Five nine-darters hit during first Players Championship weekend equals whole of 2014 in new statistics released

In this past weekend's Players Championship action, there were no fewer than five nine-darters hit as the ProTour once again proved itself as once again the place to catch perfect legs of darts.

Mickey Mansell, Mike van Duivenbode, Keegan Brown, Scott Baker and Nathan Aspinall all hit nine-darters; during Players Championship 1&2 in Barnsley. As a result, there have been just as many perfect legs thrown this past weekend; as the whole of 2014.

This rising trend of nine-darters was apparent last year as well with 47 thrown throughout the whole year but only one of them was on TV. In 2020, already the counter currently sits at six nine-darters.
