Michael Smith has got the smoothest throw

[@martynreed9811]

I Concur, Smith and Humphries throw like silk

[@ntnnot]

@@martynreed9811 plus van Barneveld

[@FrankBoston]

Yeah...Van Barneveld is dreamy too. His effortless throw reminds me of Freddy Couples swing.

[@bendybruce]

There's something about watching darts that I find both compelling and calmingly therapeutic at the same time. I think maybe it's the incredible focus of the players and you almost feel like you need to be as concentrated as they are. Whatever it is I love it.

[@markbellew4194]

Get a board and have a throw...its class

[@jw6968]

Yes Nath! Can't believe Humphries missed three at double 2 to go 5-1 up, what a turnaround from there for The Asp. Side note @Professional Darts Corporation, would love to see you extend these clips by 30 seconds and capture some of the celebration and aftermath, they finish almost immediately after the last dart.

[@jw6968]

Oh also, would love you to try and avoid any spoilers in the title, being in Australia, I can't really watch live.

I agree with everything this bloke said here, both the celebrations need to be shown, and also no spoilers in the title or thumbnail would be great.

Years ago at Manchester service station I could not find my bank card for love nor money when I was at the checkout. The guy behind me insisted to pay for all my stuff without any hesitation, that bloke was Nathan Aspinall. The most genuine down to earth bloke you could meet. Delighted he is doing so well as he deserves it all.

I would love to see Peter Wright get back on his feet again. Every week I hope that he just has that incredible underdog run to win but its just not working out at all for him. Such a shame. But he will always be one of my favorites.

[@dazuk1969]

Same, he has had some poor games like last night but also played really well some weeks and still lost. I hope things go his way a bit more in the remaining weeks.

[@shauntaylor9251]

He has a really odd throw these days , seems to twist from the waist as he lets go of the dart . That can't be good for accuracy at all

[@MikeLuke]

What an incredible season this year: 6 world champions, the crazy young gun Littler and everybody‘s darling Nathan playing his best darts.

[@TheSilverSurfer1949]

Michael Smith is the coolest when he throws. He computes the sequence in a split second. 🎯🎯🎯

[@abbiefoster5787]

Over the moon for you top man 👍💙💙

[@bobstirling6885]

Why is the camerawork still so appalling??

[@terencemeikle534]

It's not so much the camera operators' fault as the director's: the director has to make split-second decisions on which camera to go to for a particular shot, and if a 'big number' gets missed by the player, then the director has either to be hot at the maths, or opt for a 'whole board' camera shot. Also, there is the 'spotter', usually a mathematically able former player, eg. Keith Deller, who is there behind the scenes to work things out, lightning-quick, for the commentators, if need be. Mistakes, however, are inevitable, particularly with fast players like Humphries, Smith, Littler, etc.

[@bobstirling6885]

@@terencemeikle534 bit of both really as the camera is often searching for the zone....but I sort of include the whole package when I say camerawork as its the combination of several cameras and the director.

A fan favorite/journeyman on a bit of a downfall. I cheer for him every week

[@MansonLamps]

Theres 5 players going for 4 spots in reality. 6 points seperating all 5. I think 28 points might be the safety zone. 2 lukes need 1 more win each to hit 28 points.smith needs a nightly win to force his way into it and make it a crazy final few nights. Because of Cross,Wright and Price not scoring much all the points are being clained by the top 5 so defo 24 points will not be enough this year. Its all down to Smith to make a late charge and get the 4 boys above his papping it. Every time smith plays littler his game is on point then his level drops off.littler was pants tonight. Think smiths in his head,same way as hes in humphries.
