Roy Marchbank blocked me on instagram for correcting him on his claim that Troy is stealing his technique concepts

On one of Roy’s instagram posts he outright stated that Troy Grady’s reverse dart thrower concept was stolen from Roy Marchbank’s technique.

I corrected him by saying that reverse dart throwing technique is nothing like Marchbank’s forearm rotational approach. And I also told him that his forearm rotational technique isn’t revolutionary or some new original approach, his speed is just a product of his above-average forearm rotational fast twitch muscles.

So he immediately blocked me.

What do y’all think about this interaction?

Lol, Roy is such a fraud

Well I wouldn’t necessarily call him a fraud as it does seem like he can really play crazy fast guitar.

It’s just disappointing to see him feel the need to make such a ridiculous claim for attention or whatever - the dart throwing motion looks nothing like his approach.

Just find the thread from several years ago where the inconsistencies in his video and audio are called out

Oh really? Is he actually faking his playing?

That would be crazy work if he actually has been faking that speed.

Although there seems to be older live videos of him playing in group settings while still demonstrating that speed so now I’m curious about what the reality is.

He’s not faking his playing he can actually play that fast but he did mime along to some videos and pretended he was playing a few years ago, I believe Troy and some others challenged him on it in discussion in the forum.

I think his technique is RDT, I don’t think you can use forearm rotation quite that fast but I’ve also seen him claim his technique isn’t RDT, dismissing Troy entirely. I don’t think he understands that Dart Thrower and Reverse Dart Thrower are just terms created by researchers used to describe two ways in which the wrist can move super fast :slight_smile:
