Wow great concept! Thx again. A must have for me as a dutchman

[@nikolais6522]

They look awesome. Barney is one of my favorites. Thanks for the review!!

[@DartsReviewChannel]

No problem 👍

[@liamsnowdon376]

Look amazing!! I have the Barney V2’s and no matter what I always revert back to them! Hopefully get to give them a try soon!

Nice one! :)

[@vtownjester]

I vividly remember him winning the WC in '98. My dad's name is also Raymond, his colleagues started calling him "Barney" afterwards, but he never threw a dart lol Can't believe it's been 25 years already, time flies, just like these darts. Oh, and my dad occasionally pops over for a game nowadays, he's starting to enjoy it now at 74 years young. Cheers!

That's great 👍 I was still in my 20's then, only seems like yesterday 😊

Great review, the mat and silver finish similar to the Phil Taylor gen 7 darts. I would like to see Target incorporate the K-flex stems and swiss storm points on some of their special edition darts! Thanks Darren, cheers!

Thanks mate, they would have to make a bigger box then which would add to the cost but if its a special edition I think people would not mind, like they did before with the other specials.

I’ve got a set of the black and grey echo 95s and I think I like the look of these silver ones better. They are essentially the same dart. I would definitely swap out the stems and flights. Maybe add some of those new green K flexes!! Would love to get a set, but I might have to hold off for a sale lol. Great review as always Darren!

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Thanks! Yeah green would suit well :)

I really want to but them but unsure on weight, Ive only been playing 6 months with a 24 g dart, these come either 23g or 25g, any suggestions how i would decide which is best or would 1g either way not make much difference 🤔

[@DartsReviewChannel]

I think I would go lighter at 23g, as they are front weighted :)

Not sure what he uses point wise, knowing him he probably changes it often

[@piratescove4]

The darts are terrific, but I love that box.

[@edwardkiperman8436]

They look so much better in the video than in the pictures online. I will definitely get a set as soon as possible. Great video. I really needed to see this. How do you think these will wear on the grip?

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Thanks mate 👍 it's not super grippy but the fairly wide grooves should help it last better than usual I think 😊

[@BUHI-DARTS]

Hi-Yo, Silver! NICE LOOKING DARTS!

[@Aussie-Joe]

Very impressive look to these. Like most of the other darts I like the look of, they're out of my price range. Will have to try my luck when you do the giveaway 😁😁 For the price, I thought the weight matching may have been a bit better

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Hopefully you will get lucky, or hopefully not, posting to Oz is not cheap lol! Only Joking, I have posted winners darts all over the world, strangest place so far was Mongolia :)

Nice darts 🎯🎯

[@jjheisman122]

If you celebrate his 25th Anniversary of his first title, lean a little bit into the dart that he used back then. Slapping a bit of paint on his current dart and calling it a day is so typical for Target these days.

[@DartsReviewChannel]

They could have made one similar to what he used then I guess :)

[@dienoel8423]

Is the grip any different then the G4? If not I will go with these because they are cheaper

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Not much different

[@Its_A_London_Thing]

I notice that people are caught up on the price of these darts - and so they should be... The problem is, whether it be computer games, trainers, Box Office sporting events, or darts, if people pay the money, then the companies will keep on selling at stupid prices. Darts as a game has boomed in recent years and more and more people are getting into it. Where there's demand, there'll be a price hike! The Barney 25's are probably really worth no more than £50, but then you attach his name to it and scribble Special Edition on the box, and they'll say its worth £40 extra... We're getting conned left right and centre but at the end of the day - if the darts happens to be perfect for you - it may well be money well spent - and that's what companies like Target & the rest are banking on! Anyway - decent review as always Dazza... Gutted I missed the giveaway, as you won't catch me spaffing 90 notes on these any time soon! 😂

[@DartsReviewChannel]

What is worse though is by Target selling on their own site at same price as the retailers means they are getting maximum profit and the retailers get less, but I guess if they sold them minus the retailers profit they would be cheaper but then nobody would buy from the retailers. Certainly they could be cheaper though.

[@Its_A_London_Thing]

@@DartsReviewChannel - yep... I guess they need to recoup that bit extra because of the amount that's being paid out to the players. But even so, a sale price here or there wouldn't hurt, but I don't think I've ever seen these go for less than 85 quid. I haven't held these personally, but they do look like they're very well machined and maybe slightly better milled than some of their more affordable range - so maybe more hours have gone into it? But having said that, the Harrows Imperial Diamond is a stunning looking dart and probably took a whole lot longer and more craftsmanship - but is a whole £30 cheaper!

