Top 5 9 dart finishes of all time

[@MalphasMikaelson]

Respect to Wade. When Dolan was going for his last 3 darts he told the crowd to be quiet.

[@vvosmerpower]

Malphas Mikaelson i watched the mentalist, your logo red john is cool

[@MalphasMikaelson]

Great show.

[@kikikolar6249]

[@jackkahn8217]

Fuck Wade an asshole

[@firehorse5206]

No you didnt see his hands , he was doing double thumbs down

[@vordman]

Dolan's was the best because he needed a double start and bull finish.

[@drinklearn9207]

vordman exactly 👍

[@Rooopertful]

Why did both of them start at a double?

[@totalhysteria]

They always need to start with a double in Grand Prix.

[@bootneckbenners8971]

What about Wade’s and Thornton’s?

[@josemalosa62]

Taylor y crrooss

[@brucewigley7227]

Dolan... absolutely the best 9 darter.. starts on a double and finishes with a bull.. can not be bettered

[@barath4545]

You could argue that since you can start with bull too, you can make it more impressive, with 170/161 - 161/170 - 170 for a 9 double start with two big fish at the same time. It would also be the smarter version, since the pressure is biggest near the end so get rid of the odd triple in the middle or the start (Bull, T17, T20) MvG has been trying to do a regular 9-darter lately where he finishes on 170 on purpose, not happened yet though, 180 - 151 (Bull, T17, Bull) - 170 would be the showboat way.

[@ScottayH29]

5:30 I like how everyone holds up their 180 signs here and theres a guy in the front row that wrote 108 lol

[@danfuerthgillis4483]

LMFAO good catch he must of been drunk lol.

[@WorldShuttler]

me too lol lmaooo

[@paddyross6321]

Legend 😂 108 👍

[@khairulanwar9175]

hahahaahah lol

[@TheDesperateArtist]

108 is harder to hit than 180...

[@dingding827]

Have to agree starting with a double and finishing with the bull fantastic darts 🎯

[@njdenney69]

The best of all time in my opinion doesn't even make the list? Quite simply . . . . . John Lowe. When the wires were 4 times the size and the darts were twice the size. By far the best ever 9 darter!

[@davidhayes1967]

I was just about to say where was John lowe's 9 darter, he was the first televised 9 darter

[@nuclei100]

I think taylors 2nd 9 against wade should be in this but hard to knock one out. As 2 9's in one mstch is unbelievable. Up there with Lim and Dolan

[@lauracostelloe4068]

Taylor v wright is not any better than anything

[@maliciouspig8494]

Say that to Borland

[@mozzjones6943]

I'm sorry to hear that. It must be so frustrating when you can't manage to knock one out over a great 9 dart finish..

[@Ace-hq5gm]

Won't be long before pt 2 comes out for Michael Smith's 9 in the world final 2023

[@SandsOfArrakis]

Yeah especially since MVG was also in the race for the 9 darts in the same leg.

[@chestergordon70]

Once saw an exhibition with Bobby George, he went 167,167,167 each time hitting t20, t19, bull. The perfect nine darter

[@johnmc3862]

Exhibition, no pressure. Sounds good though.

[@chrisjames6327]

Well, there is lots of pressure playing in front of an audience at an exhibition. It would be too much for everyday/amateur players. But professionals can handle an insane amount

[@jw6968]

Wow! Would love to see a televised one of those!

[@doraemon402]

Kim Huybrechts' passion makes everything spectacular

[@TrashCanDolfie]

Holy shit he gained weight now that i see this after the world cup

[@-hunt-6225]

Idk how I got here but I’m glad I did. Darts can get hype!! 😯

[@ignassileris3873]

Why is wade always on the other end of a 9 darter? :DDD

[@alma_9990]

WADE and THORNTON scored a 9 darter in the same match, for me it should be 1st because it's a double start match !!

[@karstenberg3954]

Phil Taylor himself once said something like "If your opponent is SO strong, you just want to win the next leg. You don't think about the 9-darter. You want THAT leg. Because if both players are on their top level every leg is important." And with saying so this is an indirect and HUGE compliment towards James Wade, because he always used to make his opponent show his best performance in order to beat him. And I really guess: That's it! =)

[@edwardhayes8716]

I'm the same with wade I've had 4 9 darters against me

[@lorvik]

He is the lucky charm!

