    It’s like you are talking directly to me! Similar background, similar starting point, similar current point. I also contacted Daniel and had the exact same lesson and exact came comments on my throw. SCARY.
    I couldn’t believe the lack of info out there as well. I couldn’t get my elbow to stop turning so I now draw back to side of head. It’s going well so far. More the dynamite Dave method.

    Excellent video! Daniel is a great teacher and here, with the slower speed and matching critique, it's even easier to see what he's talking about and analyze your own flaws. I asked him about the problems I am having on another video and he told me what he thought I was doing wrong. It might not be my only problem but he was spot on with something I am doing wrong. This video definitely will help me a lot! I will go back to his videos and rewatch many. I will also watch yours, your journey will help others with theirs. Thank you!

    @dartsmatt great video. I’m basically in the same boat as you. Been a golfer since 9 years old. Lowest handicap was 1.7.
    7 holes in ones. A few good tournaments. And now with kids and work I don’t golf anymore. Picked up darts again and I’m all in. Have the board in the man cave. iPad on the wall. Cameras set up. Huge Green screen for backgrounds etc. completely addicted and a determined to get better. I absolutely suck right now. Afraid to check my average but it can’t be better than 40. My form feels good. My results are brutal. Looking forward to getting better.

    • @Darts_Matt
      @Darts_Matt  11 месяцев назад

      Mate, literally the same boat. Thanks for the message. It's odd isn't it, I really thought after a year, I would be much better than I am! Like you, the golf mentally transitions really nicely but technically it hasn't been the case!

    I had an online session with Daniel last week and i can only recommend it to everyone who's looking to improve 🎯🎯
    My recommendation from him were mostly the same as yours except i have some work to do on the allignement of my elbow.
    But after hitting round 60-65 avg before the summer, i completly lost it tht to an injured shoulder and build it back to 55 now. Daniel's session was realy helpfull to help me build now on a better dartsfuture 🎯🎯
    Good luck on your journey and throw them ;-)

    Good insight given for sure. You will go nuts while trying to find consistency. As you practice at some point your competitive nature will come out. Play double in double out 301. Two scores. One score go in with double top. The other turn go in with double 16. Get in plan your leave take it out. Every dart matters. You will gain confidence quickly and finishing is the trick to increase dart average. Cheers!

    Very interesting vid. I’ve got ability but not one of the naturals that can pick up a sport and have a wonderfully smooth action straight away. You don’t want to over think darts but when you’re not performing in matches the way you think you should, it’s probably down to a faulty technique that comes apart under pressure. Some really helpful points to learn from 👍

    let me help with putting something in to words that isn't done often.... dart Rhythm has everything to do with breathing. We all know that you want to keep your body 100% still while throwing. we also know that when we breath our shoulders raise and lower. If we take some basic hunting knowledge, that when you pull the trigger you want to breath out not in. If you breath in you lift the gun... Same with a dart... What your looking for with rhythm is how fast you breath. If you watch the pdc players you will see most of them emphasize their exhale. They probably do this to make sure they are throwing on rhythm.

    • @Darts_Matt
      @Darts_Matt  10 месяцев назад

      Rick, this is some great advice and only something I noticed recently on a Target Darts vid on Twitter with Glen Durant. But when you're my level it's the last thing in your mind. You think of rhythm as just speed when actually as you point out, more to it to set yourself to achieve good rhythm. Thank you for this, and watching my video! If you ever fancy a game sometime on Nakka, please hit me up!

Slow pull back and faster forward and follow through making sure I do follow through. That is all. Forget everything else. My average doing this went up from 45 to 60 and getting better. I have bad days but I remember to stop thinking and decelerate, accelerate and follow through. Works every time

      Well I started in a local league June time won some lost some, had a few pre game nerves to get over and in the local league only lost 2 games this season, hoping to keep up the practice and go straight to Qschool in 2025, everyone’s journey I guess is different but most important thing is to be enjoying it or else there’s not much point
