The main thing is focusing on (concentrating on) the target. The rest is eye/hand coordination. If I try to concentrate on the dart, everything goes haywire. I am aware of the dart, where it is in relation to my eyes and I am aware of my lateral and vertical wrist angle, but if I don't really focus on the target I have even less chance of hitting it than I normally do anyway.<br />The problem I have with the thumb and two finger grip (I too started that way) is that the second finger can get involved in the release in a bad way. The dart should be thrust by the thumb and first finger, the second finger being a stabilizer. Some have it under the barrel or point, some on top, some on the side, but I feel the dart should be held basically by the thumb and first finger, which brings up the question, do you have your thumb opposite the first finger or between the two? Can you hold and even throw the dart with just the thumb and first finger?<br />If I grip the dart, I have trouble feeling how the dart balances in my fingers, and my darts do NOT fly straight the way I like because the second finger messes up the release. But with thumb and first finger opposed and second under, I feel the balance much more, and what I feel against the edge of my second finger (tip of barrel) helps me feel how I hold the dart. Also I get a much cleaner release as the second finger is not involved in any way and the darts fly straight. My 9FIVEs are easy to grip the same way all the time because of the scalloped out place for the thumb. Only for rear grippers I would think.<br />I have also found that slight changes in how far forward or how far back I grip the dart can affect the angle it lands in the board, and I can see how that could be a useful skill to have if you are really advanced.