[@joshmarlowe46]

Barneveld as well especially when he's playing Lewis

[@gerrymckenna4878]

Wade showing true sporting class trying to calm down the crowd to allow his opponent a chance unlike the screaming commentators

[@ribletroblet]

The history maker, good to see you got it right, that should be #1

[@robertivaniszyn840]

This officially needs updating, Willy Borland's 9 takes the damn cake

[@jamesmitchell5126]

Totally agree the match was on a knife edge all square when Borland did the nine darter

[@JADA2oo8]

I concur hitting a 9 darter in the sudden death leg on his debut beats Dolans all day long

[@JADA2oo8]

And the boys only 19 aswel

[@simonparkes5514]

The first televised nine darter made by John Lowe is easily the best, a wire board and big bombs, unbelievable!!

[@ivanfojan8859]

Amazingly, there have been 3 televised 9 darters with a double start and James Wade was involved in all three! The one against Brendan Dolan and then the following year, both him and Robert Thornton hit one in the same match :)

[@GregGNP]

The Dolan clip was for me the best. Jeez what a way to finish!

[@LOLMAN9538]

Here's my top 5: 5. Willie Borland against Bradley Brooks in the 1st round of the 2022 World Darts Championship (Honestly one of the best 9 darters thrown at the WDC) 4. Adrian Lewis against Gary Anderson in the finals of the 2011 World Darts Championship (First 9 darter ever thrown in the finals of the WDC) 3. Raymond van Barneveld against Brendan Dolan in the 2nd round of the 2010 World Darts Championship (RVB's second 9 darter in the WDC) 2. Paul Lim vs Jack McKenna in the 2nd round of the 1990 World Darts Championship (First WDC 9 darter ever thrown) 1. Gerwyn Price vs Glen Durrant in the 2nd round of the 2019 Czech Darts Open (9 Darter to end the match)

[@MontageGaming]

Dolan's is the best ever. No argument.

[@jo6835]

What is with shaun greatbatch?Every dart was perfect in the middle of the trebles and the double

[@ElToristo]

​@@MontageGamingWade's and Thornton's were better deluded Irish

[@MontageGaming]

@@ElToristo the first time it ever happened. In front of a home crowd. There is no comparison

[@piratescove4]

Willie Borland's 9 darter is probably the best one of all time. It and Dolan's are tied for number 1 for me.

[@Dravenxlle]

M. Smith watching this video : Hold my beer.

[@scotty193]

Best leg of darts ever.......Going out on a bulls eye trumps all finishes and Wade yet again is like a magnetic to 9 darters.........I want play him hahahaha.

[@garydouglass9577]

Some good ones but we all know the John Lowe first ever is the best ever without a doubt. 🏆🏆🏆

[@mariner4ever]

Add to this Michael Smith’s 9 darter in the 2023 World Final, the best leg of darts there has ever been.

[@haworthtrevor]

To be fair the commemorators are inside a booth, the players can't hear.

[@AkiraAkiyama]

Dolan deserves this number 1.

[@McElhinney65]

Best 9 dart finish ever by Dolan. My grandfather was a Fermanaghman.

[@seanmac65mac58]

James Wade is gentleman telling the crowd to hush,

[@kennethtalbott2233]

loved the last one, brilliant.

[@romarshall3431]

A nine darts 🎯 finish is very special to watch.. And start with a double is immense and the extreme of professionalism

[@rijulgupta1597]

The greatest 9 darter has to be against wadey... So Dolan wins it for me

[@jocelynquilnet7453]

#SKYSPORTS FROM DOLAN IN DUBLIN 🇮🇪

[@jamesmitchell5126]

Can remember Taylor with two nine darters against wade I think wade has been on the receiving end of a few nine darters. The Scottish lad who got a nine darter in the worlds to win the match after the match being all square was fantastic

[@Alex-1750]

At least Wade is the only person ever to throw a 9darter in the normal format and in Grand Prix.

