Michael Smith excited after move to darts manufacturer Shot Darts: ''Let’s create a perfect team and start bringing the titles home"

Last week, it was announced that Michael Smith had signed a contract with darts manufacturer Shot Darts after a 10-year during partnership with Unicorn Darts came to an end.
During his time with Unicorn, Smith won 16 ranking titles, including the World Darts Championship. In addition, the Englishman won two World Series titles, including a historic triumph at the US Darts Masters at Madison Square Garden in 2022.
Via Facebook, Smith came forward with further explanations about his move to Shot Darts. In doing so, 'Bullyboy' revealed that talks of a transfer had been ongoing for some time.
"Two years ago, I was sent a proposal from my manager (Mark) about a meeting with a new darts company who was interested in signing me to their brand/family. We set the zoom call up and just chatted away for a hour." Smith began his story.
''This was on a weekly basis, and more and more we spoke to Peter and his team with the vision and passion he was showing me, I instantly fell in love with his passion and wanted to be part of it. These zoom calls carried on until the present and the passion still hasn’t left. He’s made me feel important and special, even 2 years ago when I was yet again another runner up."
''I saw that Shot's and my own vision was the same and we just took off, working at the weird hours having the time difference but it didn’t matter. We were eager to get something amazing done."
"Here’s to the next chapter in my career and also Shot's expansion. Let’s create a perfect team and start bringing the titles home." Smith concluded.

- 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
