to pay off :)
@@The_Handy_Man congratulations 🙂🙂
Very clear and concise explanation and demonstration of the key elements of dart throwing. Very well done, thank you for your help!!
Glad it was helpful!
Great lesson
Most enlightening. Thank you for the great advice.
Glad it was helpful!
Very nice video. I have board from 1 week now.
This is what I needed to hear and assured me that I'm on the right way. Not everything is perfect, but you have to take it slow and use the possibilities. Getting mad or sloppy won't make it better. Be strong. Greetings from Bulgaria.
Thank you and welcome from Bulgaria!!!!
Best darts video & channel on TH-cam. Thank you for all the help sir!
Wow, thanks!
I'm new in this kind of sport, and Dart board will be my Christmas gift. Very helpful video, thank You!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video and instructions! I needed to hear these tips. Thanks Dave
Glad it was helpful!
i started playing in Feb 2023, and my best games is when I'm slightly stoned. it relaxes me lol
Man... Thanks for your videos! I just started dart's seriously 8 months ago. Your videos has really helped! Your a very good instructor. For someone that hasn't played long you are very knowledgeable!! I'm going to send My throwing videos later for analysis!
I’ll keep an eye out for it!
You're
Good advice on the stance! Thank you!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Nice straightforward tips. Very helpful. Having fun and getting better! Found maintaining velocity and follow through has helped immensely. Also found a heavier dart with metal shafts helped
Great to hear!
attitude i was having fun on a game earlier
had to get 20pts to end it. threw a miss, a triple 2 and a double 7 for the win
Man is the epitome of dart throwing
The thing that has really helped me recently is focusing on the dart as soon as i take it out of the off-hand, bringing it across up and back and then forward to the release. This has really helped me find a better rhythm.
Nice!
@@IronmanDarts As long as it keeps letting me beat my mum's GF it's good enough form :)
Super comprehensive and helpful, thank you for this video
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks so much
Brilliant video, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
one of the best videos i have seen on throwing darts..
Glad you think so! Thank you.
Love your videos !! You’re really good! And i hope to be as good one day! Have been binge watching your videos these days haha! You deserve so much more followers !
I appreciate it. I’m just doing what I can to spread the sport and document my process along the way. Any video suggestions?
good shit man i have a lot to think about
Nice tutorial! Big Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
instantly felt the diference, thank you very much, such a good video
Glad it helped!
Awesome tutorial
Not sure how to incorporate the stance you use but I’m here to learn
Thanks
No problem!
Thank you for the advice bro
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for an interesting and helpful video!
Glad it was helpful!
I tested your throwing advice, and it works! Thank you for it 😉👍
Great to hear!
@@IronmanDarts you welcome 😉👍
The 5th point was the most important part for me.
Your videos are so helpful. Thanks brother!!!!💪
How long have you been playing?
@@IronmanDarts kinda like you. Played a little bit in my early 20's and then didn't play for 15 yrs or so. Just started back hard core about 4 months ago. Play about 3 times a week now. Started as a 1.5 and now I'm a 2.2.
Great video and tips.. Been playing darts with my buddies for years and we are all pretty stagnant in our growth as far as getting better.. This will help
Absolutely! Thank you and best of luck 💪
Great video man!! Also you are brave to hang that flat screen there lol
Very!
Excellent video Dave, well done!! Very insightful. I've just made the Zimbabwe darts team to compete in the Regional Champs in Namibia next week. I lack consistency, I will hit 180, then 41!!! I will send you a video of my action, hopefully I can get to the next level. Really love the game, only been playing for 2.5 years (since covid lockdowns became a thing!!)
Fantastic! Have a great week at Regionals.
Fantastic video Dave, loving darts from the uk 🇬🇧
Thanks 👍
Great vid, thanks for the helpful tips!
You bet!
Awesome video. Put a team together for the first time this year. After a few hours of practicing with these tips my 01 game increased 3 ppd
Sweet! Keep it up.
Great video! Very helpful tips!
Glad it was helpful!
Recently got a dart 🎯 board and wow more fun than I thought thanks for your videos
Glad you like them!
Thanks a million Dave…great video 👍🙂
Of course!
