Would love to see a video with your darts collection one day, or perhaps only the most unique ones. Did not expect number 4.... thanks for not adding that clickbait to the video title :P "number 4 will definitely surprise you!!!!"
😂 No click bait on this channel. I'm honestly not much of a collector. I get rid of most of my sets so I don't keep playing with different sets all the time. The big collector is the Darts Review Channel. He has 1000's of darts and I know people have bugged him for ages to upload a look at his collection. Would probably be one of his most watched videos if he did it
Nice to hear that you know about them being from the states. More proof that awesome darts don't have to cost a lot and work just as well as ANY dart on the market. Congrats on the title 👍
Thank you WWD for the great dart videos. I've taken up darts since COVID started and your videos have helped me make some purchases that are working out really well for me. In particular, Designa Dark Thunder, Red Dragon Double Agent (Pegasus) and Javelin. Also, because I've been buying low- price tungsten darts, the flight punch purchase has been a smart purchase. Thanks for your help.
As of now I only have one set of darts, I've had them for 20+ years and as a weekend player I've had no reason to even look at other darts, however lately I've started playing more, I find my old bottleson devistator hammerhead darts slip from my fingers too often, the paint has completely worn off and they are like mirrors, after seeing your review of gabriel clemens generation 1 darts I ordered myself a set, should be here Thursday, I'm hoping they will be my match set
That will be a huge upgrade over movable point darts. One of the all time greatest gimmicks in darts. Trust me, I'm American and thought I needed them back in the day. Anyway, great choice with the new set 👍🏻
5 - Target Tony O Shea 22g (Old Grip Style) 4 - Raymond Van Barneveld Triple B 25g 3 - Unicorn Raymond Van Barneveld Phase 3 25g 2 - Datadart Icon 25g 1 - Unicorn Raymond Van Barneveld Phase 5 25g
Only ever owned two sets of darts, first set is Scott Waites 23g in black, and second (current) is Target Agora Ao4, the best and only darts I could ever need! I love them! Maybe one day ill change... These barrels with Harrows dimplex just look incredible and the grip is insane!
I have tried lots of different darts since I started to play again 2 years ago now, it had been 37 years as a youth when I last played for a team. Big shout out from me for the 22g Simon Whitlock soft tip convertable darts and the 22g Gerwyn price soft tip convertable darts but in the end I simply designed my own darts and had them made in 95% Tungsten in the Uk by Custom made darts, in the Taylor or Lowe shaped barrels with simple ring grips to stop big deflections that you get with close grouping with many of the modern heavy grip darts. They are also M3 type darts which means with outer threads to get the weight density with the short 40mm long and 6.9mm at the middle widest point and spot on matched 20g barrels. I have used literally around 50 or 60 different sets of darts to work out exactly what I required and then I had my own made, top quality 95% tungsten seemingly unmarkable and with the screw in M3 points for steel tip which are 37mm and the Kite shape flights they are trebles and bullseye magnets in both steel tip and soft tip formats.. So impressed by the M3 style darts that since then I have picked up a couple of sets of the long thin mass produced sets from Empire darts from ebat , one set are steel tip 5,5mm barrel 54mm long in 22g, the other set soft tip 20g 5,6mm 20g soft tip set up 22g steel tip set up. I still have my original darts 28.3 gram Custom made darts taylor style darts and a set of 2ba 5.8mm soft tip darts from custom darts. I love to throw different sets as I get bored throwing the same set all the time, lockdown has meant throwing lots of darts for me, I am lucky as I have a steel tip board in the house and a i Darts soft tip board that links to the internet so I get to play against players all over the wold online. When lockdown is over I will show these M3 slim darts to my Portuguese darts team mates as they will love them and let them try them even have them for my cost... but for me the M3 outside thread Taylor or John Lowe shaped barrels with simple ring grips that I designed and had hand made by Custom made darts in the UK are my serious match darts for both steel and soft tip.
Favorites at the moment: 1. Red Dragon Featherlights - 16g 2. Peter Wright PL15 - 22g 3. Winmau Foxfire - 21g Well thats about it - all with long Tornado or Storm Points or at least tridents. Also use the Cosmo Carbons thanks to WWD!
