From all the new stuff Target unveiled, this is the dart that caught my interest the most. Ordered the version 1 shape and will keep an eye out for the version 4 on the second hand market. Even if the Nastri turn out to be unsuitable for me, they sure as hell look nice as an eyecatcher in a darts collection.

Got these a few days ago as I was always curious and got an insane deal I couldn't turn down. Well I absolutely love them. I'm a front grip and before these rvb gen 4 were my best dart. Likely the only dart I bought without watching your review first. And thank God because I'm playing even better and love how they feel in hand. I'm decent with most darts but I'm really enjoying these

Interesting review Darren. I've got this set and really enjoying them at the moment. Can't say I'm experiencing the release issues you had, I reckon it'll be down to how the player grips the dart on release maybe. Good review though mate and yes it really is a good looking dart.
@DartsReviewChannel2 жыл бұрын
Thanks mate, also thanks for your feedback as it helps others to decide also but yeah like I mention its all about the way they are held and release, some left my fingers cleanly and some were catchy on skin. A few others have mentioned the same as me but say they got used to them after a while, what you see in video is my first go with them so I think with more time I will probably get the hang of them better. One guy hated them though, he said they just stuck to his fingers, were not quite as bad as that for me though lol Agreed they do look great! :)

@@DartsReviewChannel Yeah, I totally get all of that. Darts are very personal at the end of the day.

@@Jiminy_Bob too true its all personal, before I threw them I got a message online from a friend who said he sent them back, said they were way too grippy, I said he must have girly hands as they did not feel that grippy to me, they dont when I just hold them, but when throwing them it felt more edgy so I was not sure what score to give them, I think I may have got it about right though. We will all have our own feel on what is grippy and not though, some say the nano grippy is grippy but to me it feels slippy. RVB4 look nice I think :)

When I got the Cortex Azzurri I found that the grip "cut" into my fingers, in much the same way you are saying with these. It might be a simple case of playing with them loads so the grip wears down a bit. They do look a lovely dart though, will go to my local place to try them out before buying though. Getting tight in my old age, haha

Yeah I know what you mean about the Cortex too. Its really hard to describe these new grips in a way for people to get an idea of how they may feel but already I am getting people telling me mixed feelings about the Nastri, which is what I suspected would happen, some say its very aggressive and some say its not at all lol Just one of them darts you really need to find out for yourself I guess, good that you can do that locally though.
