Bulls Mike de Decker Steel Dart

Product Information

The stats suggest there’s not a great deal in this one too and although I could see this potentially going all the way I’ve been seriously impressed by the Aussie and think he’ll prevail here. Top seed Luke Humphries will be among the stars in action, alongside World Champion Michael Smith, Michael van Gerwen and Gerwyn Price.

He played very well in that tournament, defeating European champion Ross Smith 5-4 in his opener before losing to Michael Van Gerwen in his second game. He then lost his crunch third game of the group to Nathan Rafferty 5-4 despite averaging 101.26. These short format games can be brutal at times. Tour Card Holder Qualifiers for ET5-6 will be played on Monday March 13 at the Barnsley Metrodome, with entries for both events also available below. Smith is a student of the game, admitting he analyses both his own and his opponents statistics and I like that. He identified areas of strengths and weaknesses in his opponents last year and knows what he must do and/or take advantage of if he’s to advance.

Matt Campbell (1/2) vs Danny Baggish (6/4) (R1)

Odds to win the quarter: Price 5/4, Aspinall 3/1, Noppert 8/1, Ratajski 12/1, Wade 12/1, Schindler 14/1, Van Barneveld 14/1, Bunting 14/1 The seasonal stats favour Aspinall and at times, when he finds his rhythm his maximum hitting is unbelievable. He should have too much in this one despite admitting he sometimes switches off in matches. Across all three events this past week, he averaged over 100 in 13 of his 18 matches - including five between 107 and 112 - and he's desperate to land this title for the first time. Smith missed a dart at bullseye for a showstopping 170 finish and when Barney failed to take out 157, Bully Boy took out 25 in two darts for the narrowest of victories MVG too good for Ashton He's reached the Last 16 on the European Tour twice this year and on all known evidence he should have way too much for his Ukrainian opponent here to set up a second round tie against the number one seed Gerwyn Price.

Although we know all about his timing and how he continually defies his lower than par averages compared to everyone else to stay in the world's top 10, it always feels a risk siding with him when he's a short-priced favourite. Vladyslav Omelchenko came through the Ukrainian qualifying event to seal a first appearance at the World Championship. He averaged 76.42 in the final to win 3-0 and averaged 69.97 for the tournament so he’ll have to up that considerably if he’s to trouble Luke Woodhouse on Sunday afternoon. The Belgian came through three deciding-leg ties in his opening four matches, edging out second seed Luke Humphries after dispatching Luc Peters with a ton-topping average. Since then however it’s been first round exits at the World Matchplay, the three World Series events Down Under, World Grand Prix, European Championship, Grand Slam of Darts and the Players Championship Finals.I just could not shake Chizzy off. What a player he is. If he finds this form on a TV stage he will win one, and he’s a player that deserves to win one.” The pair of them are firing on all cylinders when it comes to 180s too, with maximum per leg ratios around the 0.35 mark. If this is a close encounter, which I expect, then they could comfortably combine to hit the most 180s in the session. Humphries looked poised to triumph at the MVM Dome after moving 7-5 ahead with his first big stage nine-darter – the first on the European Tour since Chisnall’s perfect leg at last year’s Belgian Darts Open.

You’ve got the best of the best coming through now and it’s hard. Even these players that haven’t won titles, they are still so dangerous and you have to do your job. I just love winning,” reflected Cross, who moves further clear of Luke Humphries in the race to represent England alongside Michael Smith at next month’s World Cup of Darts. The most entertaining part of Cameron Menzies' debut 3-1 victory over Diogo Portela was his range of exasperated facial expressions.The BULL’S Darts Mats collection features the innovative Oky system. This ingenious creation is an adjustable oche made of steel that can simply be placed on all darts mats to give players a professional-like setup at home, replicating a typical throw line that would be seen in tournaments. This is quite some match to be featuring on a Sunday afternoon card and it’s the former two time world champion who starts the match as underdog. Players Championships 5-6 will be held on March 11-12 at the Barnsley Metrodome, and will be broadcast live on PDCTV.

Gerwyn Price averaged over 104 in an impressive 6-3 victory over Ross Smith and Dave Chisnall also topped three-figures to beat UK Open hero Andrew Gilding 6-2. I’ve missed lots of opportunities [in the past] and you can’t do that at this level, but I’m going to carry on and keep believing. I will win one!” Smith took the opening leg, but found doubles hard to come by and could only look on as 2012 champion Barney pinned his first two darts at double for finishes of 122 and 86 and a 2-1 lead. If he's around that level again then Danny Jansen will struggle to even win a set, especially when you bare in mind the debutant averaged just 83.42 in a hard-fought win over Paulo Nebrida - but that was some way short of his best.Van Gerwen averaged 101 in his opening round tie against Boris Krcmar, but he was edged out in a deciding-leg by the Croatian, while Jonny Clayton and Gary Anderson also suffered first round exits. Odds to win the quarter: Humphries 2/1, Chisnall 10/3, Wright 7/2, Heta 6/1, Searle 17/2, Gurney 12/1, Clemens 16/1, Woodhouse 40/1 The pendulum swung yet again as Chisnall won consecutive legs to force a decider, and he sealed the deal via double 16, but only after Humphries had missed double 12 for another incredible 141 finish.
