DART PLAYING TIPS:
Solid and Relaxed:Your grip on the dart should be firm, stable and should not put tension to the muscles of your fingers. Please remember that darts is a not a game of force but rather touch. To try and keep your touch, just grasp the dart loosely so as to maintain control when speeding up. Common errors from players are due to gripping the dart too firmly than loosely.
Finger Coordination:
More fingers will provide more regulation and control in gathering speed or acceleration and more feel, but makes releasing difficult as there are more fingers that has to be well coordinated. Finger coordination is an important point for release in your grip.
Barrel Shape:
Not all types of dart grips will be suitable or functional on different barrel shapes. Longer barrels compel a grip using more fingers and vice versa. You need to discover the right grip for you as well as the barrel that's right for you as well.
The Stance:
When aiming, players set the eye, the dart and the target in a line. When a player makes a throw he must try to place the three control routine of his arm in a plane of two dimensions. This decreases error by disregarding sideward actions of the arm.
Balance:
Keep your balance foot on the floor at all times so lifting your balance leg when throwing is definately discouraged.
Leaning Forward:
This is a classic mistake, players think just because they are leaning closer towards the board they will hit the target easier, wrong. The more that you lean your body forward, the more unbalanced your throw will become. If you bend forward excessively, this will result to back strains in the long run. Practice and try to find a better position for throwing.
