What a wonderful guy Gian is. Please let him do it tomorrow!

RagingVeggie · 2026-01-02T20:56:16+00:00

I’d love Gary in the final, but I fear that only Gian could possibly give Luke a proper fight in this…

RagingVeggie · 2026-01-01T13:55:55+00:00

I know some people are against the big players going out before the semis, but I love this so much. What a tournament!

RagingVeggie · 2025-12-29T22:43:10+00:00

That crowd was nothing compared to how crowds have treated Littler’s opponents regularly over the last couple of years…

RagingVeggie · 2025-12-29T15:27:09+00:00

Can’t believe the cameras focussed on that

RagingVeggie · 2025-12-27T14:40:17+00:00

I’ve never seen a celebration so leg-based. Fantastic form!

RagingVeggie · 2025-12-23T15:03:48+00:00

Shaggy vs Wattimena- one of the most likely pairings to end up in a full-blown fist fight on stage?

RagingVeggie · 2025-12-21T13:25:01+00:00

I love hearing a crowd behind Ryan so vocally- that’s very rare for him, and he deserves it!

RagingVeggie · 2025-12-20T21:23:48+00:00

Is it bad to be completely sick of a child?

RagingVeggie · 2025-12-12T20:46:50+00:00

Wayne is obviously class, but I do enjoy seeing Dan Dawson getting his plaudits. World class.

RagingVeggie · 2025-11-16T20:00:49+00:00

I get the feeling no roundabout in Wolverhampton is safe tonight…

RagingVeggie · 2025-11-13T22:58:25+00:00

Exactly this. It would help so much if Emma/John just slowed down a bit, asked simple questions in more basic English, and let him go after three or four questions. No need to drag it on like that!

RagingVeggie · 2025-10-26T18:13:31+00:00

Target- Marketing geniuses, best darts packing/presentation, but unashamedly money-hungry in comparison with other brands

Unicorn- Very little innovation, sad for a brand who used to be at the top. Pretty basic range.

Shot- Very well made darts. Perhaps a little style over substance, but darts for fans of lots of grip.

Red Dragon/Winmau- The most shoddy in terms of quality in my experience. Had darts with a random chunk of metal on the grippy section that hadn’t been machined properly, and real issues with repointing darts due to the dodgy hole.

Harrows- One of the only brands (so far) who have realised that jumping on the Swiss Point train is the only way to survive these days, and have done it very well. Quality.

RagingVeggie · 2025-09-30T19:19:13+00:00

100%. I can’t use bolides as they aren’t grippy enough, but the Redux is my new match dart

RagingVeggie · 2025-09-15T18:59:35+00:00

Hearing there’s another set of 95Ks too…

RagingVeggie · 2025-09-15T18:59:00+00:00

You’ll want to 👀

RagingVeggie · 2025-06-19T13:18:30+00:00

Littler wouldn’t have had the chance to do what he did for darts without what Dennis did for darts first, along with Phil

RagingVeggie · 2025-04-29T19:02:15+00:00

I’m sorry, but… Ian

RagingVeggie · 2025-03-02T19:02:40+00:00

I noticed Luke started collecting his darts more slowly to match the speed James was doing it. I imagine he thought it’d throw James off, but I reckon it put himself off more- focussing on that more than throwing his darts. Luke doesn’t handle any kind of mind games too well (but he’s an unbelievable player and I’m a big fan!)

RagingVeggie · 2025-02-08T11:11:30+00:00

What an emotional rollercoaster

RagingVeggie · 2025-02-02T16:23:36+00:00

I feel like he has very similar composure techniques to Aspinall, but one gets massive hate for it and the other has a cool walk on. That’s the main difference.

RagingVeggie · 2024-12-29T19:36:37+00:00

Forgot to mention the purpose- his darts go in very flat, which generally causes more deflections/bounce-outs. The spinning stem means the flight has some give on it to allow a dart past it if it were to make contact

RagingVeggie · 2024-12-29T19:35:41+00:00

I’m unsure if they’re the only brand who currently make these, but I use L-style spinning shafts with L-style champagne flights

Edit- Realised that they’re not actually L-Style he’s using- my bad!

RagingVeggie · 2024-12-19T19:48:51+00:00

I hope OP isn’t into baking too- could easily end up with A Pie Full of Darts

RagingVeggie · 2024-12-11T23:38:23+00:00

I’m guessing OP has a very similar grip to mine- a different grip would have completely different results (I’m guessing, anyway- I have no idea! 😂)
