You call it really bad at darts. I call it freestyle acupuncture.

I find I'm more accurate if I stand closer to the board - I'm deadly from 3 ft away.

I watched this and then literally hit a tops finish for the first time in my life on my first board that has been here two days. Following through from the chin makes a gigantic difference!

Lots of Practice, grouping your darts and working on those doubles. Consistency is key !!!
Any movement of your darts towards the sides with your wrist and your dart will go all over the place.
Plus keep that back foot planted to the ground so you aren’t doing a balancing circus act.
Have fun is the main thing in darts. Hopefully you all shoot em well and if you develop better maybe join a tour whether it’s in Canada, America, Europe, Asia, etc...

Its the same with every sport. Body alignment, mechanics, and gravity are all taken into account. Same with punching in boxing, throwing a bowling ball, javelin, discus or pitching in baseball. And being less tense and comfortable is key.

I loved Norman's antics on the stage of the World Cup even though everyone else seemed to be embarrassed.

Good tips. My stance and grip is good and everything is balanced. I'm hitting 12's when I'm aiming at 20

[thomasnuk]

He is that guy that played for Canada in the World Cup 😂😂 celebrating every single dart 😶😂😂

I'm getting into playing since we have a dartboard at home that went unused for ages. The problem I'm running into with trying the technique in the video is that my body proportions make it tough to line up a shot with a 90 degree angle of my elbow. I'm 6'4 and quite long in the limbs, which presents a difficulty in aiming that way.

+545 for being a Canadien's fan and a great vid!

[claymore]

So the best tips are: throw how it feels natural. Keep your head still. Make sure you fully extend the wrist and arm.

How do some dart throws make it so the dart has a downward angle when it hits the board. Mine are always parallel to the ground when they hit.

[janhansen]

Do u spin the dart in your hands? When i watch at tv, dart always spin before it hits the board

[CONNORCASSIDYT]

I am playing darts recently bcoz we are in lockdown but I keep changing my throw when ever I hit a bad score any suggestions because some throws I feel uncomfortable but throw ok but my most comfortable throws I don’t throw as good???
