My son bought me a set of 22g Simon Whitlock darts last Christmas. (My fav player) I've used them all year and improved my scoring significantly. You will surprised, the shape is perfect in my opinion for repetition. I thought I might struggle for a while as I've used standard shaped darts all my life, but no I love them. I'd never swap back to others now. 180s on a regular basis. I'd recommend to all.
I play the Whitlocks since a few years and love them. At the last World Championship I think, he played a Dart with this grip in front of the scallop. I liked it and my hopings got real. Thank you for your nice work, hope my writing was not as bad as my darts playing 😅 Greatings from Germany.
PS : if I'm the happy one who win this setup, we have to talk about shipping costs, I would pay them. Such a nice Dart and my first ever win, this couldn't stay in England 😅
Thanks Darren interesting darts look a bit like bees 🐝 lol 😂 congratulations on 29k subscribers 👏 looking forward to all the board updated reviews 😉 🎯 happy darting 🎯
yeah I think the looks is what wants me to try and get more used to throwing them, problem is by the time I got used to them they would look terrible lol :)
I currently use the Peter Wright Black Racer darts which are similarly shaped, but center weighted. According to Winmau, these are rear weighted and might be even better for a rear gripper like me. Thanks for the review. 🙂👍
thanks for showing this set interesting barrel design but should have a grip pattern over the entire barrel length nice color combination doesn't look bad thanks for the good review
@@DartsReviewChannel This set just for my collection. I've got the Simon Whitlock Special Edition Darts for play. I'm just affraid the gold will wear down after playing for too long :)
I still want these darts, but one big letdown was when I learned about the gold coating being actual gold...I don´t think the gold coating will hold for long if you play much and often. Objectively too beautiful to play them, a dyed-in-the-wool showoff dart for the collectors among us.
No the gold wont last as its just plating, the ones he used to have when he first went to Red Dragon if I remember right had gold plating at front and that wore off but mainly just where they were held, looked patchy but was nice while it lasted, guess its easy enough to re-plate them if we want though :)
@@DartsReviewChannel : same with any dart which isn’t just silver tungsten but even that fades over time … any coating wether it’s pvd, the diamond element will eventually fade or get damaged it’s inevitable, also friends on how much u play how good you are whilst playing (grouping or the darts hitting each other) I’ve got darts that a year old never thrown and stored in cases and still have faded slightly 😂
Recently he's using something similar to them you mention with widely spaced grooves and what appears sort of shark grip style and a scallop mixed in. Very hard to describe and he hadn't much success with them either.
I have a set of the original Whitlocks like these, its the same sort of dart just plain tungsten. Have to say the black and yellow coating makes them look much nicer.
I had a little throw of these at darrens yesterday albeit we both aimed at different segments so the darts didn’t collide they were lovely to throw , very smooth and suited my grip quite well being a front gripper …. Whoever wins these will enjoy them that’s for sure 👍🏼 the loxley robin hoods were suited more for you Darren yesterday hitting bullseye after bullseye 😂 what was it 3 or 4 in 9-12 darts lol
@@DartsReviewChannel similar to my grip with the 24g whitlock's i currently have ... but these do look like a better grip on the scallop with the way they're cut
Woo boy lots of machining on those darts darren . Darren do you know of a website for bobby george i am tryn to get his new set of darts autographed to add to my other autographed set of his Thanks in advance
I have an older version of Simon's darts and they are great. With the use they lose the grip and get more difficult to control, but they are good darts
How do we win these Darren? Do you just need to be subscribed or do we have to comment on a certain vid? I use the silver Whitlock's and wouldn't mind trying them. Also what weight are they? Sorry if you said in the vid lol
video for giveaway will be posted Sunday as mentioned in review, all dart info is always in the video, in description is time index, click it and it takes you to all the right sections, 23g :)
@@willabrams9449 yeah I think in most cases things are just altered just enough for the sake of making a new model for more sales, but thats business I guess :)
@@DartsReviewChannel no, believe it or not I still throw my old voks detonator darts from years back. Helix points. I haven’t played in a very long time but your channel has gotten me interested in joining a league again. I don’t see many people talking about movable point darts anymore due to better boards now
yeah movable points are not really needed, they may have been useful to some extent on the old round wire boards though. Boards these days are so much better than them old fat wire ones lol I still have plenty of movable point darts but its more for collecting and the fun of them really :) Good luck if you start up again though :)
@@rsb7165 cant really do anything about chipping, it happens with all darts, gold will fade quickest as its just gold plating and not gold ti.

