The key to great dart throwing is to distract your opponent.. , go up to the dart board and stab all 3 darts exactly where you want the on the board, and before your opponent turns back around, you pull you finger in and out 3 times so that it sounds like you threw all 3 darts in quick succession.

Tremendous,! John Lowe 9 dart. He changed the shafts on his darts in his later matches and was able to get more 180's even in that match with Phil Taylor. Pity he didn't use them earlier.

I was stationed at Bentwaters and I watched it on TV! He and Shorty Wilson were a couple of my favorite players back in the day!

Love how the referees and opponent congratulated him too.

The game is first to 0 points, you start with 501, hence the name "501 up". You throw 3 darts per round. Biggest triangle under the number is that amount of points, the rectangle on the outer edge is 2x points, the inner rectangle is 3x points. So hitting the 3x box under 20 is 60 points each dart, for 180 points down in 3 darts. He scored 360 points within 6 darts, then a triple 17, a triple 18 and a double 18 with his last 3 for 501 points in 9 total darts, which is the least amount of darts it takes to win a game of 501 up.

How disciplined the audience is to allow each player its concentration phase by being quiet in every time when the darts are thrown. During this time it was a question of respect to do so, definitely something that today's 'dart fans' have to learn again. And imagine they would do so: How many more 9-darters would we maybe see on stage, if the stars don't get distracted any more?

These older videos from the 80s are so much more enjoyable to watch because the crowd actually shuts up when the competitors are throwing the darts instead of cheering like wild animals the whole time.

I loved the little gesture after dart eight by Keith Deller to the crowd asking them not to make any noise.

He was the perfect player back then, playing with large barrelled darts on smaller treble dart boards, wire thickness, staples and prone to many bounce outs.

That can’t be how darts are played. Nobody is bleeding or screaming like when I play.
