Many people are wondering how to throw darts in the right way. Fortunately, several resources are out there that could help them solve that problem. However, learning how to throw darts does not necessarily depends on merely listening to the possible suggestions and instructions. The best way to learn how to throw darts is none other than playing the game, but having an excellent guide from the beginning is a very good thing.
Now, here are the dos and don’ts of a dart throw.
On Joints and Levers
The shoulder: In learning how to throw darts, one should note first that the shoulder is the only point in the whole process that does not change its position. Therefore, in order to get a good hit, you must not move your body when throwing. Obviously, that’s the first DON’T. Now where does the throwing action come from? The answer is your “arm”.
The elbow: In aiming the dart, the elbow should stay in position especially when moving the dart forward. This is also helpful on some point in the acceleration phase starts to go up. Well, this is no doubt a very interesting thing. As you may have known, it is the elbow that would force you to release the dart earlier. Also, in learning how to throw darts, one should carefully note that the elbow must be raised in the later phase of throwing, but the hand still follows the way of the dart after releasing it. According to some experts, this will make the release easier for the fact that we don’t have to find a completely accurate release point any more.
The wrist: Usually, in most of the discussions regarding ways on how to throw darts, the wrist action is often the subject matter. Well, for some people, there is not much of it, but for most pro players a consideration on the wrist action is very vital in learning how to throw darts. The primary reason behind this is basically the claim that the wrist action helps in the acceleration. If you do wrist snap, the tip of the dart will accelerate faster, enabling you to move the other parts of the lever system slower. So, in learning how to throw darts, you must put less force in your throw to improve accuracy. However, there is one risk in wrist snap, that is, it is one more thing that must be controlled and so one more source for errors. Control it if you can!
Object of Desire
The dart: If you want to learn how to throw darts, you must keep in mind that the main object of desire in this game is the dart. Since it is often suggested that the dart should move in a parabolic curve, then make it happen. Note that in the geometric language of how to throw darts, the dart must always be in line with the throwing parable’s tangent in the angle of intersection of your hand and the parable. In learning how to throw darts, you should note that the dart points up in the aiming position which must be increased in the backward movement and decreases steadily in the acceleration part. Just note that a dart that points down in any of the throwing phases is very bad. That’s another DON’T!
