Teaching Approach

Explain Calculation

​

  • First 9: Total points in first 9 darts ÷ 9 × 3.

  • Overall: Total points scored ÷ total darts thrown × 3.

Illustrate Impact A player with a 100 First 9 and a 70 Overall likely struggles to finish. A player with a 60 First 9 and a 70 Overall may finish well but lacks explosive starts.

  • Practice Drill “First 9 Blast”: Play multiple legs focusing only on the first 9 darts, record average.

Key Learning

​

  • Good players keep First 9 and Overall averages close, showing balance between scoring and finishing.
