willie thorne allegedly had over 50 147's in practice but could not transfer that to the glare of the tv cameras.
usually cos he had backed his opponent. Allegedly
I remember Wille playing a world championship match in the 90's when many firms would not price the match up. I think the guy retired at just the right time............

many amatuer dart players regularly achieve nine darters in practice....i have and i am pretty sure mfi will have done as well. from my late teens to my thirties i played in a wednesday league,a thursday league and a friday league.when you are practicing (sometimes for 3 or 4 hours,) you get into a rhythm and hitting 180's becomes quite a common occurence.the same can be said for snooker players,willie thorne allegedly had over 50 147's in practice but could not transfer that to the glare of the tv cameras.
OK - that's cool, I obviously don't know any decent darts players! I'd go for the bowling then. Needs consistent skill, and a large element of luck.

He once came into a Hills shop in Sheffield to collect a bet he had placed on some dodgy dogs at Portsmouth. I think the amount was about 14k. As he hadnt placed the bet in that shop the manager didnt have 14k in the shop so had to go to the bank for it. Willie asked if he could have a bet on the strength of these returns while the manager collected the money and a he was allowed to bet on the strength of his soon to arrive 14k, when the manager got back with the money he had done 12k of it in!!!

Having a couple of darts trophys, played a bit of golf as a kid, played snooker & played 10 pin....
I'd say 10-pin's 300 is the toughest - to people that play the games.
My best run at 10 pin was 5 strikes, my best break at snooker was 64, I never got a hole in one and I managed a 10 dart finish. So as an average player all roound - I'd call the 300 the toughest.

Tough to put it in here, as it's largely dependant on the quality of batsman.
With the others, it's man against constant grass, man against constant cork, man against constant bails, and man against constant skittles.

For what its worth guys i used to play a lot of Tenpin Bowling (national level at under 18). I never actually scored a 300 but over two back to back games i threw 17 strikes in a row, did this quite often. (12 to make a 300) I knew collegues that had bowled 3 or 4 300 games before the age of 18!!
Not wishing to suggest that this is easy the level of practice was enormous, but it is for all the sports mentioned. I would say the 9 dart finish is the toughest, at least with snooker during a break you may have two or three reds on offer at any point in time, which i think builds in slight room for error. With darts you gotta hit that little treble bit EVERY time.
Deffo 9 dart finish toughest, then 147, then 300...hole in one piece of cake
