"Nice allrounder dart that works well with every grip style" is a summary I fullheartedly agree with. Nice 160 out , too... you´re still the best darts reviewer out there and I hope we ´ll see your fair and reliable reviews for years to come, Darren.

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Thanks Chris, will be around as long as I am able to 😊

Never knew that your favourite colour was green 😉 another great review, thank you for the detailed specs as looking to pick a set of these up! Thank you!

Thanks Brad, lol you know me too well 😜

[@robertreader6539]

Amazing to think what darts lool like now compared to the 80s and yet the biggest improvement made in that time is the thinned spiders on the board. Makes the achievements of Bristow and lowe really stand out

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Yeah sure does and the boards do make more of a difference than people appreciate, when you try a round wire board after using the new ones the amount of bounce outs is shocking.

These darts look awesome I might have to pick a set up! 👌

Great review as always. We could all tell you in the beginning that you were excited to review these. I don't know if I should buy these to use, or put them on the wall as a decoration.

Nice looking despite the coating…….I just wish I had the money to check out all the darts I think would suit my throw. Straight deep cut rings plain tungsten, but until I win the lottery it’s stick to the ones I have. Great review as always Daz 👍🏻🎯🎯🎯

I would give a 10 for match weighting....Excellent quality control by Winmau...

[@DartsReviewChannel]

no 10 is only when all three match, these score 9.5 :)

[@chrisgraves9430]

Like the look of the actual barrel, not keen on all the colours as they would probably look rough after a short while when the finish is worn/scratched off. Enjoyed the review as usual Darren

Most of the colour is in the grooves so should last fairly well 😊

Among all the brands you review, I've really took a liking with the Winmau brand (bad habit,i guess)😂 Upon seeing these Firestorms (too colorful for me though)... I was wondering if what your opinion is on the Winmau Fury's (22's or 24's) since our fav weight of 23g isn't available 😁 Thanks. 🍺🍺🍺

[@davidcummins1108]

@@DartsReviewChannel That’s what I thought about the Winmau Joe Cullen Gen 1’s. The red coating in the scallop section started to peel off after about 3 months use. That experience would put me off putting these.

[@DartsReviewChannel]

@@davidcummins1108 is that where you hold it too? Do you sweat much? Only ask because it seems some people wear coatings quicker than others, no idea if its things in the sweat but one guy I know wore the coating off the Harrows Aura in just a few hours! my coating on that same dart lasted many months. Same with the Winmau Paul Nico darts, same guy wore it in no time, mine still looked fine after a year of use, I am not talking about barrel and barrel contact, just the actual coating wearing off where he held it.

[@davidcummins1108]

@@DartsReviewChannel I will send you on a picture Darren of the way they currently are. I don’t sweat at all when gripping or throwing the dart. I think what may have happened is that the point of an incoming dart has made contact with the dart that is in the board as the paint has come away in chunks rather than wearing off in bits. I have two sets of Joe Cullen’s (21 and 23g) and it has happened on both of them

[@DartsReviewChannel]

@@davidcummins1108 cool will check it out 👍

[@colinjohnstone457]

A good looking dart,, it seems the fashion is for longer darts these days,, 50 mm and over,, dont see many new darts at shorter lengths being manufactured,, green is my fav colour as well but then I’m a Celtic fan,👍

[@DartsReviewChannel]

yeah I think there does seem to be a trend for longer barrels, I usually prefer around 48mm myself but I do like my Target Sprint darts and I think they are over 50mm but more often than not a longer dart is worse for me :)

[@colinjohnstone457]

I’m currently throwing an old set of winmau ‘high impact’ original data, only 45 mm long but flying better for me than ever, I emailed winmau about buying a new set but they don’t make the original dart anymore,, so I’ll just keep chucking the old ones,,

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Winmau and Red Dragon are very good at discontinuing old models, all brands do it but I notice it more with them

This is the only time that blue and green should be seen. Think these will have to be got just for collection, with points replaced by rrainbow ones.

[@ianallcock]

Compression sleeves do they work ?

its a hard one, I think it helps with blood flow a little and has a nice comforting feel, wont make you throw better though if thats what you mean :)

@@DartsReviewChannel I struggle with my elbow/shoulder on my throwing arm probably due to getting old and after any ideas that can help

[@DartsReviewChannel]

@@ianallcock well I put it on as I could not find my wrist strap I have lots of joint problems, hand, wrist, shoulder, knees, back, even my feet and ankles ache so if I could wrap my whole self it may help but doubt I could throw then lol but I think wearing the sleeve helps to some extent but I would not say it's going to eliminate any problems you may have 😊

It's supposed to have a grip number of 5 from winmau, which is their most aggressive rating?

My ratings have always been out of 10. We all feel the grip level different depending on how sensitive your fingers/nerves are but over the 10 years I have been doing this more often than not the ratings from the brands themselves are usually off and more people have agreed with my own personal rating than the brands. But as I said we are all different so you may agree with them 😊
