Jelle Klaasen is the latest signee to Unicorn joining the Japan Number 1, Seigo Asada who joined last week. Up to recently 'The Cobra' was signed to Monster Darts.
Klaasen believes joining one of the premier brands in the sport will be a huge boost to him in his career and will help him take his game to the next level.
“It is an honour for me to join Team Unicorn and it is a huge boost for me at this stage of my career.”
“There is no doubt in my mind that Unicorn will help me to take my game to a higher level and make everything I need to be a better player. I have some ideas and I can’t wait to get started with developing new darts.”
Klaasen’s immediate aim is to reclaim his place in the world’s top 16 after his 2017 season was wrecked by a long-standing wrist injury which required surgery.
“I have been practicing more and more with the new prototype darts from Unicorn. They are perfect for me. I couldn’t practice for a long time because of the injury. There are no shortcuts for a good and permanent recovery but I’m nearly there,” he added.
The extent of Klaasen’s problems became clear at the 2017 Premier League and corrective surgery on the wrist quickly followed.
But ‘The Cobra’ is determined to get back in the winner’s circle. “I know I can win tournaments and TV tournaments as well. My A game is good enough and I am working very hard on becoming more consistent. Unicorn will come up with the perfect darts, then it is up to me.”
