Eyes of a sniper. Hands of a surgeon. Body of Homer Simpson.
The key to great dart throwing is to distract your opponent.. , go up to the dart board and stab all 3 darts exactly where you want the on the board, and before your opponent turns back around, you pull you finger in and out 3 times so that it sounds like you threw all 3 darts in quick succession.
Lol

😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
The perfect bond villan.
had no idea what was going on but by the sound of the cheers this was really impressive
In the world of darts, you just watched John Lowe throwing absolute perfection.
I've shot darts for many years, this guy is amazing!
it's comfortable to watch great videos
Jees.... am I that old!!!!!! I watched it live.
I just love the way he told
"ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTYYYYYY"
I managed a single official '180 ' in my entire amateur darts careers, but could only ever dream of such a performance.
There’s a dart career?
@@brod5392 There is a career in almost any and every sport, mate. Darts is HUGE in England.
There is an annual Rock/Paper/Scissors Championship
@@LordEriolTolkien I don’t know if I’d quite call it a “sport”. More of a game of skill really. Also, how big exactly are those English darts and is the board bigger as well?
@@brod5392 The board is standard, what you'd find in any pub, and darts weigh from about 15 to 30 grams each (that is how they are rated- by weight)
and the oche (the line marking throw distance) is a standard 7ft 9 1/4 inch from the board face.
It is a 'sport' in the sense that it requires lots of practice and competition.
It is remarkably mentally intense: lots of pressure to perform what is a very precise act of eye hand coordination.
Incidentally, requires and develops mental arithmetic. All good darts players can calculate backwards from 501
And mental arithmetic itself is a much neglected mental activity
@@LordEriolTolkien Sure, but it lacks athleticism.
If darts come in standard weight, why are they bigger in England?
John made it look easy!
Quite the unorthodox final visit. I wonder why he went 51-54-36 instead of the now-standard 60-57-24 route used to take out 141.
THATS WHY HES THE GOATT
Quality!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Legend
Seen him in a pub in chesterfield last month
No Country For Old Men, the alternative ending
underrated
EXACTLY what I was going to say!
that was i was thinking when i was watching the video 😂😂
Can you explain the joke I didn't get it.
John Lowe looks like Anton Chigurh from the film No Country For Old Men@@naillik1517

And then on the next guy's throw he says
_"fifty nine"_

No one seems to be mentioning the fact that back in the 80's, a hundred grand was a huuuge sum of money. Good on him.
His win would be £335,283 now or $474,464 in 'Murica money.

Or perhaps no one cares except you. Are you finished fishing for likes or do you require more validation in your life?

Look at John's posture throughout, his body looks totally relaxed, his technique so clean and smooth. I remember watching this when it happened. A darts legend.
I was there. word was that he snorted a line of coke, took 3 gabbies, smoked a huge bowl of weed, then took a straight shot of whiskey before making the shots
his face was a mixture of pure concentration and stoic imperturbability. The pressure was very real
What year was this? Im guessing mid 80s?

@@onlyme112 haha nice, I do actually remember exactly what he had
I cannot begin to tell you how hard this is. First of all, while I was an excellent player, a nine dart game was almost unimaginable. But beyond that level of skill, I did play on TV and it takes an amazing ability to concentrate on the board when you have a camera focused on your face, within your field of vision. And a roomful of spectators looking on. I know these guys have a lot more TV experience than I ever did, but still, wow!

Same thing mate
The algorithm brought us here, we must be grateful.
The game is first to 0 points, you start with 501, hence the name "501 up". You throw 3 darts per round. Biggest triangle under the number is that amount of points, the rectangle on the outer edge is 2x points, the inner rectangle is 3x points. So hitting the 3x box under 20 is 60 points each dart, for 180 points down in 3 darts. He scored 360 points within 6 darts, then a triple 17, a triple 18 and a double 18 with his last 3 for 501 points in 9 total darts, which is the least amount of darts it takes to win a game of 501 up.

Of course, this is way more difficult then typing without looking at a keyboard 😂.
@@noidea989 no animal can come remotely close to a humans throwing ability, it isn’t muscles, it’s the brain.

Its a required part of the sport actually. They wont throw if there's crowd chatter
Just depends on the event

Watch Keith as John gets ready to throw the final dart; obviously motioning for quiet. Nice bit of sportsmanship.
Na he wants them to be loud so that Johnny misses
Well spotted sir
How disciplined the audience is to allow each player its concentration phase by being quiet in every time when the darts are thrown. During this time it was a question of respect to do so, definitely something that today's 'dart fans' have to learn again. And imagine they would do so: How many more 9-darters would we maybe see on stage, if the stars don't get distracted any more?

remember it well in 1984, & what an unusual way to take out the 141
Some players had the philosophy that trying to hit seven treble twenties in a row was asking a lot so they would mix up their attempt at the nine-darter. It’s the same reason some don’t even go for the two maximums to start off
Yeah strange way to take it but 100 grand in 1984 coulda bought you a mansion😂 now the 9 darter is every other week like the 147 in snooker..thought the big man would have celebrated it a bit more😂😂😂
@@felixfachanetti3074 No wire staples and thinner wires, the beds are bigger, plus there are now 50 - 100 players on the tour who could do it whereas in John's heyday there were only a few.
@@Wally-H it's the mentality as well. As soon as people started seeing them hit regularly the aura fades. Same as how football teams are invincible until somebody cracks them, then everybody's belief increases.
Also, the professionalism today is far superior, but that is thanks to John Lowe, Bristow etc who elevated darts in a big way.
Aye it was,
51 54 36 is a weird combo but it worked
"Looks like he's going for three seventeens"
How the hell did you know? Watched his eyes?
You can tell he’s aiming low
It's because of how darts are scored. The announcer knew he had to get 141 with his last three darts for a perfect game of 501.
The first time anyone saw Keith Deller smile , total respect from one pro to another
the announcers “yes..YES… YESSSSS!” killed me
yes
Yes
YEEEEEEAAAAAAAASSSSSS
The “yes” after the 8th dart showed the anticipation
People are too humble man, I'd flip a fucking table over after that
Come back here couple of times a year,
Why?
To be amazed that even though the darts he was throwing had big fat barrels he was still sinking them in up to the hilt for crying out loud, listen to the thud each one makes when it buries in, I still can't believe he was able to get three in the treble never mind so close and buried up to the hilt!
Some people prefer heavier darts. It depends on your technique. I prefer 24-26 gram darts (kinda heavy, but not crazy) because they allow me to throw with a smoother action and sink nicely, i can feel the dart in my hand and can get a good grip, then the weight of the dart does the work, i just have to focus on trajectory.
This is what I love about our friends across the Atlantic. Wish we had this much passion about darts.
John Lowe a legend
