A stunning design. The gold chevron pattern seems quite elegant yet functional and the masonry block type area near the rear make a nice contrast. Eye catching and intriguing but expensive in my opinion. I'm not a fanboy of any particular player so paying extra for a name is difficult for me to wrap my head around. For that type of price point I would only be motivated with included accessories like a hard shell case, extra stems, flights and possibly some extra points that won't chew the daylights out of my board. For those who do not collect darts, this could possibly be the set to top them all. None of my personal perspective is meant to be negative, it is just me keeping it real. I do very much so like these darts but would keep them on the long list due to the cost / value ratio. Thanks again for a spectacular review, as always outstanding work Darren.

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Thanks Grant! Its a nice dart but obviously pricey, will still be popular I think though :)

[@little_brat.]

You really are busy recently! And of course keeping the high standard! Another great review and another great set worth considering :)

Thanks Stewart! :) I think they are already on my list, no idea when I will get them though :)

[@robertreader6539]

Beautiful darts. I'd like to offer some advice to help strengthen your wrist. Make sure to go steady and light at the beginning so you don't aggravate it but this will help strengthen it without damaging it if you go light. Use a small weight less than 5 kg and hold it in your hand whilst resting your forearm on a table. Slowly move the weight from side to side as if rocking the weight. Do this 8 times for each side and youl see your wrist get stronger.

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Thanks Robert, its been a problem for nearly 10 years now on and off, I think its some kind of RSI but in the last few months its got worse since I jarred it playing tug with my dog.

[@robertreader6539]

@@DartsReviewChannel No problem. I had nerve damage in my left arm (non dart throwing arm) and this helped. All the best

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Will give it a try. Do you mean have your forearm flat with palm facing up and move left to right?

[@robertreader6539]

@@DartsReviewChannel have your forearm flat but when gripping the weight your Palm should face inwards as you grip the weight thumb at the top then rotate your wrist to the left then right

[@DartsReviewChannel]

I understand, thanks mate will try it :)

[@BYGTraining]

Gorgeous darts! I love black and gold and the little cut groves on them look really cool. Can't say I like a hexagonal shape to my barrel, though. What do you think about Whitlock's new hexagonal points? It's hard for me to believe they actually matter. I'd love to try them, though, and he sure does seem to be playing well with them.

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Its got a slight hexagonal feel to the barrel but its not a try hexagon shape. No idea about the Whitlock points but will be fun to try them although I think I prefer normal ones :)

[@atterlad5]

Another great review Daz, quite like the look of these but they're way out of my bracket.

[@DartsReviewChannel]

[@fretfret]

I was watching a match between Kyle Anderson and RVB in one of the aussie tournaments both using these points... Board was barely usable after a couple of games. I would not be playing with these at home. Boards are dear enough without needing to replace them twice as often. I wonder what they are like sticking in the board with regular points??? Good review though :)

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Thanks and yes I dont like such points for home use either, simple standard black coated points are fine for me :)

[@fretfret]

Darts Review Channel Same :) Thanks for the reply.

[@DartsReviewChannel]

No worries :)

[@anthonym3351]

Great review as usual Darren, nice looking barrel, I'm just wondering what's happened to hold coated darts, I know the gold ti is one of your favourites. Is it just me or is every manufacturer now making far more black coated darts, a few years ago gold seemed to be alot more common!

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Thanks mate! There is still plenty of gold darts but may be its just fashions, one brands makes a black set and another follows suit?

[@GordoDrummer]

Well..... you've gone and done it! Now I have to go buy myself a set of these beauties. Thanks!

[@DartsReviewChannel]

LOL Cheers! :)

[@arda15987]

Great video! I throw the dart at a low speed and in a curved manner. Can you please recommend some darts suitable for my shooting style?

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Thanks! May be best with front weighted torpedo style, like Harrows Predators, Loxley Scarlett, Shot Druid, not necessarily those exact darts but ones in that kind of shape. Might also be worth trying a short bullet style too like the John Lowe shape.

[@arda15987]

@@DartsReviewChannel Thank you for the answer. I researched the darts you suggested. On Shot's website, it says the balance of druid darts is in the center. Maybe you wanted to suggest Celt Cernunnos?

thanks for showing this set i have the rvb gen 4 target makes good sets the gen 2 looks like a really good set too nice triple shame about your third arrow otherwise you had 2 tripples what are your favorite sets if you had to choose 3 what would be your top favorite sets to play with thanks for the good review

Could You please review the Target Stephen Bunting gen1 in 12 grams? My setup is short plastic stem, no ring and pear flight and this makes the dart go fast and straight.

I've hit more 140s and 160s in my life with my 21g rvb95's but I can't get them to double on the top half of the board for shit

I remember when I tried some 19g Manleys years ago, was great on the doubles but could not hit any trebles, weird! :)

Is the flight the ten-x or the #6, cause the flight that comes with it is slightly smaller than a #6

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Small standard no:6 is what mine came with. :)

I actually want to buy RvB darts as a souvenir. Are the Unicorn darts bedder for this( he has won more with them) or the target gen 2? What do you think?

[@Boom12]

The dimensions are just nice for me at 25gm, but the moment you described the front grip being not overly grippy, I kinda dampened myself from making that impulse buy lol. I really want this dart but would like a grippier front section. I'll try it once my local shop has supply. And this is the first gold darts I like the design of. I'm usually put off by gold but they made it nice, and I'm biased 'cause its Barney haha.

Not sure i could if it was me. 👍💪

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Thanks mate! Its been an ongoing problem for years, it started in 2009 and I had about 4 months off to see if it would heal and when I came back it still hurt. My throw was very flicky then so I decided I would need to change it or it would keep on hurting but I then had an accident and badly broke my shoulder so I could not throw for 18 months after that but when I re-started nothing was right was a long time before the shoulder eased fully but the wrist kept causing me trouble. Then in 2014 I broke my hand which affected my release for a long time and still does sometimes, it kind of sticks now and then. But all these problems also caused me to have a bout of dartitis which was not good so I felt like giving up. But I do the reviews as a way of still being involved as best I can even though I dont throw as well as I did ten years ago I would rather throw crappy than not at all. A few months ago though I jarred my wrist playing tug with my dog and its been steadily getting worse since. I am seriously thinking about learning to throw left handed which should be fun lol :)