I've used the designa dark thunders since about February time such a great dart that you really can't go wrong with no matter where you grip the barrel 👍
1. Target Glen Durrant darts 24g 2. Harrows Glen Durrant Duzza 2 darts 24g with red & white rings 3. Winmau Daryl Gurney gold version 25g 4. DPC Level 5 24g designed by an ex-countie player Neil Birkin 5. Legend Wayne Mardle silica darts 24g
About darts: You can always consider buying a soft tip version and get them conversion points. I have done it for some time cause I use light weighted darts to play steeltip darts. Now I have find two almost perfect sets for me.
My top 5 5. Unicorn Barney phase 1 21g 4. Monster Helios 2 18g soft tip 3. One80 Tricky Ricky Edwards 16g soft tip 2. Monster Helios 22g steel tip 1. One80 20g Rebel 1st Gen steel tip w/reflex point
Just the other day I was looking at the Monster Raijin II dart. I think that's DJ Sayre darts? I almost pulled the trigger on them. Those were on clearance as well lol
Thanks Tristen! Right! Every time I place an order I can't believe how cheap things are. $22 BEFORE the discount for a complete set of Dark Thunder's is just silly. Especially for a 90% tungsten dart. Cheers 😀
hey world wide...just watching this video and its funny that your second favorite is the Tommy dart multi ring. up until March of this year I only ever threw that dart. however mine were 22gram. my favorite part about the darts is it takes forever to breakdown the grip...it stays true for quite awhile. presently I am using the designa razor grip v2 dual micro grip. love em. with a medium nylon stem with the Robson plus flights
Nice throwing, I can only wish to achieve those skills one day. My current favorites are as listed 1. 22gr. Eric Bristow Durros 2. 22gr standard Eric Bristow 3. 22gr. Accudart 222G 4. 23 gr. Laserdart black eagles 5. 22 gr. Laserdart black widows!
1- Cosmo Juggler Queen 3rd 360's 2- Monster Leveret 3's 3- Red Dragon Lisa Ashton's 4- Showtime Neo Bombs 5- Designa Stiletto 23g (Copper Tungsten) But I have fun with all my darts
I may have to get some skinny supermodel darts - got some 6.3mmx50mmx23g but I have looked at the One80 dragons (Maybe the fire dragon?) or the Bavaria dart with seems super skinny... Have you seen the darts TROLL had made for him - Russian Phase 2... They are 98 % tungsten 4 mm x 60mm x 11 g. They won some Russian tournament. "Salavat Yulaev Cup 2019" 98% Tungsten from the Soviet Union. The flights come in any colour you like, ...so long as they are red!.
I have a couple of sets of those Ted hankey darts they are phenomenal nice list the older designs of darts seem to be tryed and tested I always seem to go back to them
My 14g Atomised Hankey's are the only dart I feel comfortable with. Tried soooo many others and nothing else works at all. Forked out an absolute bomb getting a second set in case I ever lost them...and low and behold I did end up losing a singular dart. SO glad I got the second set and can keep using them. Hope to god I don't lose any more!!! Have to say though, hardly anyone I play with likes them, very very niche dart. But those that do use them swear by them.
They really are a special dart. The 14g are completely different from the heavier ones. I also like the fact that the 14g are almost totally hollow. So you can add a few grams if you desired. Great darts 👍
@@WorldwideDarts Would you say the 16g Onyx darts throw in a similar way? I really want to find 'backup set' that I can get on with. One thing I struggle with is darts with a lot of grip, they just stick to my thumb and come out at weird angles all the time...it's why I love the smooth barrels, I can let them slide.
