He and I were born on the same day! Maybe that's why I throw like him.

Not the same year though... he's got 13 of those (and a few hundred thousand £££s) on me.

I wish I threw like him Guests cannot see images in the messages. Please register at the forum by clicking here to see images.

I'm with you on those results Grip. I've tried to throw with what appears very little effort on his part and my darts just hit the bottom of the board.

I know he's a pretty big guy and obviously generates a good deal of velocity with his silky smooth throw, but I can't imitate it with anywhere near the results he achieves.

My release is more along the style of Simon Whitlock where they are fired in the board----------but with my results.Guests cannot see images in the messages.

Nice posts Hamo - thanks for your work buddy +1 from me.

[Getagrip]

my throw is kind of slow but I also have more of an upward angle and I can throw flatter with some darts but have to add a little more wrist into it which does me no good after a few minutes, just cause my wrist to ache Guests cannot see images in the messages.

I did try a different kind of throw recently with a bit of success, its more like a finger thrust but was a bit tiring, going to have to work on it I think.
