In the mid to late 90's they used to have a slow motion camera that would follow the darts flight.
Sid Waddell used to love it, and compaired the Phil Taylor release and dart flight compaired to the Dennis Priestley and others.
This was when Taylor was starting to dominate and stacked the thin unicorn world champion phase 1 darts. Taylors darts used to go smoothly throw the air, in a low arc with only a slight wobble at the start.
But the Priestley darts used to wobble nearly all the way to the board in a big loop.

I would like to see this camera used again to see how some of the other players darts fly.
Would love to see the Barney, MVG and Lewis darts in flight.
Also think the Wes Newton dart would move all over the place, as he often has a few darts drop out of the board. Even though he have some target diamond points fitted which really grip the board.

not sure i will say i thought camera work has be pretty sloopy for this event maybe camera mans on his learner lol

I think I have still seen it used occassionally but not as much as before

I have never seen this before, is there any youtube footage that you know of?

I'd love to see more angles in general. I've had to scour youtube to find anything even close to a "different" angle on the throw.

For example:

2:00 in or so, you see an angle on RVB's throw that shows you it is COMPLETELY different than you would assume from the TV coverage.

I think the coverage is seriously lacking, and the flight camera (and many others they could add) would be wonderful supplements for those of us who love the game.

Yeah that was a good shot of Barneys throw, I would like to see an overhead view too, so you can see how straight on they are or not.
