The late great Kyle Anderson threw his darts at an odd angle where the tip would be pointing towards the left of the dart board. Best footage I've seen of it is his legendary 9 dart finish against MVG. Unorthodox but effective. RIP you massive legend
Yeah that’s true. Gone too soon.
Ceri or Kerry Morgan i remember he had a bizzarre technique
Fun fact, Tom Heldt, the number one is NO dartitis counter and he is hell of a player, constantly placing around top 16 in the dev tour order of merit and multiple time regional champion in germany
That’s amazing that it’s not dartitis related. How on earth does one settle on that throw otherwise? Incredible but clearly effective for him. Be good to see him make the big stages.
Still waiting for the fun fact 🤔🤔🤔
@@simmiesim321 He's got an extremely lame life, nothing fun about that
+@@GeniusDarts Could very well be an Eric Bristow fanboy
Absolutely despise his throwing motion. No need for it 😂
The commentary made it all the funnier.
I've only ever thrown a few hands of darts as a child in a pub (almost killed my aunt), and I want to try my hand at it again. Seeing these eccentric throws gives me license to experiment
What this proves is no matter how daft the throw, it can be effective. So go crazy.
Love the video, these videos always crop up from time to time and no matter how many times I watch some of these throws, I'm still in shock by how these people have become pro. Mr Burnett's has come from dartitis I think, if you look back over the years he didn't have that 'sass'. Keep up the good work bud. 👍🏼🎯
Agreed and the last one shows that more and more of them are popping up.
😂😂😂😂
Beat commentary ever. That’s what made the throws even more peculiar / funny ❤❤❤
'Dennis Smith, sweatin' up early' is a memorable piece of darts commentary that has stuck in my mind. Beautiful throw though.
Haha outstanding commentary.
I remember one commentator after he hit a good shot saying something along the lines of 'And Smith is not going to throw in the towel here. Mainly because he needs it so much' 🤣
I'm left handed and right eye dominant so I'm guessing that what Bobby George was doing, lining the dart up with his dominant eye. I have also tried this and have no idea how he can throw like that, it's so uncomfortable lol. Good vid!
Yeah I tried it and barely hit the board. Feels so unnatural.
Not only does Bobby George throw from his left eye being the dominant eye and right handed. But so does Gary Anderson and Phil Taylor. But they both throw from the middle of their face or right eye. As for Christian kyst and mensur both had dartitis and that is how they got over it. It is not that anyone had a weird throw but it is whatever works for them
@@GeniusDarts Try slanting or tilting your head , im the same and it worked for me.
The thing with Bobby George is he used to dart himself because of the angle he threw them. The first dart used to cover the the T20 if he hit it. Like this dude said, I am surprised he did so well...but hey, whatever works right.
Anyone know of any sighting techniques for opposite eye dominance? I kinda just line up to the side and adjust my head lol
You can see similar finger wiggles as Mensur, on several top level snooker players as well - many have a little finger wiggle on their rest hand. Rhythm and habit I guess.
Yeah these things come in over the years I think.
Ceri Morgan who used to wave the dart all over the place before letting go.
Good shout that.
Was like he was chucking a grenade
It's not necessarily about how you throw, but if you can consistently and accurately replicate that throw i.e. how good is your muscle memory.
Burnett doing an ice skating move on the oche.
😂
How you can have a list like this and NOT have Shayne Burges on it is beyond me. His throw is the definition of unorthodox, practically dragging the flight across his jaw and cheek owing to how close to his eye the darts get.
Going to try a few of these out tomorrow during my practice for a laugh, although the Bobby george one might come in handy as my sight is getting worse in my right eye.
Just throw left handed, doesn't take long to master with practice.
Dude your sense of humor made this video extea great hahahaha
Thanks Daniel!
Great video! I will never understand how people manage to hit anything with so much needless moves that induce hit area variance. Still, works for them! I guess that practice makes perfect. :D
Thanks! And agreed. If I try and mimic any of them I’m all over the board.
😂 "some kind of voodoo."
This is good, thanks.
I'm gonna try underhanded. See how that works.
That’s illegal in darts.
Phil Taylor also aims with his left eye. Better to aim with your dominant eye.
