    Watching Anderson tonight and he has a lovely simple smooth throw.

    Who do you reckon has the best throwing style?

    Lowe, Barney and Beaton also have a great throwing action but for me the smoothest thrower is Ted Hankey.

    Beaton for me, Ian white is another one. Lewis when in full flow

    Agree with all those five.

    Adrian Lewis when he's on makes it look very smooth and easy as well.

    Beaton's for sheer consistency. MVG when he gets going is like a machine gun turret.

    Richie Burnett.

    Richie Burnett.

    Throws like he's having an epileptic fit :)

    Definitely one of the worst throwing actions out there

    Burnett and Chizzy both come to mind for giving the last dart more shoulder than a gaelic footballer.

    Barney for me. Looks so effortless

    Barney for me as well, poetry in motion. He was playing Mensur in the premier league a couple of weeks back and it was like watching two different sports.

    Completely forgot about Barney!! Definitely him, especially back in his BDO days when he threw alot faster

    Gino Vos would also be up there but I still think a prime Hankeys throw was smooth as velvet.

    Just goes to show throwing action isn't always everything :)
