£102.95. I remember when I were a lad I could pick up a set of his Phase 2 from Argos, get a Blade 3 board, have a curry night, five pints, a cinema ticket, annual subscription to Darts World, a big bag of Revels (pre-shrinkflation) and still have change from that.
LOL Revels, I liked Minstrels :) If you look at the price of the Unicorn Phase 5 Rosso from 2011 they were £80 which is the equivalent of £125 in todays money, so guess on the whole they are cheaper now than then :)
Darren; really nice review. Those seem like keepers for you; you threw them pretty well. Can/t wait until you review more of the newly released dart sets. Thanks and keep the reviews rolling.
These seem to be flying pretty well for you!! Another great review! Sorry, I've been MIA been getting some things taken care of. Give Rocky some love!! Hope all is well by you
I like John Lowe style darts, I just can not get on with the tiny Taylor flights, I have to literally grip my dart like Taylor to make them work. Much better with a K Flex system, lovely to throw in 26g.
Nice looking darts. The short barrel and tiny flights give a very balanced look to them and they seemed to be flying pretty well for you Darren, although at best part of AU$200 they won't be on my wish list anytime soon.
I think they look good, some are saying they look awful but guess its all what the individual likes in the end. They are never cheap though, sadly. Flew far better than I thought, cheers! :)
Its been a long time Darren haha. If you ever go to Q-School or Challenge Tour, maybe you should use these Taylors. You're a master at those tiny flights, better than I can do xD
It has, hi mate! :) LOL I have days where my throw feels ok, think it may have been one of those days, although nearly hit a max with them this morning, they are fun to throw :)
Those darts look so amazing! You threw then well compared to your other Taylor vids. They would definitely sit in my hand nicely. Great review as always Darren! But I think you should do the giveaway... you've had these darts for ages now... lol😆😆😆
I have the gen 9s from last year, which look almost identical to these. It’s a lovely dart, only difference is they don’t have those new grooves on the front. Quite like the navy flights though, would go nice with my gen 9s too
You seemed to throw them well.👍🏼 I am a wheelchair user and I used to play with the board at regulation height, so I bought the 26g, but now I have the dartboard lower I probably could have went lighter. I do throw ok with the vapor s flights but I eventually went with the slightly bigger Vapor flights.😂 It’s clever from target darts though. Even though Phil has his struggles with playing darts these days, they’re still able to sell a slight variation of his darts every year. Although he is a legend to be fair.
Another great review Darren…… a stunning dart but to short for me…….but the k flex I think are a game changer at that price point compared to the condors and l style
a very nice looking set... expensive but well worth it if you are looking for a nice looking bullet style dart... i got the gen 9 and they are awesome.. had to switch to the standard flights though cause they were flying all over the place with these small ones :D
Which would you say are the best Phil Taylor darts youve reviewed since you’ve reviewed most of them. I’m thinking bout getting either the gen 4, gen 10 or gen 7s but not sure
Imagine if you used the K flex stem and flight for the challange part, you might have achieved even better numbers. These little flights are for pros only.
Thought I’d take a punt on a half price set on eBay. I’m not 100% convinced yet. Have you thrown them much with other flights and did they feel better than the tiny supplied ones?
Not one set of Taylor darts in my collection and these won´t change that. Nice lookin´, but hella pricey for what´s in the package. I´d rather buy the Cernunnos from Shot for that much cash...😉
II think its the same as all the sandblasted target darts and on any brand for that matter, its just a surface finish, so does not last as well as I would like sadly :)
Hello I would like to buy them in soft tip. Do you recommend them to me as a front shot? But I like a big grip, I'm afraid it won't be enough. sorry for my English I'm French 😅
@@DartsReviewChannel OK thanks. What do you recommend as a front shot dart (not very big) with a big grip? And thanks for all the testing. The videos are of very good quality! 👍
@@Moi0011 Thank you! :) Will you be holding the dart in the middle if its a short dart? A lot of front grippers can hold short darts in the middle because they are short, but if you are holding a short dart at the front then maybe try something like the Mission Kuro M4 or Unicorn Utech 3 or the Shot Centurion or Shot Mecha. :)
the flights are really bad. It's coming out easily but it's pain to re-insert them. I like how they flo but I spend way to much time putting the flights back... they really sucks
@@Stephenlarmour yeah as I mentioned there is not a whole lot of difference to some previous models, I think its just for me the others I reviewed were 26g and this time its 22g but I also seemed to be holding them in the sweet spot which I felt was right on these even though it was not 100% where I would instinctively hold them :)
Just got these and after a while using the taylor small flights just seemed really smooth and straight definitely prefer them to standard shape flights
Forget it. Its got those damn swiss points. Also looks like a damn pen 😂 Sorry to say it, but the target swiss points are pretty sh*t to be perfectly honest with you all. Great design, crapply manufacturing makes them snap, chip or blunt extremely easily. Should take some notes from mission, their points are very hard wearing and less prone to snapping.
Nice Looking darts. But the coating is the greatest ......ever. Playing 10 sets and the coating disapeared. For an expensive Dartset like this a shame.🫣 Maybe Target should sell them without the coating.

