Gerwyn Price

[The Lone Gunman]

Another 9-darter for Gerwyn Price this evening in the World Matchplay semis. That’s four 9-darters from the Welshman in major televised tournaments this year. Phenomenal stuff.

The way he’s taken his game to the next level is really impressive.

This may sound daft, but I think the lockdowns helped Price. He was building a career as a pantomime villain, the man they love to hate, but playing without crowds seemed to rein him in a little.

He seems so much more focused on the game itself these days, and he’s all the better for it. Incredible player when he’s on top form. I wasn’t a fan a couple of years ago, but I’m a big fan now.

The commentators mentioned Price had joined a group of three with your above stat. Were the other two Taylor and MVG?

I think the stat was that he became the third player to have hit 9-darters in the World Championships, the World Matchplay and the Premier League. The other two were Taylor and Van Barneveld.

Re: Gerwyn Price

Hopefully he hasn't peaked too soon and can get the job done tomorrow. Don't think either of MVG or Van Den Bergh are looking anywhere near as good as he has thus far.

Yeah good points mate, gave him time to focus on the darts rather than playing up.

Thanks.
I think the crowd are warming to him too.

Undoubtedly.
I particularly like the way he turns the negativity of the crowd into positive energy and produces sublime darts.

All crowds in any sport have their favourites but will recognise special players.
In the world of darts, Gezzy is one such player.

There may well be at least one or two darts fans on here who would probably disagree though, noticeable by their silence thus far

Re: Gerwyn Price

Earlier on in his career he had that spat with Gary Anderson on stage and that seemed to cement his position as a bit of a villain. No doubt he played up to it a bit,but yes more recently crowds have grown to appreciate his talent and he gets much more acknowledgement from the crowd because of it.