@@TwoGuysOneAcoustic Yes, they're very similar for sure. I thought they would be completely different but the barrels are almost identical. The grip level on the black ones is mild as well. GREAT darts! 👍
I was playing with the Harrows Gyro darts 26g for many year until I heard that Harrows discontinued the Gyro darts so I was a bit sad, so I've changed to the Designa Crusaders, they're exactly like the Gyro darts but without the knurls on them
I LOVE Designa stuff!! The Designa Crusader soft tips, now discontinued are some of my favorites. I did a video on them years ago. The affordable dart video
5.) 23g Unicorn T-90 (#06512 in the 1990 catalog), a sentimental list entry only (it was my very first set). 4.) 26g Hi-Tec Bandit, knurled for your throwing pleasure - but why am I telling you? I'm sure you have a couple sets of these yourself. 3.) 26g Harrows Assassin, my current backup set for when I'm having a worse night than usual with my match darts. Same width as the match darts but longer, which for some reason seems to help when I'm throwing worse than usual with the shorter ones . 2.) 26g Nodor NR-206, formerly known as Red Dragon Amberjacks before they were phased out and replaced by the next entry on this list. No longer available, but a lesser version with identical looks and specs can be found as 26g Hi-Tec Tigers on Pure Darts 1.) Nodor NR-212, a.k.a. Red Dragon Amberjack 7 and several other aliases, partially knurled for your partial throwing pleasure. I'm sure you have a couple sets of these, too.
5. Winmau Andy Fordham red white blue ringed version 4. Harrow's Glen Durrant gen 2 3. Unicorn phase 5 rosso 2. Harrow's Eric Bristow knurled 1. Harrow's Wayne Mardle
Very similar to darts that I like. The Eric Bristow 95% tungsten soft tip dart is my all time fav soft tip. My late best friend played with those. Thanks for the comment 👍🏻
Just got back into darts after a 10 yr layoff. Back in '85 I purchased a set of 25g Pirahna steel and a set of Tarantula soft tips. I used those and a set of 24g Great White darts for nearly 20 yrs. Since getting back to darts 2 yrs ago, I've purchased about 15 different sets and am still looking. So.... 1. Pirahna 23g/Great White sharkskin 24g 2. Harrow's Spina 22g 3. Harrow's Predator 24g 4. Red Dragon Jamie Lewis 23g Still haven't found anything better than those Pirahna darts...
@@WorldwideDarts Absolutely. Found Perfectdarts first and bought several sets. Found out about Darts Corner and others since then and I don't even shop the U.S. stores anymore. The darts from England are definitely the best, the stores are helpful and friendly, and they are a lot cheaper. They have earned all my future business.
Great choices I also throw with a set of 180 Dragons they are blue 20 grams I used to play with 18 gram Bob Anderson's In fact I still have a set he gave me at the North American Open in 1990 after I threw a 170 out he said I am glad it was not against me a great guy....
Wow! Bob is one of my all time favorites! I actually fortunate enough to play against him in Canada at the Le Scracth tourney held in the late 90's early 2000's. He was in my group and I played him last. I needed to win ONE leg to advance to Sunday's knockout. Thankfully I won the throw and got the first leg to take the pressure off. I lost 3-2 but had a couple darts to win. Ran into PDC #3 Roland Scholton on Sunday and that was that. I did win a set with a 135 checkout though to make it 1-1 in sets. Lost 3-1. One of my playing highlights lol.
I mentioned on a vid before i love my Dennis Priestley ones they fly proper good and strong. Used them for two years. 21 gramms i got and black and blue flights. I played a leg against him for Cancer charity great guy too.
Great video!!! Where can I get me some Hankey's?? I will have to think of my top5 and get back to u on that!! I was a bit surprised at your order and thought your ONE80's would be top spot but u throw those Hankey's awesome....
Thanks Jules. Hankey's have been discontinued sadly enough. I mentioned this to another person here but I'm really not a fan of my own match darts. They come way too long at 56mm and I can't stand the Reflex points. Luckily I was able to customize them and now love the darts. I suppose that's why the Dragons came in at #5. They're the closest thing to my match darts stock out of the package. Cheers
@@ryanw5569 Have you ever purchased from UK dart shops? I have no idea where you're from but the prices are drastically different from US dart shops. Imagine buying a 90% tungsten dart for $15? Unheard of here in the states.
@@WorldwideDarts Yes, I almost buy exclusively from the previous bargain videos you've made. I've probably ordered at least 6 sets of darts (I like to try new sets) from videos you made.