Can’t argue with his results
My favourite dart throwing action is Mervin king. I love his silky smooth action and the way he spins the dart as he pulls it back and then releases. The worst has to be number 3 in this video. If ya jockey ya might as well camp out for the night. My god.
1:45 is like my cats when they're about to catch each other 😂😂
👍😂
Please subscribe to my channel for more brilliant darts videos like this. It really helps support me to do more things like this. Thanks!
As a duffer darts player with bone frags in my elbow, I can identify with Stompe's "practice" throws.. I do it to make sure I can extend my arm without pain LOL.
I know a few people that also do this. Think it’s more common than people think
I have always thought Jelle Klaasen has a slightly unusual throw but he looked great the other day and hardly missed a double
That’s true. Looks very forced.
@@GeniusDarts But until recently had a PDC card forever and looks like he is on good form so clearly works for him.
Yeah, that triangle-shaped throwing pattern Jelle does is rather unusual and pretty unique, but it works and actually looks quite nice.
Legends say Terry is still aiming
😂
My grandad threw his darts with his hand down by his side, then, from there, underarmed at board. Not a bad player and didn't injure as many people as you'd imagine.
That’s not even legal in darts. But fair enough if it works down the pub.
First fellow that shot from the other side of his face is left eye dominant and right handed. Lots of folks into firearms have the same " problem ". Makes it difficult especially when using scopes
👍
Easily cured with riflescopes though. You either close the non dominant eye or wear a 'blinder'.
1:21 Dawkins is so funny. Every Throw with so much pain😂😂😂
I tought Dawkins is going to scream "WOOOO" at every throw
Colin Monks throw was a classic, what with the mouth and the leg kick. A bloke on our team had the leg kick too and we called him Kick-start! It was a great social distancing measure in its day too, you'd never want to be to close behind him on his throw!
I recall Bobby George (right handed) also saying once that his brother, who threw with his left hand threw with the exact same style on the other side of the face! Must be hereditary? Lol Stay lucky people ;-)
That’s unusual about Bobby’s brother. But must be hereditary.
No Eric Bristow? Also missed Ceri Morgan who I seem to recall had a rather individual throwing style
Yeah he did. He’s in part 2
the last one is quite beautiful, like a dance!
Yes and they still go in the treble 20. Amazing really.
I used to make make frog noises when Kist opened his mouth after throwing his dart. It drove my missus mad the year he won the BDO worlds.
Haha brilliant. Same for Colin monk?
@@GeniusDarts no Colin always looked too hard to take the piss out of😂
The funniest mouth-opnening is still that by McGowan though.
Kist's mouth movement has always reminded me of King hippo from the original punch out for the NES.
I can’t say I know what that is 🙈
I always assumed Korte's throw was a sight thing, to help him focus on the board with his throwing eye
Could be that in fairness. Just looks like it’s to keep a short transition and less movement when getting the next dart
That last one is mad. Could never throw like that.
It’s mad. But also effective.
that last one should be in the " most weird " category among all sports . Love it
me who has the dart throwing action of a normal pro... missing the board like a blind person as if the board was never even there 😂
I throw like Bobby George and actually get on alright. It's surprising how easy it is with a bit of practice. I don't average like a pro but I can get 180s etc with it. I also feel it's a great dartitis counter, as its never given me that hesitation like other throws have.
Fair play to you mate. Whatever works. Stick with it.
@thesmithsnerd he is also the proud owner of a brand new bag
I have a mate that throws like that too and he says its because he is right handed but left-eye dominant
@@GeniusDarts I wonder how these players ever found out that the uncanny way they throw works for them. They'd have to be a time where they transitioned into it but how?
Nice to see Mile High 'Paris' Hylton in the intro, such a steady player and a really nice guy
Nearly made the list!
Wonder what happened to him. he really was a promising player despite his weird throw and saw a lot of success around 2010-11, but then vanished almost completely.
@@torstenscholz6243 spent a lot of time with him at knock outs and practice leagues for a while. Still got him on Facebook I think.
I got the chance to see Petri Korte throw in his hometown of Lahti about a month ago. Still has the same style after all these years.
