Darts - Beginners 3 things you must do to become a good Player

[*Saber*]

This is my opinion but I think good advice.
The other night while watching the top league match a lower league was playing and one of the newbies asked me how to become a good player.

I had played him before in Cricket and 01 and just destroyed him. A nice kid and here was my answers to him.

1. Extend your arm to your target and end up with palm of your hand down. ( 90% of players around here snatch their darts)
2. Focus
3. Practice,Practice,practice and learn your outs.
Of course there are more to it than that but you get this part down you have a solid base IMO.

You don't extend your arm in the end I'm gonna get ya. My practice partner is the only good player I have seen who snatches. Hes been playing like that for over 30 yrs like that and at one time was ranked 21st by the ADO (20 yrs ago). His snatch is about half way btw.

I emphasized the extending the arm. You give too much info and they start to think and thinking can lead to real trouble.

Watching top players is helpful

I think I need to add leaning dart math to my flight school classes. Had tons in collage but a long time ago.

I need a new arm one that will hit what I am aiming at. That would be my best advice for someone. Find a good player or even a pro and lop off his arm, lop off your own and switch them. After that everything will be easy peasy.

Not often you see "his" and "snatch" in the same sentence.

Shoot the double 20 it helps you extend the arm and follow through.

I took your advice on this as you mentioned on the old forum, when I go through those spells of 1's and 5's I use it to straighten myself up, works great as you certainly do stretch out, I even use the zero of the twenty number, when im feeling frisky. I recently took a young up and coming player under my wing (Great eye on him), I told him that you are better off smashing double top than triple 20 when practicing, a month later he is smashing everyone and hasent got a clue how to leave himself with a good peg lol. Kid never throws under 60 avg amd when he gets a good run on they go into high 70's after many games. Plus steals all the pegouts (even going the wrong way about it)
