After a few weeks of mixed results, I’ve decided it’s time to shake things up and try something different with my setup.
My trusty Mervyn King darts have served me well for a long time, and they suit my grip nicely, but recently I’ve noticed I tend to slice the darts, causing them to land at an awkward angle. It’s been bugging me for a while, and I think it’s time for a reset.
So, I’ve gone back to an older set of Michael van Gerwen 22-gram darts,and so far, they feel much straighter and cleaner out of the hand. It might just be psychological at this stage, but they seem to fly better for my current throw. I’m also sticking with my K-Flex stems, which I’ve really grown comfortable with over the past couple of years.
I’ll only be taking this setup to Wednesday’s tournament, partly to stop myself swapping darts mid-event, which I’ve been guilty of in the past! For now, the plan is to commit fully and see how they feel under proper match conditions.
Oh, and yes they do look a bit ugly, so need to order some new K Flex in black or green!
