GERWYN PRICE is regaining his momentum after addressing the distraction caused by his new fish and chip shop.
The 39-year-old Welshman has struggled this year on the oche, suffering defeats against lower-ranked competitors.

In the background, he has encountered difficulties while setting up a new chippy in his hometown of Markham in South Wales.
The setup process has taken longer than Price expected, which has contributed to his slump in performance.
When asked about the status of his takeaway business, Price, who used to own a cafe, remarked: “That’s probably why I was losing and performing poorly — my focus was elsewhere.”
“I’m glad it’s finally up and running so I don’t have to fret about it too much.”
“The cafe was a letdown and is now rented out as a dog-grooming shop, but Chippy 501 is flourishing.”
“It wasn’t just about the launch; I installed cameras in the shop and was consistently monitoring them on my phone.”
“Yes, it can affect my performance on the oche. I find myself consuming fish and chips frequently. I even established a 10 percent discount for myself.”

Watching the Grand Slam of Darts on TV last month — a tournament he did not qualify for — acted as a wake-up call for him.

The 2021 world champion, who easily defeated Keane Barry 3-0 in the second round at Ally Pally on Monday, expressed: “It has served as a much-needed kick up the backside because I need to perform better to qualify for the Grand Slams.”
“Now, I must prove my skills on the big stage — and progressing far in the World Championship is my objective.”
