A number of the biggest names in the sport are under the banner of Target Darts. In a recent video posted to their social media account however, some of those top pros were hilariously pranked by the company.

The duos of both Irish talent Keane Barry and World Darts Championship semi-finalist Scott Williams, plus former World Matchplay champion Nathan Aspinall and former world champion Rob Cross were given some 'new products' to test out by Target, including such things as an optical health test titled "Chopsticks and Marbles", where the players are tasked with picking out all the green and red marbles from a colourful bowl, only using a pair of chopsticks. "I have to say, I can definitely understand with the concentration side of it," Cross comments with hilarious innocence.
Other items on the menu include such products as LED Glasses that supposedly make the doubles and trebles on the board look bigger. "To be fair, it definitely makes a difference," says Aspinall, with Cross adding straight faced: "It really does! It makes it look bigger and I look intelligent now, I must do."
