Thank you so much. I’ve been into darts for 2 years and have still struggled finding my perfect dart. This will help a lot. By the way, I have a straight hand, long barrel and shaft, I grip the back of the dart and I have a heavy dart with a loose grip
hey, i was just wondering about something. so ive been playing for about 5 months now, yet i still cant really get anything together. im uncomfortable in all 3 aspects (stance, throw, grip), is this normal? i dont know if im just a slow learner or something but its very frustrating🤣 im still hitting 9s and 6s when going for 20 sometimes
Everyone is different but you could be in your head to much, over thinking every aspect instead of just throwing the dart. Ive done the same thing before. Try thinking less about the 3 things you mentioned and just focus on visualizing your dart on a rope from your hand to the target. Try to just do what feels natural with the other stuff. Of course this is just my opinion from my experience. As with anything practice and repetition are key. Hope this helps...
seems like you have a very inconsistent release - perhaps try a scalloped dart (e.g winmau whitlocks silver) to make sure you grip it in the same area (ideally at the darts' centre of gravity) for all your throws. Had the same issue, I still hit a lot of 26s, but at least managed to get rid of the "darts flying left right and centre" problem :) Finding the right barrell shape is more important than finding the perfect weight IMO.
Hey! It’s totally normal to feel a bit all over the place when you’re starting out. Darts can be tricky to master, and finding your groove with stance, throw, and grip takes time. It’s like trying to juggle for the first time-sometimes you just need a bit of practice and patience to get everything clicking. Hitting 9s and 6s when aiming for 20 shows you’ve got potential; it’s just a matter of fine-tuning your technique. Keep practicing, stay positive, and don’t be too hard on yourself. Everyone goes through a phase of trial and error when learning a new skill. Before you know it, those frustrations will turn into consistent hits. Keep at it and enjoy the journey! 🎯
Touch memory is important here. What I mean by that is the following . . . I throw using the 3 finger grip (thumb, index and middle). I use a scalloped dart and rest the scallop on my thumb just using the 2 fingers for accuracy When I go into the 5, I have the feeling on my middle finger as the last touch memory so I know I need to release the middle finger from the dart at the same time or the middle finger will push the dart left (if you are right handed of course). Same goes for the thumb pushing the dart right. If you have ever played football and hit a sweet volley, the feeling on the top of your foot is a 'touch memory' and I find correcting errors easier once you know what is causing you to push your darts left or right. Try different chucks. Like Bunting throws at an angle from the side of his neck/ear area, where other players throw from under their chin. If you choose the latter, hold the dart in front of you and align the dart between your eyes and the target number Some players throw from memory (Michael Smith) and some aim (Chizzy). Find what suits you best and stick with it. Ive had the same darts for 40 years but looking at having a change soon because when Im off it, Im off it! I just threw my sons darts for the fist time in absolutely ages, a shorter and straight barrel and hit a 140 first 3!
Sounds like you’ve got your setup dialed in! 🎯 28 grams with a crisscross grip and shortened stems is a solid choice-comfort is everything when it comes to darts.
Sounds like you're making great progress in just four months! An average of 40-45 is impressive. If the 24g darts are working well for you and your darts are sticking to the board, it might be a good fit for now. Sometimes, it's more about how comfortable you feel with your equipment than the specific weight. Keep practicing and see how your game evolves-if you ever feel like experimenting with different weights or styles, you'll find what suits you best. Keep up the good work! 🎯👍
@@DartsDecoded my av is 45-50 basic rn somtimes it spikes above 60 . I have the littler gen 1 24g with 41mm points. I have trown 9 180s so far and i feel like thats it. For me. In december i wil go to my first darts tournement. And i wil see from there

Stephen Bunting 18gram
everyone has their comfortable weight mine is 28 grams full steel with crisscross grip shortened stems.

Length off barrel is as important as weight
I think your bang on on this, barrel length is so over looked as it is directly related to the balance point of the dart for every individuals throw
I play with 26
I really love playing Dart, But I don't have one HAHA
I use 24 not sure if its made for me. But the darts go in the board fine. Im darting for 4 months. I have an av of 40-45

TLDR: Suprisingly dart wright is a personal preference
Stopped listening after the shoe analogy!
I got to 2 minutes and had to stop watching because of the egregiously annoying mouse click.
