[@yosua0]

I think what's crazy to see is the difference in their throws at the end of the match when it gets more intense, while Kovacs starts really strong, he struggles to remain his calm and has way more spread and less accuracy in the end of the match, when pressure is on him, while it looks like Littler just improves over time and really starts throwing 180s when he is under pressure. I think this mentality is what makes him truly special at such a young age! 😳

"Szekely 'Blade' Pal is a hungarian pro darts player, he usually has 65-75 avg. In his career he threw a few 180s, his best checkout ever is 80, best performance ever is a 13 darter. His biggest win was in a local pub somewhere in a little village of east Hungary, he finished second behind a local alcoholic in a wheelchair. He is really proud of his performance, he said he could teach Luke Littler to be better player. Soon he will be a pensioner, but his future plan is to reach the PDC tour card. He threatened the hungarian crowd about his retirement if he couldn't reach the tour card (everybody was in shock after it)" via Wikipedia

It's a tournament for teenagers that I don't believe was even televised live. Of course it seems paltry now that the winner went on to earn at least 100 times that for his performance at the main World Championship, but to the average teenage darts player, that's a solid prize fund if you ask me.

[@duanedurkan3565]

Van Veen will win more than Littler long term in my opinion. Monk beat Van Gerwen but didn't progress like expected. I'm excited to see what Littler does because the sky is the limit but personally I think Van Veen will have a better career.

[@thadonis.]

Luke has the temperament and discipline that Monk never had. Future world champ imo. GVV looks like he will succumb to yip issues.

[@johngreenhorn8853]

Think Van Veen will be a cracking player but don't need to be a genuis to tell this guy is a future world champ he has everything.

[@duanedurkan3565]

@johngreenhorn8853 Time will tell. They were getting overly excited about Boom Boom Bennett aswell and he has gone backwards very quickly, although he does have time on his side to get back to form. Littler is very exciting, but it's too early to tell if he's going to be a top player. Obviously, he's a special but we'll have to see how he reacts when he comes under pressure in an important match or how he deals with technical issues that may arise with his action. I think Van Veen has a very reliable action that will hold up well under pressure. They're both great players. We'll just have to wait and see.

[@duanedurkan3565]

@thadonis3516 I think littler is more likely to get the yips. That's why I'm not convinced he'll progress the way people are expecting. He's got a very natural throw. He mightn't be able to come up with a solution if he suffers from technical issues. Van Veen has a lovely action. I think it'll stand up well to pressure. Monk is still a decent player but hadn't the gears to get to the very top.

[@johngreenhorn8853]

@duanedurkan3565 It's all about opinions funnily enough I goggled Leighton Bennett this morning as you said still has time on his side,thought he was a bit over hyped at the time good player as he was at the time,I just think Littler is defo the real deal,as you said it's all about opinions and only time will tell,I mean I won a steak pie in the Sunday darts comp in the pub once when I was a young lad and automatically thought I was the next world champ,I didn't transpire and I'm still gutted.
