    The Adrian Lewis Contender darts seem to get good reviews from people.

    i use these, 22g, with the grip on the left.

    I use them with short stems and regular poly flights


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 132 ✭✭Shane190


    I use these 24g Phil Taylor darts. The barrel is quite long and has a lot of grip. I use small shafts and find them a brilliant set of darts.

    When I broke a dart on my ceramic floor, I discover these as well.

    They are alright.

    The darts that I had were a set of 24g Unicorns that were dilled out by a guy in London Ontario (Jeff Pickup)and fitted with a stainless steel moveable point.

    Phenominal set of darts. If I can find the other two barrels, I may find someone to cut me another set a close to them as possible.

    I used to throw 23 gram Tough Coat Gorrila Grip Hammerheads. I love the knurl and feel of the dart, but I don't care for the finish on the points. They tend to wear away and the darts 'wiggles'.

    Currently, I have a set that I assembled online 22g barrels with a circular barreled knurl - short stems and hard poly amazon flights. I also use the original stainless steel moveable point designed by Jeff Pickup that I had on the drilled out Unicorns.

    Just picked up a new set of darts while back in the States. They are keepers (so far) with a really nice knurl and a narrow barrell (23 grams)

    Looking forward to getting some use out of them in the very near future.

    Using unicorn 26 G Peter Manley mid range, they're not the darts Manley uses, his picture is on the box and the similarity ends there. Great all round grip, must admit I like the look of Stompe's darts too, might have a look for them. Having trouble getting a pic of them but they sell them in Elverys!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,364 ✭✭✭death1234567


    I use these. Assassin's, 21grams. Mine are real thin, I use the long stems and slim flights.

    I'm have 25g "Barneygrip" darts.. Excellent grip on them,

    I got a 23g set a fair while back. Had them up here to sell or swap but not takers, I couldnt get used to them at all. Gave them a try over the xmas and been using them for a lot of games since. They really are good when you get used to them. Had to change my grip slightly but hitting a large amount of 100's with them.
