Emphasize First 9 Impact

KEY CONCEPTS :

What It Is

The First 9 Average represents the scoring power at the start of a leg—typically the first three visits (nine darts).

It sets the foundation for whether a leg will be finished in 12–18 darts or drift into a scrappy contest.

DETAILS :

Why It Matters

Strong First 9 creates early pressure on the opponent.

High early scoring often correlates with a lower average number of darts per leg.

Helps players establish tempo and control.
