The Release & Follow-Through
Release the dart when your forearm is fully extended forward, at the highest point of the throwing action. Your fingers open together, smoothly, so as not to deflect the tip.
Continue the movement after release — that's the follow-through. Your arm extends towards the target and, at the end of the action, your index finger naturally points at where you aimed.
Never cut your throw short. A throw that's braked mid-flight loses both accuracy and consistency.
Tip · At the end of your throw, your hand should "salute" the target with your fingers pointing at it. That's the hallmark of a good follow-through.
