The Arm support item listed on the RD website has a very brief description which does not inspire me to purchase it yet i would like to know much more about this product.
Description copied and pasted
Developed specifically to improve, protect and correct the dart throwing arm. The dart arm support is a dream for training and playing with perfect biomechanics.
One size fits all.
Can you tell us more about this item?

Haven't heard of it before..... sounds like a load of Gimmicky Bollocks to me.

Yes mate, ask away...
Even though I think it's all Bollocks... I'd be intrigued to see some Pics and a more in depth explanation of this device.

Suffering from tennis elbow I have used tubigrip (compression bandage) when its really painful - if anything it hinders the throw as it restricts a fluid arm movement, may keep your arm straighter etc but given the choice I would play without any sort of compression on my elbow.
Just my thoughts like - may work for some people.

This could be just what i need. My elbow has been particularly sore recently and i'm having to cut right back on my practice.

I think Anastasia uses one now too. They seem to be very popular with the Asian soft tip players also. I have used compression shirts and shorts when playing football, and i found them to be very comfortable once i got used to them. great for keeping moisture away and for helping to keep muscles warm. Not sure about wearing one for darts myself, but i could cut the sleeve off of one of my old shirts at some point i guess.

I have a edge sport x phi ten compression arm sleeve, it comes in different sizes depending on the circumference of your arm, and has muscle tapes that help recovery inside the part that covers your tricep/biceps. I find it particularly useful when I feel that my arm is weak with no strength to it (and i only use it when this happens), it enables me to throw as i would normally do using less effort. Some people may find it a gimmick, but to each his own! One man's meat might be another man's poison.
