What has the elbow got to do with the !"drift" hook or slice?
Is this from someones darts advce?

Well if ya elbow not pointed toward ya target it does make it difficult to follow through on a straight line toward the target.

George Silberzahn I suppose.

And several others who believe that a proper follow through is best obtained from keeping your arm in line with the intended destination. Personal preference is all and something that doesn't hurt giving a go to see if it helps or not. Not dart form law just suggestion of something to try

Don't be so paranoid Bo. Saber has been one of your most fair defenders on here. Also, I don't know why you would take a bit of a dismissive swipe at George. He has spend many years and given a lot of his time and energy to helping others enjoy darts and play better. Whether you agree with his advice and methods or not, he has been successful at improving the skill of many people. He's put his money where his mouth is. By your own admission you, as of yet, have not. You've seemed rather grumpy in your postings lately. Has your holiday in the bush not been going well?

Here is an issue that we (George & I) diverge. George is I believe teaching a parabolic arc action I am teaching advocating the true delivery (linear) George teaches the more accepted form of throwing a dart (there is nothing wrong with this he has my utmost respect). However nobody has won a major title using this technique since the late great Tommy Barrett, maybe the sole exception could be the Embassy Victory of Keith Dellar. (I'm undecided) I teach the linear action, I believe a far better approach and the true descendant of the darts origin. On occasions they look the same but the difference are a complete reversal. I appreciate your remarks, keeps me in check.
