Are you enjoying the Mardle's Masterclass series? What topics would you like to see Wayne cover in future?

If anyone was wondering why Mardle is THE go-to pundit despite not having the career of Taylor, Barny etc. this video demonstrates exactly why

Oh hell yeah i love Club 501!!!! Wayne you‘re such a nice guy. could listen to you for hours!

[ianguppy]

Great videos Wayne really enjoy them, I have played for years, but aim my darts using the point, it's been successful but watching most players apart from James Wade appear not to aim! What am I doing wrong?

[WeeIslay]

Fantastic video Mab. I’ve tried extremely hard to keep the grip light. Plus trying to keep the dart in the same position on the pull back is so important for me anyway. I’ve had some small changes in my grip since February and it feels comfortable but still not fully correct. It will come, just hope I get before I’m a pensioner 🤣👍🏻🎯

Hello Wayne from Northern California!! Great tip!! How about something on stance and eliminating vertical movement? 🤔🤔🤔

[Ryan-Putt]

Any tips on bringing the dart back? I line up the dart with my target and right eye but sometimes catch my cheek with the flight? I’ve tried coming to the side slightly towards my ear but then my aim is wayward

[grubsunited]

Hey Wayne any advice of the draw back if you can cheers

[andrewwickstead]

Mab I think after grip you need to look at the actual throw ie do you aim, do you throw at the previous dart etc but more importantly the follow through!!

[timoeichner]

So does it mean the wrist should be completely stable and in one position from set up to draw back?

[craigedwards]

Hi wayne, video in how to aim better would be appreciated, dominant eye and all that kind of info ta mate loving 501👍🏻🎯

Copying Steven hendry with a youtube channel, right job. Hope you make good money

[gatvestreet]

Absolutely love these videos. Still confused as to where the shaft rests on thumb. Is the shaft on the side of the thumb or resting directly on the tip/fatty part of the thumb tip.

I’ve tried both. Not sure what is best for me as each have benefits and flaws.

Wayne Mardle was a very good player there were just a couple of other players better. Anyway you do not have to be a good player to be a good coach.

Another great video but too add to this subject how would I find my best type of dart and setup to complement my grip and throw. I do not have anywhere local to try different shapes and sizes?

[themarketm]

Sorry if this has been covered before but I think the release itself would be great for a video. It's the part I'm struggling with the most in terms of getting better. When you say you have to begin opening your hand at just the right time, does that mean all your fingers need to leave the dart before your hand goes past the elbow... or is it just a case of that's where the release needs to begin? When you say "propel" the dart, does that mean your fingers get involved in pushing the dart and if so how does that not lead to many darts going astray into the 5 or 1 bed? I have a throw that feels nice/comfortable and I know I'm not breaking any fundamentals but my starts still go astray and land at different angles sometimes, it can only be my grip or the release part that's the issue

[kdesmet]

Not tight enough can also be a problem ... perfect follow through but the dart won't have it and stays in position resulting in landing before your feet or a few feet below the dartboard in the wall ... changing/tightening the grip or slightly rotating the wrist solved the problem for me.

i asked on waynes twitter a while back about a video on tip on finding your throw and he replied and said he really liked the idea for a video, would love to see it happen.

[darts-multiverse]

And exactly therefore, because of the unnecessarily strained muscels, if you hold and handle your dart in a for you not fitting way, you must also talk about the needless fashion of making the dart heavier than it is useful. If you use darts, which are as light as possible for you, you also strain your muscels the less.

[williamaitken]

When you say a light gripper, a description of the amount of pressure you presume that to be might be handy, my own thoughts are grip the dart only tight enough to ensure it doesn’t move during the throw,
