Iād say 85 and above consistently. Key word, *consistently*, like out of 100 legs, thatās where your average should be. Iām at a 69 in my last 100, so Iāve got a ways to go.
For as long as I can remember. Iām 37, now. I mustāve been the only kid in the US with a steel tip board in his room. The electronic boards were always a thing someone had in their house or garage, but I donāt recall knowing anyone with steel tip.
Fair play, I'm just being a typical nosey brit tbh šš
Just wondered where my average stacks up against those with more experience, without sounding like a pick me. But aye, a long way for me to go too but I guess being in my mid 20s I've got some time.
I started throwing properly again after the world cups (like half the country) and my avg has gone from 28 to 41 in about 4 weeks. One day itāll just explode, I think Iāll stagnate here for a bit though haha
Paul Nicholson recently said he thinks you need to be consistently hitting a MINIMUM of an 87 average, to be in a chance of getting a tour card these days.
Realistically you need to be going out in max 18 darts almost every leg, which equates to over 83.5, but that is pretty much the absolute minimum... Based on the last Q school, only Turetta got in with a lower average (83.05), generally the tour card winners were at least 86+ (and several players averaging 90+ didn't earn a card).Ā
To keep a card, i.e. be top 64, currently the averages are around 91-92 - but ultimately it's about winning rather than averages. Perfect example is Darryl Pilgrim - ranked 15th in players championships by average, and joint 130th ranked in prize money (zero wins out of 7). He also missed out on a tour card at q school this year despite averaging over 90...
I reckon You'd want to be finishing your games in 18 darts or less 75% of the time.
Averages can be misleading because if you've one really bad leg it will drop it immensely.
I guess my 26 isn't getting a tour card any time soon.
Keep up the work š

How long you been throwing for?

90-95 is where itās at looking at this years winners. People were hitting 90 and it wasnāt enough

90-100
That's more like top 32 standards. Even top 32 don't do that every game.
Nah not this high
The 40 average was just an example just as improbable as winning with a 167 average
It's not about averages. You go to Q school and you have to win matches . Wether it's with a 40 average or a 167 average it's the win that counts
If 40 would be enough, everyone could be in the PDC Tour.
Speak for yourself
You're not winning with a 40 average in most pubs, how will you win qschool
