Taylor's lifetime average from 774 matches in which it was recorded is 101.28 , the highest of any player.[14]

See also: Nine-dart finish
Taylor has supplemented his accomplishments in televised tournaments by frequently achieving the perfect leg of darts- a nine-dart finish . The first time he achieved this was at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool , against Chris Mason in the televised World Matchplay Championship in 2002.[15] He has achieved the feat 11 times on television (and 22 times overall), including four times in the UK Open at the Reebok Stadium , Bolton (2004, 2005, 2007, and 2008).
On 24 May 2010, in the final of the 2010 PDC Whyte & Mackay Premier League , Taylor became the first player in professional darts to hit two nine-dart finishes in a single match.[9]
