Bullseye Bliss: Luke Littler's Success Sparks Online Dartboard Sales Frenzy

Jan 24, 2024

The success of teenage darts superstar Luke Littler has led to an explosion of online dartboard sales, creating a wealth of opportunities for businesses within the sector.

Cheshire, England, United Kingdom - January 24, 2024 —

Cheshire, UK - The world of darts is experiencing an unprecedented surge in popularity thanks to the recent rise of teenage sensation Luke Littler. Online dartboard and darts sales are through the roof as the darting community witnesses a remarkable transformation. With many new eyes on the sport, it creates intriguing times for businesses within the darts sector. Fly High Media is eager to help brands capitalise on this moment and enjoy a similar surge in popularity. 


Bully Darts: Birthplace of a Sensation

Situated in Runcorn, the birthplace of the emerging teenage dart prodigy Littler, Bully Darts is at the epicentre of this darting revolution. Over 57% of dartboards available to buy online at Bully Darts are sold out, including standalone dartboards, dartboard cabinet sets and dartboards with surround sets; reflecting the heightened demand for the game. 

PDC’s Record-Breaking Viewership

The 2023 PDC World Championships, which catapulted Littler into the limelight, showcased the immense popularity of darts, attracting over 4.8 million viewers. This was the most-watched non-football sports event ever on Sky, underscoring the sport's growing appeal. 

Luke Littler-Effect: Delays and Sellouts

Target Darts, a prominent brand in the industry, is experiencing delays in order dispatches, attributing them to the “Luke Littler Effect”. Notably, as the manufacturer of the Luke Littler Generation One darts and flights, they are completely sold out on their site, creating a scarcity that echoes the excitement of achieving a rare 170 checkout. The limited availability of Luke Littler products elsewhere online has led to resellers dominating marketplaces. 

Keyword Search Boom

Fly High Media’s research reveals a staggering 900% increase in keyword searches over the last three months for “darts academy” or “beginner darts.” This surge indicates a growing interest among enthusiasts looking to step up to the oche, learn the game and refine their darting skills. 

Ally Pally’s Unprecedented Interest Surge

Alexandra Palace, affectionately known as “Ally Pally” and the home of the PDC World Championships, traditionally experiences a surge in interest before each year’s championship. However, the three weeks of the tournament have seen over twice the average lift in search activity, emphasising the draw that the pinnacle of the darts season brings to the North London events venue. 

Opportunity for Businesses

In the game of darts, having the advantage of the throw is crucial, just as being optimised for online sales is vital for retail success. Whether through organic strategies, paid shopping campaigns or email marketing, Fly High Media (based in Cheshire in the North West) stands ready to assist businesses in hitting Double Top for success.

Eala aims to start win streak in Tokyo

FILIPINO tennis sensation has not won back-to-back games in the Asian swing of the 2026 Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) Tour. She also lost her opening game against lower seeded players in Wuhan and Singapore. In the ongoing WTA 500 Tokyo Open in Japan, Alexandra “Alex” Eala is looking to break the slump as she takes on Talia Gibson of Australia, who is ranked 38thein the world. Eala, ranked 19th in the world, avoided another upset loss after dominating wildcard and No. 411 Mika Stojasavjevic of Great Britain, 6-1, 6-2, last Monday. That sets the stage for Eala to face Gibson for the third time in her tennis career either on Wednesday or Thursday in the round of 16. The order of play for Wednesday’s matches wasn’t available yet as of this writing. The 21-year-old Eala holds a 2-0 win-loss record over the 22-year-old Gibson in their head-to-head matches from their ITF years. Eala defeated Gibson first at the ITF W40 Palma del Rio, Spain, 6-3, 6-1, in June 2023. Two months later, the Filipino prevailed anew at the ITF W25 Aldershot, Great Britain, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3. This is the first time that Eala and Gibson will clash in the WTA Tour. While Eala proves superior to Gibson with a higher ranking and a title that Gibson doesn’t have yet, the Australian netter has been performing better than the Filipino in the ongoing Asian swing. Eala was stunned in the first round by No. 217 Shi Han at the Wuhan Open and by No. 180 Tatiana Prozorova at the Singapore Open. Gibson, on the other hand, placed runner-up to Leylah Fernandez at the Singapore Open. She also reached the quarterfinal round at the Japan Women’s Open last week in Osaka. Last Monday, Gibson toppled No. 75 Daria Kasatkina in their first round clash, 6-0, 7-5, in Tokyo. At the Ningbo Open last week, Eala opened the tournament with an impressive 6-3, 6-1 victory over Diane Parry but bowed to Dianna Shnaider, 7-5, 6-4, in the next round.

