Where to Improve my Throw -The Video

Well done for doing the videos, I would have liked to see them hitting the board as well though.

My first question is what kind of issues are you concerned about?


As far as the throw goes mechanically you are not following through after the release.

Have you always pointed the dart so vertically high?

At my club we have a very, very good player who does the same thing except he doesn't feint a throw which may cause you to be inconsistent as the feint draw back position varies on the video. The guy in my clubs action is draw back aim/steady and then a smooth forward motion and release and relaxed follow through I.e no forward backward feint type motion.
Of course everyone's style is different so I cannot say that his is better etc but to me you have to eliminate as many variables in your action as possible to become accurate and consistent.

More details on the particular improvements you are looking for will help us please.

Cheers

Yep your not following through.

Typically I hit 5's & 7's. So vertically I am not where I need be.

I am aiming at D11 then T11 then BULL then T6, D6 then back to Bull as I am trying to improve vertically. May this explain why I am not consistent?

I had no idea I wasnt following through completely and I thought my drawback (I felt) it was more substantial. It looks very little there.

The feint movement is my positioning my aim ... I oftenfeel that the point I begin my forward thrust is a weak point of mine.

Saw the same. Snatching a bit. Try over exaggerating your follow thru. Easier said then done of course.

I'd like to ask you to study Simon's throwing action (which is similar but without the feint) and then see if you can emulate it ....just an exercise let me know how you go Guests cannot see images in the messages. Please register at the forum by clicking here to see images.

no follow through...need to extend arm a little bit more for a good follow through after the release...try hitting double 20 a lot of times to help you extend it more... Guests cannot see images in the messages. Please register at the forum by clicking here to see images.

Actually looks good just like everyone else try following through, a bit of a snatch at your release
