ADRIAN LEWIS is aiming to continue his more deliberate approach as he targets further glory following his TAB Auckland Darts Masters triumph.
The two-time World Champion picked up his first televised title in an individual event for 18 months since his UK Open victory in Minehead.
Lewis overcame Gary Anderson, Phil Taylor and Raymond van Barneveld in Auckland to take the win - following up his loss to Taylor in the Sydney Darts Masters by going all the way in the final international World Series of Darts event of the year.
Lewis is now aiming to continue that form across the remaining major tournaments of 2015 before he bids to win a third title at the William Hill World Darts Championship in December and January at Alexandra Palace.
"We've got a lot of majors coming up, including the World Championship," said Lewis. "If I can go up there and perform like I have done recently, then I've got a great chance of winning that as well.
"I've played well on the floor but not so well on the TV, so to pick my TV form up now coming into the main part of the year is a fantastic confidence boost for me. I can push on from here now and hopefully win a lot more tournaments.
"My mindset has been fantastic, for the duration of the three weeks and it's a massive achievement, one of the biggest tournaments I've won.
"I've been putting a lot of hours in on the board and it hasn't been paying off; my timing has been out more than anything, not my form, because I've been having a 100 average and losing games.
"Now I'm averaging 100+ and winning games. I've missed some consistency but in Auckland I was trying to keep my own rhythm. I wasn't trying to rush and I was trying to keep concentrated, and I knew if I didn't rush I had a great chance.
"I had to keep the same pace and consistency and that's what got me through, and I'm very happy with my form.
"I don't think I'll change my pace now; I'm not fast and I'm not slow, I'm just in between and I'm concentrating on every dart.
"I was a lot faster when I won the World Championship, but I was more inconsistent. I was hitting massive legs to win the sets, but now I can hit 11-darters or 12-darters and keep it going because of my consistency on the trebles and the doubles.
"Being an Adrian Lewis fan is very frustrating at times but it's frustrating for myself and I'm happy that my sponsors and everyone have stood by me."
