Peter Wright heads into the World Matchplay after another Super Series triumph but he has vowed to stick to his equipment after not performing well barring that.
Looking ahead to the World Matchplay, a return also to the Winter Gardens is what excites Wright after a year away in Milton Keynes.
"I'm looking forward to seeing how the guys who haven't played there before get on.
"The atmosphere there is absolutely brilliant, and just thinking about the building itself is making me excited.
"It took me a little while to get used to the World Matchplay, I found it daunting at first but I'm alright with it now, it's comfortable for me to play there."
