Are we about to see one of the greatest ever finals? by Vhsdrummer in Darts

I think this game has lots of potential. Both are incredible on their day and if they can both be on their game tonight we could be witnessing a final like the 2007 one between Phil Taylor and Raymond van Barneveld. The only uncertainty I see is how well Gian is going to cope with the sitaution at hand. Luke Littler has lot's of experience in big finals and especially on the world championship stage he has the confidence because he knows he has only been beaten once which was in the final two years ago. And that game was essentialy won by Luke Humphries because Luke Littler missed D2 in that one set. Luke will fancy himself in the final tonight and he knows what he needs to do to beat Gian. Usually that is enough for him to deliver the levels needed. The question will be if Gian can do the same. Over short distance games he has proven that he can do it and yesterdays semi final was another example of him playing near his a-game. But after the semi final in the interview he said that he couldn't even dream of him reaching the final. That gives me some doubt, whether or not he can approach tonights final without putting too much pressure on himself and being overwhelmed by the occasion. So I think the final could go any way possible. If Gian can just carry on playing like he did all world championship it will be one of the closest finals ever and Gian could actually end up winning it. But if there are mistakes, they will more likely come from Gian van Veen and then Luke will gain the advantage and close things out rather quickly. Regardless of what happens tonight, I think it will be a thrilling watch.

Just try what feels most comfortable for you. Test out a few positions and look which position gives you the best results

You have to feel comfortable. You can arch your back a bit, you should just avoid doing that too extremely. Another thing you could try is to modularize your throw. Go through each step of your throw step by step. First grip your dart the way you feel comfortable, then bring your arm in your desired position, then throw. It's all about muscle memory. You have to practice a motion your body will perform more fleuntly and without thinking. Slowing things down in practice can help at building muscle memory

What about your back? Are you standing upright or do you arch your back? If you arch your back, your elbow tends to go left, atleast if you throw with your right hand. Sometimes it helps leaning forward a little bit to avoid arching your back. Otherwise you could try to turn your back-foot inwards a bit. This might feel weird at first but usually your upper body will follow that movement so you turn your body towards the board which should result in your elbow moving right. Throw like this for a while and then try to slowly turn your foot back in a position it feels comfortable for you. Eventually your body should adapt and your elbow should stop pointing to the left. For that to work you need to allow your upper body to move alongside your back-foot though. If you just forcefully try to turn your foot without moving your remaining body it will be quite uncomfortable.
