Bristol's Most Improved Darts Players – Last 100 Legs Analysis

 

Darts is often measured by trophies, titles and tournament victories.

But improvement is just as important.

With that in mind, I wanted to take a different approach and identify the players making the biggest strides in their game across the Bristol darts scene.

This report covers players competing within approximately 50 miles of Bristol and includes only those who have played at least six events and recorded at least 100 legs. Those requirements ensure that the rankings reward sustained progress rather than a single standout performance.

To calculate improvement, I compared each player's most recent 50 recorded legs with the 50 legs immediately before them. The percentage increase between those two periods determines their ranking.

The results highlight players from every level of the game. Some are newer players finding consistency, while others are already producing strong darts and continuing to raise their standards.

Topping the list is Christopher Willcocks. His average increased from 51.47 to 60.40 across his most recent 50-leg sample, representing an impressive 17.35% improvement.

Natalie Baxter sits second after improving from 44.38 to 50.54 (+13.88%), narrowly ahead of SKITZ 007, whose average rose from 61.20 to 69.69 (+13.87%).

One of the standout performances in the report belongs to Gary Hiscock. Already operating at a very high level, Gary improved from 73.26 to 83.10, an increase of nearly 10 points per three darts. Improving at that level is exceptionally difficult and deserves special recognition.

The rankings also demonstrate that progress can be found throughout the grassroots game. Players averaging in the 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond all feature prominently, showing that improvement is possible regardless of current ability.

These rankings are not intended to identify the best player in Bristol. Instead, they celebrate development, commitment and the steady gains that ultimately make players stronger competitors.

After all, darts is often a game of small improvements repeated consistently over time.
