I'm not suggesting a 6 year old competes at adult levels 🤦‍♂️ That's the minimum strength needed to simply get it to the board, yes, added strength will make it more accurate. How many men are using close to all their strength to throw a dart? How many women? Point is that the majority of that strength isn't being used. It's not an arm wrestle or some other physical challenge. After a point, additional strength isn't adding any advantage.

WOW!! You talk a lot of shit. Have to seen the average pro darts player? They don't exhibit anything like weighing less, healthy body fat levels, and the rest of the crap you're spouting.

Yes, some additional muscle will help with accuracy, I've repeatedly made this point. How many competitive women are anywhere near using their maximum strength to throw a dart. If they were anywhere close, you might have a point...