When Taylor started using Lowe's darts with his "old face" fives 😅 I know it was phase but I just keep laughing 😂
LOL it was a special time! :)
As always.....the best review (-channel) out there 👍🏼 keep going, Darren 👌🏼
Thanks BJ! Much appreciated! :)
So clear design... really professional. Thanks for the video Grand Master!
Thanks mate! :)
The Master found his Darts👍🎯

Darren; really nice review. Those seem like keepers for you; you threw them pretty well. Can/t wait until you review more of the newly released dart sets. Thanks and keep the reviews rolling.
Cheers Mike 👍😊
These seem to be flying pretty well for you!!
Another great review!
Sorry, I've been MIA been getting some things taken care of.
Give Rocky some love!!
Hope all is well by you
Yeah they were, thanks mate, I will, hope all is well for you too, I am good thanks! :)
I like John Lowe style darts, I just can not get on with the tiny Taylor flights, I have to literally grip my dart like Taylor to make them work.
Much better with a K Flex system, lovely to throw in 26g.
Super nice dart from Target.I think you're throwing better than you ever did,no matter what dart!!!
I have improved I think, still have way too many wayward darts but that's just the way my throw goes at times I just lose the feeling lol
lol hoped so much on a give a away, cant blame ya, throw myself for years with the gen 95's! keep on the good vids!
LOL thanks, maybe next time for giveaway :) Its a nice dart when you get more play time with it :)

Started well on doubles then downhill mate. Nice looking darts,but prefer straight. Class review as always mucka.

Nice review again. Can't wait to see reviews on the 975s, Asps, and the K-flex.
Thanks Edward, had to buy some marines, couldn't resist 😂
@DartsReviewChannel I am going to get the Asps and Marines after I see the reviews you do
@@edwardkiperman8436 The Marines look amazing but not sure its a very practical grip, but who cares, I want to try them anyway lol :)
@DartsReviewChannel Having more than a few sets isn't practical. But we aren't practical. Lol
@@edwardkiperman8436 LOL very true! :)
Those darts look so amazing! You threw then well compared to your other Taylor vids. They would definitely sit in my hand nicely. Great review as always Darren! But I think you should do the giveaway... you've had these darts for ages now... lol😆😆😆
Lol I broke the stem so no good for giveaway now 😜 but yeah they flew well, might be the lighter weight?
@@DartsReviewChannel It's only the aluminium top, which are cheap to replace... the lighter weight definitely helped
I think it did 😊
Very very nice dart! Great video 👍🏻 best regards from Germany
Cheers mate! :)
Thought you'd turned into Taylor after the first 2 darts Darren. 😂
Great review as always.
Catch up soon.
Taylor shmaylor 😜👍
No giveaway, don’t blame you! I think you found some keepers. 👍
Think so :)
I have the gen 9s from last year, which look almost identical to these. It’s a lovely dart, only difference is they don’t have those new grooves on the front. Quite like the navy flights though, would go nice with my gen 9s too
I think the fact I have tried lighter ones this time must have helped :)

