Dart Throwing Strategy

Darts is a throwing game in which two or more people take turns throwing a set of three darts at a circular board. There are many different dart games such as cricket, 501 darts and Shanghai. Although the rules are different for each game, players should develop a basic throwing strategy to become a better player and avoid injuries.

Stance
Line up with the dart throwing line on the floor. Draw an imaginary line from the bulls-eye to the throwing line and place your front foot at that point. It may be helpful to associate that point with a scuff mark or stain on the floor. Stand either sideways with your arm out or face the board directly. Facing the board is generally more comfortable but facing sideways helps to eliminate moving your arm from side to side. Try both positions to see which is more comfortable.

Grip
Everyone holds a dart differently, so do what feels comfortable. Don't hold the dart too loosely or too tightly; your grip should be relaxed but firm. Use at least three fingers to hold the dart. Keep your unused fingers open rather than curled into your palm. Check that the tip is pointing slightly upward before you throw.

Aiming
Envision a line from your dominant eye through the dart and to the target. If you are not sure which eye is dominant, throw two or four darts with each eye closed. The eye you have trouble keeping closed during the throw is your dominant eye. Keep your focus on the target, not the dart.

Follow Through
When the dart leaves your hand, keep your arm in the same position as when the dart left. This is known as following through. Many players let their arm fall down before the dart is completely gone. This will affect where the dart lands. Keep your arm in a straight, slightly upward position for a moment after the dart is gone.
