🗣️ "I've only brought FOUR sets of darts with me!" 👀 Mark Webster sat down with Peter Wright ahead of the New Zealand Darts Masters, as the tungsten tinkerer gives us an insight into his equipment for the next two events...
"I'm not worried about it at all" - Wright unconcerned by lack of form as he looks to defend prize money heading into decisive part of the season

Peter Wright is back in action for the first time since his disappointing second-round exit at the World Matchplay this weekend, competing at the New Zealand Darts Masters on the World Series of Darts.
"I missed last year because of my operation, getting my gall bladder removed," Wright tells Mark Webster in an interview for the PDC. "I've had time off, obviously exited the Matchplay early so I've had more time on the practice board."
Despite the disappointment of the World Matchplay and a relatively quiet year by his own lofty standards, Wright remains confident as he heads Down Under. "I think the form is pretty good," he declares defiantly. As always with Wright though, there has been some tinkering with his set-up.
"I've gone for solid flights so I don't get any robin hoods, been practising with them and I've gone for a longer point. Longer point, longer stem and a solid flight," 'Snakebite explains. "I've brought four sets of darts! One's like Simon Whitock's like I started against Ryan Searle (at the World Matchplay e.d.) I was hitting everything with them in practice but they wouldn't work on stage."

Heading into a busy part of the year, Wright is defending a lot of prize money on the PDC Order of Merit. A few more early round defeats could see him drastically slip down the world rankings.
"I'm not worried about it at all for the rest of the season because I'm going to every tournament now," Wright answers however. "Whereas at the beginning of the season I thought I'd pick and choose. Obviously that doesn't work for me, I need to be at every tournament.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
