    Thanks for posting this, really good info here! I have the same struggles as you mentioned where I will lose my grip and the confidence that comes with it. I also struggle often w/ playing amazing at home for multiple sessions and then going to a live tourney and completely losing the feel/consistency. I like your suggestions and knowing someone of your calibre struggles the same way at times, gives me more confidence I'm not a freak and hopefully those tips get it back more quickly.

    Thank you! This was everything I needed to hear. My PPD had dropped 3 PPD from last season and nothing felt right. I spent a night finding what was comfortable, and it was similar but different to my old grip. Still takes concentration not to fall back into my old grip, but it will become natural with time.

    Thanks for posting this. I think grip and follow through are permanently paired - and I have come to realize recently that my grip is affected by my footing too. I totally agree with your point on the bullseye. Una pregunta...what do you do to keep your hands dry during a match or tournament? Are you a fan of chalk or rosin? Keep posting - love your videos.

My hands generally don’t get too sweaty, unless it’s super humid, but I have had that problem before and I’ll always wash my hands between every match, then I just use my shirt as a towel between throws if needed and blow on them. I don’t like chalk or resin, always makes me feel weird having something on my hand

    I have a really hard time not aiming while trying to fix my grip/form, but one thing I tried that helped a bit was that I rotated my dartboard so the 20 is not at the top, i put it at the side or bottom which kind of subconsciously makes me not worry about what number I'm hitting.

    Thank you for this video! I've been struggling on my grip for the past few months and I wanna ask for some advise. I use 3 fingers and I kinda wrap my 4th finger ( the one beside the thumb, i dont know what to call it ) and my 3rd finger is on the point. I really have this uncomfortable feeling every time I throw. Sometimes, my throw can't reach the 20's and it just goes everywhere. Do you have any tips about this? Cause i feel like all of my practices are always in vain and I dont see the result. Thank you.

    • @BullshotDarts
      @BullshotDarts  Год назад +1

      Hey! So it’s kind of hard to help without seeing it, but if it doesn’t feel comfortable, switch up your grip until something feels right. Doesn’t focus on targets, focus on feeing comfortable then when it does the darts will start to hit!

  • @tiyawn29
    @tiyawn29 Год назад

    Weirdly enough, i discovered on my own that throwing at the bullseye is a way for me to "reset" my mind...if that makes any sense.
    Like,if I am having a bad moment, I just step back,take a deep breathe and then throw at the bullseye until I feel confident again...even if I don't hit it that much,just by throwing at it,helps with my aiming/throw around the board.
    It is like a reset button for me...too bad I can't do it when I am having a match😅

  • @EvenStarsBurnUp
    @EvenStarsBurnUp Год назад

    Im new to darts. Playing an hr a day last 3 weeks. Havent found my throw yet. Ive had the most accuracy with a loose grip, 2 fingers on top and thumb on bottom. No curving just a little sandwich. I keep my wrist straight from my forearm. I think my throw has too much arc and is too soft for deflections. I am debating if I should force myself to a different grip. I know I will decline in short term but hopefully long term it will be better. I notice you angle your wrist back and you use your thumb to press the dart against your pointer finger. I tried your throw. I found the darts throws are faster and have a spiral that I havent had before. I am releasing it too late. I might keep trying it, but im still draw to the comfort of my preferred grip. I cant say I am an expert on professional dart player history. I notice your throw looks similar to Mike Gregory, maybe others Im not aware of. Did you take any inspiration from any pro player when finding your grip.

    • @BullshotDarts
      @BullshotDarts  Год назад

      Hey Nil welcome to darts! Awesome to hear you’re getting in a lot of practice and dedicated to improving your game! As far as inspiration for my grip, I’ve always done what’s comfortable for me. It took me over a year of throwing to get to the grip I have now, nd even then, I still make minor adjustments here or there. But my throw as a whole, Phil Taylor was my biggest inspiration. Keep playing with your grip and see what happens, most importantly it has to be comfortable for you. Check out my other videos and see if they help! Good luck!

  • @tbfromnc5944
    @tbfromnc5944 Год назад

    Thanks for the video. I have only been playing for less than 1 yr and have been watching many videos about proper throwing motions. I noticed that a lot of professionals and you included tend to pause with the dart in front of the eye prior to coming forward with the follow through. Are you aiming at this time? I tried to practice taking my dart slower back, even stop to aim a bit like Phil Taylor, but everytime I do it my dart ends up flying in the 1,5, 12 or even 18. However, when I bring my arm back and forward faster, I hit my targets more consistently (more often singles with a few trebles and doubles). I would like to hit more 180s and doubles more often and more consistently, so is it a problem to do what I do? I don't feel like I'm aiming at all. Any advice? thanks for any input.

    • @BullshotDarts
      @BullshotDarts  Год назад

      Hey! So this comes down to comfortability. When I pause before throwing, that is when I’m doing my aiming, but you don’t have to pause to aim. MVG flows for his whole throw but he def is aiming somewhere in that throw. So it all comes down to what’s comfortable for you!

    • @BullshotDarts

      Shaft length and flight size will help, but also make sure you’re holding the dart straight to the board and releasing straight. Longer shaft with bigger flight will help stabilize. Good luck!

      For design there’s the shape of the barrel then the grip pattern. The grip pattern doesn’t have an effect for me personally, and wouldn’t think it would for other players, but the shape of the barrel can def be a determining factor for your grip

  • @darrenpaoletta9901
    @darrenpaoletta9901 Год назад

    You are naturally a front gripper. I know this because your index finger is pointing in the air because you can't get to lay on the barrel and your playing more to the back of the barrel bet you hit a lot of 1s and 5s. reason for this is you use your middle finger on the point as a stabiliser then your place thumb in the middle of the barrel which is to much of a stretch ..reason why pointer finger won't drop....move your thumb closer to the point index finger will drop good by 1s and 5s

      You’re looking for your comfortable grip. Everyone’s grip is always evolving, what feels comfortable one day won’t another day so you make minor adjustments to make it comfortable again, thus re-finding your (comfortable) grip.

    You wrongly state grip, then you continue more correctly by saying hold. Nobody should grip the dart. The dart must grip you, it sounds strange but it's fact.

    Stop saying grip, you only think you do it, you don't, you need to get the dart to grip you. You throw the invisible dart. In darts it's a treble not a triple, it comes from the sound of the dart hitting the treble nothing to do with a multiple segment.
