I met Eric Bristow at the North American Open back in 1989. He was good-natured, friendly and quite down to earth. All around I thought he was a decent guy. Rest in peace old boy. 🎡
He was an absolute gentleman. I Was in a bar in liverpool 2 years before he died where he was performing. Stopped for everyone for photographs and autographs. Took him ages to go outside for just a cigarette. Darts biggest Legend.
Great video. Only missed one player in the top 15 and that is Dimi Vandenbergh. When Dimi is playing his A-game, probably one of the best 180 hitters on the whole circuit. Probably the same goes for Joe Cullen. I remember his match in the World Championship last year against MVG, just incredible. I think he has hit 20+ 180's in that match.
The reason people like MVG and Price aren't perceived as massive 180 hitters is board management. If you had a section for 170+ scores like 171, 174 and 177 then they would absolutely be the top two. Their all round game is much better and when you look at a lot of De Sousas 180's for instance. He's left on a bogey or has to use an extra dart to check out.
@@Straightdarts MvG is the best switcher to treble 19s there ever was. He basically single handedly put that switch on the map as a perfectly normal way to go around the board. Before MvG there was no one who even came close to the amount of treble 19s MvG hits on a regular basis.
Phil 'THE POWER' Taylor should be on any darts fans list, the fact that he is not in a darts channels list is baffling. Straight to the point for ya'll
@@hellboypt30 I'm a professional darts coach that works with some of the world's best players, I know darts. The Joke is your inability to acknowledge Taylor was the best ever but not a massive 180 hitter.
@@Straightdarts come on you have got Ted hankey and Mervyn King in the list. But not the greatest darts player of all time. Ridiculous assessment. 9 darters, 180s smashed in all over, multiple champion and not in this list? I don't care who you coach that's insanity
@@Straightdarts Even when he got the record for highest average in a slam or in an unranked event he's till didn't get the record. Mvg is my fav player but better known for his heavy scoring and finishing not his 180's. People just see his records and assume he has them but it's far from the case. When he best gary anderson in 2017 gary got more 180's and if I remember correctly broke the record and still lost. Just shows u how good mvg is and its not all about hitting a 180.
@@Straightdarts MvG has more 177, 174 and 171 than ANY other player in history by far. And that is the only reason he is not at the very top of the 180 hitters. It is literally because he switches to 19s a lot and doesn't care about not hitting a 180 that way.
Ted Hankey's action is smooth as butter.
Kim Huybrechts in his prime was unstopable.He was one of the best 180 hitters and he is still very good in it

Definitely plays a huge part in it. If it was including 177 ect Phil Taylor would be top on the shop in my opinion. :)

@@hansolo2121 The nuke also a fantastic switcher now, he makes t19 look effortless
dennis priestley was a unreal 180 hitter at his time, broke many records
Great channel so far
Much easier to appreciate the old dudes if you remember playing on those round wire staple filled boards.
I love Gary ..he’s such a heavy scorer on a good day.
he just wants to play darts
Great video. I enjoyed that.
Another great video, a good one you could do is a top list of 9 nine darters
Thanks mate and good Idea, Thanks! :)
I was just about to mention Steve Beaton but he sneaks in near the end. Good vid.
Great video, love your content !!👍🎯🇺🇸
Thanks 😊
I think a "best finishers" video would make a great video. Though, I could see why this would be difficult to make
180s Performance PDC Players Championship Tour 2021 (updated after PC26)
José de Sousa 294/844 (≈ 34.8%)
Dirk van Duijvenbode 290/760 (≈ 38.2%)
1:15 Countless PDC Major winner as well??? In which Universe?
I didn't mean to say major haha I was referring to hus 13 Pro tour wins. 😅
@@Straightdarts You also could have said "Finals"😂
@JaWatDenn Jonge That is very true, my friend 😄 🤣 feel bad for him.
I think James Wade should be in there.... he hits the 180s pretty regularly....
He hits a good lot on a good day, but I dont think he quite reaches this list. Hits way more 140s than anyone else
Good video, but I missed Martin Schindler :(
Pls have a look at his grouping in the triple twenty segments.
You're right. When I made this video, he wouldn't have deserved a place, but these days, he is definitely notable, at least. 😀
Peter Wright is a top 3 hitter, think he should be mentioned as well.
fortunately it's not all about 180s but overall consistency during entire season

Taylor never broke a single 180 record. He was incredibly constant and by fair the best at hitting scores like 171 177 174 but not massive on 180s.
whats your favorite german playler and why,for me its defintly gabriel clemens
That's hard, I love Clemens' attitude and personality, but Max Hopp has an awesome throw.
Phil Taylor?
Not actually that big on the 180s! Loads of scores like 177 & 174 but never broke any 180s records.

i thought sousa matched the record not beat it
What is the song on te background pls??
I'm note sure, it was copyright free on am editing app :)
No Phil Taylor
He was definitely the best at 177, 174 & 171 but he never broke a 180 record.
I would Stick Jockey in over Devon Peterson but otherwise a good list
Not a bad shout that mate 👌 😃
Fallon is a great one80 hitter
Dirk van duijvenbode 🤷
Hey, something Phil Taylor isn’t the best at.
Yeah but main reason is he wasn’t really thriving for it ..meaning he was many times going for the t19’s imo
Fallon Sherrock is pretty good at hitting 180s!
My 180s have dropped incredibly..averaging 3-4 a day now Im lucky to get 10 in a week...
Chisnall and straight forward should never be paired when discussing darts. And MVG “very underestimated” for 180s? By who? Who says that?
Have you ever heard a pundit say MVG is a big 180 hitter? Never happens.
