Target and darts for darts
Instructions
Step 1
Stand half-turned with your right side to the target. Legs should be straight, about shoulder-width apart. The supporting leg in front, touches the throw line with the little finger, the left leg in the back, rests on the floor only with the toe.
Step 2
In order not to step over the line, place a tall box or chair in front of you while you practice the correct preparation for the throw.
Step 3
The position of the body must provide maximum support during the throw. Keep it just slightly tilted forward.
Step 4
Choose darts that are comfortable for you to hold in your hand. There are a huge number of models and it is very important to find the right dart for you. Place the dart on the ball of your thumb and find a point where it will maintain balance. This is the middle of the shaft. When performing the throw, the middle lies on the thumb of the hand, and the index and middle fingers press it on top.
Step 5
The grip should be firm, but not tense. Over-tensioning the fingers will automatically tense other muscles in the forearm and shoulder, and the throw will come out blurred.
Step 6
Aim with the dart in front of you. While aiming, look at the point where you want to get. Align the tip of the needle with the aiming point. You can hold the needle slightly higher, but never point it at the floor.
Step 7
At first, spend all your strength trying to learn how to accurately throw. Practice the bull's-eye throw. You will master all the blows in the lower or upper sectors later, when the main throw, the correct grip and the stance are brought to automaticity.
Step 8
When throwing to the side sectors, do not aim to throw the dart diagonally. It is much easier to move along the line of throw and make the usual straight throw.
Step 9
Raise your right arm and bend slightly at the elbow. Do not raise your elbow too high, the dart should be at the level of your eyes. The shoulder, forearm and hand should be in the same plane.
Step 10
When making a throw, the hand lags slightly behind the movement of the forearm, but then with a sharp bend it completes the entire throw and gives the dart maximum acceleration.
Step 11
Do not lean back during the throw. Keep the body motionless, only the forearm and hand move.
