He has a great rhythm but what spoils it with him in my view is the lazy last throw away dart he does when all isn’t going his way.

Wright is very smooth and nowadays looks ascertained.
White's throw hasn't changed much over the years. It's the best example throw for anyone who wants to learn darts: set, aim, retract and release.
Cullen in my eyes has a very unique technique which works like it should.

Chizzy was great to watch. Now it's too uncontrollable.
Jackpot had a very smooth and enjoyable-to-watch throw. It doesn't look smooth at all anymore.
And anyone who sticks their tongue out when they play can fuck off.

I hope there will be a worst action thread in the interest of fairness and post count.
They're all here!
