Dennis Smith (born 2 August 1969) is a former English professional darts player who played in Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) events.[1] He was a stalwart on the PDC circuit, having played there since 1994,[1] but has yet to capture a major title to add to his collection of Open wins.[1] Smith has a very unusual throwing action, turning the dart into a 'flight first' position before returning it to a 'point first' position, rolling his eyes and then throwing.[2] He has a unique, measured action learning his trade under the tutelage of Bob Anderson.
