VIDEO: Ryan Searle goes into detail on his action and throwing 32-gram darts
PDC
Ryan Searle is an exception on the PDC Pro Tour. Where most players throw arrows of between 22 and 24 grams, the 37-year-old Englishman chooses to use 32-gram darts. In his own words, the world number nineteen feels most comfortable with it.
In a new video from PDC Europe, Searle explains the intricacies of his throwing style. "I like to stand over to the right of the oche, toe pointed," begins 'Heavy Metal'. "I don't really think you can teach someone how to play darts. As far as teaching someone how to throw and hold the dart, I don't think you can. I think the first time you throw, how you hold it and how you stand is the most comfortable you'll feel."
As mentioned, Searle throws 32-gram darts, the heaviest of any player in the PDC. "It's just something that I've always felt comfortable with," he explains. "I've changed my points three times but I've not quite found what I'm comfortable with. I'm going through a spell where I seem to have a lot of darts falling onto the floor."

- Beau also skipped Players Championships 7 & 8 next week, and PC 3 & 4 four weeks ago. If she next chooses to miss the Women's Series and PC 13 & 14 in mid-April then we can make a fair guess as to her reason.Scoobedybop13-03-2025
- I've commented before,Phil should let us all remember how great he was,and leave your darts in the drawer. Another humiliation will tarnish everything,you couldn't even beat old blokes who you would have beaten before the game started !!rick6712-03-2025

- Likewise, I have always been a fan of Mervyn and with this worry on his mind, it explains why his form and ranking plummeted. It is really sad to hear this, often chatted to Mervyn and Tracey during the Lakeside days, both are lovely people. It does seem naive not acknowledging the fact it was earnings, surely there must be others in the same situation. I really hope the Kings can get through this....would a go fund me be permittedrichieburnettrocks11-03-2025
- I always like Merv,but he does he seems slightly naive with his comments. I wish you all the best, hope you can get sorted,and try and get back to a decent game,a bit of money.....and get rid of the dogs,if that's your main concern,I believe your priorities may be slightly wrongrick6710-03-2025
- What’s with the dogs element to this story, trying to pull at the heart strings? Just goes to show that being a good dart player does not equate to being that bright. Seriously, ‘I thought you didn’t have to pay tax on winnings’ , your a pro dart player and its your line of work, your not playing the lottery or placing a bet. I think it was Phil Taylor who said you should put a third to one side of all winnings into a bank account, obviously Merv was wearing his earplugs at the time.Mysstree10-03-2025
- The thing is... the folks who "humiliated" Taylor in the Seniors Events never really achieved anything in the important events - like Taylor did. Taylor had/has nothing to prove... and beating Taylor after he had retired is of zero value. Taylor in his prime would have made easy work of all of them. Cheers.MrYnyslas197107-03-2025
- Taylor was humiliated in the seniors events,so he really has nothing to lose by playing littler. I think he should put his darts away,and let us remember what a great player he wasrick6706-03-2025
- actually, since you're asking... yes. yes i do.colt06-03-2025
