World Matchplay Tungsten Dart Day FiveⅠ

Taylor remains on course to claim his eighth successive, and 16th overall, World Matchplay title following a rollercoaster 13-6 win over Stoke rival Hamilton.

However, the game was almost crowned with Taylor's third Winter Gardens nine-darter as the Stoke legend began the fourth leg with two 180s and then hit a seventh treble 20 and the treble 19 on the 141 combination.

Unlike his quarter-final against Chris Mason in 2002 and last year's second round against Michael Smith, Taylor this time pulled his dart at double 12 inside his intended target - and went on to lose the leg as Hamilton finished an 11-darter of his own.

That squared the contest at two-all, despite Taylor having opened with an 11-dart finish as he led 2-0, though the world number two responded to win four legs without reply in 15, 15, 13 and 13 darts to move 6-2 up.

Two misses at double 16 in the ninth leg, though, allowed Hamilton to hit back and the two-time Blackpool semi-finalist then took the next three to level the contest at six-all as Taylor suffered further double trouble.

The 13th leg, though, proved decisive as Hamilton missed three darts at doubles across two visits to move in front, allowing Taylor to post a third-dart double six to move 7-6 up.

Legs of 13 and 11 darts moved him clear and he followed up a double 16 finish with another 11-darter to lead 11-6, before hitting double 16 and double ten to take the run to seven successive legs in sealing his quarter-final place.

Taylor now takes on Chisnall in Friday's quarter-finals in a repeat of the 2013 World Grand Prix and 2014 Grand Slam of Darts finals, with the St Helens ace having edged out World Youth Champion Keegan Brown 13-11 in a thriller.

As for professional game of dart, we recommend tungsten dart, tungsten is an extremely dense metal. It is also very durable, so a high-density tungsten dart resists wear and the knurling will last much longer.
