Thank you for actually talking about his grip. Nobody ever talks about finger placement in people's throws, despite it (imo) being the most important aspect to one's style.

[BectonBen]

When I first started playing I played with my foot straight on like Luke put changed it after watching videos, recently gone back to it, much more comfortable for me

[NonnyStrikes]

Finally. Someone that uses basic fundamentals of throwing to a target with a small object.

People tend to really confused their throws by watching videos. This is the one I would show ANY beginner for a reference.

Lukes throw is very consistent and smooth. He is definetely in top form and the best in the game atm!! 👍🎯

I have the exact same stance and grip as Luke Humphries! Wow, when growing up, playing darts i always thought i was doing something wrong with the 4 finger grip/ index on shaft when comapring my throw to the professionals. Thought it may be a result of not having a really dominant eye but now i know you can have success doing whatever you find natural if you develop the kind of feel for it Luke has.

I grip a dart like Eric Bristow, as when I was young he was the one winning everything and he was the darts hero at the so I copied him. Unfortunately that is where our similarties in the world of darts end, as I have never been very succesful. I would say to anyone starting to play darts now is to do everything as comfortable as you can. Use darts that you prefer. Remember to enjoy it. Your style is your style, it won't everyone but it is your style. Then practice practice practice and then keep practicing. If you've got you've got it if you haven't you haven't. Me I haven't got it but I still enjoy it.

I use just a slightly angled foot and a similar grip but hold it further up the dart. I also prefer a 27 gram+ dart. I tried to go the skinny light dart route but found that I could not be as consistent without some more surface area to hold onto.

I feel like I’m watching a robot when I watch Luke throw lol

I tried the straight stand over the last week before I just saw this video because I very often hit the 1 instead of the 20. And believe it or noot, for me it seems to be a better position and I reduced the fail throws for more than 50%. I also noticed that I keep my upper body much straighter overall and my back no longer arches like it usually does. I can see a straight line of the throwing arm much better and can connect my hand better to the focused target. A much better choice for me and also healthier for my ankle.

[davidspriggs]

I learned as a boy (69 now) that if you 'point' your whole body at the target you are focused on hitting the target
If Luke can get better control of the mental/emotional aspect he can be a force to contend with for a long time

[DJ_Sharpee]

Gary Anderson also stands very straight on the oche with his toes pointing forward.

[mr-yoyo-]

best tip for stance keep your weight on the heel of your lead foot, after this everything else will steady itself up rather you have a raised trail leg or both feet flat on the floor

[floydthevoid]

I tryed a lot of different stances. straight/90° or in between. But in the End it seems to be more important how the Eyes Lined up with the Throw instead. if you are Right Handed and your Left Eye is Dominant (Like Phil Taylor) you had to correct way more when you Line up Straight because of the Possition of the Body and the Head.

[ReneBrain]

I've tried it a few months ago when i was learning how to throw an to find my throw...it made it easier for me in the beginning throwing more straight into the 20 instead on the neighbouring numbers BUT...i could only do it like 3-4 times and then i just couldn't stand ln my right leg anymore because it strained me so hard that i had to give up this position. Angled is my way to go because i can handle it much better and now with getting better at throwing i do actually prefer to stand with an angle because i am hitting now better than his style. But kudos to anyone who can adapt it and use it to their advantage. It is just not for me

[thefishinglor]

i like a short barrel too it seems to fly better somehow

[thug_nose]

Joe cullen also stands with his toes pointing towards the board 😊

[duaneringlein]

Having tried different stances when throwing I know stand straight forward. Seems to keep my darts more consistent and if I do throw bad it's usually my arm movement at fault. Still trying to have a more consistent grip on my darts.

[Moontanthefirst]

Hmmm. Doesn’t look to me that his thumb is anywhere near the middle of the barrel, as you suggest. Looks like it is opposite his index finger, which is as you note, right back on the shaft.
Whatever he does though works awesomely well for him!

[JamesParsons-bciq]

Didn't have to wait 3yrs he's already champion
