The basic to improve your darts skills

It is important to start from the basic to improve our skills. Nothing we can do to make it better when there is something wrong in our basic. That applies to any other sports too.

So let's start to improve!

1. Stands right
    You should maintain a steady stance and sure to not lean over the line. Here is where
    most of the people think it is right to lean over the line. Well it might sounds like it would
    make sense to lean over the line a bit to get closer to the dartboard but this will actually
    destabilize your balance. Distribute your weight evenly between both of your feet. You can
    put one foot forward, but don't lean on it more than on your other foot.

People who have played darts for years, and who often put all their weight on one foot during their stance, complain of pain in their feet and legs. Keeping your legs firm and the rest of your body relaxed will prevent this problem.


2. Hold right
    Holding the darts correctly is also one of the important point to improve your skills. Hold
    the darts straight horizontally. Use only 3 fingers to grip the darts. Grip the darts firmly
    enough to keep it steady but not too tight.

Before you hold the darts, try to find the middle point of your darts. Different type of darts has different middle point. The middle point is where you should put your finger at, for a better grip and for the power when throwing will be balance.
             How to:
             1. Put the darts horizontally on your pointer finger (forefinger)
                 (Picture will be uploaded soon)
             2. Try to balance the darts.
             3. If the darts moving upward and downward, move it a bit front or a little bit back
                 until it stop moving and become stable.
             4. Once you have found the middle point of the darts, then you should hold the darts
                 at the point.

3. Aiming
    Aim at the dartboard. Don't look at your darts as you are throwing.

4. Throwing
     When throwing the darts, release your hand and fingers all at once then follow through
     with your arm towards the board after letting go of the darts.

It is not necessary to throw the darts hard. Even a light throw, if aimed and followed through correctly will reach the dartboard and stick.
Also, avoid spinning the darts as you release it. This usually occurs if your finger are wrapped over the darts, causing the darts to roll off your fingers and spin
              towards the board.

Practice make perfect!
