Join us as we take a more in-depth look at the greatest leg of darts of all time from the 2023 World Darts Championship Final. Michael Smith strikes the perfect nine-dart leg against Michael van Gerwen at Ally Pally in epic final.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Michael Smith Hits Dramatic Nine-Darter In Greatest Leg Of Darts Of All Time<\/h2>\n

When it comes to darts, there is simply nothing better than a nine-dart finish<\/a>. Winning a leg using just nine darts is the epitome of perfection, it simply cannot be bettered.<\/p>\n

Perfection in golf<\/a> is a hole-in-one, in snooker it’s a 147 and even in bowling it’s a perfect 300-break. When it comes to darts, the nine-darter is the best any player can achieve.<\/p>\n

Of course a 170 checkout<\/a> is also impressive, as it hitting a 180. However, it is the coveted nine-dart finish that is simply the best. So what about hitting a nine-darter in the final of the biggest darts tournament in the world against the best player of the last decade?<\/p>\n

Step forward Michael Smith<\/a>, who struck the perfect leg in his 2023 World Darts Championship<\/a> Final clash with ‘MVG’\u00a0at the Alexandra Palace in London.<\/p>\n

Hitting a nine-darter is tough enough, never mind on the Ally Pally stage and never mind in the final against the great Michael van Gerwen. However, that isn’t all that was special about Smith’s nine-darter back in 2023.<\/p>\n

What made it even more impressive is that van Gerwen had missed double 12 for his own nine-darter just moments before in the same leg. The Dutchman struck eight perfect darts before missing the double 12 target by millimetres, before ‘Bully Boy’ then stepped up and checked out 141 for the greatest nine-dart finish of all time. Period.<\/p>\n
