He wasn't on form this year, I had almost forgotten how awesome a dart player he his. This brought back memories, he's the best there will ever be. Should have won Sports Personality of the Year a couple of years ago.
Great vid mate. Phil is just a wonderful wonderful sportsman. We are priviliged to see a legend in action. He won't be around forever but who knows what else he can achieve? 20 worlds? There are other greats like Lance Armstrong still around - we should cherish their talents and commitment to excellence.
Thanks, I'd forgotten his name. I remember him from darts in the 1980s, when Eric Bristow, Jocky Wilson, John Lowe, etc. were all still playing. Seems like a long time ago now...
The dart board is constructed with numbers from 1 to 20, each with a double and a treble segment. Those segments double or triple the score. The bullseye gives you 50 points, the green bit outside gives 25 points - so maximum points is treble 20 (60). The game they're playing is 501 where you want to reduce your score from 501 down to exactly 0 in as few darts as possible. The max with three darts is 180(T20x3), so 180 & 180 leaves 141. To leave a double he went T20, T19 to leave 24 (D12).
The first thing he did was check to see if his mate had put the bet on him to get the 9 darter. That's why he went to the side of the stage to ask. He's just won 100 grand & he's worried about the £250 off the bookies. The man is a LEGEND!!!
Taylor's was the first on live TV. John Lowe and even Paul Lim before him completed a 9 darter on TV but both were pre recorded. But that takes nothing away from both of these players.
for taylor to be as consistant as he is and to actually get a 9 dart finish on more then one occasion is an amazing thing, it takes not only years and years of dedicated practice but also a love for the game and complete mental controle. Please for the peopl who critiscise darts lets get real.. i apoligise for my spelling hahaha -Brian
John Lowe - 1st televised 9 darter Shaun Greatbatch - 1st televised live 9 darter Phil Taylor - 1st televised 9 darter on british televison (Shaun got his on dutch tv)
I play on a league locally and i'm noticing alot of good sportsmanship. To be honest I don't see a whole lot of it anymore, I was very surprised when I joined.
Phil is a legend and will be forever no matter what you pro darter wannabees say also his down to earth ready to help attitude to the new dart players also shows his gratitude to the up and coming players in the game
On Soccer AM, Taylor said he told this guy to put a tenner on him doin a 9-Darter at 16/1, and he said if u look u can see him go over and point at him and ask him, which you can.
phil taylor 13 times world champion.... despite that he can still be backed at 100/1 for sports personality of the year.... fuckin crazy, this man deserves a knighthood !
The bdo standard is way below the pdc these days but it didnt used to b. its just that more and more players have moved over to pdc from bdo. Gary Anderson, Mark Webster, Martin Adams. Barney, Phil Taylor and James Wade - look at the names and tell me which is the best.
@gazmon i dont think john lowes was live, im not quite sure mate, but john lowes yes was the first seen, but this might have been the first. Maybe Shaun Gretbatch's was first live one.
Shaun Greatbatch was the first dart player to do a live 9 darter on television, he achieved it in the dutch open final, taylor was the first on uk tv, john lowe's 9 darter was'nt live just like lim's was'nt.
pill 'the phower' taylor made...... legend.... another surge as he pwers his way through the nine darter... makes it look easy, the man is a genious and shoud be given knighthood and be considered for sports personality of the year 2008 and be made king of england... in fact britain... in fact no th whole world.. YES!! phil wil soon reign over his kingdom tht we all are!! muahahahahahaha
Throw D20 T20 T20 with your first three darts so you're down to 141. The T20 T19 D12 finish shown here will work with a six-dart finish in this situation.
hi im new to darts what is a good set of darts for under £20 and also is this a good deal? •Blade III bristle dartboard and a cabinet and 2 sets of brass darts for £39.99?

I love mason's reaction after phil finished the 9 darter

It makes me incredibly happy that they hugged after he finished!
They fucked after the match.

The greatest 9 darts ever thrown.
Phil "The Power" Taylor. No one does it better!! :)
yeh i was at the Echo Arena for the Premier League, it was absolutely brilliant (and described by Taylor as the greatest night of darts)
the best darter ever and a nice bloke to boot
I am glad you said that - I thought immediately - hell I saw John Lowe do it Televised
best darts pleyer ever what an accuracy, amazing
a true athlete one of the finnest sportsman the world has seen
It's the way he holds the dart, he was having it point to the floor more. He now has it a lot more horizontal.
Taylor's was the first on live TV. John Lowe and even Paul Lim before him completed a 9 darter on TV but both were pre recorded. But that takes nothing away from both of these players.

