i cant even throw 1 dart now and its so ANNOYING!!!!! iv had problems with my release 4 7 months and it has completely messed up my game. The guy in charge of my team has managed colin lloyd and helped out wayne mardle when they were younger ,and he insists its not dartitis. Firstly i couldnt release the darts but when i did my throw was ok. Shortly after i was back 2 myself again 4 about 2 weeks playing superb and then it went again.Then a couple of months l8a i couldnt release them or even stand still . My bad balance cost me a place in the BTO earlier in the year as i just could not stand still . This carried on for at least 6 months until last month i could finally stand still but just couldnt release my darts. When i do release my darts now my throw is terrible and i keep dropping them down the board and even in2 the wall. Sometimes now i try 2 throw it but my wrist only flicks forward slightly and nothing else. Im so dissapointed just now i stood at the board and couldnt even throw 1 dart , i was standing there 4 about 5 mins . Im even 2 scared 2 throw at the board now , and am even getting nervous in practice.I played dennis priestlty like it and it was just so embarrasing. Im afraid il even have 2 give up my spot in blk blks darts league ,which i realy dont want to. Im realy gutted 2 coz theres a big youth tournament in 3 weeks time today that iv been training myself 4 all year working so hard 4 it. PLEASE GUYS IM IN DESPERATE NEED OF HELP BECAUSE ITS JUST NOT GETTING ANY BETTER N I KNOW IM A DECENT PLAYER,SO PLEASE GIVE ME SOME ADVICE OR HELP
cheers al

sounds like you have a lot of problems with your throw but its always hard to offer advice or tell you what you are doing wrong without seeing you throw but I picked up on a couple of things in what you have said in the problems you are having.
Firstly your stance, if you are having trouble being comfortable in your stance then obviously your stance is wrong for you, most important thing with a players stance is that they feel comfortable and balance is not an issue when throwing a dart.
Secondly you mentioned that your wrist is flicking forward when your throwing a dart, from what you have described and im only guessing at this, you have a very short arm movement from holding the dart and releasing it, almost like Bob Andersons throw except your not following right the way throuigh, your arm and hand are stopping when you release the dart, if this is the case then you need to get your arm working fully, try things to get more momentum and movement in your arm, its like throwing a brick through someones window, your arm dont stop half way through.
Try watching a couple of videos on you tube of players throwing, this may give you some help or idea of what your doing wrong.

had simliar problems to you a month ago. you need to go back to the basics of playing darts, 1st find a comfortable stance like dave said and then just throw at the board, no aim just follow through then try to group the darts wherever the 1st lands, doesnt matter where on the board. once you can throw and group the darts again then try to play a 501 game. i did this and it has started to sort out the problems i had

stop thinking your mardle or lloyd. get your own throw and be comfortable with it. its in your head about this guy doing mardle and lloyd you are your own person with your own throw,line up and throw and stop worrying it will work out
