Brilliant from Lowe. Incredible the silence from the crowd even when they know it's on. The crowds were so much more respectful back then.

What was it bad that time the tv the board

100k for 45 seconds of work! Unbelievable!!

I like the part where you cum all over the board

A board with staples on the wires and looks like it's been blasted with a shotgun! Yet Lowe still hits the 9 darter! Just awesome

HXH

LOL. I love how he describes American cricket for training.

Was only 39 at the time looked alot older

Good points as well

This year will mark the 40th anniversary of John Lowe hitting the first televised 9 dart finish.

I love how he looks like someone's dad who through a series of fortunate events ended up making sports history

the sound of the board

I just checked this on the Bank of England inflation calculator. That prize of £100,000 in 1984 is the equivilent to over £10,000,000 in 2024 ! Not bad for a couple of minutes work. I met John Lowe around this time when I was in my teens at one of the tournaments, he was a really nice man, he took the flights out of his darts and gave them to me and put a new set in. I still have them tucked away somewhere !

he surely played rugby as a kid

Sorry, 100 grand did he say?! You'd get a mansion for that in 1984😂

I love stuff like this. I bet he didn't have to put his hand in his pocket to pay for a drink for years after this. Possibly ever. We'd all like to accomplish something, this meaningful, in our own lives, as I'm sure this was for him. Stupid question, but I'm guessing there's a few fellow 1980s viewers of Bullseye who might one day read my comment here? 3-2-1? Dusty the Bin?

Not even fair lmfao Old ass dude has 10000000000hrs spent doing that lmao

Joe❤

Gary Anderson always with unicorn ✔️

They couldn’t keep paying £100,000 for 9 darters these days ,, the sponcers would go bust with the amount of 9 darters we see now 🤣🤣

He's been finding a bit of form again lately

what the hell KZbin Algorithm ???

Is cumming on the board optional?

Mind you, he's passed his sell by date now. He must treble 17, bullseye.

Yes, yes, yes... great call always better to say the least in these moments.

I remember this! Seems the norm now! 😜

Just got these in Ar1 and Ar2 .. both seem nice although the slightly larger Ar1 seem to suit me more .. I’m usually a std plus .125 fanatic , but i may be convinced to change shape after trying these . They also look great to boot !

Still love watching this 2024 👌

The way his body is completely still and then when the dart is released his body dips a little forward. Perfection.

I saw this man practice up a local bar aboard. John knows where it was, anyway saw the man kill it again and eat a 9 dart finish with just the barman two locals, and me just walking in on his 9th hand. just ripped the shit out this dart board, barman was on the floor. And the locals were just laughing with ashonishment. I know where someone is that good you just have to laugh. I had to stand with the barman raising his hand to ask me to not move. Then I saw a miracle happen. A 9 dart finish. With a flurry of 180s. Like it was nothing, he finished his drinks, said thanks guys I see you around. And left. Barman and locals were like fuck off that just happened wtf!??? I was like was errr...Yeah mate you know who that was. He fucjing picture is up on the wall with his signature on it. I was that was John. No way! The locals were like you saw that9 dart finish right with the 3 180s afterwards. You saw that right. I was like err I saw the last 3x180s yeah but didn't catch the 9 dart before that no...They were like you just missa fucking miracle from the GOAT.

Good to hear Alan Evans get a mention

I remember watching this as it happened. The first nine darter live on the telly. Paul Lim having thrown the first nine darter to be televised, BDO World's from Lakeside.

With shit like that on the line, I'd have been shaking and useless. Even more useless than usual.

He was my favourite player when growing up, and from watching a few videos of John on KZbin tonight, I've just realised that my throw is based on his. The same time on each dart, same speed, same flow. If only my aim was as good 😅

A quiet audience!

I remember watching this with my stepfather i was 15 at the time.

He doesn't even blink at all

I actually didn't even know professional dart players _don't_ aim for the bullseye 😆 That was epic!

Did he say he get 100000 for that? Like why?

Guys, stop throwing darts & before that, just look at dartboard, DON'T BLINK & hit imaginary 9 darters - everyday for 15 minutes. You'll become better:-)

Hello, I have a question for you. From time to time, I have questions after watching your videos, and you answer them, thank you. Now my question is, I'm very confused about this. I'm new to this dart thing and I've been trying to improve myself for 4-5 months. And while doing this work, I bought dart sets of different weights, from 23 to 26 g, but mostly in the form of torpedoes. I have a straight barrel old 26g winmau cyclone set. People where I played could not understand all this diversity. They tell me to stay steady on a weight and set. I tried the sets they used and decided to buy a good straight barrel set. I liked MVG's excat and aspire sets. But I'm undecided about the weight. I also wrote to other reviewers on KZbin. Some people say buy a heavy set and lighten it over time. Another person says 23g is ideal. The other person should choose a set according to your throw, so if you're throwing fast, take it lightly, if you're throwing slowly, take it slow. I was confused about what to do. I'm currently playing with darts clearence 24g set, which fits my hand relatively well. As I said, I intend to buy MVG. Your opinion is also valuable to me. please share your opinion.

Can anyone explain why the bullseye isn’t worth the most?

its that neanderthal in him

Крутой дротист, просто кумир, аплодирую одной рукой

His 9 darter will always stand out,as you know the first on TV and the check out double 18 , most are double 12 , i don't know about the which is the best check out but this is hardly gone for double 18 ?

So why do they keep redesigning darts? Wouldn't this be the dart of choice?

SUddenly this darts competitions appear i my recomended, werir, since I know nothing about this game, I though pros would try to hit the center but nobody does that in the videos

£100 grand in 1984 is the equivalent of £350 grand in 2024. Not bad for a days work or however long the darts match was. John Lowe totally deserved it, he was my favourite player in the 1980s.

Back in the day when players had armour piercing darts

I like his firm, steadiness, patience of throwing, instead of fast throw..
