Is there a skill to darts?

A nine-dart finish , also known as a nine-darter, is a perfect leg or single game in the sport of darts. In a single game of darts, each player must score exactly 501 points with the final dart ending on a double or the bullseye, and the fewest possible number of darts to achieve this feat is nine.

Over the space of 10 best of 1 games of 501, I’ve been averaging around the 60-80 mark every game, it’s always the same story. Scoring great, but combination finishes and doubles in general would bring a 15/16 dart leg down to 23/24 and no matter if I practise doubles or not they just don’t seem to go!30 Kas 2017

Even with the same game setup, soft-tip darts usually have 25% higher averages than their steel-tip counterparts. If you can get an average of consistent 60 points comfortably, you’re likely considered a very good player . Master dart players usually average 80 points when they’re on a bad day.
