There are only about a million different ways you can throw a dart, which makes getting started as a newbie a little difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some people have \u201ctried and true\u201d squared up mechanics that deliver darts on target almost robotically. Others put a little more English into it, flicking darts and still draining bull\u2019s-eyes left and right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the age-old question about throwing darts \u2013 especially as someone starting out \u2013 is should you spin a dart when you throw it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are two camps of thought when it comes to throwing darts with spin. Some pro dart players feel you should spin your darts, but most agree that it\u2019s better (especially for new players) to cut down on spin as much as they can.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Professionals like Phil Taylor (a legend in darts) spins all of his dart throws. He feels you get more accuracy, more consistency, and a better release when you do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Michael van Gerwen (current number one dart player in the world) tries to eliminate spin as much as possible from his throws. He feels spinning the darts makes it harder to \u201cfeel\u201d where it\u2019s going and causes accuracy problems. He also doesn\u2019t like the flight pattern of spinning darts or how even a couple of extra (or fewer) rotations can move the dart so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