Yulo: ‘We will come back stronger’

FOLLOWING a medal-less campaign at the 2026 FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Championships in Rotterdam, two-time Olympic champion Carlos Yulo said that he and his younger brother Eldrew will come back stronger next season. “By God’s grace, we’ll come back stronger. Always for the Philippines,” Yulo wrote as a finisher to a lengthy Instagram post Monday night. In the same post, Yulo said he remains grateful despite not getting the results he wanted in Rotterdam. “It wasn’t the result I hoped to give, but I’m always grateful to our Lord for giving me this opportunity — not just to compete, but also to learn, grow, and see the bigger picture,” said Yulo. “Sometimes, God allows things to happen for reasons we may not immediately understand, and I’m learning to trust His plans even more,” he added. Yulo won World Championship gold medals in floor exercise in 2019, and vault in 2021 and 2025 but placed eighth in floor exercise and seventh in vault this year. Eldrew and another Filipino gymnast Miguel Besana failed to make the medal rounds in any of the disciplines. Yulo was particularly happy that he and his siblings Eldrew and Joryeng were together in Rotterdam. He said he is proud of Eldrew and Joryeng, who was there as a judge. “I’m so happy that, despite everything that has happened, we’re still here as siblings, supporting and standing by each other. We still don’t have a picture together at the arena, though,” he said. Yulo also thanked his fiancé, Chloe San Jose, for leading the way to their Paris trip after the World Championships. For his social media post, Yulo used a photo of him, Chloe, Eldrew and Joryeng posing with the Eiffel Tower as backdrop. “Lastly, to our family back in the Philippines and everyone else who prayed for us, believed in us and supported us through it all, thank you so much,” said Yulo. “This competition may not have ended the way I wanted, but I’m choosing to be grateful for the lessons, the memories and the people God continue to bless me with. We may fall short of the results we dream of, but we will never stop fighting, learning and believing.”

Bolick paces race for Best Player of Conference

Bolick paces race for Best Player of Conference

NLEX superstar Robert Bolick emerged as the leading candidate for the PBA Season 50 Governors’ Cup Best Player of the Conference (BPC) award after topping the statistical race at the close of the elimination round. A perennial BPC contender in the past conferences, Bolick amassed 37.1 statistical points (SPs) to grab pole position after the elimination phase. The 31-year-old Bolick posted solid averages of 17.2 points, 5.4 rebounds and 8.0 assists to help NLEX grab the top seed in Group A heading to the playoffs with a 9-3 record. The do-it-all guard out of San Beda has consistently led NLEX the past conferences and has been San Miguel Beer slot man June Mar Fajardo’s biggest rival for the BPC award in recent seasons. This time around, the third overall pick in the 2018 PBA Draft hopes to finally win his first BPC trophy, while looking to lead the Road Warriors to their first franchise crown. Interestingly, running second in the BPC race at the end of the elims is Terrafirma guard Maverick Ahanmisi. The former Minnesota Gopher playmaker compiled 35.7 SPs on the strength of his all-around stats line of 16.3 points, 7.6 rebounds and a league-best 8.5 assists with the Dyip. Unfortunately, Terrafirma failed to reach the playoffs once again, and this meant Ahanmisi is already out of contention for the coveted top individual award for the conference. Occupying third to fifth spots in the BPC race are Converge’s young core of Justin Arana, Justine Baltazar and rookie Juan Gomez De Liano. Arana amassed 34.7 SPs, Baltazar had 34.2 while Gomez De Liano, 33.8. The trio have been instrumental in leading the FiberXers into the playoffs since the franchise missed the playoff bus in the Commissioner’s Cup. Nine-time Most Valuable Player June Mar Fajardo of San Miguel Beer, whose 13 BPC awards are unmatched, is at sixth spot with 33.5 SPs.

Barefield to stay with Blackwater

Barefield to stay with Blackwater

BLACKWATER team owner Dioceldo Sy said Filipino American guard Sedrick Barefield has “verbally agreed” to sign a three-year extension deal with the Bossing. The longtime Filipino-Chinese sportsman-businessman said the former G League guard negotiated with him directly. “Three years, [Sedrick] agreed, with no agent [accompanying him],” Sy told The Manila Times. The 29-year-old former SMU and Utah standout posted averages of 21.1 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.8 assists in the PBA Season 50 Governors’ Cup, where the Bossing failed to reach the playoffs. The contract extension of Barefield guarantees a reliable backcourt player, who can provide offense and playmaking for the Blackwater franchise. Sy expects the shifty guard to sign the new contract soon.

