Michael Van Gerwen Wins World Tungsten Darts Matchplay: What Did We Learn? Ⅰ

'Mighty Mike' simply rocked in Blackpool as he added to his UK Open and Dubai Masters titles and banished painful memories of his crushing final defeat to Phil Taylor a year earlier.

Van Gerwen romped to an 18-12 victory over James Wade with a stand-out performance at the famous Winter Gardens, but it wasn't the only display which caught the eye over nine days of competition in lovely Lancashire.

Here, we look back at what we learned from the tournament, which alongside the World Championship and Premier League forms the Triple Crown of darts.

Tears no fears for Michael van Gerwen

A year after crying in despair following an 18-9 defeat against 'The Power', Michael van Gerwen wanted to prove a point in Blackpool from day one.

The Dutchman began his campaign by dismissing compatriot Benito van de Pas before crushing Jamie Lewis with a blizzard of blistering darts for the loss of just two legs in the next round. He also recorded the fourth highest average in the history of the World Matchplay with 110.93.

As for professional game of darts, we recommend tungsten darts, tungsten is an extremely dense metal. It is also very durable, so a high-density tungsten dart resists wear and the knurling will last much longer.
