Michael van Gerwen recently signed a new manufacturer deal with Winmau Darts and he admitted there will be an adjustment period.

Van Gerwen spoke to RTL7 recently and said that it’s up to him to prove people’s doubts wrong in the coming months.

"Of course, people just want to have a topic to talk about. It is up to me to prove the contrary."

'Mighty Mike' is also realistic though and admits it won’t be easy. “I am certainly not going to hide that switching to a new brand of darts is always difficult. You get out of your comfort zone somewhere and the intention is of course to gain confidence in my new arrows as quickly as possible. ”

Van Gerwen has not yet made a definitive choice with which set of arrows he will throw. “I am still in the testing phase in which I am preparing for the new season. You will be able to see it during the Masters this weekend. "