Brewers rout Rays to reach brink of World Series sweep

ST. PETERSBURG, Florida — With a devastating 16-hit batting performance and masterful pitching by Robert Gasser, the Milwaukee Brewers routed Tampa Bay, 10-1, on Monday (Tuesday in Manila), reaching the brink of a World Series sweep. Left-handed starter Gasser threw six shutout innings, allowing only one hit with a walk and three strikeouts in facing the minimum 18 batters. “It was awesome,” Gasser said. “We’re going to enjoy tonight. It was a great team win. But we’ve got work to do.” Jackson Chourio, a 22-year-old Venezuelan outfielder, went 4-for-5 at the plate, scored twice, stole a base and also drove in a run in the Brewers’ historic eight-run fifth inning to humble the Rays. All eight runs came with two outs in the inning, a World Series record, and Milwaukee batters made seven consecutive hits, a playoff first. “It was special for sure,” Chourio said through a translator. “We’ve been preparing for this day. We’ve known it was coming. We have one more to lock in for tomorrow to complete the mission.” The Brewers seized a 3-0 lead in Major League Baseball’s best-of-seven final and can win the first title in team history with a triumph in Game 4 on Tuesday at Tropicana Field. “There’s still one more game to go for us to win,” Gasser said. “I know everybody is eager to do it, and we’re going to show up tomorrow ready to go.” Gasser became the first lefty to face the minimum over six innings in a World Series clash since Sandy Koufax of the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1965. The Rays managed a run in the ninth but only three hits in the game. Chourio raced home from second base on a Christian Yelich single in the third inning to score the first run and William Contreras drove in another with a hit to right field for a 2-0 lead. The Brewers, whose only prior World Series was a 1982 loss to St. Louis in seven games, had two one-run wins to start the Series but overwhelmed Tampa Bay with a barrage in the fifth. Chourio singled, stole second and advanced to third on a Contreras single that loaded the bases as Rays starter Freddy Peralta, who had played for Milwaukee the past eight seasons, was lifted for relief pitcher Cam Booser. Brice Turang followed with a two-run single up the middle, Garrett Mitchell added a single to score Contreras, and Cooper Pratt followed with a two-run double to left field for a 7-0 Brewers lead. Sal Frelick doubled in Pratt for an 8-0 Milwaukee edge, bringing on Rays reliever Cole Sulser, who promptly surrendered a single to David Hamilton to drive in Frelick for a 9-0 lead. Chourio concluded the stunning streak with a double to right field to score Hamilton for a 10-0 Brewers lead. Gasser, meanwhile, had to wait for an extra 45 minutes before returning to the mound, watching the amazing streak with glee. “It was special. I had a smile on my face the whole time,” Gasser said. “It was just surreal when something like that happens.” Chourio’s eight hits through three games are the second-most in World Series history after nine by Billy Hatcher for Cincinnati in 1990. “My mentality is to stay on top of the ball and hit line drives,” Chourio said. “I consider myself more of a hitter than a home run hitter.” Chourio became the youngest player to ever begin a World Series with three multi-hit games, delivering singles in the first, third and fifth innings on Monday.

