James Wade effectively took care of business on Sunday night to pick up his first World Grand Prix win because 2014, although there were some rocky moments.
The Machine can now look forward to his tie against Mervyn King with certainty that is real, as he chases a third in Dublin, along with a ninth PDC important name.
Its been a while, I forgot just how to win here I believe, he told The Darts Show Podcast.
Its good. Its a triumph, and I will move onto another one. Its great to get that one under the belt
Wade feels hes getting back to where he belongs, and has enjoyed a spike in fortunes in the last 12 months.
He claimed victories to finish year on a top — and — things have continued using five Pro Tour titles this season — .
Unfortunately I have gone through a real poor portion of my livelihood for the last three or four years, he said.
Its [down to] myself not putting enough effort in, and not needing to be there. Youve got a few years of not putting enough not needing to be there, and all those mixed up without doing well, it brings negatives.
Now there is not that numerous reverses there and theres a whole lot more advantages.
Winning becomes a habit, also shedding becomes a habit. Ive been doing just a tiny bit of this winning and not so much of the losing.
Even the Grand Prix brings its own challenges for players thedouble-in arrangement, instead of match-play, but its also one of two tournaments in which set-play is employed.
Wade found himself flat at one set apiece against Henderson, despite winning more legs up to that point, and he feels straight match-play provides atrue reflection of ability.
Ive always preferred match-play rather than places, he further added.
With sets, youll acquire more legs lose a match. Ive never known that.
I dont think a whole lot of the period [set-play] is a true reflection. It gives folks something to hide behind. People can hide behind not even playing well and manage to nick a game in sets. Sometime in match-play, its a match. Youll win In the event you buy to 10. If you do not you shed.
Its as simple as that.
The company end of the darting season is well and truly upon us, with the Grand Prix and Grand Slam one of the competitions leading intothe granddaddy of them all in the Ally Pally at less than 10 weeks time.
Wade retains the television occasions in esteem, although the remaining portion of the calendar keeps players on their feet with the schedule.
It has two entirely different games. Floor tournaments and European Tours, its not exactly the same as what I call a suitable TV championship, he explained.
It is not even close. Its possible to play nicely in one and not well from the other. I think that its completely different. Some folks can play well on the ground, but if they get onto the stage, not too well. I dont think the two are similar.
The left-hander knows he needs to pick and select tournaments to sit out, and is in awe of a number of his peers stamina.
He added:There are some players that I can not believe still do all the tournaments. The likes of Daryl Gurney and Peter Wright. They are just hardcore. They visit everything! I really dont know how they do it
However, its about peaking in the tournaments, and also the 36-year-old is convinced hes doing that at Dublin.
Next up is a meeting with King. Today he has tasted victory, and wade is back to winning ways at the place that is Irish, he is not likely to want to wait for another five years for his second one.
It ought to be good. It should be interesting, he said of his meeting with King.
Hopefully it is interesting and that I win.
