He's Still Got It

I was checking out the PDC website and noticed that Phil Taylor put on an awesome display in defeating Raymond Van Barneveld 8 legs to 3 in the Premier League recently. Taylor averaged 111 points per round (37 per dart) over 11 games. That is better than a 14 dart game. Wow. I know he has done that well before, but it is still incredible. When he is hot, he is in a class of his own. He ended the match with a 167 checkout.

They keep on pushing the bar up, and I keep on, erm , observing it :o)

Exactly so. I suppose that having more money in darts allows more players to take it up full time. It's interesting to see what is possible as far as skill and consistency is concerned when you have enough people going after it so hard.
