While dart throwing techniques vary from player to player there are a handful basic tips that you need to master in order to start throwing steady darts. Without these fundamentals is the reason why the majority of people cannot throw their darts darts consistently every time. In this blurb we are going to explain the best way to grip the dart and set you on the path to throwing skillful darts.
We need to make sure that we have your grip established. If you see professional darts players you will notice that their grips vary greatly. So certainly you will need to find a grip that works appropriately for you, if you use these tips this shouldn't be an issue.
Firstly then hold the dart in three fingers - your thumb and two forefingers, this is the minimal number of fingers you need to hold a dart so do not try and use less otherwise you will have no balance in your throws. If this is uncomfortable for you then you can increase the number of fingers you grip with. Do this until you find a hand configuration that works well for you.
Secondly start to balance the dart; feel where the weight sits in your hand. You need to ensure that the dart remains pointing upwards at all times in your grip. Take a handful of practice throws with this basic grip and check that the dart remains balanced in flight and stays pointing upwards as it leaves your grip. Getting a friend to check for you will make it easier for you to focus on your throw.
Thirdly ensure that the grip you are using is sturdy, balanced and doesn't cause any tension in the muscles of your hand, wrist and fingers. An overly tense grip will effect your throwing and the muscles will not react properly when you try and release your dart. This results in poor aim and flight meaning you are unlikely to hit any dart throwing consistency. Ideally you want your grip to be comfortable and not too loose so you can manage perfect dart control through each step of the throwing process.
Finally, once you have found a comfortable grip, practice with it. Use a variety of comfortable grips and find which one works best for your game. The first comfortable grip you find may not be the only comfortable grip you can find and it may not be the best grip for your game.