That's a Target Storm point. I have a new Hankey review video coming really soon. I'll be putting in black Target Storm points in these too.... imgur.com/2Zxewwh
The Bob Anderson is such a great dart and nearly made my list. I prefer the older version though. I have a set of his older darts. I'd love to score the 18g version
Thanks. Yeah, I've heard of that shop before and know several people that ordered from it years ago. I've never used them though. I'm going to send them a message and see if they can find me the 15, 17 or 19 gram set I'm looking for
Alright WWD, don’t know if you remember but I recently sent you a pic of the Dennis Priestley special edition darts I got, i’am really enjoying throwing them but they are just a little bit grippy, so I was going to get his standard set that you showed up here but I cannot see them anywhere in 24g and I was wondering was this dart made in 24g at all, the special edition do.
Worldwide Darts thanks m8, yeah the 23g and 25g seem to be widely available, I think I’ll take a chance on one of those it’s not like their top price range and i’am loving the barrel shape it seems easier to get a repeat throw with them which is difficult enough for me. Got to agree with you m8 their a fantastic dart 👍
What made you go with super kite flights ? Did you ever use standard before ? Also why do you prefer light weights (14 through 18 grams) vs heavier (20 through 24 etc..) ??
Hi Randy thanks for the comment. When I first started playing I used standard sized flights. When I got hit with a severe case of dartitis back in 1999 I switched to lighter darts and discovered they fly better (for me) with small flights. My buddy who was sponsored by Cosmo sent me some Superkites back in 2015 and I've been using them ever since. The closest comparable "normal" flight is the Target Vision Edge Taylor flights.
@@WorldwideDarts thank you for the quick and detailed response ! That makes perfect sense as to why you switched and why it works for you as well 👍. I am still fairly new to the competitive dart scene (both soft and steel as I am around the 3.0 mpr and between a 28-29 ppd for 501) so I am constantly wondering and wanting to try new setups etc.. it is nice to get feedback as to why people use the setups they do. Thanks again man great video as always !! 🍻
@@WorldwideDarts your welcome. Right now I am currently using the soft tip MVG barrels (18.5 grams) with unicorn shafts that came on a set I won at a tournament. They are a hair shorter than the long "Lstyle shaft". I'm running lock rings inside a punched standard flight. So about a 20gram dart.
I have 23gram ted Hanley , been brilliant but had a bad weekend now I've bought expensive different ones . I should stick with I have . Do you think practising to much before a league match is bad because I did 5 hours on doubles and twenty but on the night I was terrible?
Grippiest? I know Bulls makes some weird spike thing dart. Oddly enough you don't see any of the worlds best players using a grippy dart. Mostly multi ring darts.
I paid $80usd for a complete set of the gold ones. There's a video on them somewhere around here. I'd guess the silver ones would go for $50? Whatever someone is willing to pay I guess.
@@WorldwideDarts mine as well. I even cleaned them twice but still the same. Thanks for the follow up. I have 2 sets of those darts both 25 grams they are awesome darts. Keep up the great videos.
@@mikelewis4260 Thanks Mike! Keep an eye out in the next month. I have some really incredible videos coming. A bunch of great darts. I even got some new smooth ones today 👍
Red Dragon makes many of the Designa darts. As does Unicorn, Target, Nodor and Retriever Sports. Also, Nodor owns Winmau and Red Dragon. They're all the same company.
There's only soft tip around here but I do live stream on Twitch quite a bit. In some of my really old videos I can be seen playing darts against the local Bosnian s down at their pub. I threw a 7+ MPR against one of them lol
To be honest I really don't like the One80 Reload at all. At 56mm it's too long and I can't stand the ReFlex points. I was able to customize my match darts so that I liked them but out of the box I'm not a fan
I love you but how many world champions have used less then 20 gram darts the greatest Phil Taylor threw 26 gms . Your results are very good but I don't know how you'd cure dartitis without really "feeling the weight".- Bristow. But still I'd watch you over the Dart Referee or Edgar TV keep it up.
