Phil Taylor recently attended the 2025 Target Launch, where he shared his insights on the new innovations in darts.

What happened at the Target Launch?

The Power was impressed by the new products and innovations, praising Garry Plummer and his team for their work.
He noted that the atmosphere was relaxed, with everyone enjoying themselves, even Raymond van Barneveld.

Who impressed Phil Taylor?

Taylor was not surprised by Michael van Gerwen's win at the World Series of Darts Finals, but he did mention Josh Rock as a talented player to watch.
He had a chance to talk to Rock and believes he has a lot of potential, especially if he can handle the pressure and noise of the crowd.

What about the 2026 Premier League lineup?

Taylor picked Josh Rock, Stephen Bunting, and Chris Dobey as his top choices for the lineup, also mentioning Nathan Aspinall as a favorite player.
He thinks Rock has a good chance of doing well, especially if he can improve his game and handle the doubles.

What's next for Adrian Lewis?

Adrian Lewis has taken a hiatus from the sport, but Taylor is glad to see him back on the oche, and he wishes him well in his return.
Taylor and Lewis have a history of competing against each other, and they even teamed up to win the World Cup three times for England.
The two-time world champion's return is a welcome addition to the sport, and Taylor is looking forward to seeing how he does.
Taylor's advice to Luke Littler, the reigning champion, is to keep doing what he's doing and improve, as he has a massive chance of winning again.
Littler will return to defend his title at the end of the year, and Taylor is confident he can go back-to-back.