@@jonnybrown1687 Yeah I think his darts will always sell well as long as they keep making them. Good luck with your darts too! :)
Great review Darren wish target did them with normal points
Thanks mate! :)
Phil Taylor+ Target darts brand of Taylor + Darts review channel = L🎯ve.. quality.. 👌
Sounds like a good formula 😜😊👍💚
@@DartsReviewChannel 💯 on 💯 happy 🎯 darting & high power, I'm feelin' alreadyth :-) gr8 quality man.loss of words..llap 🖖
Thanks 👍😊
Another great review Darren…… a stunning dart but to short for me…….but the k flex I think are a game changer at that price point compared to the condors and l style
Thanks Andrew! So far I think the K Flex are looking very promising, and a better price for sure :)
Usually switch off when taylors name is mentioned. But i like the look of the darts.
Nice one, seems like they have divided opinion on the looks, some like them and some dont :)
Nice looking Taylor dart. But the price is to high but what is not high these days in price hahaha. Good review as always Darren.
Yep so many things expensive now, cheers 😊
Nice review yet again
Thanks Pete 👍😊
a very nice looking set... expensive but well worth it if you are looking for a nice looking bullet style dart... i got the gen 9 and they are awesome.. had to switch to the standard flights though cause they were flying all over the place with these small ones :D
Yeah I usually dread the tiny flights😁
Which would you say are the best Phil Taylor darts youve reviewed since you’ve reviewed most of them. I’m thinking bout getting either the gen 4, gen 10 or gen 7s but not sure
Probably the Gen 10
Imagine if you used the K flex stem and flight for the challange part, you might have achieved even better numbers. These little flights are for pros only.
I thought about it but I love the fun of a challenge with the tiny flights even more :)
Morning I posted your video in my community section you have some awesome content my friend 🤙🏻
Thanks! 🙂😉
Thanks Darren! How do would compare the grip with the G9 ? they have similar patterns.
Its very similar around the middle but I think the G9 were a bit grippier as the grooves had a bit more width :)
Thought I’d take a punt on a half price set on eBay. I’m not 100% convinced yet. Have you thrown them much with other flights and did they feel better than the tiny supplied ones?
yeah I used them with some Condor Axe, fly well for me, I will be keeping them :)
I love some Taylor’s darts, mostly the earlier ones. But I think these look horrendous.
Its all down to individual tastes, as a whole set up I think they look good, not the best out of all the Gen 95's but not the worse.
@@DartsReviewChannel yeah I like the nose of these it’s just the rear ;)
@@Timesend I forget which one had the pimple kind of grip, but I quite liked the rear on that one :)
Currently use Shaggy gen 2s but these darts really interest me I can’t justify the price though
Not one set of Taylor darts in my collection and these won´t change that. Nice lookin´, but hella pricey for what´s in the package. I´d rather buy the Cernunnos from Shot for that much cash...😉
All individual preference. My only gripe is there is not a whole heap of difference from previous models but still a nice dart all the same.
Very nice Darren, suited you sir. They fly very well, got them standing up even with them tiny flights💪you got the power all rit
Thanks Dave, did a lot better than I expected, felt good to throw which was nice :)
Is the sandblast section the same as on the Gen 8? That damage very quickly
II think its the same as all the sandblasted target darts and on any brand for that matter, its just a surface finish, so does not last as well as I would like sadly :)
I've wanted to give them a go. I'll need to start taking up donations. 😁
LOL! :)
Hello . is it possible to know which arrow was the absolute winner?
You mean from the challenges? I think I had the final table in my last review of 2023
The final tables are in here: ua-cam.com/video/zJRCeoazbQ4/v-deo.html
@@DartsReviewChannel thanks
Have you tried them with your own set up? Did you like it more?
yeah, it was fine but I kind of like the challenge of throwing with the little flights, so satisfying when they go well :)
Nice looking darts
Another nice set of Taylor darts. Always wanted to try a set of the Power 9fives but the price has always prevented me from buying a set.
Keep your eyes open for special offers or try getting a used set for much cheaper :)
@@DartsReviewChannel I might start browsing Ebay for a set. Need at least one set of Taylor darts, he's always been one of my favorite players.
@@Cocogomez I am sure there will be lots on there, and the new G10s as people try them and dont get on with them, its always the case :)
Hello I would like to buy them in soft tip. Do you recommend them to me as a front shot? But I like a big grip, I'm afraid it won't be enough. sorry for my English I'm French 😅
If you like more grip then I don't think they will be right for you
@@DartsReviewChannel OK thanks. What do you recommend as a front shot dart (not very big) with a big grip?
And thanks for all the testing. The videos are of very good quality! 👍
@@Moi0011 Thank you! :) Will you be holding the dart in the middle if its a short dart?