Stephen Bunting used 12 gram darts to win his BDO world title and two World Masters titles. Ted Hankey used 14 grams to win his world titles. Dennis Priestley uses 15 grams and won a couple world titles. Bob Anderson used 18 grams when he won his world title. BDO world champions Tony David and John Walton both used sub 20 gram darts and the last BDO world champion used a 20g barrel. Former PDC #1 Colin Lloyd played with 17 grams back in the day. Then if you have a look at the current top 32 PDC players in the world they use a dart that weighs less than 22 grams. Something like 21.95 grams on average. So there's plenty of players that have used extremely light darts. From my experience it seems like a lot of North American players prefer heavier darts. I think they use heavy darts because of the shorter formats. Or who knows, maybe it's part of the culture here. But yeah, plenty of players today use light darts so for many it's worth a try.
@@WorldwideDarts Those are wonderful anomalies 😉 the dominance in PDC world champions have been the heavy throwers. However Phil Taylor throws that average out of wack just a bit.
Dear Worldwide Darts My top five: 1. My custum made 27 gram (mervyn king look a like darts with ring grip on the curves) 2. Leighton Rees 27 gram 3. Ted hankey 26 gram 4. Peter manley 19 gram 5. Mitchell Clegg darts 23 gram This dart you should try its a funny dart.
@@WorldwideDarts I bought them for 30 euros and played them today i Love them theyre my new main together with the winmau cullen darts😍 The grip is amazing and its so much easyer to throw tripple 20s in a row
I've been using the One80 Dragons for a while and love them but I'm constantly breaking the stems, right where it holds the flights. Any recommendations on something better that goes with this dart?
@@WorldwideDarts Thank you! I'll give them a try. By the way, new subscriber. I appreciate your reviews and honest opinions. I've actually got the One80 90% tungsten professional 23 gram on order because of you. I like the thin, slightly front heavy, long dart for a price, like you said, can't be beat.
Man you really have some dart trowing skills
Thanks

I was playing with the Harrows Gyro darts 26g for many year until I heard that Harrows discontinued the Gyro darts so I was a bit sad, so I've changed to the Designa Crusaders, they're exactly like the Gyro darts but without the knurls on them
I LOVE Designa stuff!! The Designa Crusader soft tips, now discontinued are some of my favorites. I did a video on them years ago. The affordable dart video
I thrown a set of Marlboro limited edition 16.5 steel tip smooth for for a while. They are nice throwing for a collector's item.
5.) 23g Unicorn T-90 (#06512 in the 1990 catalog), a sentimental list entry only (it was my very first set).
4.) 26g Hi-Tec Bandit, knurled for your throwing pleasure - but why am I telling you? I'm sure you have a couple sets of these yourself.
3.) 26g Harrows Assassin, my current backup set for when I'm having a worse night than usual with my match darts. Same width as the match darts but longer, which for some reason seems to help when I'm throwing worse than usual with the shorter ones .
2.) 26g Nodor NR-206, formerly known as Red Dragon Amberjacks before they were phased out and replaced by the next entry on this list. No longer available, but a lesser version with identical looks and specs can be found as 26g Hi-Tec Tigers on Pure Darts
1.) Nodor NR-212, a.k.a. Red Dragon Amberjack 7 and several other aliases, partially knurled for your partial throwing pleasure. I'm sure you have a couple sets of these, too.
Good to see some Nodor on the list. Probably my favorite dart brand.
Purchased the multi ring darts based on this review
Beat dart connect 4-2 at 10.0
Raised my PPR From 62 to 68
Wow nice!!! Look for a review on them in the month of November. Great darts!
As I only have 4 darts
1) Red Dragon Gold Tempest - 26g
2) Unicorn Neon 2 - 23g
3) Winmau paul ‘the asset’ nicholson - 24g
4) Winmau navigator 3 - 23g
WWD any suggestions
You've got some good ones there already. Really nice darts.
@@WorldwideDarts thanks now I just need to work on my throw. One day I will beat MVG well that's the plan anyway. 😁
I have priestleys in 15 17 and 19. I used them for years before switching to target carreras.
