Phil Taylor has made a successful trip to soft-tip darts. The 16-time world champion steel-tip reached the final of DartsLive Super Darts in Tokyo on Friday.
'The Power' started with a 3-1 victory over Alex Reyes, before Harith Lim also were beaten. In the semi-final Taylor Shuichi Enokuma easily with 3-0.
On the other side of the schedule Haruki Muramatsu and Paul Lim managed to reach the last four. The match was won by the Japanese 3-2. After an exciting final, Muramatsu took the victory. Taylor managed to win three games, but was not able to win the final game.
A soft-tip match consists of two parts. Twice a leg from 701 and two games of cricket. When a fifth game has to make the decision, throwing on the bull determines who can choose the last game and who can start.

- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- It happens. Remember, anyone who has watched German and Dutch players in matches - their respective countries will have seen/heard just as bad jeering (if not worse). Taylor and MVG are two prime examples of professionals who are able to cope with the crowds mentally and not take it personally. This is not just an English crowd problem, FFS.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