I lost it at ''Colin Monk enthousiast" great deadpan humor
😂😂😂
Ceri Morgan had one hell of a strange throwing action.
I used to play darts a lot and my mates would come to my place and we would play for hours. One of my mates realised I did something when I threw my darts. He put me off with one word; That would was"breathe". He had noticed I held my breath as I threw. It was just larking about. He had a really weird. He would have the dart down level with his belt, he aimed at this point, then lifted the dart up to face level and threw his dart. I got my biggest finish playing against him. It was 164. My biggest in a league game was 126, it was the highest in the league that season but I had share that with another guy who had the same finish.
Even my four year old daughter picked up on Mensur's finger wiggle once. He was on the telly and she said "that man goes der der der" while imitating the finger wiggle!
that sounds kinda funny actually
John Henderson has a special type of throwing the darts
Yes! Check out part 2 Martijn.
iI stand backwards and was challenged at Medalist World tournament in Vegas in 97 because my opponent said I was making fun of them by doing so. I wasn't that good, but that year I was hot and me and my partner finished 2nd in our division.
It's a bit of a reality check to see someone with Korte's throw getting further than myself in darts when I have a smooth throw but just can't get the consistency yet. Such a weird game is darts.
Korte has an action like Inspector Kemp from Young Frankenstein 😁
It’s unusual for sure
I used to play a version of darts but instead of ising darts I’d use throwing knives way harder but way more fun
It's the same thing as a pitchers wind up and release.
👍
Jocky went for his messages and came back 3hrs later and he was still holding the darts
i was waiting for jock to slit his own wrists while waiting for the three toed sloth to throw. the guy at the end was brilliant.
Yeah I don’t how he didn’t fall asleep. I struggle with slow players but that would send me into a coma
Terry Down is doing a Bobby George wrong eye, but it's so far above his head it's difficult to tell!
Plus you fall asleep by dart 2
Always found Andrew Guilding's throw mental. Walking a massive step to the left and then leaning back. Can't be comfortable
That’s a good shout too
@@GeniusDarts Stephen Bunting throwing to the extreme right as well 🤣
One explanation for Bobby George’s throw is he’s right hand dominant with left eye dominant ! There are players who have opposite hand and eye dominance
Ceri Morgan , that was a great thrower
👍
Bobby George is just right handed but left eyed dominant from how the throw looks (same as Phil Tayyor btw)
Bobby George has locked down the bad technique that still just looks super cool, Alex Higgins thing.
Yeah works a treat for him
Roland scholton I thought had an odd action , like he was chucking a javelin
Yeah he gave it some welly
If I ever play league again, I'm going to use a grunt/scream with every dart like tennis players who do it.
As a former competitive bowler, you should see some ridiculous styles today. Complete opposite of anything textbook out there killing it.
If it works, it works.
You missed welshman Ceri Morgan who seemed to just throw without lining up the dart to the board
Check out part 2
Gabriel “pinky up” Clemens. Stylish and effective for him.
👍
Terry Down v Ricky Evans would be a match of contrasting players, this is my submission for most obvious comment of all time
I’d pay to see it
Ceri Morgan. Bobby George said it was like he was throwing grenades rather than darts
Check out part 2
Saw an interview with Dennis Smith back in the day, apparently he's just lining up the dart in his eyeline, not anything to do with dartitis
Thanks for sharing. It’s unusual but if it works for him then fair enough
Phil Taylor poked his dart in the opposite eye too, doesn’t seem to have him much harm...
He did alright didn’t he
Shane burgess has a weird throw, always looked like he was about to rip out his eye with that action 😆😵
👍🎯
Ouch, that really looks dangerous - amazing that he still has his right eye. 🙈🤣
@ 0:42
"Who so holds this dart posse's the power of Thor!"
-Odin,
😂😂😂
The best bit was the craziest dart throws ever.
🤙👍👍
And Suljovic has Dartitis. It is great that he is that extremely good.
I hope he gets back to his best. Signs are promising.
Talk about a motley crew of pub crawlers lol!!!
😂😝🎯
For mouth action it has to be Dave Whitcombe, also the weird Bob Anderson flick, but I also liked the cobra like action of Leighton Rees it was beautiful.