[@DartsReviewChannel]

@@Its_A_London_Thing There was a time when the extra machining was a slow process but I think the recent machines have advanced so much that they can machine them a lot quicker now. Its hard to know all the reasons, but I think the darts themselves are not costing as much as all the other things like paying for players, employees, buildings, marketing etc so it all adds up. How much is pure profit is hard to know, I think every business will have a basic % they deem acceptable but some will certainly want more than others. Over the years of watching Dragons Den and seeing what some people quote for their cost price and retail price seems like a huge mark up but then you have to factor in taxes and all the other things so I just dont know what is a fair price in the end?

[@gnarlyflies180]

Nice!

[@shaughnessy1989]

Would you recommend these or the SCOTT WILLIAMS BLACK SWISS STEEL TIP?

[@DartsReviewChannel]

I prefer the Barney's

[@ant88310]

Nice set of darts! Moved from a splint to a boot. Still non weight bearing so no darts yet!:(

[@142percent8]

nice one.

[@davidyendoll5903]

I think the term for the shape milled at the rear section , that area you said was rectangles with curves , is called a circus Darren . With so many 'new' shapes being milled into darts these days you have quite a challenge describing them for sure , This one is fairly simple by comparison with some ! Anyways they do look nice and at least Target have blasted the logo area .... an improvement eh !

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Circus, thats a strange one lol! Yeah its near impossible to describe them, like the recent Falcon set from Darts Clearance, I asked if the rear grip had a special name, they said no lol so how do you describe these things? Yeah smooth part is not so bad with a bit of texture to it :)

[@davidyendoll5903]

The Romans had chariot racing tracks in this shape . If you remember the film Ben Hur with Charlton Heston you will know what I mean . They called the race circuits Circuses ,which were built all over the empire , like amphitheaters were , I presume we call our typically round modern Circuses after the roman entertainment centres . @@DartsReviewChannel

Its a great idea from Target. The box is very nice and the EVO-stems goes well with the barrel. Like someone said the darts looks much better in the video than they do in the pictures and it really is a nice looking barrel. Sadly they are a bit out of my price range but maybe i get lucky in the giveaway(lol, never gonna happen😄).

I like the box and the little promo video that they did was good too. Good luck on the draw! :)

[@DartsReviewChannel]

@@Cowabunga10101 Thanks! Its one of the reasons I started doing reviews years ago and I was probably one of if not the first people to do photos in detail as people were always asking me about the darts. A lot of the brands improved their presentation of products after seeing some of my stuff back then. Even did a few pics for some products myself but now they tend to cheat too much with CGI or enhanced images which I think is a bit mis-leading.

Yeah, nice darts, but with that rough nose you'll destroy your flights very soon

[@NorthStarAttitudes]

Great darts, however, for over $100 USD they didn’t include the specialty point to make the darts “lipless”. Really? The price on these is too much for what they include. I’ll pass.

[@Cowabunga10101]

Dont be a "lipsimp" 🙄

[@Dad-Gad]

If you bought them and they felt effortless to throw and you were hitting everything you aimed at , would you consider that good value?

[@DartsReviewChannel]

They have the new GRD points that why. Lip will cause damage but so will the barrel and getting rid of the lip on a dart like these is only going to help so much, the barrel will cause more damage. Prices are rising all the time which is not good of course but these are the same price as the Echos but cheaper than the RVB Gen 3 and 4, Cheaper than the Taylor Gen 10 and Luke Littler and only £9 more than what the Unicorn Taylor Rosso darts cost over 10 years ago! Not saying they are cheap but in comparison to those its not any worse.

[@NorthStarAttitudes]

@@DartsReviewChannelGood darts don't have to cost a fortune. #DartsClearance

[@DartsReviewChannel]

@@NorthStarAttitudes When and where did I ever say they did? I am the one who first mentioned Darts Clearance to everyone as well as many other great deals on darts over the years. You are talking to the guy who learned the other guy of how U.S. customers were getting ripped off regarding Laser Darts being cheaper here than U.S. as well as many other things. I was just replying to what you said about the points, they came with their new GRD points and the darts are no more higher priced than the others of the similar style as previous Barney darts, and still cheaper than some of Targets more expensive darts. Also in relative terms a lot cheaper than what we were happy to pay for over 10 years ago with the Unicorn Phase 5 Rosso darts which would be around £117 in todays value. Of course no one has to pay a lot of money for a set of good darts, to assume otherwise is just stupid, the darts I did the best with years ago I got free, cant get much cheaper than that! :) The debate on dart prices is something I and many others have talked about every year ever since we started seeing silly prices for players darts like Taylors 10 or more years ago. I have done it to death really, could go on and on about the many reasons of why things are or are not expensive but in the end I think the best way is to make your own statement with your wallet. If people dont like the prices dont buy the darts but they still do so it never changes. Thankfully we have great places like Darts Clearance where we can still buy great value darts.
