Barrel： TIGA Fusion Dumdum 36 2BA Boris Krcmar Model
Shaft： Fit Shaft Carbon Normal Pearl White No.5
Flight： Fit Flight AIR Super Shape
Tip： Fit Point Plus
※Why do you use darts with these settings?
Since I am using 4 fingers to hold the darts, I need a little bit longer barrel(45mm) to meet my stroke movement. I like to use longer settings in the overall configuration as the flight path of darts are much beautiful than when using short barrel. About the shape of the darts I choose “super shape” which is a bit smaller than “shape” as I can control the speed of the flight much easier.

Shoot out.
Because I can practice defferent targets through that game.

Triple 18
Perhaps it is due to being left-handed, hit rate on Tirple 18 is particularly high.
◆Throwing movie vol.1◆
◆About his darts career◆
1.Why you started to play darts?
I started it when I was brought to darts shop and play darts by my university classmate. Perhaps due to my past experience of being a baseball player, my progress of improving at playing darts is fast.
2.What is the best part of playing darts
The best part will be hitting the target with a smooth stroking movement. It gives me a great sense of accomplishment. It makes me wish to continue to obtain this kind of sensation.
3.The most impressive thing in your darts career
That will be the first time when I go oversea which is as the representative player of my country at Hong Kong’s International Competition (ADA). Competing with star players which are normally only seen on TV made me felt extremely nervous but at the same time I get to learn a lot of new techniques.
4. What is the biggest difficulty you faced ever and how you overcame that difficulty?
It will be the inability to remember the best stroke I have done which is kind of frustrating. To overcome that, I will pour lots of my time into practice and even sacrifice my sleeping time to make the best stroke into a habit.
5.Your future goal of darts
I hope I will have the chance to step on darts’ biggest stage, PDC!!