@@rsb7165 yeah its a pity, its why some people will not have darts with coatings they prefer the natural look but then again some kind of like the battle worn look too.
@@DartsReviewChannel sure I've said before Darren i use scalloped darts. I can never grip a straight barrel dart correctly without it slipping through the back of my hand. Then if I grip too much I have no accuracy. Weird....
Everyone wants to see the Whitlock darts yet they only suit about 1% of people. These ones look good but will the playing tarnish like something Ratner's used to sell
Congrats on the 29k Darren! Them darts are very bling….. good luck all
Thanks mate! :) Lovely looking darts :)
That's one of the nicest darts I've seen for a long time now. Good shape, colour and design and well priced. Thanks for that one darren
No problem, does that mean you are buying a set?
Maybe the wife will buy me some for xmas
@@martinburch2416 hope so then 😊🎄⛄
Congrats on the 29k subs !!! Look forward to years of great reviews. Cheers Darren ✌🎯🇺🇸
Thanks 👍

Sounds good, I guess given enough time we can get used to any dart :)
I liked that last set of his (Simon Whitlock) I got. They were a higher gram though... I would love to try these out
if you liked the last ones you should like these too, they look great! :)
Great review Darren! Congrats on 29K!👍
Thanks mate! hopefully 30K not too far away, will have to think of something special for that :)
Like the look of these over other Wittlock darts. Looking forward to giving these a try. Great design, looks and style! Enjoy watching your reviews!!!
Thanks mate, loved the look of them when I first seen them but knew they won't work for me 🙂
Well done on 29k!

Great😁 the balancing is the same, like the older ones or isn't it?
@@Der_Kobold_180 it's really hard to balance, still to the rear
I'm excited to get them in my fingers and throw them in to the board. 😁
I'm usually not a fan of this shape but seeing how the fly from the rear grip, I would consider these.
Its one of them strange darts, they either work or they dont, only way to know is to give them a try :)
@@DartsReviewChannel Maybe I'll win them!
Great review! A beautiful dart I'd love to add to my Whitlock collection. Cheers!
Thanks mate, you should get a set, they look good even if just displayed :)
Congrats for your 29k! Beautiful Darts, I love theme. Hopefully I win this ;)
Thanks 👍
Such a lovely dart. Great review Darren!
Cheers 😊
Great review darren these darts are awesome 😍
Thanks mate, they look great for sure :)
Thanks Darren interesting darts look a bit like bees 🐝 lol 😂 congratulations on 29k subscribers 👏 looking forward to all the board updated reviews 😉 🎯 happy darting 🎯
Yeah they do lol cheers Vic👍🙂
Really nice looking dart! The colours blend together so nicely, It would take some practice but I’d certainly throw them! 😍👌
yeah I think the looks is what wants me to try and get more used to throwing them, problem is by the time I got used to them they would look terrible lol :)
For me as a rear gripper, they 'd be great I think. On top of that they are just incredible looking.
Yeah think they are great looking darts :)
Very unique, nice looking set of darts, I would definitely have to try them before I buy them.
Yeah has a lot of strangeness but who knows, they may work perfectly for you 🙂
Simon ist by far my favourite player. Love the Rainbow version. Gold ones seem very nice as well
He certainly does some unique things with equipment 🙂
I currently use the Peter Wright Black Racer darts which are similarly shaped, but center weighted. According to Winmau, these are rear weighted and might be even better for a rear gripper like me. Thanks for the review. 🙂👍
I have some of those half reviewed :) Cheers :)
Gold and black mixed awesome, nice intro
Yeah very nice, cheers! :)
That black and gold combination looks stunning.
it sure does, are you getting a set?
@@DartsReviewChannel if this will be available here in Philippines, i’ll probably avail it.
They look so boss, so Nice looking darts!
Agreed! :)
Class lookin dart...I have his old set love them.would love these to add to the collection... grate review
Thanks Alan 👍
Great review Darren I might have some drill bits in shed to use as points lol
Lol why not 😁
Looks really nice. I'v wanted to try these Simons unusual shaped darts but never had a change.
Always good fun to try something new
wow!..beautiful!..excellent!..absolutely amazing!
Great looking set of darts & as usual great review 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
thanks for showing this set
interesting barrel design but should have a grip pattern over the entire barrel length
nice color combination
doesn't look bad
thanks for the good review
Cheers Peter! :)
Great darts mate love the scalloped section and with the vecta stems thats a combo of gods
👍🙂
I need these in my collection 🔥 Beautiful Darts!😍

Cheers Brad, look great but not for my style sadly
@@DartsReviewChannel Same for me as I hold a barrel up front like yourself.

