The commentator said he had the cue ball on a string, which is cheating imo.

Didn’t see it but glad for him. He fecked it up the other day after getting fifteen reds and blacks then snookering himself behind the blue. Said after the game a 147 break was a target he was aiming for. Well done that man.

Been discussed before but order of difficulty imo.
147 break Nine darter. Hole in one. |

why do snooker fans pay 100 quid for a tkt to get a worse view than everyone watching at home and pay for an earpiece so they can listen to idiots like Taylor babbling away ?. at least there's an atmosphere at the darts you cant even let one rip at the snooker

You could say the same for most sporting events. Racegoers pay to stand in a field watching television. Formula 1 fans see the cars for a few seconds each lap.
You pay to be part of the event. |

147 has happened too many times now be much of an attraction or even achievement for me anyway , if i knew a player was on for a 147 i wouldn't switch channels but knowing a result depended on the pink & black i'd head for Eurosport.
Each to their own i suppose  |

9 darter for me, the 147 you can mishit 14 shots and still get a pot to keep you going, give yourself 2 or 3 options on reds and no comparison to knocking last black in compared to the double and you could also miss half dozen shots in theory before you even pot a red

147 break
Nine darter. Hole in one. I've only managed one of the above. ive also only achieved one of the above, but did it 3 times  |

By:
28 handicappers can achieve a hole in one.
a very good pub player could achieve a 9 darter. only a pro or top ranked amateur could achieve a 147. |
|
By:
Substitute a 59 for hole in one.
Now you're talking. |

good point about a 28 handicapper getting a hole in one.never thought of that before,the reason I always go for the 9 darter is evenif you get down to the last double your odds against hitting it as compared to a black 99.99999% of time in a 147 of its spot
|
|
By:
Believe it was estimated a four thousand to 1 chance for a pro to hit a hole in 1 and a forty thousand to 1 for a amatuer. Not sure what standard of amatuer this was calculated with though.

By:
There are people that have trouble walking and chewing gum at the same time, that have achieved a hole-in-one.
You can't just get lucky once - and achieve a 147 break or a 9-dart finish. |
|
By:
I'd say be a load people downed 2 of those, but none 3.
|
|
By:
exactly , I'm sure a lot of pro darts players have played crazy golf, which is where I achieved my feat.
|
|
By:
I'd say the 147 is also the most mentally demanding in terms of the pressure and level of concentration required.
|
|
By:
hole in one is 1 shot.A 28 handicapper has a chance from 150 yards even if using a 3 wood.
9 darter is a 9 leg accumulator. Say Littler hits the required treble or double 50% of the time, its 511/1 each time he steps up to the oche. 147 is a 36 leg accumulator. Not only do have to pot the right ball, you have get position with the cue ball for the next pot. |
|
By:
As T.M. has already mentioned, literally anyone can get a hole in one.
I'm proof of that. |
|
By:
you don't, you can put the ball in the wrong position a dozen times and a good pot can get you out of trouble,with lots of reds still on the table you can put cue ball in an area leaving you choice of 2,3,4 reds,either by design or by default
|
|
By:
and you can miss 6 shots at a red before its even started and the other player can split open all the reds for you, 9 darter you've got to be perfect from 1st dart

Murphy on record saying he thinks he’s the only person ever to have achieved all three

Murphy on record saying he thinks he’s the only person ever to have achieved all three have you seen him play darts?! |
|
By:
Never heard that claim before. There seems to be a bit of doubt from people who’ve seen him throw a dart.
Apparently Gerwyn Price recently hit a 147 to go with his numerous nine darters. If I were him I’d get a thousand golf balls lined up at a par three one day! |

Darts players are trying to throw 9-darters.
Golfers are not trying for holes-in-one but might get lucky as they fire the ball into the general area. Snooker is more interesting in that there has been a change in style of play. In the 70s and 80s, players would reach for safety and a snooker at the first sign of trouble. Nowadays, there have been so many 147s that top players know it is possible and can be worth taking a risk for. |

How the fck can anyone think getting a 9 dart finish is as good as getting a 147? Hilarious scenes...

Although both are difficult Barry Hearn has made sure they are much easier these days.The reds split so much easier on these super fast cloths and have a look on Youtube in the Bristow era ,I swear the trebles were smaller , wires thicker.
147 more difficult for me , balls are never in the same position.Darts is identical every time , unless there is a breeze in the arena. |
