"He's playing the best darts of his life" - Stephen Bunting on the verge of major success believes Glen Durrant

Stephen Bunting has been consistently throwing some top-quality darts in recent months. Given this fact, 'the Bullet' is considered by many a dark horse for victory at the upcoming Grand Slam of Darts.
One of these high-profile backers, is former three-time Lakeside champion, Glen Durrant. "I think he's playing the best darts of his life," says 'Duzza' to Sky Sports, crediting Bunting's switch of arrows with the rise in his performance levels. "He's gone up from 12 grams to 18 grams. His old darts were unique, no one else threw such light darts."
Although Bunting is a four-time major semi-finalist in the PDC, the former Lakeside champion has never managed to reach a big final. This may not remain the case much longer though according to Durrant.
"He just looks really good and I think he's knocking on the door of something big. He's gone from that jovial character to a real contender now and like I said I think he's knocking on the door, he's a name to watch."

- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024

- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
