Wright responds to Taylor's remarks on changing darts: "As long as I'm still competing for trophies then I'll keep on changing"
PDC
Phil Taylor spoke at the turn of the year telling Peter Wright to stop switching darts with 'Snakebite' being a known tinkerer of equipment.
Wright responded recently in a Darts World piece which saw Stephen Feeney who is an accuracy super-coach and Lee Huxtable from Red Dragon analysing this statement.
"Everyone has told me for years that I should just stop messing about changing my darts and that its bad for my game but at the end of the day it’s me that throws them," he said to Darts World.
"I see so many players on tour using the wrong darts for their throw, that maybe it’s them that should look at changing more? But as long as I’m competing for trophies and getting an edge then I’ll keep on changing”.
What does 16 time world champion Phil Taylor know about darts anyways.
I agree with Peter that many players have been playing with wrong darts and not changing them is bad but his approach is extreme as well. I assume he would achieve better results if he would not change them so often. From my onw experience I know what is the impact of a new darts especially with different thickness and if you play with worse than previous ones.

- 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
