Ricky Evans' rapid checkout of 167 is incredible to watch

Ricky Evans is quite possibly the quickest darts player to ever grace the oche.

Whilst darts players are often known for their poise, Evans throws all of that out of the window in favour of car crash style darts.

His nickname ‘Rapid‘ offers any new fan an immediate insight into the lighting speeds that he throws his arrows at the board.

But even the most hardcore darts fans was left surprised at how quickly he checked out a 167 at last year’s World Championship.

The 31-year-old hit a treble 20, treble 19 and the bull in true blink and you’ll miss it fashion to clinch the first set.

Former darts player John Part was audible in disbelief on commentary, saying: “Ricky Evans, how fast was that?!”

Well, we have the answer. There was a fraction over three seconds between the first dart nestling in the treble 20 and the final dart piercing the bullseye.