Nice! I've contacted several UK companies trying to locate a set but no luck so far. Those things are hard to fin.
@@WorldwideDarts i would be willing to sell them
my wife has a set of Dennis Priestley powerpoint 20g from the late 80s early 90s
Very nice! The Powerpoints are definitely outdated but that's an incredible set of darts for the collection 👍🏻
5. Winmau Andy Fordham red white blue ringed version
4. Harrow's Glen Durrant gen 2
3. Unicorn phase 5 rosso
2. Harrow's Eric Bristow knurled
1. Harrow's Wayne Mardle
Very similar to darts that I like. The Eric Bristow 95% tungsten soft tip dart is my all time fav soft tip. My late best friend played with those. Thanks for the comment 👍🏻
Have always wanted those Ted Hankeys
Just got back into darts after a 10 yr layoff. Back in '85 I purchased a set of 25g Pirahna steel and a set of Tarantula soft tips. I used those and a set of 24g Great White darts for nearly 20 yrs. Since getting back to darts 2 yrs ago, I've purchased about 15 different sets and am still looking. So....
1. Pirahna 23g/Great White sharkskin 24g
2. Harrow's Spina 22g
3. Harrow's Predator 24g
4. Red Dragon Jamie Lewis 23g
Still haven't found anything better than those Pirahna darts...
Well I hope that you've discovered UK dart shops since your return to darts.
@@WorldwideDarts Absolutely. Found Perfectdarts first and bought several sets. Found out about Darts Corner and others since then and I don't even shop the U.S. stores anymore. The darts from England are definitely the best, the stores are helpful and friendly, and they are a lot cheaper. They have earned all my future business.
Great choices I also throw with a set of 180 Dragons they are blue 20 grams I used to play with 18 gram Bob Anderson's In fact I still have a set he gave me at the North American Open in 1990 after I threw a 170 out he said I am glad it was not against me a great guy....
Wow! Bob is one of my all time favorites! I actually fortunate enough to play against him in Canada at the Le Scracth tourney held in the late 90's early 2000's. He was in my group and I played him last. I needed to win ONE leg to advance to Sunday's knockout. Thankfully I won the throw and got the first leg to take the pressure off. I lost 3-2 but had a couple darts to win. Ran into PDC #3 Roland Scholton on Sunday and that was that. I did win a set with a 135 checkout though to make it 1-1 in sets. Lost 3-1. One of my playing highlights lol.
@@WorldwideDarts that is awesome,Bob and I stayed in contact for a few year through our love of fishing..he is truly a great guy...
@@magwamagwa45110 He really is. He also lays claim to one of the most impressive darting videos to ever exist. That leg of 801 he threw was not human!
I mentioned on a vid before i love my Dennis Priestley ones they fly proper good and strong. Used them for two years. 21 gramms i got and black and blue flights. I played a leg against him for Cancer charity great guy too.
I use Designa Thunder 22g medium stem and standard flights, awesome darts for there money
Keep an eye out for a few Designa dart reviews coming soon. A few of their new ones as well as my all time fav set of Designa's
Very interesting!

@@WorldwideDarts theanks
Great video!!! Where can I get me some Hankey's?? I will have to think of my top5 and get back to u on that!! I was a bit surprised at your order and thought your ONE80's would be top spot but u throw those Hankey's awesome....
Thanks Jules. Hankey's have been discontinued sadly enough. I mentioned this to another person here but I'm really not a fan of my own match darts. They come way too long at 56mm and I can't stand the Reflex points. Luckily I was able to customize them and now love the darts. I suppose that's why the Dragons came in at #5. They're the closest thing to my match darts stock out of the package. Cheers
Can you put links in the description to the sales page for each that you have available?
Links to the darts in the video? Sure, doing it now.
@@WorldwideDarts Awesome. I was actually trying to find the ones you use, but google was failing me. Just found a bunch of 25g ones on ebay.
@@ryanw5569 Have you ever purchased from UK dart shops? I have no idea where you're from but the prices are drastically different from US dart shops. Imagine buying a 90% tungsten dart for $15? Unheard of here in the states.
