How To Throw A Dart

Watch any top professional darts player and you will notice that their throw is repetitive, almost machine like. They have honed their throw into a comfortable fluid action which can be repeated again and again, which improves accuracy and consistency.

When you are throwing darts, your head and body (other than your throwing arm) must remain still. Any additional movements while throwing will effect your accuracy. Have your elbow pushed out and your forearm straight. All your movement should come from your elbow joint, use your elbow as a pivot for your forearm. DO NOT push the dart through by using your shoulder, this will throw it off line. All the power generated to throw the dart should come from the wrist.

Your throw should have a small pullback, a straight and firm release and a follow through. The follow through is crucial, if you fail to follow through, you will have a short stabbing motion which can not consistently achieve good results.

It is important to not lob or loop your darts when throwing. your dart should be released firmly along your aim line and its trajectory line should be like an arc that begins at your aim line and ends at your target. It is hard to get any level of consistency if you lob your darts at the target. Throwing smoothly and firmly at your target will give you greater accuracy.

Your overall goal should be to develop a smooth natural throwing style which you can repeat constantly with as little body movement as possible. Your darts throw should then work like a well oiled machine and you will be more likely to perform well under pressure.

Practice hard and during matches always play the board and not the opponent.

And most importantly, enjoy your darts.

opinions on close combat training by capt. chris - legit or sham?

I kept an open mind regarding this, his theories about gross motor control and adrenaline rushes sound reasonable. I would like to hear the opinions of martial arts practitioners and self defense aficionados out there regarding this system. are the techniques really effective? e.g. finger-dart, edge of hand, tiger claw, chin-jab. any form of reaction is welcome. sound off guys....

I have never done it. I did read his page once and it sounds like a scam to me
