Darts Masterclass 5# Switching targets, practice drill - Hit more doubles.

Masterclass 5# on How to play darts, how to throw straight darts. This segment is based on Switching targets to keep your throw the same on all targets. Important to improve your finishing in 501.

Hi, I'm coach Daniel Poole, the official coach of Glen Durrant among many others through straight to the point darts and also a part of Glen Durrants' coaching business and creat coaching videos for Target darts Elite Players.

All of my video's are based on how to play darts as well as advice on equipment to guide dart players in their darting journey.

I am a full-time darts coach working with PDC professionals and armatures alike.
I throw around an 80 average myself with my left hand due to injury and dartitis in my right arm.

I may, on occasion, use footage from the Professional darts corporation (the P.D.C) as well as The British Darts organisation (The B.D.O). These are used under fair use legislation, and all credit should be given to the rightful creators.

If I could be half as good as these subjects I be insanely happy.
Excellent practice drill .

Had to play guitar in at least one video 😄 🤣 let me know if it should stay. :)

Great video, been struggling with switching low on scoring visits so this is right up my alley. Any chance of an Andrew Gilding throw analysis given his recent brilliant success and lovely action?

I do this exact drill.
Has helped me a bit. Although i have zero talent.
I have another good training game i often play.
X01 in 9
I start with 101 and have to check out in 9.
If i do it, go to 121, then 141, 161 etc.
If i fail, i drop down to the previous target.
My best is 201 in 7.
(As i say, i have zero talent).
I also play this game with 2 players. I.e. we are on the same team and alternate who starts.
Lets say we are on 101 and i get 59 with my first 3, they then have to try for 42. If they don't i finsh. They start the next leg.
Sometimes i jazz it up by requiring a double to start.
It's good for calculating the finish, setting up, practising getting those essential singles (like if your left with 42, you gotta get a 2 or a 10. Even the pros mess that up occasionally) and having to get a double.

Nice tips and great practice drill. I'll be trying it later.

Good information. Use your back and hips as a turret to move your darts around the board.

Thank you so much

[lukebeard]

[chriscampbell]

Great video, as always! Thanks for the info

[GeniusDarts]

Very interesting. Will give this a bash for sure

[sladeeddison]

Great video mate, off topic question - you’re clearly a very good player, have you thought about/tried going pro?

[jelly]

Very helpful!
May I ask what it is with the finger licking before throwing? I have seen Pros on TV also do it and I never could figure out why one does that? To clean the fingers? Or?

Thanks! Keep em coming and guitar is 👍

My problem is I can't hit a treble 20 unless I've had a few beer 👍🍺🎯

Can I ask a random question please. How do I know what weight darts are right for me. Currently using Aspinall 26g but is there any tell signs that their too heavy or light?

[Trounty]

My darts always seem to land in different angles, i think its my release but no matter what i tried it doesnt get better. I tried to open my hand as wide as i can for the release and they still fly very inconsistent in the air.

[ErikOnlineDarts]

I started darts a few months ago and I struggle switching targets. I can hit 20's 9 darts in a row and not a single miss. I switch to 19's and all 3 first darts miss. Hitting 16's even ... Would u say this is because my elbow is too high or do i release too early ?

[nikobayanay]

Great video . Quick question. This might not be related to the current video but is it normal to experience pain in the shoulders after throwing for at least an hour daily? Been practicing for almost a month now.

Do you coach full time now? Love the content as always Mr Poole
