Luke Humphries has won five titles so far this season including four on the European Tour which he will return to this weekend with the Hungarian Darts Trophy in Budapest and he spoke about opening the floodgates as the titles keep flowing.
"I've made six finals this year and won five of them, whereas last year I made four and lost them all. This season has been better than I could've imagined," he said to BBC Radio Berkshire.
"The difference is I've managed to turn those runner-up medals into wins. It's winning titles and not losing them that separates you from the best.
"When you haven't won a senior tournament it gets harder and harder because you start to doubt yourself.
"But once you get that first win you know you can do it and you're full of confidence and belief."
Toppling the likes of Michael van Gerwen multiple times this season, he said he gets confidence every time he beats a big name.
"In my opinion van Gerwen is the best player in the world and I've beaten him three times this year," Humphries added.
"Those big wins against big players just shows my potential and the calibre of the darts I'm playing at the moment.
"Experience definitely helps ease the pressure at major events and I hope to win a world title eventually but you have to be realistic it's not going to happen just because you're in good form.
"It's one of the hardest things to do in this sport but I believe I can get to the final at Alexandra Palace at the end of the year and that's the most important thing - if you don't believe in yourself then you've got no chance."