Never realised Taylor has changed his technique. Genius at darts!
phil is a great darter

taylor is a machine
I play on a league locally and i'm noticing alot of good sportsmanship. To be honest I don't see a whole lot of it anymore, I was very surprised when I joined.
Never be a talent like Taylor mvg doesn't even come close to what this man achieved in his career
Oh I see; LIVE on tv. I assume the John Lowe one was not live then? Thanks for the update mate!

Phil is a legend and will be forever no matter what you pro darter wannabees say also his down to earth ready to help attitude to the new dart players also shows his gratitude to the up and coming players in the game
Phil "The Power" Taylor is the Best!
On Soccer AM, Taylor said he told this guy to put a tenner on him doin a 9-Darter at 16/1, and he said if u look u can see him go over and point at him and ask him, which you can.
the greatest english sportsman ever
EDIT: Phil Taylor - 1st televised live 9 darter on british televison
Amazing
phil taylor...........absolute fukin legend!!! greatest dart player ever,and a proper sound geyser aswell.
@gazmon I think they meant first 9 Darter live on Sky Sports and on a Live PDC TV Event.
i think its brilliant that the opponent even thinks its brilliant,and shares his joy
I think he means the first televized PDC 9 darter but you're right (Lowe, Lim and Greatbach all did it earlier)
Just checked October 13th 1984 - John Lowe televised - in fact it is on tube
taylors is the greatest darts player to ver draw breath. and a real contender for the english greatests sports man
Phil Taylor is the best
Phil Taylor! I want to be like you!
gääänsehaut man ;) einfach nur genial der typ ;)
Phil Taylor is the best dart player ever
that was awesome
hi ye that was awsome i knew he would win init mate cause hes un stoppable

180,180,60,57, and doppel 12 (24)
9 DATERRRRR
IMPRESSSSSSSIONANTE!!!!!!!!!!!
he´s just the best dart player ever!!!!!
im more impressed by a perfect game. much more longevity and there is a fierce opponent
I do at least four nine dart finishes in every match in my local on a Tuesday!
@colpor1
He said the first LIVE televised 9 darter :)
Phenomenal
the best - EVER!
Good sportsmanship from mason there!!!
@presidentdolf dont even want to know what that is lol is it a cross between golf and darts? sounds cool
phil taylor 13 times world champion.... despite that he can still be backed at 100/1 for sports personality of the year.... fuckin crazy, this man deserves a knighthood !
it was always easy money for this genius!!!
You try doin a 9 darter. Its not easy under pressure on front of live cameras. Taylor is a livin legend.
And to think I thought I was a good player when I did a 12 dart finish once! Not a bit of it! Phil Taylor = legend!
hes awsome
The bdo standard is way below the pdc these days but it didnt used to b. its just that more and more players have moved over to pdc from bdo. Gary Anderson, Mark Webster, Martin Adams. Barney, Phil Taylor and James Wade - look at the names and tell me which is the best.
legendary.
@gazmon i dont think john lowes was live, im not quite sure mate, but john lowes yes was the first seen, but this might have been the first. Maybe Shaun Gretbatch's was first live one.
well said. totally agree
perfect
Shaun Greatbatch was the first dart player to do a live 9 darter on television, he achieved it in the dutch open final, taylor was the first on uk tv, john lowe's 9 darter was'nt live just like lim's was'nt.
wow what id give to be that good
ganz einfach er hat es als erster geschafft einen 9darter im fernsehn live zu werfen
One of the commentators said a 9 darter had never been done on TV before..... didn't John Lowe do it on the 13th of October 1984 ?
Some dutch guy had the first LIVE 9dart finish, still Taylor is a legend ;)
It actually had been done YEARS before live on TV.
Lol, that made me laugh. Don't know why though. Keep practicing and you'll nail it in two darts. *thumbs up*
PERFECT GAME
legend !
i think they said it was the first "LIVE" TV 9 dart finish.John Lowe did it first but it must have been recorded
Shaun Greatbatch produced the first ever live 9 darter.
I think this was the first LIVE one...John Lowe's was recorded..the commentators do say live finish..:-)
First one on LIVE television.
@gazmon thats the different between LIVE and just televised
pill 'the phower' taylor made...... legend.... another surge as he pwers his way through the nine darter... makes it look easy, the man is a genious and shoud be given knighthood and be considered for sports personality of the year 2008 and be made king of england... in fact britain... in fact no th whole world.. YES!! phil wil soon reign over his kingdom tht we all are!! muahahahahahaha
phil could be a great one day!
Throw D20 T20 T20 with your first three darts so you're down to 141. The T20 T19 D12 finish shown here will work with a six-dart finish in this situation.
