At the MODUS Super Series the African player Peter Wachiuri was playing and he showed some incredible shots. We already showed this 180 with his incredible throwing style and this he had this 48 checkout that should not be allowed.
Peter Wachiuri had 48 left and went straight for D12, D12 what an absolute madman

This reminds us of Erik Clarys, who also had a very unconventional approach to throwing finishes. While everyone else aimed for 100 for a triple 20, the Belgian chose to open with a triple 17, as a single 17 and triple 17 would leave him with his favorite double 16. Even though this meant he needed an extra dart to set up for the double, it became his trademark.
The African player Wachiuri has also adopted some of these unconventional routes, and the one above might be the most surprising. After all, who else would go for anything but a single 8 or double 16 from 48? Sure, Luke Littler might be an exception, but even the current world champion hasn’t been seen attempting such a move like the Kenyan King.
It seems that logic is no longer the primary reason for choosing a particular route these days. It’s more about feel and what you’re comfortable with. The double 10 and double 15 that Littler excels at are proof of this—though they may seem illogical to others, they are highly effective for him.
Wachiuri’s distinctive choices also led to a successful run in the MODUS Super Series, so this is a strategy he should continue to use. He’s now back home in Africa, and his achievements in England have not gone unnoticed there either.
He was welcomed like a hero and can no longer walk the streets without being recognized. There were even some great photos taken, which you can view here below.
