Surfing I just saw this pic:
I don't know who is holding that dart, but I copied it from some website somewhere that was talking about the Lakeside competition. I would hope that it is a current photo of some professional dart player who is actually in these competitions but the cynic in me says it is a stock photo and is probably not someone famous at all. Just a random hand.
Anyway, what is neat is that this is an exact copy of my grip. That person is holding their dart the same way I hold mine, middle finger barely touching the point, pinky sticking out a bit to the side, everything. So at least now I feel validated. If some pro out there is using my grip then it cannot be all that bad, right?

LOL. You're right, I recognize it now! Wait a minute... you're pulling my leg. The hand in the picture has a thick british accent..
But, I say, so does your leg.

Hmmmm....
Hands.... Legs..... accents.....
Be afraid, be very afraid!
could it be from Jelle klaasen
Looks a bit like darts legend Eric Bristow's grip
Well, as to it beinng Jelle, I don't think so. During the Lakeside comp I scoured the dart sites for news of the results and in one place I saw Jelle throwing darts with Pear shaped flights. So I do not think that is him...
I'll go a google image search for Bristow and see if any of his darts are similar in appearance...
