With Dartalyzer™ you can optimize your motion sequences during darts. TRAFFIC LIGHT SYSTEM With Dartalyzer, you get direct feedback on the throw with a traffic light system during training and can thus improve the throwing style. The following training types can be executed: - Throw constancy (throw strength) - Arm angle - Vertical acceleration (stand stability) - Movement extent - Mediolateral acceleration (lateral acceleration of the throwing motion) - Upper arm stability - Shoulder stability TRAINING OVERVIEW All training results are shown in an overview table. The average values and standard deviation are displayed for each training type. In addition, the average times between the first and second throw and between the second and third throw are calculated. GRAPHICAL VIEW In the graphical view, the acceleration values and the angles can be displayed in an X-Y diagram. Several throws can be displayed on top of each other so that differences between the individual throws can be quickly recognised. Currently three types of diagrams are supported: - Lateral deviation - Forearm angle - Upper arm angle (and optionally the angle of the forearm) In the basic version, a maximum of 3 throws can be displayed simultaneously and overlapping. In the premium version, 10, 20 or all throws of a training can be displayed simultaneously. GRAPHICAL VIEW OF COMPLETED TRAININGS (Premium version required) For the trainings recorded since V1.3, the acceleration values or the angles can be subsequently displayed in an X-Y diagram. The smallest and the largest angle at the beginning of the forward movement and the follow-through movement are displayed. 5D DARTSCREEN (Premium Version required) Visualize and improve the different parameters which are decisive for an optimal throw according to the 5D-Dartscreen: - Throw constancy (throw strength) - Vertical acceleration (stand stability) - Movement extent - Mediolateral acceleration (lateral acceleration of the throwing motion) - Upper arm stability TRAINING PROGRESS (Premium Version required) Compare the average values per training type of the current month with the values of the previous month. BACKGROUND Let Dartalyzer run in the background and analyze the individual rolls of an entire game afterwards. IMPORTANT NOTES 1) Dartalyzer requires either an Apple Watch or at least one MetaMotionR accelerometer from mbientLabs. These can be obtained from www.mbientlab.com. 2) So that the Apple Watch can read the acceleration data even when the screen is not active, the training is started via the Health Kit. The Dartalyzer App neither reads information from the Health Kit nor sends Health Kit data to the Dartaylzer server. 3) Dartalyzer is based on the method "5D-Dartscreen" from the book "Darts-Sport" by Harald Jansenberger from Hofman-Verlag. 4) Some features are only available in the premium version. This premium version can be activated via paid subscriptions. For further information please consult the terms of service at https://dartalyzer.com/terms-of-service/.

ThrowKit

ThrowKit uses your Apple Watch to measure how repeatable your throwing motion is. Wear the Watch on your throwing arm, start a session and throw the way you always do. The Watch detects your throws and shows your darts and visits as you go. Afterward, your iPhone analyzes the motion. The main number is your consistency score, from 0 to 100. It tells you how repeatable your motion was — not how well you threw, and not where your darts landed. ON YOUR IPHONE • Consistency for every session, compared with your baseline once you have enough sessions • Five measures on their own: wrist speed, drive length, drive effort, follow-through and rhythm — for every throw, with or without a wind-up. • Throw signature: every throw of a session laid over the others • Rhythm: the seconds between your darts • Tonight: the measure that was least repeatable in your recent sessions, with a drill to try • Every session, week by week GUIDED DRILLS ON YOUR WATCH Around the Clock, Thirty at one target and the Hundred-dart set run right on your Watch. It shows you the target, and you tap Hit when your dart is in. In Around the Clock, each hit moves you on to the next number. Your iPhone then shows how many darts the run took. ALSO • Set up for your left or right wrist • Light or dark appearance, or follow your iPhone • Export sessions as CSV or JSON • Save sessions to Apple Health as workouts (ThrowKit Pro) • Record your heart rate during a session and see it afterwards on your iPhone (ThrowKit Pro) PRIVATE Your recordings stay on your Apple Watch and iPhone. Nothing leaves your devices unless you export it. No account, no ads, no analytics. ThrowKit requires an Apple Watch, worn on your throwing arm while you throw.
