Many people are wondering how to throw darts in the right way. Fortunately, several resources are out there that can help you solve this problem. However, learning how to throw darts does not necessarily depends on merely listening to the possible suggestions and instructions. The best way to learn how to throw darts is no other than playing the game, but having an excellent guide from the beginning is a great plus.
Now, here are the dos and don’ts of a dart throw.
On Joints and Levers
The shoulder: In learning how to throw darts, one should note first that the shoulder is the only point in the whole process that does not change its position. Therefore, in order to get a good hit, you must not move your body when throwing. Obviously, that’s the first DON’T. Now where does the throwing action come from? The answer is your “arm”.
The elbow: In aiming the dart, the elbow should stay in position especially when moving the dart forward. This is also helpful at some point in the acceleration phase. As you may have known, it is the elbow that would force you to release the dart earlier. Also, in learning how to throw darts, one should carefully note that the elbow must be raised in the later phase of throwing, but the hand still follows the way of the dart after releasing it. According to some experts, this will make the release easier for the fact that we don’t have to find a completely accurate release point any more.
The wrist: Usually, in most debates on how to throw darts, the wrist action is often the subject matter. Well, for some people, there is not much to do about it, but for most pro players, the wrist action is vital in learning how to throw darts efficiently. The primary reason behind this is basically the claim that the wrist action helps in the acceleration. If you do wrist snap, the tip of the dart will accelerate faster, enabling you to move the other parts of the lever system slower. So, in learning how to throw darts, you must put less force in your throw to improve your accuracy. However, there is one risk in wrist snap, that is, it is one more thing that must be controlled and so one more source of errors. Control it if you can!
Object of Desire
The dart: If you want to learn how to throw darts, you must keep in mind that the main object of desire in this game is the dart. Since it is often suggested to move the dart in a parabolic curve, try to make this happen. Note that in the geometric language of darts, the dart must always be in line with the throwing parable’s tangent in the angle of intersection of your hand and the parable. While learning how to throw darts, you should note that the dart points up in the aiming position which must be increased in the backward movement and decreases steadily in the acceleration phase. Just remember that a dart that points down in any of the throwing phases is very bad. That’s another DON’T!
