In the high-stakes world of professional darts, where nerve, precision and mental steel count for everything, there is a new name dominating the women’s game — and now it’s been picked apart by one of the sport’s biggest trailblazers. According to Fallon Sherrock, the reason Beau Greaves stands head-and-shoulders above her female peers isn’t just raw talent — it comes down to one key difference: consistency.
Sherrock, who broke new ground by becoming the first woman to beat a man at the PDC World Darts Championship, has watched Greaves’ meteoric rise in awe. She described how younger players often show glimpses of brilliance — big scores, flashy legs, high averages — but “never stuck to it”. Greaves, by contrast, has made excellence her baseline. “Not as consistent, no,” Sherrock said. “They never had the consistency and never stuck to it. Whereas Beau’s always been that good, and now she’s had the consistency in doing it on a regular basis … you can see why she’s the number one [in the women’s game].”
What does that look like in practice? Greaves is currently tearing up the ledger: her winning streak on the women’s circuit has climbed to 72 consecutive matches, and she recently captured 11 straight tournament titles. Style, skill and confidence all matter — but Sherrock insists it’s the day-in, day-out grinding that sets Greaves apart. Where others marked their peaks and faded, Greaves has turned the peak into the plateau.
The psychological impact on the field has been seismic. Sherrock even noted that when Greaves walks onto the oche now, opponents step up, hitting averages of 90+ in desperation to topple the “player to beat”. That tells you: she’s not just winning, she’s forcing the rest of the field to raise their game in response.
And the timing could not be more crucial. Greaves has accepted a two-year tour card with the Professional Darts Corporation starting in 2026, moving beyond women’s events into the professional ranks. Sherrock, on the other hand, has battled health issues and is considering a break next year — making the baton pass from one generation to the next feel very real.
In short: Greaves is redefining the bar. She’s showing that elite women’s darts isn’t just about big moments — it’s about relentless control, unwavering focus and the kind of consistency that turns “rival” into “benchmark”. And as Sherrock admits openly, that alone makes the difference.
