Target Darts

Josh Rock G1 SP Steel Tip Darts

5/5
First Impressions & Design

90% tungsten with a straight barrel and tapered nose. The defining feature is precision milling and a dynamic celled grip pattern running the full barrel length — aggressive and distinctive. Gold Swiss Storm Nano points, Pro Grip shafts and Josh Rock signature Pro Ultra flights included. Blue and gold aesthetic is one of the most striking in the Target range.

Pros & Cons
What We Like
Exceptional build quality — premium 90% tungsten feel
Aggressive celled grip provides outstanding control and confidence
Nano-grip Swiss points reduce bounce-outs significantly
Complete, match-ready setup out of the box
Things to Consider
Very aggressive grip — takes adjustment if you prefer a smoother barrel
Swiss Point system requires the included key tool for tip changes
🏆 Our Verdict
The Target Josh Rock G1 SP is a superb choice for players who want a professional-level dart with maximum grip and a truly distinctive look. The Swiss Point system future-proofs the setup. If you want enhanced control and confidence at the oche, these are worth every penny.

Hydro 01 90% Tungsten Steel Tip Darts

4/5
First Impressions & Design

90% tungsten with a visually striking blue PVD performance coating on the rear section. High-precision radial grooving concentrated at the back creates a distinct rear grip zone. Classic straight barrel profile, slim for tight grouping. Comes with Pro Grip shafts and matching Pro Ultra flights.

Pros & Cons
What We Like
Stunning blue PVD finish — genuinely distinctive
Rear-focused aggressive grip — excellent for rear-grippers
90% tungsten ensures a slim, premium barrel
Straight barrel versatility suits most throw styles
Things to Consider
Grip is rear-focused — front and mid-grippers may not benefit as much
PVD coating may show wear in heavy-contact areas over time
🏆 Our Verdict
The Target Hydro 01 is an outstanding choice for rear-grippers who want a premium look alongside genuine performance. Target's engineering quality combined with the eye-catching aesthetic makes this one of the best-looking darts available at this price point.

Redux 03 Swiss Point 90% Steel Tip Darts

3/5
First Impressions & Design

90% tungsten, approx. 52mm straight barrel with a subtle tapered nose. Natural tungsten finish with precision-cut radial grooves and minimalist sandblasted sections. Centre-balanced profile. Swiss Point Technology included with Short Pro Grip shafts and Redux Edition Pro Ultra flights.

Pros & Cons
What We Like
Refined grip — radial grooves plus sandblasted matte zones for tactile contrast

Honest, straight flight path — ideal for consistent throwers
Clean natural tungsten aesthetic — purist look
Things to Consider
At 52mm it's a longer barrel — adjustment needed from shorter darts

Subtle nose taper — pairs best with tapered Swiss Points
🏆 Our Verdict
The Target Redux 03 is a sophisticated, no-nonsense dart for the purist player. It strips back the gimmicks and focuses on balance, simplicity and the utility of Swiss Points. Not for grip fanatics, but for the consistent, smooth thrower this is a top-tier contender.

Technical multi-zone grip provides maximum control
Swiss Point versatility for competitive play
Visually striking — black, silver and red contrast is stunning
Things to Consider

Natural tungsten finish resists wear and battle scars better than coated darts
Things to Consider
Subtle texture — not suited to players needing Level 5 aggressive grip
No PVD coating or complex milling for those who prefer premium looks
At 52mm it's longer than bullet-style darts — needs shaft adjustment
🏆 Our Verdict
