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.