Thanks mate the best video out of all of them I have learned a lot and I will try everything that you've showed on your video The best tip out of all of them being calm and relax and enjoy yourself Thanks mate
You got it!
shower show
@@IronmanDarts love it
I just started playing darts 🎯, your video was so helpful.. Thank you
Rock on!
Real help and good takeaway for how the real deal shoot! Honestly thought one think that sits real with me and took a couple years of leagues to realize and I've tried through the years to explain to not only myself but teammates is we all may get caught up in the pressure to hit that one shot but sometimes we swack the first two shots.. take a breath you have one more shot and that can be the make or break of the game... never throw the last out of spite cause almost always doesn't pan out
Awesome video, really Iove the attitude part
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks mate, super helpful viddy
Glad it helped
Great video....positive mind always
Yep!!!
Just got a dartboard and started throwing for the first time since college. In your video I see someone had an issue with constantly throwing to the left or right. I have been doing a lot of trapshooting in the time between college, and eye dominance is a big factor in trapshooting. I’m just thinking that maybe eye dominance might play a role in darts also. Look up some videos on eye dominance in trapshooting and maybe it correlates to darts.
Yes eye dominance and throwing off of that eye is probably imo the most important component of consistent darts. Watch Phil Taylor, arguably the best dart player to ever pick a dart up. He is right handed left eye dominant which is rare. He always throws off that left eye.
Have to say I've seen a lot of videos about how to throw. Been playing for over 20 years and this is one that I can really relate to. Everything is pretty much how I throw. It's natural and comfortable. And if anyone wants to know how to grip a dart, pick up your dart as if it's a pen. You have full control and stability with it. And another tip if you're playing double in double out, go for the side of the board for starting. If you're too high or too low you've got a very good chance of landing in a double. 14's especially.
Great to hear!
Great video. From your tips, I see what my problem is. I had given it up bc I was mostly hitting the wall, or they would not make it to the board. I also have an issue with aim. But after watching this video, I’m going to try to give it another shot and practice more on my own. Thanks for the great info!
You’re welcome
Have you ever tried wearing glasses 🤓 🤷🏻
Maybe darts just isn’t your game
I have the same problem. In all honesty, my wife threatened to leave me because the darts kept hitting our dog’s ass.
Great teaching. I am going to get a board. Thanks
Please do!
Nice one. Thanks!
Welcome
Great video 👍
Thanks 👍
Hello from the UK...Great video as per usual..just one thing .I have to respectfully disagree with were you say. with the flared elbow you can not be consistent..gary anderson's elbow flares right out and he's one of the most consistent players in the world..and one of the biggest 180 hitters out there. What we should be lining up is the bicep and the hand will follow...if you stand there in your throwing position with your elbow flared and throw a imaginary dart slowly at the end of your follow through your hand will be in line with your bicep..the only time we really need to worry about the elbow is if it drops...but other that another great video
Thank you for watching from the UK!
Very helpful.. thanks mate.
Anytime!
Thank you sir.
Most welcome
I grow from amateur to pdc with your advice. Tq sir..
Keep it up
Great advice
Thx
Nice vid. Fixing it is harder than it seems. Elbow goes out. Snatch sneaks in. Also darts tumble. Assuming a release issue. That's been with me forever. Thanks Dave
Keep at it JD... it'll come!
Try lowering your elbow very slightly...
Number 5 is the most important thing about darts, glad to see you point that out, practice makes perfect is the biggest lie of any sport, mind set is a must
Yes!!
Beat you last night 2 out 5 games!! Fun and excited beating the very guy you learned to throw from!
Congratulations
Thank you for the video..👍👍🎯
Welcome 👍
Awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video
Thanks for the visit!
Thank you so much
You’re welcome!
I like #5 Attitude 💯
A lot of these tips are the same kind of things I try to tell my teammates when they struggle, or if it's a new guy just starting out. I just wish there was a way I could articulate #5 to them in the moment when they absolutely don't want to hear it 🤣 maybe I should send them this link and call it a day, lol
Thanks for sharing!
nice tutorial ❤️
Thx
Cheers from Greece.
Welcome my friend!
when you have a tv just below dart board, yo don't need to argue further...
