The style repeats but we are back to black here.Ĥ0.5-50.0mm ***Rear Showtime logo section*** Same as either side but the wide rings have been machined to remove the 3 micron thick layer of applied vapour coating.ģ1.5-40.5mm ***Rear Triple Black Ring Section*** Start of the barrel is the same thickness but has some minimal grooves cut into it to break it up.ġ7.0-31.5mm ***Central Quintiple Silver Ring Section*** simple angled and flight friendly.Ġ5.0-17.0mm ***Front Quad Black Ring section*** This blends perfectly with the black point and its uniform conical shape. So less options to muck it up and stay smooth. the grip level is consistent on the length of the barrel so you can't really shuffle your fingers about to radically alter the physics of your throw buy gaining a different flavour of grip. There isn't much to report about the way they fly, straight barreled darts. But it always takes me more than a few chucks to get my fingertips scrubbed in and the barrels up to temperature. But once you find the grip and the throw it is all good. It always takes me a few minutes to warm up to using these. relax soften your grip and let the darts fly. But these are more refined - more elegant. I can see it being a real issue if you are used to some brutal uber-grip. You will need to rely on your fingers soft grip - like a gecko on a polished mirror. Those sharp bright neon pink grooves? They will hit you with an invisible touch. Low silky grip is the warning that comes with these. Hmm that line of white chalk dust powder next to my board is also conjouring up some Georgio Morodor/Flashback FM songs. Maybe it is just me but it conjours up an early 80's Miami or Los Angeles. It isn't the full Juggler Queen, with a Mirror Ball, smoke machine and some strobe lights in the 40 watt range. The actual looks of the dart remind me of a cyberpunk Tech-Noir nightclub: black shadow, exposed machined chome metal and thin hot pink neon striplights. (Can you see the RMS Titanic's sister ship here?) (Olympic Dazzle) The bold way the barrel is broken into three parts, Black front, Silver centre and Black rear also seems to shrink the darts length with some optical illusion like those laser beam thin neon grooves, but it is every one of those 51millimetres in length once you get the tape measure out. My go to set of 23g Straight Barrelled darts are the basic Winmau Argos Navigator 2's 6.35mm - well these little rosebuds are even thinner than those, not by much, but enough. The darts look big and chunky in a photo, In reality they are way slimmer. Simple but classy.ģ Gradiented black/clear ST Coregrip Polycarbonate Short Stemsģ Standard 100 micron flights Pink mesh with a white core spine and a white Showtime brand logo.

Did I regret buying a set of darts with not just one but thirteen hot pink grooves though?Ī glossy thin windowed cardboard box with the contents in a thin vacuum formed plastic tray - mine were loose inside the tray but the darts were in a point protector and the stems and barrel were fine - The parcel my dart came in was a bit bashed up (Royal Mail's area) but the darts weathered that storm without any damage. Last set on the shelf - It was either buy them or live to regret not getting them. I only rediscovered darts in 2017 - so it was a real, 'A-ha!' moment when I realised these were the darts of the vocal girl who was the soundtrack to the 2018 final "COME ON MUM!" in the background between throws. If I didn't get them I may never get them and they were a set that I had liked the look of but the price and the "normal shape" always counted against them when I would get that next set. However, the stock of them was getting lower and lower. I liked the look of this set right off the bat way back in 2017 when I first saw them, but that was amazingly two long years ago and I never pulled the trigger, mostly as they seemed to be the same as an Argos Navigator 2/3 but with way less grip, big risk of damaging the darts coating and cost almost FOUR times as much when I bought my £9 Navigators when they were on sale. Merging technical achievement with power beauty and high scoring potential.Īnother set that were on their own at Darts Corner. Lancashire's latest gift to the oche and.
