    A deep look into the the throwing action of the 5 times world champion and darts legend Eric Bristow also known as "The crafty cockney."
    Eric wan the BDO Embassy darts world champion ship in 1980, 1981, 1984, 1985 & 1986.
    He was the first player to win back to back world titles and the first to win a darts world championship in two different venues in Lakeside and Jolly's.

    All my video's are based on how to play darts as well as advise on equipment and general darts setup with the aim to guide any new players in their darting journey as well as provide more experienced or even professional dart players with dart content to help improve.
    I throw around an 80 average myself with my left hand due to in injury and dartitis in my right arm.

    Eric's grip and throw were so elegant. Everything about him: those gleaming 'gimlet' eyes, the Roman nose, his Cockney chirp and utter dismissal of opposition and criticism, made him one of the most charismatic and controversial sportsmen of all time. I adored Brissy. God bless him.

    Eric was a top notch player who put the winning mindset on the darting map.
    RIP Eric.

    I loved Eric. Showed how great he really was to get into the 1989, 1990 and 1991 Finals when the Dartitis really badly affected his darting abilities. RIP Eric 'Crafty Cockney' Bristow.

    He is in the top 3 for what he did for the game there wouldn't be a pdc circuit without him and he was a household name in the 80s which put darts on the map he's a legend of the game and I miss him on sky

    I modelled my throw on Eric's as a teenager, as I thought it looked the most solid and didn't 'drop down' like John Lowe, but it took me a couple of sets to get close to it. Eric did more for the profile of darts than any other player and that should never be forgotten.

    He stood to the right of the oche as his mum put a dresser in the way on the left 😂 That’s what he said at an exhibition in Diss, Suffolk in 1980 just after he became world champion 👍

    Another brilliant video on throw analysis. Can we see more female darters please? I've noticed some of them have a very different throw. Maybe Beau Greaves as she recently won a major ladies tournament or Lisa Ashton? To be honest there's lots of good female players to pick from 😅. Keep up the good work Daniel 👍🏼🎯

    Ah ,"The Crafty Cockney". As you know in all sports, every now & again someone comes along that is Extra Special. With their natural ability & training they surpass everyone else by a considerable margin. Mr.Bristow fits that category. He elevated the "pub" game in to a sport. His apprentice Phil Taylor then took darts to a different level. Then when everyone else figured out those little things, Phil Taylor's "Fear Factor" was gone. The other players averages started creeping up & up , now look where we are ......with a multitude of fantastic darts player's. Yes Eric Bristow should be recognised as the man who changed darts, for the better, a darts legend. Good vid, cheers , 👍🎯🎯🎯👍

      The thing about Phil is he didn't just do it in spurts, he did it for three decades at a nearly unsurpassable level.
