Thanks I simply set about finding the right way to throw darts. For some crazy reason no one before me considered there must be a right way to chuck. If there is a right way to throw a cricket ball rugby ball discus or a right way to stand eg boxing stance golf stance and a right wat to swing a golf club tennis requet then as night follows day there must be a right way to stand address the board and throw a dart. I spent two and a half years finding researching and developing that way the DD way Cheers D Dave
@@carlhamilton6932 Yes mate your right i started this about 13 years ago and as usual along came the band wagon crew with no idea or logic and a few have tried to get rid of me but eventually people find me and never leave because what i say is true simple logic and doable by anyone who is prepared to put some effort and time in...
Here's my small contribution. I always use a light colored flight, dark flights don't stand out against a black backdrop. Gives me something better to aim at.
For me this works. Notice that i struggle with dark flights, but white flights work great for me to aim. I'm going to give neon flights a go and see how they work.
@@peterjohnston4472 I've only just started playing again this past 18 months after 30 years away... Every time I look at these online they're always sold out here in Australia... Don't last long
Practice with 6 darts your brain has associated the third dart with a lack of focus so if you practice with 6 darts the third will become lass significant and it helps massively with your rhythm and grouping. Cheers D Dave...
Thanks buddy just a working class lad from Manchester I love OUR game to my core and could have been a top pro but decided to help other instead 👍🏻 money isn't everything but to me everything I have done is...
How do you stop 2 things which my throw has, the wrist twisting in the release( which makes it go left)? and the bicep tensing up in the release,( this sends the dart down). When I'm loose and relaxed ,grouping is great , but one or the other creeps in, like every 6 shots. my best is 170 on the 20's and 2x25's and a bull to checkout. Amazing feeling That!
It seems quite obvious to me you have release anxiety and its far more of a mental part of your throw than physical. this happens when you overthink your throw you have to turn off and trust your body. one way you may find helps is by practicing with six darts. Relax stop thinking of the throw and just plop the darts into the board with no target in mind and no thinking involved. Cheers D Dave...
@@DynamiteDaveLlewellyn Thanks, Mate, I'm only into this with my son for 2 months or so. enjoying it a lot, Son is just as competitive. I guess that adds to my tension too. I'll work on that. cheers
I’m getting better, had my first 180 last week but just struggle with consistency daily. Any tips please to take it darts to the next level? You’re very good
Literally been throwing darts at my board for 2 years and had the biggest improvement ever by watching this. From avg 26 to 80+ in 5 mins. Now want to watch the rest!!
Hi Steve buddy it's obvious you have been doing just a small thing wrong and having the right technique is paramount to long term success. I absolutely believe there is a right way to do everything and i also believe i have found that way by over two and a half years or research and development and then well over a decade of field work proving its worth. My you tube channel 100% proves its worth and it works and for all people. Cheers Dynamite Dave...
Its all about technique adopt a solid stance and throw and it all clicks into place watch this video on how to do the DD way ruclips.net/video/kBfad0mKLHQ/видео.htmlsi=7RU8wl6nj65oXLZ6 Then watch this to see where you can get to if you put the effort in. ruclips.net/video/4Oa23nCivMo/видео.htmlsi=gQR5CopUZf4nnYg3
Hi Buddy i have run out of flights but i do have some stuff on my eBay page here is the link mate. www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?item=326162594516&rt=nc&_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l161210&_ssn=davidjohnl123
Yep i have to say i do like the Price darts i used them for about three months and had loads of very good averages they fly great and are very balanced to.
Hi Buddy how are you breaking them bounce outs or robin hoods. if its bounce outs your looking for a tough shaft like carbon. If its robin hoods then try a flight shaft combo system like L style Harrows Clic or a one piece like Condor AXE. watch this video on the Clic system. ruclips.net/video/LUt81CjUHfY/видео.htmlsi=nr17MRKChKts0z6q
So is it aiming the dart via eyes to the board or is it just throwing and muscle memory while looking at the target? Thanks for any help, full rookie here 😅🙏👍
@timoeichner2176 hi buddy and welcome to the channel and the world of darts. I address all your questions in my basics videos here is a link. ruclips.net/video/K1w6KoV4GUs/видео.htmlsi=ZICOSy_-t8cxboNc
Hi Dave I play in a league and practice alot but my darts are not going in straight!!!! I play aluminum shorts shafts what flights are you using Dave? With they click on standard aluminum shafts?? I'm playing 26 grams great whites bottleson! I'm subscribed now please help thank you Johnny.
Hi Johnny you will find it's more to do with your release or your swing than flights n stems. But if you want to tune up your darts there is a video on my channel about that. Just go to my main page click videos tab and then type darts tune up 👍🏻👍🏻😎😎🎯🎯🎯
Hi buddy if your just starting out your in the best position to get on the right path 👍🏻. So start by building the right technique go watch this video and start your journey to playing great Darts. ruclips.net/video/kBfad0mKLHQ/видео.htmlsi=eA9Y9aZRtehkIciO
Like almost every video I've seen on darts, this is great advice if you don't have a problem hitting a bed shot. It's miles above being useful if you actually suck like I do. :D Still cool technique for when I eventually get good enough to put 3 darts in the same number consistently.
So after watching this I found your videos on the basics. THAT'S exactly what I was looking for. Already improved my consistency in the first few hours and now I have a foundation to build on that doesn't keep constantly changing. 💯
This is awesome advice but I might not be ready for it because my darts aren’t hitting the board straight like yours. Somehow I’m getting a bit of a wobble in the dart’s flight so when they hit they are angled up, down, left or right. This creates some unpredictable deflections if I do happen to tap the target dart. 😢
If you do the DD way film yourself with your phone from the front place the phone or camera just under the board right in the middle. I bet you are still bringing the dart back towards your eye and as your arm goes forward on the swing your forearm is not going in a straight line once you master this your darts will fly like arrows straight and true. Watch this video from 19 minutes in shows the DD throw in slow motion. ruclips.net/video/OvpH731Q0SM/видео.htmlsi=Na8_OlZ7QbBjv9vj
Yes defiantly you can especially if your just chucking at the board aimlessly Set practice sessions are the key to great play watch this oneruclips.net/video/IdSj6Iy-v6M/видео.html Then go my main page and there is over 200 videos that will help your whole game.
I found that if you move closer to your left eye in the aim, it should help. Don't compensate with the throw that stays the same. I hope this helps you but it may take a little while to get the right spot. Good luck. 👍
Ok, my first dart always lands random in a 1, 13, 4, 3, 6, 2 or what ever so I throw the second Dart like you menioned to the flight of the first dart but for me make no sence to hit a 1, 13, 4, 3, 6, 2 or whatever again 😂😂😂 I think you just give us very very advanced tipps for a pro
I once played a match and did not score a point for 9 darts. I hit the 60 wire all 9 darts. That sort of finished me. not thrown a dart for 30 years now.
The wires on modern boards means the chance of doing that again is lotto odds get a board and some darts Start off in the DD way and you will be in love with the game in no time. D Dave...