Cavs edge Timberwolves in overtime

LOS ANGELES, California — The Cleveland Cavaliers ended the Minnesota Timberwolves’ perfect start to the NBA season, winning 127-125 in an overtime thriller despite 47 points from Anthony Edwards. Donovan Mitchell and James Harden led the scoring for the victorious Cavs, with 26 and 19 points apiece, as Cleveland moved to 2-1. “Tough win for us, especially early in the season,” said Harden, who added four rebounds and nine assists. The Timberwolves, having won their opening three games, led for much of the night, with a 15-point advantage in the first half. Edwards, only cleared to play late after being listed as questionable with a right knee injury, had made an electric start, with 11 points in the first quarter. But the Cavaliers rallied to pull level in the third quarter, and then had to come from behind again after slipping to a seven-point deficit in the fourth. Harden’s driving floater with 10 seconds remaining tied the game, and a blocked Edwards layup with four seconds left sent it to overtime at 113-113. With just a minute left in overtime, Edwards tied the game again with a trey so close to the arc that a video replay was required. But Mitchell reestablished Cleveland’s lead with a go-ahead midrange jumper, and when Minnesota’s Jonathan Kuminga missed a free throw with 30 seconds left, the Cavaliers pulled clear. Harden made two more free throws, leaving the Timberwolves requiring three points, but Edwards’ clutch effort bounced off the rim. Peyton Watson poured in two more free throws for Cleveland to bury the contest. “We made a lot of mistakes on both ends of the basketball in that first half... second half, we did a better job,” said Harden. Elsewhere, the Oklahoma City Thunder improved to 4-0 with a hard-fought 125-114 win over the Phoenix Suns. Ajay Mitchell led the scoring with a career-high 30, supported by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who added 26. “This league is about winning games, and that’s all that matters,” said Gilgeous-Alexander. “We were just ready to go. Guys were ready to go. Guys were ready to step up,” added the reigning NBA Most Valuable Player. Perfect night The Houston Rockets also stayed perfect with a 120-110 win over the Atlanta Hawks. It is their first 4-0 start since 2014, with star Kevin Durant rested for the entire fourth quarter in an ultimately comfortable win. Giannis Antetokounmpo recorded his first triple-double with new team Miami even as the Heat (0-4) suffered a 113-109 loss to the Dallas Mavericks. Antetokounmpo, a two-time league Most Valuable Player who left the Milwaukee Bucks this summer, scored 29 points with 14 rebounds and 11 assists. Mavericks teen star Cooper Flagg also scored 29, with 11 assists, six rebounds and a career-high five steals. The Grizzlies also improved to 4-0 with a 110-105 win over the Utah Jazz, while Brandon Miller scored 39 points as the Charlotte Hornets beat the Washington Wizards, 110-103. And the Golden State Warriors earned their first victory of the season with a 134-114 triumph over the Denver Nuggets. Stephen Curry made 8-of-8 field goal attempts for 24 points. “Just staying patient. We’ve been working on some offensive approach where I know I get a lot of attention, trying not to force things,” he said. “I didn’t know it was going to be a perfect night like that, but glad it all came together.”

Prescott throws 3 TDs as Cowboys rip Eagles

NEW YORK — Dak Prescott passed for three touchdowns and 212 yards as the Dallas Cowboys bounced back with a 38-21 thumping of the injury-ravaged Philadelphia Eagles, who plunged to a fifth straight L loss. The Cowboys, whose offense had misfired in back-to-back losses to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Green Bay Packers, pulled emphatically clear of their C East rivals in the second half to move to 3-4. CeeDee Lamb made two superb touchdown catches and George Pickens added a third, while the Cowboys also ran for 204 yards spearheaded by Javonte Williams, who had a touchdown and a career-high 155 rushing yards. With their first win in Philadelphia since the 2021 season, Dallas remained in pursuit of the division-leading New York Giants (4-2-1). Meanwhile, the Eagles suffered their fifth straight defeat, having lost starting quarterback Jalen Hurts for the season due to blood clots. The Eagles’ woeful injury record worsened as star running back Saquon Barkley, on his return from a two-game absence with a hamstring issue, left the field with a back injury. In an even first half, two excellent catches by Cowboys receivers helped Dallas fight back after the Eagles’ rushing game had put Philadelphia ahead twice. After an early Dallas 55-yard field goal, Barkley exploded 29 yards for a first down — breaking a tackle and then appearing to grab his troublesome hamstring — but soon after rushed wide to the pylon for an eight-yard TD. The Cowboys hit back. Prescott sent a touchdown pass to Lamb, who took a spinning catch in the far corner of the end zone. In the second quarter, running back Dameon Pierce rushed five yards around the Cowboys defense to put the Eagles back ahead, 14-10.

Mbappe dropped by Chinese brands

BEIJING — Kylian Mbappe was dropped on Tuesday by two major brands in China after a video circulated online in which the French football star apparently joked about former leader Mao Zedong. In China, jokes about Mao, the country’s founding leader who died in 1976, are considered disrespectful and remain a social taboo. “Our company firmly opposes and has a zero-tolerance policy toward any behavior that offends national sentiments,” drinks giant Dongpeng said in a statement, adding that “with immediate effect we are terminating all cooperation with Kylian Mbappe.” Mengniu, China’s largest dairy producer, also cut ties with the Real Madrid and France forward. “With immediate effect, our company is terminating all cooperation with Kylian Mbappe,” Mengniu said in a statement. “Mengniu firmly opposes and has a zero-tolerance policy toward any words or actions that hurt the feelings of the Chinese people,” it added. The announcements came after a video emerged online with Mbappe saying that the funniest internet meme he had seen was of his face photoshopped onto that of “some guy — I think he’s a Chinese dictator.” AFP
