Is it better to throw darts with an arc, or just a straight line?
Good Question. The motion of the dart is determined by the mechanics of the player. Of course, it is impossible to actually throw a dart in a straight line, though the harder you throw, the flatter the arc will be. The speed of the dart when released is different for everyone. The size of the flight will also be a determining factor as will the weight of the dart. A standard flight will produce more drag, a slim flight less. A lighter dart must be thrown harder (faster) to penetrate the board. It’s really a matter of personal preference and what gets better accuracy for you.
