A teenager has produced darts perfection on camera. DartsNews reports that 16 year old Archie Self hit a nine dart finish at the MODUS Super Series Champions Week on Wednesday 28 October, with the match shown on PlutoTV

The organisers said he had threatened the nine darter on several occasions over the previous two weeks and had finally hit it. DartsNews describes him as the youngest player to hit a televised nine dart finish

Commentator Paul Nicholson was full of praise, saying Self is doing things that even Luke Littler did not and calling it ludicrous

The article is short and does not name his opponent, the round or the result of the match. It also does not explain how the youngest claim was checked, so that part should be treated carefully

Comparisons with Littler are inevitable for any talented teenager, and that is a lot of pressure for a 16 year old. Still, hitting a perfect leg under the cameras at that age is a superb achievement. Self is clearly a name to remember

Is Archie Self the next big thing in darts? And is it fair to compare young players with Luke Littler?
