The Love The Darts Dozen estimates and compares the length of the average leg over players’ last 180 stage legs.
Michael van Gerwen’s inconsistency in Hildesheim results in a large decline in scoring form (9.55 darts to a finish from 9.36 last week).
A breakthrough victory for Raymond van Barneveld against van Gerwen was accompanied by superior setup play.
Alan Norris can’t keep pace with his 2016 German Darts Championship form, dropping to 3.08 darts at double per leg won.
Jelle Klaasen falls to last place in the LTD12 for the first time, owing to shaky victories in Germany and Premier League relegation.
