If they would ever make a dart robot, I reckon it would be based on Phil's throw.
Completely by the book IMO

One weird thing is he releases the dart with the point down.
This is why I think mimicking one person is bad. Gary Andersons throw looks just as textbook in slow motion, but we know it's a very different throw than Taylors. What's different about it?

Taylor's throw has changed over the years.
At least his grip of the darts did.
Although not as clearly visible as in the wonderful slo-mo video posted by the topic starter, the next video gives a nice look in the development in Phil's throw/grip

So who has a better throw to mimic?

Grip and angle of release are the only odd things I have ever noticed
And no one. You shouldn't mimic anyone. Your body doesn't move exactly like Phil's. You should do your natural throw hundreds of thousands of times.

Does "use your natural throw" mean I have licence to stop short/snatch and move my elbow after aiming,and dance on the oche?

I have screws in my elbow, so it's physically impossible to follow through completely. Answer for me is obviously yes it's ok.

Hankey has a beautiful throw. One of the best. So smooth
