Ian White has extended his stay with Team Unicorn. The popular 48-year-old has penned a new deal as he bids to turn on the style in the big TV tournaments. The World No.13 has been frustrated by one stat....he’s never been past the quarter-finals of a PDC ‘Major’ “It does annoy me because I know I have the game to win a TV tournament. It isn’t for lack of hard work that’s for sure,” he said. “The other big aim this year is to get into the world’s top 10. That would be a great achievement for me.”

In this blog, Unicorn’s Player Liaison, Matt Rankin, delivers a fascinating behind the scenes insight into the multiple dart set-ups that Gary Anderson used on his way to sealing the 2018 World Matchplay title. In the process, he reveals just how closely Unicorn work with our players day-to-day. It was quite a week for ‘The Flying Scotsman’ by the seaside!

This latest one had me scrabbling around a bit, though. I did briefly flirt with “5 Bore On”, which, as this blog gets a mite technical later, contains both a regrettable element of truth and a regrettable pun on element atomic number 5. Instead I’ve reluctantly settled, as

Every year, Unicorn unveil the latest in cutting edge darts technology, having been at the forefront of darts innovation for over 80 years. The 2019 product launch was no different. Despite forewarning FIFA that a far more important and prestigious event was taking place on the same day as the World Cup’s opening match, it seems as though the message fell on deaf ears.

The Unicorn ace had kept the Scots in the final as he hit five 180s in beating Raymond van Barneveld 4 legs to 1 in the singles. But the Netherlands won

Ahead of his Premier League semi-final clash with Gary Anderson, Michael Smith talks to Stuart Pyke about his preparation for the match, what it's like to play against his mentor and friend, his good run in 2018, his family and how he is aiming to improve his consistency.
