Dart Manipulation Explained // The What, Why, and How of DARTS

I get a lot of questions about darts, so today I've got a deep dive into the topic trying to answer as many quandaries as I can! Why darts? Can I move them? Where do I put them? Can I take one away? Can I add a dart? Does moving the darts effect the fit? Do I have to have darts? Hopefully all will be revealed in this (rather long) video all about dart manipulation!