Oh there’s a few that do it. Interesting how common it is
I thought Colin Monk was strange to watch, He was another with mouth issues when releasing his dart and Bristow's grip was a sight to behold
So many have the mouth movements. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it
A friend of mine holds the dart sideways, pointed to the left nearly 90° while aiming, then throws t20. Crazy shit
Just woke up from that terry downs throw
Imagine that in the modern game
@@GeniusDarts he’d be booed more than price in 2018
Anderson would lose his mind against him
Watching this stoned at 2:30 in the morning😂😂😂
Oh wow. I need to try that. Was it good?
Mike Gregory had an extremely weird throw too
Aye he did
You should look at Conrad danials from the indoor league
Richie Burnett should be a javelin thrower as well as a dart thrower. 😅😅🎯
And a ballet dancer
What brand of jeans do dart players wear?
Levis 501's.
You missed Chizzy... no idea how he can aim properly, but it works for him.
His jerk comes after the release though. That’s why it works
Mouth motions has to go to The Magnet Mick McGowan, nice the oul Felix get a look in at the intro. Some honorable mentions Leighton Rees with "the python" as I called it, Ronnie Baxter unique set up/line up. An at the time when Eric started his Grip with his "extended" pinkie got a lot of ribing from the boys
I watched Baxter so much it just seemed so normal.
Ceri Morgan my favourite 😊
My favorite is Tony Dawkins - as Straight to the Point Darts said: He must have picked up darts on Opposite Day, because he just does everything the textbook says you shouldn't: Not only that weird hop, but also no follow-through, moving the upper body, snatching the dart, etc., - it's amazing that he is able to hit anything at all. But this isn't even the weirdest darts player from Gibraltar - there is a guy named George Fredrico whose throw is even funnier as he snatches the dart in a very funny way with zero follow-through.
It is mind blowing. Just shows though that textbook is for most, but not all people.
It must be the only sport were simply holding a dart, can be so different and unique to each thrower, oh yes throwing again, all those different styles, Javelins are all held and thrown almost identically...
Yep, and normally you have no say of how you do it. Just whatever feels natural.
How the hell did you miss out jocky Wilson you had him in the back of number 2 but then totally missed out on number one anyway fun video
Sulovic makes a cigarette before each throw😂😂😂😂
the lower u go in ranks, the crazier it gets :D
Haha yea that’s true
The girl at the end, was taking each dart out of his pocket.
Looks like that.
it is not a girl, his name is Tom :)
hell of a player, but strange action I agree
@@ArneHanssen you missed the sarcasm
@@doublejab1714 sarcasm calling someone with long hair a girl? wow
Nothern Ireland style... have a look how people here throwing
How do they throw?
Probably not a good idea to watch these. Physical is contagious
I couldn’t copy half of these if I tried.
Ceri Morgan was a classic throw
👍🎯
The last one is really disturbing
Haha but it works so why not?
Ceri Morgan???
Not there... Cmon... He looked like he was rubbing one out when he threw.
Check out part 2
Ceri Morgan. According to Bobby Grorge, it looked like he was throwing hand grenades!
Check out part 2
Jockey Wilson had a strange throw im sure of.
Leighton Rees, Eric Bristow...there must be more...
There’s possibly many more yes
Rees actually has a good throw, only bad thing about it is that he has that Mardle turn. Same goes for Tony O'Shea.
I trow like. Ceep the dart trait and 1 mile sec whrn i trow i point it slightly down
Bobby George and Phil Taylor both throw taking aim with their dominant eye. Not difficult to understand or explain.
Kerry Morgan of wales has the weirdest throw action if them all.🎯🎯🎯
Check out part 2
When i was a kid in 1980s we used to go play darts on sunday in local pub, and there was someone there who threw darts in the weirdest way i have ever seen.
Sort of like your no1, but weirder.
But it worked for him, as a pub player.
Some people throw darts in the weirdest ways, but like we know, what ever works for them. Obviously no real technical quality really, just a very personal way to throw a dart.
Yeah for sure. However you first pick it up and throw it is the way it should be. Whatever comes naturally.
Justin pipe always looks like he's just about to snare an insect with his tongue
