But the 52-year-old believes he has finally found a set of darts that work for him after working closely with manufacturer Red Dragon.
“It’s really special, my whole design,” Wright said Online darts television his new darts. “It feels like it’s a glove, they feel weird. I will not change this dart for at least another six months.
“I need to find the right length of glasses or, if I need long stems, things like that. But the setup with the standard point seems to be going very well. They feel amazing.
“As I say, it’s like a glove, it’s the best dart I’ve ever felt. Be careful! Because like I won the playoff game last year, I could have won easier with these, they’re so good. ”
