    First video I watched from your channel and is exactly what I needed. I love how you included the miss and the one when you were testing releases. All the pros have copy paste tips but these were different and they work. My favorite tip was going up and over with your wrist. I’ve been playing with my elbow and I already see a positive change. Keep up the good work😎

    Cracking video mate. The main thing I used to struggle with and I've almost gotten over was my balance/stance and now I've improved it, my darts are going so much better now. I am guilty of not having a proper training regime when it comes to darts, I just can't stay focused when I do them. Keep up the good work 👍🏼🎯

    I've been playing amateur darts for 20 years and I've made all of these mistakes but I have rectified most of them except for my release, I am still struggling with the release. I think I might be relying on my eyes too much, I believe I am going to practice that 'look-away' throw that you did. Thanks.

  • @stevenjohnson8507
    @stevenjohnson8507 Před 5 měsíci +3

    Recall, you golfers out there. How often is it emphasized by the pros that a light grip pressure is best? Tight grip pressure anything destroys the fundamental concept that muscles and joints should be at ease in their performance. Lastly, likely, you wouldn't have a rolled-up ball of paper in a death grip when you're simply tossing it into the trash. I can't think of a better way to throw a dart than this analogy. It comes to us so naturally. If I were to introduce the game to my little niece and nephew for an entire month, they would hold nothing in their hand but a rolled-up piece of the paper ball a few feet from the trash basket and turn it loose with fifty balls a day.

    Great video! For me I know I need new darts, but I have no idea what weight, style or flight I need. If I buy them off ebay and they don't feel right I don't want to have to buy more.
    If I go into a shop its not like I can test them out properly either.

      Start off with a “cheap”-ish 90% tungsten straight barrel dart about 22-24g. Red dragon and Winmau have great entry options for about €20-30

    Any tips?

    • @dynamytedarts
      @dynamytedarts  Před 10 měsíci +1

      Could be an alignment issue or seeing which eye dominant you are. Everything could “feel right”, but if you aren’t aligned correctly with the board, a great feeling throw could end up to the left or right. I’ll have a video going over proper alignment soon, but in the meantime check out @straighttothepointdarts . His content is awesome 🙌

    • @dynamytedarts
      @dynamytedarts  Před 10 měsíci +2

      Hey Tracy! I was similar for a while when I started out. Almost forcibly locking out my elbow on the follow through. I’ve found that since implementing the wrist “up and over” approach, and then just letting the hand drop naturally, not only are my darts landing better, I’ve had zero issues with my elbow. Worth a shot anyways, it might help. Thanks for the comment 🙌

    @mrh6577 Před 11 měsíci

    Sometimes you can over examine and think too much. You have to be careful you don’t take away any natural abilities a person has for throwing darts.
    I’ve thrown with many great players who have there foot sideways or front on, there’s pit falls in both, having it sideways increases the risk of you trying to over stretch on a throw and raising the back foot. Having front on stops that but your actually further from the board, sometimes you have to do what is natural.
    I haven’t seen any real competitions, travelling, leagues ?? Progression from pub level to any other level? If your aspirations is to be a pro darts player I’m unsure how your getting there? I use to spend half the week travelling?? If it’s online then let’s see more of it?? Although you really won’t get the same experience as doing it properly.

    • @dynamytedarts
      @dynamytedarts  Před 11 měsíci

      I appreciate the feedback my man. If ya watch the path the pro from the start I go through in detail the plan to get there: spend a few months playing online matches 2/3 times per week, pepper in a few in person events, then look to switch to fully in person events towards the end of the year. That’s exactly what I’ve been doing. In the meantime, I took a break to work with a coach and improve on technique.
      I am fully aware that this is an arduous task, but I have the patience to stick it out.
      My next Path to Pro video next Thursday you’ll see a competition I’m competing in this Sunday with 2 PDC tour card holders.
      So yes, the odds are stacked heavily against me, but either way there’ll be a lot of interesting ups and downs along the way, which people seem to enjoy from a content POV.
      That’s my plan I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️
