which is more difficult

[flame]

right ppl,i play snooker,i also play darts,in my circle of darts and snooker players, recently we have been debating which is hardest to achieve, a 9 darter or a 147. my choice would be a 9 darter(don't really have a reason,only that playing both,my gut says 9 darter) would be interesting to hear your thoughts.

well, trying to talk my mrs into a threesome is proving more difficult than both those at the minute to be honest lol

With darts the distance from the board is always the same, your height is always the same, the throwing angle is always the same and you only need 9 perfect throws. Snooker the distance between balls and pockets are always different the potting angles are always different and you have to pot 36 perfect balls with ball control and position

So I say a snooker 147 is much harder, some pro's have only had a few 147's in practice and in matches, I would think dart pro's have quite a few 9 darters in practice and not so many in matches.

There is just never the right time to ask that question is there

I would say 9 darter is easier, as you need to play 36 shots to get a 147, and a frame of snooker is never ever the same, whilst a dart board never changes

[jrc750]

.... and you have to pot 37 perfect pots.....

Sure its not 36

[finabb]

Sure its not 36

yeah once i've done a 147 I always pot the white after the handshake 37

Sure its not 36

i would be happy making a 36 or 37 at snooker or darts.

Both obviously absolute pinnacles of their respective games, and, having played both games to a pretty high level, I would have to say they are both equally as elusive. As for which is the hardest to achieve....give both a try...you will never get near either one I am sure!

I used to play darts a bit 30 years ago ...once got triple 20 5 times in a row so i was more than half way there
Not even close to halfway getting a 147
