Van Gerwen set to ditch usual darts at The Masters: “I can feel now they're starting to be worn out a bit”

The Masters is usually a time for tinkering and using new equipment and this time around, Michael van Gerwen will also be using new darts.
This time last year Van Gerwen switched to Winmau but soon returned to his usual darts after poor results but he revealed that they are ‘worn out’ and that it’s time for change.
"It's been a longer break than I'm used to but I've not been sitting still. I've been to Winmau [Van Gerwen's darts manufacturer] and we've been busy producing some new darts for me," Van Gerwen explained to the PDC.
"I've got so many good memories with my old darts but I can feel now they're starting to be worn out a bit.
"You need to make the right choice for yourself and move to another dart. I think The Masters is a nice tournament to try out my new darts.
"I can throw with any dart but you need to feel comfortable with it.
"I tried to do it last year but it didn't work out as I wanted. I take the blame for that and I need to make sure it doesn't happen this year."
Fresh start
It’s overall a fresh start for Mighty Mike with the now former World Number One only looking forward.
"Last year is gone. You always need to look to the future and make sure you're ready for the new season," Van Gerwen continued.
"The Masters is a nice tournament to start the year. It's not ranked but it's still an important one to see where you stand at that moment.
"The Masters has all the top players in a nice format so it's something for everyone to look forward to.
"The break has given me time to prepare and make sure I start of the season well."