This is what I’ve always done, aim at the flight with my second and third darts. Great tip Davie hopefully more will learn from this
When you consider this video was filmed about 7 years ago its stood the test of time i was gobsmacked at how relevant it still is.
Great tip paused half way through video to try 100% works definitely subbed keep the tips coming 👍

Brilliant tip.played for years
Never heard this.always just stayed cool and throw the same again.
Here's my small contribution. I always use a light colored flight, dark flights don't stand out against a black backdrop. Gives me something better to aim at.
Couldn’t be more right I went from black flights to bright red and it changed my game a lot easier
For me this works. Notice that i struggle with dark flights, but white flights work great for me to aim. I'm going to give neon flights a go and see how they work.
I do this I used semi transparent flights.
Agree, I use those silver beehive flught protectors for exact same reason. Eyes goes there without thinking.
Never looked at it like this. Gonna give it a go and see 👍
I agree with this 10000 percent. Especially if you’re using condor axe flights. It’s magic how it deflects onto a tight grouping everytime
Will never use standard again

What stems and flights are these please.
Harrows clic
What length are these gonna purchase as my darts land like yours want too match my darts too yours.
Using the Gerwyn Price darts,my choice too
Yep i have to say i do like the Price darts i used them for about three months and had loads of very good averages they fly great and are very balanced to.
What do you do if you hit the 1 or 5 with the 1st dart surly you dont want to aim for the flight then?
If your practicing you should but common sense should tell you not in a match however if you hit the 60 or close dam right you should. 😉
Any recommendations for good shafts? so i dont go break them all the time
Hi Buddy how are you breaking them bounce outs or robin hoods. if its bounce outs your looking for a tough shaft like carbon.