@@WorldwideDarts Yes, I almost buy exclusively from the previous bargain videos you've made. I've probably ordered at least 6 sets of darts (I like to try new sets) from videos you made.
What tips do you have on those Hankey's?
That's a Target Storm point. I have a new Hankey review video coming really soon. I'll be putting in black Target Storm points in these too.... imgur.com/2Zxewwh
@@WorldwideDarts awesome! Thank you. I'm going between the Hankey's and the Viper Sinister for a smooth barrel teardrop style.
1. Bob Anderson 22g
2. ONE80 Tomcat 22g
3. Michael Smith 22g
4. Gary Anderson 23g
5. Whitlock 22g
The Bob Anderson is such a great dart and nearly made my list. I prefer the older version though. I have a set of his older darts. I'd love to score the 18g version
@@WorldwideDarts I no doubt have the newer ones as I bought them off of someone.
There's a Dutch site that sells loads of old sets of darts you can't get hold of anymore. They seem to still sell the priestleys
www.darts-import.nl/
Thanks! I'll have a look for the lighter ones. 👍🏻
@@WorldwideDartsjust be aware I've never ordered from them so I'm not sure what shipping is like etc, I've just browsed the site in the past
Thanks. Yeah, I've heard of that shop before and know several people that ordered from it years ago. I've never used them though. I'm going to send them a message and see if they can find me the 15, 17 or 19 gram set I'm looking for
Alright WWD, don’t know if you remember but I recently sent you a pic of the Dennis Priestley special edition darts I got, i’am really enjoying throwing them but they are just a little bit grippy, so I was going to get his standard set that you showed up here but I cannot see them anywhere in 24g and I was wondering was this dart made in 24g at all, the special edition do.
Winmau has stopped making them so you'll have to resort to eBay if you want a set. I think they come in 23g
Worldwide Darts thanks m8, yeah the 23g and 25g seem to be widely available, I think I’ll take a chance on one of those it’s not like their top price range and i’am loving the barrel shape it seems easier to get a repeat throw with them which is difficult enough for me. Got to agree with you m8 their a fantastic dart 👍
i have 16 gr dennis priestley soft tip darts . 2 sets unused. do you interest?
What made you go with super kite flights ? Did you ever use standard before ?
Also why do you prefer light weights (14 through 18 grams) vs heavier (20 through 24 etc..) ??
Hi Randy thanks for the comment. When I first started playing I used standard sized flights. When I got hit with a severe case of dartitis back in 1999 I switched to lighter darts and discovered they fly better (for me) with small flights.
My buddy who was sponsored by Cosmo sent me some Superkites back in 2015 and I've been using them ever since. The closest comparable "normal" flight is the Target Vision Edge Taylor flights.
@@WorldwideDarts thank you for the quick and detailed response !
That makes perfect sense as to why you switched and why it works for you as well 👍.
I am still fairly new to the competitive dart scene (both soft and steel as I am around the 3.0 mpr and between a 28-29 ppd for 501) so I am constantly wondering and wanting to try new setups etc.. it is nice to get feedback as to why people use the setups they do.
Thanks again man great video as always !! 🍻
Thanks again. What darts are you using at the moment?
@@WorldwideDarts your welcome.
Right now I am currently using the soft tip MVG barrels (18.5 grams) with unicorn shafts that came on a set I won at a tournament. They are a hair shorter than the long "Lstyle shaft". I'm running lock rings inside a punched standard flight. So about a 20gram dart.
@@WorldwideDarts when I shoot steel tip I am using a screw in 30mm set of points.
I have 23gram ted Hanley , been brilliant but had a bad weekend now I've bought expensive different ones . I should stick with I have . Do you think practising to much before a league match is bad because I did 5 hours on doubles and twenty but on the night I was terrible?
1. Dylan 2. Dylan 3. Dylan 4. Dylan 5. Supa hot fire!!!
In all seriousness, what would you consider the GRIPPIEST of darts out on the market rn?
Grippiest? I know Bulls makes some weird spike thing dart. Oddly enough you don't see any of the worlds best players using a grippy dart. Mostly multi ring darts.
