Three-times world champion Van Gerwen has revealed he was offered the chance to play an exhibition event against a Cumbernauld kid, Luke Littler. However, Littler will have to wait for his shot at the Dutch master. Van Gerwen advised Littler, who is seven years younger than 17-year-old prodigy, to play on a full-length oche with the board at its full height to prepare for competing at adult tournaments.
Van Gerwen emphasized the importance for young players to enjoy the sport as they get older and highlighted the value of making mistakes and learning from them. Van Gerwen expressed his support for the next generation in darts, remarking on the increasing youth presence in the Premier League and the shift from playing in pubs to competing in larger venues in front of global audiences. Setting a personal goal of ten world championships, he acknowledged the breaking of Phil Taylor’s record and the inevitability of records being surpassed in sports.
In another context, the 26mm Black Swiss Point, featuring Swiss Point Technology, was highlighted for its easy point switching and sleek integration with the barrel. The dart set, worn and endorsed by Luke Littler, was described as the ideal gear for his supporters. The shirt’s velvet-lined interior was praised for protecting the darts, and the Takoma Darts Wallet, with zip-locked pouch pockets, was detailed as a versatile and organized storage solution for dart essentials.
The products were priced at £16.95 from Target Darts.
