backward movement too long

[Troll]

Hi guys.My backward movement is too long ,you all have it very little ,my is very long,I understand I am doing something wrong ,but I cant understand what ,also you all get momentum out of it ,I just get stuck . There is trick somewhere that I am missing ,but I cant understand what is it .

actually not too bad Troll- Bring it to your face, your shooting from the side of your face. Bring it slowly to your eye, pause then launch.

[Troll]

What it means from the side of your face ?

[Nucky]

When you are drawing your arm back, instead of coming straight back, it is moving to your left at the end of your stroke. If you keep it in front of your eye, you will release it square to the board and straight. You aren't drawing it back too far though, it looks good.

I agree with what others are saying. It looks like you are taking the dart back to your left ear instead of in front of your left eye. I've always been a firm believer in the less motion in your throw, the more consistent it will be. Sometimes less is more.

[Troll]

So you all want ,me to hit my eye.Thats not nice
Thanks for advices

[Getagrip]

whats the problem your having moomin, is it lack of power throwing from a shorter drawback?

can you show us a pic of your wrist position too.

[Troll]

Yes I would say so.That it is lack of power

[Getagrip]

may need a stronger flick

[USMC80]

off topic but you lunge forward quite a bit as well.

[Troll]

You told me that before

[USMC80]

is the lunge because you feel you need the extra power?

[Troll]

No it isnt ,because of that ,I dont know how to stand right,About backward movement ,I stop now when I touch my cheek with thumb ,is that better or I need to stop it earlier before cheek?

[Getagrip]

there is no right or wrong way, its what feels right to you.

After reading this decided to follow the advice by putting the dart closer in front of my eye and not so close to my ear. I found the darts do fly straighter for me with less warble which has always concerned me. I just did around the board in doubles and it felt comfortable so I'll just keep at it. Now if i could get that accuracy that you all have I'm in there.
