I began playing darts without knowing much more than stand behind the scotch tape line and throw and TRY to hit the board. Never even pointed for cricket, played first to close everything, no double out on X01 either.
I developed a pretty crap grip and throw making up for my lack of energy to get the darts I was using to the board.
I would hold the dart with 2 fingers and thumb on the very tips of my fingers. Right before release I'd use my fingers and occasionally elbow to lift the dart higher. This of course is super inconsistent and really killing my practice trying to eliminate it.
When I go to grab a dart now, this is still my natural grip and throw.
How have any of you fixed grip faults and found a new grip? Ive been practicing A1 with different grips and after an hour everything I try still feels off.
Here's some photos showing how I hold the dart now, I'm still waiting on non brass darts to come in the mail Guests cannot see images in the messages. Please register at the forum by clicking here to see images.
