One of the best matches I have ever watched. No doubt the best game this year

Mvg and peter wright matchplay also

[@itsjonsie6396]

@@kurtjappy No I didn't like that one to be honest. It was to one-sided cause wright was so good

[@kurtjappy]

@@itsjonsie6396 true but it was a glimps of vintage mvg. One mistake fro. Wright could've turned the match

[@gershen]

I'm sorry, but World Gran Prix final perfomance from Clayton was improbable, can argue with this tremendous match

So far*

[@marcelvandam7176]

Incredible to see how MVG managed to stay in the game while GP was averaging 120 in the first half of the match !

Great to see the sportsmanship at the end of the match.

@@blahblah6227 not really. He is always a gentleman if the opponents respect him.

[@Zarkava8]

Great to see MVG throwing something like he's capable of, been a while coming.

[@taffyducks544]

Easily the highest standard of darts I have seen in a very long time. Some times all you can do is hold your hands up and say I was beat by the better man on the night. Any other game on any other day and Gerwyn Price probably nils most other Players. Great match from both!

[@RG-ja34sep]

No question about it, MVG, Gerwyn Price and Peter Wright are the elite players of their generation! Love watching these guys play, it’s mind blowing how great they are! Gerwyn is often booed by some of the fans, but he handles it extremely well, and I love his passion and fierce competitive nature! I don’t believe he gets the respect that he truly deserves!

you can add smith to that list

I'm a Belgian but we love to see the Dutch play. Whether it's darts, football, or f1, reigning champion or not, they always come in swinging. Gotta love that!

[@Dosengemueschen]

Me as german adore both of your football clubs :D

[@Robkinggozer]

Appreciated! Honestly I was rooting for you guys in the last european and world cup football, such a class team and KdB is one of my fav players ever. Also great to see Belgian darts players rising.

[@banziiin2640]

what a great game. two machines playing great and being respectful! i loved it

[@thorfnase_iceman9999]

For the commentary at 13:07 Price has injured his left hand during his rugby career and can properly move like 2 or 3 fingers only on that hand. That's why he drops so many darts

[@chrisschick38]

Didn't know that. I've seen him drop plenty, thanks for the info.

[@TomMellorx]

I never actually knew that is that 100% true? I just thought he had a loose grip!

[@Thomas-gm3bd]

Im actually suprised the commentators didnt know that :D

[@thorfnase_iceman9999]

I mean I don't know Price personally but our German commentators tell that in about half of his matches so I guess it's the true reason

[@lazyworkaholic7011]

Was hard to fault either player, played in great spirit, from 2 heavyweights of the darting/sporting world. So many good dart players these days, its just a pleasure to watch. Look forward to every dart comp at present

[@chrisschick38]

Brilliant game. I'm all for more full games on PDC KZbin!

[@OzymandiasXIII]

Michael got the following right in this match: - timing of the release of his darts -slight upward angle of the darts upon release -not pushing the darts downwards with his fingers when he pulls the darts back. Thats why he reached this godlike level, like he was in his prime. You will notice that he hits more 180’s and got really good grouping.

[@jed_91]

Top anlising

[@ribletroblet]

Do you think he realizes this and has worked on it specifically or it is just happening?

[@OzymandiasXIII]

@@ribletroblet i hope his management reads this and passes the info on to him. So that he can be aware of mentioned points

[@sheanolen7830]

And he also took his time more. Several times I noticed him take a second to compose himself before he threw instead of just chucking his darts

[@MrFredl91]

only a 9 Darter could have been more epic. great game from both.

[@CorekBleedingHollow]

Love this announcer. One hundred and fortyyyyyy

Has to be one of the best games of darts for quality on both sides. U had that feeling that that the crowd knew they were witnessing a special match between 2 of the finest in today's game. Defo both in my top 5 along with anderson, Wright and Smith.

25:31 did MVG leave Price hanging? lol

[@williamgrafton4111]

Alan Warriner-Little said that Price thought it was the final leg. That's why Price was looking for a fist bump.

19 legs in under 30 minutes. Masters.

[@reinatycoon3644]

This was a great and entertaining match. Two great players, I wish I were as good as. I'm still a beginner at Darts. I've only accumulated ~20 hours of practice in the last 3 weeks. It takes me ~60 darts to circle the clock and I only have a 12% accuracy at hitting treble 20's so far. I at least have noticed a good deal of improvement. I use a basic Narwhal Kingston Dart Board and the cheapo green and red steel tip darts from super markets placed at pro regulation height while throwing from 7 feet 9 and a quarter inches away.

[@dsmith1888]

That's why you're not having much success. Buy a Winmau or Unicorn dartboard. Even their cheapest ones usually come with darts. It's not expensive, and you'll see a big difference compared to what you're using now.

[@d.natrop4495]

I started playing darts with humongous sized brass el cheapo la bomba's which were bigger then the bullshit coming out of Donald Trump's mouth. I threw my first 180 that same day. The thing that makes me never forget that day wasn't the 180 but how the hell all 3 of those humongous darts could somehow simultaneously fit in the same triple 20. That's how huge these things were. I eventually got to a point where the darts were starting to hold me back cause of their size and then i switched from brass to tungsten. The only improvement really was the better fit because of the thinner barrels. Anything else is just for finetuning or snake oil.

[@tewodrosshewangzaw5285]
