Luke Humphries warns Luke Littler over habit that could ‘come back to bite him’ ahead of Premier League Darts thesun.co.uk/sport/25591820… thesun.co.uk/sport/25591820…
"It will come back to bite you" - Luke Humphries gives Luke Littler important piece of advice
PDCWednesday, 31 January 2024 at 10:00
Luke Humphries has advised fellow darter Luke Littler to keep practising. Littler has indicated in several interviews that he has not put in the hours, despite reaching the final of the World Darts Championship in early January.
The lack of time on the practice board hasn't hindered Littler so far, he still made it to two finals on the World Series of Darts in recent weeks. At the Bahrain Darts Masters, 'The Nuke' took the title by beating Michael van Gerwen in the final. At the Dutch Darts Masters in Den Bosch, the roles were reversed, with Van Gerwen winning over Littler in the final match.
Humphries finds it remarkable that Littler had not practiced more. “I wasn't surprised by his performance but I was surprised he hadn't practised since the world final. You have to be careful in this game to put in enough effort. If you feel like you have got to the point in your game where you are great and you are not practising, it will come back to bite you,'' Humphries tells Sky Sports.
''It is important he stays dedicated and practises hard because that is a point in the game where you can lose yourself,'' continued Humphries, who then came up with an example. ''I know players who have done that, Michael Smith has openly admitted he didn't practise all last year then all of a sudden he lost his form. So, I feel like that is a massive point in your game you have to focus on."

- What a undignified way to bow out of the darts for the greatest darts player ever, absolutely the best. Nobody was as dedicated or committed or even half as good as Phil. He completely dominated darts, not only the greatest darts player ever but also one of the greatest sportsman ever. Ayrton Senna is my ultimate hero but Phil won 16 World Championships, Eric only won 5 and that won't be surpassed. Thank you Phil, not my most favourite player but certainly the greatest and loved watching you completely destroy every opponent, almost never missed a treble or any check out. Stoke definitely needs a statue of Phil Taylor !richieburnettrocks23-10-2024
- I don't have a problem with someone being whoever they want to be, but ultimately there is a Ladies and Mens format for a reason. What is going to stop substandard men claiming that they are transgender and entering the ladies format for an opportunity to increase their profile, prize money, ranking etc etc. We know that the current crop of PDC players will suck up to van Leuven and will not speak out.richieburnettrocks23-10-2024
- The bottom line is Beau will be a triple World Champion soon. She is so many levels better than the rest of the ladies. Lorraine and Aileen have never really raised their game, I really expected the quality of the ladies game to have improved but excluding Beau, it seems to have detiorated. Beau is too modest and could easily mix with the men and beat most of them.richieburnettrocks23-10-2024
