Over the last few years, darts brands have been releasing more and more products — faster than ever before.


In this episode, I share an honest, balanced take on what that means for:

• Players trying to choose the right darts

• Consumers dealing with confusion and rising costs

• Local dart shops forced to constantly refresh stock

• The wider darts ecosystem as a whole


This isn’t a rant, and it’s not aimed at one company.


It’s a genuine discussion about whether more really is better, or whether fewer, more meaningful releases would actually benefit players, shops, and the game itself.


I also ask a simple question:

👉 Would one major release per year (or every 6 months) be better for everyone?


Let me know your thoughts in the comments — I’m genuinely interested in where you stand.
