That's the great thing about it - there is no right or wrong in throwing, you can follow a few good advices, but in the end, you have to find your throwing style yourself, and in the end, you have to go with the style which leads to be best results and with which you feel most comfortable with, no matter how unorthodox it may be.

That Terry Down guy would manage to get me enraged. I would eventually snap and throw my darts at him or something, or set up another board to the side to practice on at the same time. I guess the only reason he won anything is because his opponents were fighting an inner war and lost all focus. Damn I'd just forfeit the match if I saw his name coming up as my opponent. My goodness, his pace goes beyond any of these weird throws in this video lol.

@TomasMisura 2 жыл бұрын

I think reason why Petri Korte was throwing like that he wanted to be sure his elbow is on the same position so rather than moving his throwing hand he was moving the hand that was holding the the darts. He put his hands as close as possible where throwing hand made just a very little move and grabbed the dart

Jocky smoked a whole packet of cigarettes and drunk the bar dry before the end of the first leg against Terry Down. Terry Down makes Justin Pipe look like Ricky Evans. One of my friends who is also very good at darts stood with both feet at the oche like Lorraine and we even game him the nickname Lorraine - She is a decent player - I think unique throw of all time not worst should be the title.

I always wondered how Joe Cullen can be so accurate with his throw. It doesn't look crazy but watch carefully, he pulls the dart back to his shoulder somewhere, nowhere near his eye line. How can you possibly aim like that?!

@Straightdarts 2 жыл бұрын

He dose it by finding the line he want the dart to travel down using visualisation. He then throws the dart down that line of sight on the throw. When the dart leaves his hand its down the line of the shot. It's takes alot of hand eye coordination apposed to aiming straight down the line and throwing and is generally less consistent. :)

I could be trailing by a mile and still win. Asked how he aims, he said that he does not :)

@bioLarzen 2 жыл бұрын

Good list. Let me add add two more: Jelle Klaassen does something rather similar to Bobby George, pulling the dart accross his face to his other side eye, holding it so the dart is to the side of his hand rather than on top - and then has a definitely jerky throw. The other is Joe "rockstar" Cullen. The vast majority of darts players hold the dart so it is in their line of sight: between their eyes and the board. Cullen seems to hold the dart so it never is, but rather right of his head - like you throw a javelin (with a smaller swing of course). It is hard to judge it based on what the cameras show of course, but it definitely seems like the dart never really gets between his eyes and the board before he throws it. I've always found it rather strange. But hey, it works for him, doesn't it? And that's what counts.

@6:18 He does that due to an eye imbalance. Like an archer with an eye patch it's to try and regain focus on the dominant eye. I suffer with it from time to time. Eyes start fighting for dominance and it can completely ruin your throw until you get them back in check and under focus

I can only assume that Korte uses his left hand as a sort of measurement gauge. Like he uses his left hand to determine where his right hand should be positioned. But who knows? It really comes down to what feels right for the individual. Not a comment on his throw technique, but this video reminded me of another player from years back. I can't remember his name, but his eyes used to look to the left just before he threw. When asked about it, he didn't even know that he did it. He looked like Meatloaf. Anyone remember him?

There's plenty of different ways to throw. What matters is a technique that's easy to replicate time after time. A lot of the players in this video will have flashes of brilliance but struggle over the long term. Bobby George was unorthodox but threw the same way every time. Ultimately those that stay at the top have a simple consistent action and are the best examples to try and emulate.
