Wright is known for tinkering even mid game when he brings multiple sets onto the stage and speaking in a recent interview with the PDC, he believes the pressure also got to him during his World title year.
"I would definitely get a dart that suits him," added the Stoke great.
"Swapping and changing isn't doing him any favours, but he performs and he's a brilliant player.
"I think the pressure took its toll this year, I could see it in his eyes when he was playing. He was nervous and he was heartbroken when he walked off the stage, but it's something you have to learn.
"You have to go through this, sometimes knocking you down does you good because you get back up a bit stronger."
bit rich coming from Taylor , he's had about 15 phases of his darts out and you never saw him use the same set 2 world championships on the trot.
Taylor probably could have advised him to drop the ridiculous clown outfits too and take the game a bit more seriously.
yes, let's all watch 128 james wades throw arrows. or maybe not. wright is a character and a superb player. To be honest i've got very little interest in anything phil taylor has to say.

- The next prodigy (prodigies) are just round the corner. Wonder if it gets to the stage of 180 after 180 being hit leg after leg whether there will be a modification to the equipment such as reduced doubles and trebles, reduce the size of the board or length of the oche?Mysstree25-03-2025
- obviously littler has the potential to surpass everybody simply because nobody has been this good at this age before, but people who think he would be any kind of favourite right now against prime taylor in a big final have short memories. it's obvious that prime taylor wouldn't win as many world titles if he was playing today, but there's also good reason to believe he'd be winning more than anybody else. hell, his statistical profile still stands alone in darts history and he might statistically be even better if he was playing today with better equipment, larger beds, more competition therefore more motivation, etc.colt24-03-2025
