Every high street independent sports shop used to sell these in the days before the internet and Mike Ashley arrived, sold in those wired locking display stands to prevent pilfering sandwiched between the Assassins and Magnums. Design classic. 😊

These look to be very well made, top quality. I've had knurled grip on old brass darts, but not been a big fan. At least Harrows put a couple of rings in the DSS for us rear-grippers, otherwise it would have been a BBDSS (Bloody Big DSS). Thanks for another top review Darren

Thanks for the review! If I could make a request/suggestion. Now there's quite a bit of humming in the sections that are recorded separately (like the "detailed dimensions"), which gets to my ears, at least. This would be a quick thing to fix with Audacity (or your video editor of choice) by using denoise. Other than that, love your videos, thanks for making them!

Hey man, I’m darting for 4 months now and I can’t hit 180 😢. I got 24g darts but it has a small grip. I’m grabbing it in front and place my middle finger on the tip (like gerwyn price). I noticed that after 20 min of playing it feels like I can’t feel the dart in my hand (like it disappeared 😂). And my dart is always so flat in the board so when I throw a other dart it’s bouncing off what can I do about it? I’m thinking about buying 26g darts so it has a bigger grip. I also throw really hard (and a bit fast I think) so I think that I need some heavy darts.What do you think? Should I buy 26g or lighter like 22g? I really wanna throw some 180’s 😂 I really need advice
@DartsReviewChannel6 ай бұрын
some people play for years and never hit a 180, there is no set time frame where you should be hitting one. If you cant feel the dart maybe it is some other issue, do you have feeling in your fingers still, I know I have a dodgy hand and sometimes my nerves are numb so I dont feel the dart well. Only thing I could suggest is try a dart with more grip, a thicker barrel may also help, try a front weighted dart and heavier might also be worth trying too. There could be all kinds of things to try with your technique though, hard to advise on here without seeing your throw. You should check out Dynamite Daves channel and also Straight To The Point Darts, also check out the beginners section on the forum here: www.dartsnutz.net/forum/forum-29.html
