Your hand position at set-up, my friend, is where your throwing hand and the dart are placed before you even start your backswing. This consistent starting point is super important for repeatability – it's the launchpad for your whole throwing arc.
Some players like to set up with the dart near their eye, others near their chin, and some lower, closer to their chest. There's no single "right" place, but finding your comfortable and consistent starting point is key. Make sure you return to that exact same set-up position for every single dart. This helps minimize variations in your backswing and lets your muscle memory take over more effectively. A precise and consistent hand position at set-up gives you a predictable start for your throw, which really helps your overall accuracy and rhythm.
