Colin Lloyd on the recent Darts Show podcast assessed his struggles and admitted that it is the tinkering which could be the issue with a new set of darts being used most weekends by 'Snakebite'.

"We've spoken about it many times before. That's what Peter Wright does. He keeps proving us, other darts players and the fans wrong over and over again, by keep chopping and changing his equipment. That's just what he does."

"I personally don't like keep chopping and changing. Tinker around with little things, but he changes barrels, flights, stems, he changes the whole shebang.

"But like we said, it works for him a whole lot of the time. It just didn't work for him at the UK Open."
