baw 4,360 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Right guys, I know there was a thread on this recently but I can't find it so I thought I'd start this one. I've recently took it up, started as a bet in the pub and now I'm hooked. I've went and got a winmau blade 4 board and some tungsten darts. I've been taking pointers from this website http://www.dartbase.com/technics.htm and getting stuff from this one http://www.reddragondarts.com Does anyone know of any other good sites? My biggest problems my grip, I just can't get the hang of it. I've developed my own grip lol which basically has me pinching the dart with thumb and finger and my index finger kind of just running the length of the dart. The problem is I move the dart in my fingers just before I release. Is it a problem to do that? I've tried the pencil grip etch but it doesn't feel comfortable, do I perceiver with that grip or just do the one I do? I'd rather know now before I get too comfortable with it.

baw 4,360 Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Im brilliant at darts, what do you need to know? ok, my grip, how important is it to progress? Am I best learning one of the basic grips or find my own? My grip, the dart tends to move in my hand and I'm basically gripping with only 2 fingers is that enough for accuracy?

albert64 1,882 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 :laugh:you want to carry a small bag of weight lifters chalk.... place it your pocket and then every time you throw a dart put your thumb and fore finger in it stops the dart sticking to your hand but don't spill any on your shoes folk will think your bollocks have dandruff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