@@DartsReviewChannel I'll look at it . thank you very much
Thanks Darren really enjoyed the review. These flew really well for you 👍🏻 Rocky the main star 🌟 approved i assume. 🎯 Happy darting 🎯
Cheers Vic, yeah he approved 😊 keep getting close to hitting a max with them so don't think it will be long before I do 👍
lol can i have those darts C.mon you dont need em.
great channel mate
LOL Thanks! You are right I dont need em, I just want them lol :P
great channel maate
you should go pro .lol
@@DartsReviewChannel
@@iceotonicalos you dont just get to decide go pro. You need the talent and skill to go pro 😂
so what prize do i win i was spot on when i said it was 100 percent the Phil Taylor G10s when you asked us to guess what your reviewing next 🤣😜
Ah but you forget to mention the K Flex, so you have forfeited the prize which was 1 Trillion pounds, unlucky! 😛
@@DartsReviewChannel oh dammit lol but technically you did not include a picture of the k flex so Riddle me this ? 😂
@@covertnarcisisticawareness1025 ah but I thought about it and as the old saying goes "it's the thought that counts" 😜😂
@@DartsReviewChannel good darting nonetheless so you liked them 22gs best by the look of things as you played well with em 😉
@@covertnarcisisticawareness1025 yeah felt good to throw 😊
Bonjour je souhaite acheter ces flechettes quels poids max me conseillez vous pour jouer sur granboard?
18g
Haah high powa almost came around 🤣
Very nearly! :)
the flights are really bad. It's coming out easily but it's pain to re-insert them. I like how they flo but I spend way to much time putting the flights back... they really sucks
If you unscrew the alloy top then put the flight in then screw it back in it should be easier.
@@DartsReviewChannel Thanks I'll try that :)
I've always been a fan of Taylor's darts but not at that price.
no doubting the fact they are pricey, but a lot of Taylors darts have always been pricey ever since the Unicorn Phase 5's :)
well now we know wy they are called the power 😁
Yep lol! :)
Think u were liking them bad boys mate?! 😂
Yeah I was, its just so satisfying when they fly right lol :)
@@DartsReviewChannel new match darts? Did they fly even better with ur own setup or k flex flights?
@@Stephenlarmour I have not tried any other set up yet, its just so much fun trying to get these flying well :)
@@DartsReviewChannel fair! I had the last set of Taylor’s I don’t see much difference other than the notches at the front…
@@Stephenlarmour yeah as I mentioned there is not a whole lot of difference to some previous models, I think its just for me the others I reviewed were 26g and this time its 22g but I also seemed to be holding them in the sweet spot which I felt was right on these even though it was not 100% where I would instinctively hold them :)
Just got these and after a while using the taylor small flights just seemed really smooth and straight definitely prefer them to standard shape flights
I think it's the speed of the darts with those flights but you need a clean release or they go at funny angles 😊
@DartsReviewChannel yea they are quick to the board but overall feel good
pricey, maybe a good idea for a giveaway? 😉
as I said I thought about it but think they are flying nicely so will keep them lol but I marked them up anyway :)
Thanks for the giveaway...oh wait...nevermind. 🤣
Not this time, will have to get something else 😉
Gen X finally get a set of darts - Guess the next set will be narcissistic, lazy and unreliable Millennials.
nice review - Have a good one!
Lol very good Vic 😁

Was ok 😜
@@DartsReviewChannel still its a borring review without Rocky The Main Star 🦮🎯
102,95 pound terrible price!! And then not a specialty swiss point. This is eating your flights
Still comparatively cheaper than the Unicorn Phase 5 Rosso from 2011, in todays money they would be priced at £125!