Must be having tinker like Wright

@@Chelskie-darts even more amazing considering I see two of them lol :P
@@DartsReviewChannel : 😂😂
i really like the look of these ... my grip would deffo be from the scallop
Think Whitlock grips with his thumb in that :)
@@DartsReviewChannel similar to my grip with the 24g whitlock's i currently have ... but these do look like a better grip on the scallop with the way they're cut
the shape definitely would encourage trying different points to grip from..interesting
Deffo :)
Whitlock darts have never been a favorite but he is fun to watch!!
Yeah he is :)
I wanne try these, great channel by the way. Keep going on
Thanks 👍😊
Very nice looking darts and although a weird shape think they'll be good for middle/rear grippers
Spot on Tom 👍
Looks great.. I hope it will be available here in the philippines.. 🥰
I hope so too!
Really like the colour combo on these I get on well with the older version had my first 180 with them, hopefully will with the new ones ;)
Well done, you should like these then :)
@@DartsReviewChannel I get on better holding the rear section of the dart it seems to be for me anyway more accurate but I'm usually a middle hold 👍
Nice looking darts!!
Woo boy lots of machining on those darts darren .
Darren do you know of a website for bobby george i am tryn to get his new set of darts autographed to add to my other autographed set of his
Thanks in advance
Don't know any that do that but maybe best to just message Bobby on his Twitter and he may help you out 🙂
@@DartsReviewChannel will do , thank you darren for your time
I have an older version of Simon's darts and they are great. With the use they lose the grip and get more difficult to control, but they are good darts
Cool! Thanks for the feedback, always handy hearing about how people get on with darts, helps others too :)
@@DartsReviewChannel I'm glad I helped
They look interesting. I would love to tey them.
I have one scalloped set but it is not as severe as these.
Interesting is a good word for these lol :)
How do we win these Darren? Do you just need to be subscribed or do we have to comment on a certain vid? I use the silver Whitlock's and wouldn't mind trying them. Also what weight are they? Sorry if you said in the vid lol
video for giveaway will be posted Sunday as mentioned in review, all dart info is always in the video, in description is time index, click it and it takes you to all the right sections, 23g :)
IMHO really a very nice looking set of darts. Would love to give them a try ;-)
👍
Be nice to try this dart style out
worth a try as its one of them weird darts you just cant be sure of until you do :)
They look very nice. I like combination black and gold
Yeah it's always a striking combo like green and white lol
@@DartsReviewChannel Absolutely. Overall design is not typical for the dart at all but color variation is something what I really love.
Nice! I think I have to by these.
You should if you like them :)
Like those darts, good luck to everyone. No need to add the shirt Darren just joking, chocolate will do. Stay safe
LOL the giveaway video will be posted later today, I may add something extra to it :)
Bling bling, great review
Cheers! :)
I love weird shaped barrels. Would love to win these!!!
Yeah its always fun to have a few weird sets, I know I have lots :)
They look nice, I'd like to try them👍
Would like to see them after a couple of weeks solid play with them see how that beautiful black and gold hold up nice looking arrows i gotta say 👍
They certainly won't look as good when worn, as it's gold plated it will wear away more than gold titanium would 🙂
Is Simon’s setup different from the sets on public sale…??
I think he has been experimenting with some different ones lately
@@DartsReviewChannel cheers…👋🏼👍🏼
They do look cool even if difficult to throw for many!
Very true
They do look unreal
They do 😊
Love these as I sometimes throw the winmau snipers
They will suit you fine then :)
I’ve tried these before and the weren’t for me, but they do look great and anyone who wins them will have a great edition to there collection. 👍🏽🎯
Yeah like many darts they are worth a try at least, only way to know for sure :)
Nice darts, like those better than the SE version!. 👍
Agreed!
Lovely darts and great giveaway
Where can I get these a180 told me they not getting them in stock don’t no why
Try Double Top Darts
I think a rear gripper can be throw with these,but If I'll win these set I don't know if can I throw them, too beautiful
They look so nice I buy a set just to display lol
@@DartsReviewChannel ahahahah great move...can you'll do a video with your display collection? I'm curious about which sets you display and why
Everything is all messed up now so nothing is on display but I am hoping to start organising it all soon.
Good luck to everyone and Good Darts👍🎯
Draw video will be posted later today 😊
@@DartsReviewChannel ooops😁😂👍
Incredible looking darts would still have to throw them if I was lucky enough to win
I love the look, really want them to suit me but sadly they don't
Nice, they look nice but will it have enough grip for me ;-)
they do look nice but a mix of grips and a strange shape so only you can decide :)
Nice looking darts
How do you compare these to the original Simon Whitlock Silver 90%?
Been a long while since I tried those but there is not that much difference from memory :)