Checkmate by Voks or Target Carrera Azzurri
I've got a set of 15g dennis but not gold.. they are absolutely mint though.. no idea what they are worth?
I paid $80usd for a complete set of the gold ones. There's a video on them somewhere around here. I'd guess the silver ones would go for $50? Whatever someone is willing to pay I guess.
Do your ted hankey's get a little tacky after throwing them for a while?
Yes. They almost get a little too grippy. Especially in the summer time
@@WorldwideDarts mine as well. I even cleaned them twice but still the same. Thanks for the follow up. I have 2 sets of those darts both 25 grams they are awesome darts. Keep up the great videos.
@@mikelewis4260 Thanks Mike! Keep an eye out in the next month. I have some really incredible videos coming. A bunch of great darts. I even got some new smooth ones today 👍
Perfekt Video i like all your Videos . Play you darts with left or right ? 🎯
Thanks. Always been a righty
teach me how to play like you, i train so hard and i play complete crap :(
I will also love to learn from WWD.
Why the designa Darts are looking like Red Dragon replicas?
Red Dragon makes many of the Designa darts. As does Unicorn, Target, Nodor and Retriever Sports. Also, Nodor owns Winmau and Red Dragon. They're all the same company.
Great Video, do you play league darts? Because if so would you be willing to record a match some day?
There's only soft tip around here but I do live stream on Twitch quite a bit. In some of my really old videos I can be seen playing darts against the local Bosnian s down at their pub. I threw a 7+ MPR against one of them lol
No One80 Reload? Or what about Frankenstein's? But they're already kind of custom right😂
To be honest I really don't like the One80 Reload at all. At 56mm it's too long and I can't stand the ReFlex points. I was able to customize my match darts so that I liked them but out of the box I'm not a fan
What size cosmo stems do you use? They look like 2 or 3
#3 locked
What points do you use on the hankeys?
Smooth Storm points
140, 140, 180. why the hell are you not in top 10 players in the world?
I have a set of prestleys darts but there about 22 grams I think and a different version
All the jelle klaasen darts
Monster and unicorn 20 grams :)
in the german shop dartworld.de you can buy the dennis Presley Darts in the 21 gramm Version. I hope that is enaugh light for you… :)
Easy enough to find in 21g. I'm looking for the 15, 17 or 19's
I love you but how many world champions have used less then 20 gram darts the greatest Phil Taylor threw 26 gms . Your results are very good but I don't know how you'd cure dartitis without really "feeling the weight".- Bristow. But still I'd watch you over the Dart Referee or Edgar TV keep it up.
Stephen Bunting used 12 gram darts to win his BDO world title and two World Masters titles. Ted Hankey used 14 grams to win his world titles. Dennis Priestley uses 15 grams and won a couple world titles. Bob Anderson used 18 grams when he won his world title. BDO world champions Tony David and John Walton both used sub 20 gram darts and the last BDO world champion used a 20g barrel. Former PDC #1 Colin Lloyd played with 17 grams back in the day.
Then if you have a look at the current top 32 PDC players in the world they use a dart that weighs less than 22 grams. Something like 21.95 grams on average. So there's plenty of players that have used extremely light darts. From my experience it seems like a lot of North American players prefer heavier darts. I think they use heavy darts because of the shorter formats. Or who knows, maybe it's part of the culture here. But yeah, plenty of players today use light darts so for many it's worth a try.
@@WorldwideDarts Those are wonderful anomalies 😉 the dominance in PDC world champions have been the heavy throwers. However Phil Taylor throws that average out of wack just a bit.
Hmmmm

The grip is amazing and its so much easyer to throw tripple 20s in a row
I've been using the One80 Dragons for a while and love them but I'm constantly breaking the stems, right where it holds the flights. Any recommendations on something better that goes with this dart?
Designa durable nylon
@@WorldwideDarts Thank you! I'll give them a try. By the way, new subscriber. I appreciate your reviews and honest opinions. I've actually got the One80 90% tungsten professional 23 gram on order because of you. I like the thin, slightly front heavy, long dart for a price, like you said, can't be beat.
