REVIEW.
When I first opened the darts
I thought they looked very stylish with the short razor edge shafts. At 85%
tungsten they feel heavier and bulkier than most 24g darts but I am used to
playing with 21g so might be down to what I am used to. The grip is rated 4 out
of 5. I agree the middle and front of the barrel is very grippy but I found the
back of the dart was closer to a 3 on the grip scale and was a very unique
design so may suit someone who holds the dart at the front or the middle.
The darts are very well made, as always from red dragon, and the razor edge
grip really does help stop your fingers slipping if they are a little on the
sweaty side!
The darts come in a XS wallet which is a basic wallet. Plenty of storage space,
lightweight and easy to slip into your pocket to carry on match nights.
First impressions, Great accessories and case and solid, well made darts that
look good.
Throwing these darts took a
bit of practice. The weight and thickness difference compared to my current
darts made me struggle to hit big scores at first but it got better with time.
I found my consistency to be much better using these darts. Although I wasn^t
hitting 140+ as much my averages were just as good because I was throwing
straighter and hitting more 100s and 60s instead of the usual 45s and 81s!!
The dart is easy to hold with the razor edge grip which probably also helped my
accuracy as darts never seemed to slip.
The short stems helped the darts flight and barely had any wobble in the air.
Conclusion:
I spent hours with these, absolutely loved them but unless you are used to
using similar darts, these can take a little longer to get used to throwing.If
you stick with it, you will be playing solid darts in no time. Beginner or pro,
they get easier to play with the more you play! Very consistent, superb quality
with a unique design on the barrel, plenty of grip and nicely balanced to keep
your darts straight.
At £34.90, they are well worth the money. You get everything you need to start
throwing immediately, they will last you a lifetime(if looked after!!!) and are
the signature darts of Gerwen ^The Iceman^ Price. One of the most talked about
players on the PDC circuit at the moment and a very promising player!
