Peter Wright discussed new outfits during the latest episode of The Darts Show podcast but one aspect of his game that is also interchangable is his darts with 'Snakebite' known for his tinkering.

Wright said though that after the Super Series, he is set to stick to one set of darts and will try to use them during the next lot of ProTours and the World Matchplay.

"I'd got rid of all my darts barring the set I used and I've just got to try and stick with them until at least after Blackpool. That's my target that I've got to try and do, it's very hard.

"I'm already changing flights and stems, I think the trick maybe is not pick them up until the next tournament but you need to practice to be fair with the standard the way it is at the moment."

His World Championship darts get thrown about a lot as his best set but for 'Snakebite', he has a reason why he doesn't use them.

"They don't work on the floor. People got too close to me, I was winning 6-4, 6-5 to win that tournament with them on the floor. They're hard work."

Premier League with no crowd and return to Winter Gardens

Also he discussed the Premier League with no crowd and how that felt for 'Snakebite' who is known as a fans' favourite and having to combat the lack of fans.

"There were no butterflies. You just feel like I'm playing in my own room. It's stale from my point of view. I just couldn't get my head around it. Other players dealt with it well but I didn't.

With a stark contrast going into the return to Blackpool for the World Matchplay which could see near full capacity once more in the historic venue.

"I'm looking forward to Blackpool. Milton Keynes have done a brilliant job putting us up and had the tournaments there and everything but nothing beats Blackpool, playing on that stage. It's great, so to be back there with a crowd is going to be amazing."
