The dart: The real object of desire is at last here. Remember to guide the dart along the parabolic curve. Keep your attention on the following things:

• The dart is pointed up in the aiming position.
• This angle is increased in the backward movement, and it then decrease steadily in the
• acceleration part.
• When the dart is released it is virtually horizontal, but there is still a bit of an angle.
• In all circumstances a dart that points down in ANY of the throwing phases is bad. Bad, bad, BAD! So try not to do it.

Wobble: Almost every beginner's dart wobbles considerably, while pro's and experts' darts hardly ever wobble. Wobbling can have the following reasons:

• The dart is accelerated in a curve that's rather anything else than parabolic.
• The dart's flight-shaft system does not meet the aerodynamic requirements. Use standard form flights and middle length shafts for first-time trouble shooting and go from there - see chapter 2 'Darts Tuning'.
• Somewhere in your throw there is a noticeable 'twitch' of the arm.
• Most probable: the dart points downwards somewhere in your throw.
• Highly unlikely: The dart points upwards too much.
