Christian Kist, the current Lakeside World Champion and Dutch superstar, has signed a 3 year deal with Winmau, as he prepares to defend his World title.
The talented Dutchman burst to fame in 2012 by blitzing his way through a very experienced Lakeside line-up to claim the ultimate prize in the sport. He is currently performing superbly in the Grand Slam of Darts having won his first 2 games (beating fellow countryman Raymond van Barneveld in the process in what he described as “a dream for me”).
A thoughtful and patient man, Christian has taken several months to decide which darts company he would like to join and he said: "I was so happy to win my first major title in darts that signing a darts contract was not something I wanted to rush into. However, after speaking with Winmau and having used their products for my whole darts life it is amazing to sign with the company I see as head and shoulders above all others".
Simon Hall, Head of Marketing for Winmau, said "Christian flew right under the radar into the Lakeside last year and caught everyone off guard. It’s a compliment to the real strength of the BDO and WDF system that such an amazing player can come through the ranks and triumph on the biggest stage of them all. We are really excited about developing his darts range and watching his career grow in the long-term".
Christian’s darts will be available from all good stockists in the Spring.
