Hi all. First time poster, long time reader/watcher of DN.
I've played for a number of years. My game isn't bad, I'll hit a dozen 180's per year, maybe 100 or so 140's. I ain't scary, but I'll manage a few sub 20 dart games a month.
Last few months, I've been having major issues with my grip. I can't seem to get a good hold of the dart when readying to throw. It will fall out of my hand, or slip on the 'backswing'.
I hold the dart at the end of my fingertips with my thumb and first 3 fingers and this hasn't changed too much to my knowledge. But, I think a subtle shift in grip has occurred. This problem is driving me nutz Guests cannot see images in the messages. Please register at the forum by clicking here to see images. (I have played and practiced with the dart held more in the fingers too, not the fingertips - it is consistent but I don't throw as accurately),
Question: anyone here know how to approach grip from a fundamental view? That is, I'd like to see if I can't build a grip that will work for me that is technically sound, and durable.
This dropping of darts and having them slide in my hand whilst throwing is not good, and is ruining my game and enjoyment of it.
Anyone?
Thanks....
