EAGLE-EYED darts fans have noticed a change in Luke Little and claimed he is “already bored”.
The teen sensation was taking on Owen Bates in the Players Championship when viewers spotted the change.
Littler, 17, won the tie in thrilling fashion as he checked out from 158 with two triple 20s and a double 19.
However, fans could tell that he had changed his throwing style during the match.
One viewer even claimed that the ace made the decision because he was “bored”.
One posted: “Littler has changed his throwing style quite a few times hasn’t he. Even if it’s just small adjustments.”

“Happened a couple of times in the PL too.”
A third commented: “He always does it on the pro tours, looks like he’s already bored of them.”
A fourth said: “That’s silly.”

It is not the first time Littler has changed his technique at the oche.
Back in February, he made a couple of adjustments that led fans to think he had got even better.
Littler was then beaten by Croatian ace Boris Krcmar 6-4 in his second match of the day.
Recently, he was praised by former world champion Dennis Priestley who has backed him to be worth more than David Beckham.
He told Club 501: “It’s hard for any player to remain at the top for that length of time.”
“If they can do that and he can remain at the top of his game for 10 or so years.
“Then he’ll be worth more than David Beckham.”