[@stuffwithsoph8264]

Willie Borland is the Scottish guy you're talking about...his opponent was Bradley Brooks 👍

[@gegessen159]

Yes, it was also Wade when van Gerwen threw 17 perfect Darts, nearly hitting two nine-darters in a row

[@terencehill2320]

Damn, that list is definitely debatable. Clearly Rob Lowe's 1984 9 darter should be on here and if you want to make an exception, the 1st 17 darts of Van Gerwen when he damn near went back to back

[@bhutchisonbh]

Rob Lowe?🤔

[@paddyross6321]

Rob Lowe 😂

[@TheCleanasyougo]

2 of the best commentators for the 2nd match , a time when they used to bigger than the dart players themselves.

[@ptahasaru3366]

That number 9,Dolan what a finish....👋

[@robbo03]

Dolan's 9 darter might be the greatest ever

[@stoyz76]

You HAVE to include John Lowe and his first televised 9 darter in any conversation about top games OF ALL TIME. Be real folks.

[@kyleturner3559]

THIS. WAS. JUST. BEATEN. End of.

[@dermotgannon4895]

Not anymore Smithy v MVG

[@joachimsudergat3924]

This precision is fantastic. I am lucky if i only need 30 or 40 Darts. :))

[@jimmynich4791]

You would beat me easy. Darts and golf two sports I have zero talent for.

[@jochengnu4214]

The greatest nowdays is when Gerwen finnish it with T19 B D20! The 9 darter Gerwen did against Barnevald when He was 17 years old should be on the list to.

[@henlo8325]

The commentating on dolans 9darter was pure gold

[@Drecksdusler]

Phil is so casual about his 9 darter

[@lonestar6709]

I think Adie Lewis' against Barnie is still the best. He did it so fast, it was unbelievable.

[@TheJohnCooperShow]

HuyBrecht’s was on fire that game

[@johnny5805]

Athletes in their primes and at their peaks !

[@robertmcqueen289]

Dolen wins in this selection. Although Wade and Thornton have done the same 9 darter in the same match. Epic darts.

[@MontageGaming]

Yeah, given the circumstances and the fact it was never done and the fact Dolan is Irish makes it the best 9 darter I believe. Even though its been done since.

[@edgarfnmeyer]

Missing a few here, John Lowe, Winstanley, MVG's first against Barney when he still had hair.

[@jasoncleenwerck]

Kim's reaction is amazing

[@theostickley6492]

No John Lowe first ever televised?

[@willabrams9449]

Dolan one with the bullleyefinish is my favourite one

[@huepix]

Yup. Dolans one needing a double to start and having to get a bull to finish (or start), is the hardest/best.

[@ZZ-qk8ji]

Amazing! I noticed a couple of things: 1. In 4 of the 5, each guy was congratulated by their opponent.......except MVG (twat) 2. Wade asking the crowd to be quiet while Dolan was playing.....great sportsmanship

[@BasMeijer]

Not sure, seems MVG is trying to make contact to congratulate him several times. But Kim doesn't look at him once. Then he seems to say congratulations to Kim acknowledged by Kim with a pad on the shoulder? Anyway, I do agree he could look more appreciative, if for no other reason than for his own sake. Otherwise ignorant people may call him a twat :)

It has probably been done before but I would love to watch some go for bull to checkout. Two 180's followed by a triple 17, double 20 and bull to checkout.

[@tyhill8313]

Did you watch the video? The last clip with Dolan’s 9 darter he checked out with the bull 😂

[@johnroberts8512]

Peter Manley nearly did it

[@bernieatkins5182]

@@tyhill8313 yes he did. But not the way I said it. Checkout with a triple 17, double 20 and a bull. He checked out with a triple 20, a triple 17 and then the bullseye.

3:18 this is when it gets real. The speed Michael van Gerwen plays at (although this is the other guy getting the 9 dart finish and he's also very fast).

[@kwabbernoot6912]

Okay quick question. Was the crowd not allowed to cheer in between the 3 dart throws(second video) or did they just kept silence out of respect so the player could remain focused?

[@jonathanvince8173]

Paul lim I remember that but the other most important 9 darter is the last game as need a bull or double to start then a ( dart finish is the most difficult one to get 9 dart finish.
