🎯 Target Josh Rock G1 SP Steel Tip Darts
These darts are a serious head-turner with their stunning blue and gold aesthetic. Crafted from 90% tungsten, they feature a straight barrel with a tapered nose. The unique precision milling and dynamic celled grip pattern runs the full length of the barrel, providing a distinctive and aggressive feel. The set includes gold Swiss Storm Nano points with nano rings for enhanced board grip, part of Target's patented Swiss Point system for easy tip changes.
Customer reviews are overwhelmingly positive with an average of 4.9/5 stars. Players praise the fantastic build quality, excellent balance, and the aggressive celled grip which provides a new level of confidence and control. The longer nano-grip points sit flush with the barrel, minimising bounce-outs. The blue and gold design is frequently called some of the best-looking darts on the market.
The celled grip is designed to be quite aggressive — players who prefer smoother barrels may need time to adjust. The Swiss Point system requires the included key tool and isn't compatible with standard screw-in points.
🏆 Our Verdict: The Josh Rock G1 SP are a superb choice for serious players wanting professional-level performance. The innovative design, aggressive grip, and high-quality components make them fantastic for enhanced control and confidence at the oche.
🎯 Target Kevin Doets G1 SP Darts
Crafted for "Hawkeye" Kevin Doets, these 90% tungsten darts feature a straight barrel with a tapered nose, providing a clean, balanced throw. The grip is a series of expertly engineered radial grooves offering a consistent and reliable hold without being overly aggressive. Fitted with Target's Swiss Fire Points combining precision milling with nanogrooves.
Players highlight the premium feel, excellent balance, and the reliable radial groove grip that provides excellent control without excessive "bite". Multiple sources praise these as superb value for money, offering professional-level design at a competitive price.
The radial groove grip is a classic choice but may not suit those wanting a more innovative or aggressive style. As a player-specific design, those preferring front-loaded or heavily tapered barrels may need to adjust.
🏆 Our Verdict: An excellent choice for players who value a classic straight-barrel design with modern, professional-grade components at a fantastic price.
🎯 Target Darts Hydro 01 — 90% Tungsten
The Hydro 01 is a visually striking dart with a classic straight barrel profile. Its defining feature is the vibrant blue PVD performance coating at the rear, enhancing both aesthetics and grip feel. Target's signature high-precision radial grooving provides a more intricate, fine pattern concentrated at the rear — the primary grip zone.
The contrasting natural tungsten front and vibrant blue PVD rear is called "stunning". The aggressive fine radial grip at the back is a major hit for rear-grippers. The 90% tungsten ensures a slim barrel for maximum scoring potential with universally praised machining quality.
Front or mid-grippers may not fully benefit from the rear-focused grip zone. The PVD coating may show signs of wear over time with heavy use. Barrel length sits mid-range at around 50mm.
🏆 Our Verdict: An outstanding choice for rear-grippers who value an aggressive, secure hold and a premium look. Target's engineering excellence meets a dazzling aesthetic.
🎯 Target Exo 03 Swiss Point — 90% Tungsten
The Exo 03 blends classic straight styling with modern grip technology. Precision-machined from 90% tungsten with a 50.5mm barrel, it features a tapered nose for tight grouping and a natural tungsten finish with radial grooves and a continuous ringed grip. Available in 21g and 23g with Swiss Point technology.
Players love the Swiss Point adaptability, the balanced Level 3/5 grip ideal for mid-grippers, and the excellent stability from the tapered nose. Often regarded as a great entry point into the premium Swiss Point system without the top-tier price tag.
The grip is focused centrally — front and rear sections are smoother. Stock 26mm points may feel short; many upgrade to 30mm or 40mm Swiss Points. The 23g model at 6.5mm is slightly thicker than ultra-slim competitors.
🏆 Our Verdict: A fantastic choice for mid-grippers wanting a classic straight barrel with Swiss Point convenience at an accessible price point.
🎯 Target Redux 03 Swiss Point — 90% Tungsten
The Redux 03 takes a "back to basics" approach — a sleek, minimalist barrel crafted from 90% tungsten with a 52mm straight, parallel shape. The natural tungsten finish features precision-cut radial grooves and minimalist sandblasted sections for added texture. Equipped with Swiss Point technology.
Players praise the refined grip feedback from the mid-level radial grip with sandblasted "matte" zones. The center-balanced profile offers an "honest" flight that doesn't over-correct. The stripped-back design appeals to purists who prefer natural tungsten over flashy coatings.
At 52mm, it's a relatively long barrel that may require shaft adjustment. Players needing Level 5 aggressive grip may find this too subtle. The tapered nose transition is less aggressive than some competitors.
🏆 Our Verdict: A sophisticated, "no-nonsense" dart for purists who want high-quality tungsten focused on balance and simplicity over gimmicks.
🎯 Target Nathan Aspinall x Echo — 90% Tungsten
A specialised collaboration infusing "The Asp's" world-class barrel shape with the Echo series' tactical, high-grip architecture. 90% tungsten with a front-loaded profile designed to "pull" the dart through the air. Features a Black PVD coating with precision-milled silver sections and signature red ring accents. Swiss Point equipped.
The sophisticated mix of radial grooves and CNC milling provides an aggressive Level 4.5/5 grip. The front-loaded balance offers "self-correcting" flight stability. The black and silver contrast makes this one of Target's most visually striking darts.
The grip is very "busy" — smooth-release players may find the CNC milling too intrusive. The PVD coating will show silver "battle scars" from tight grouping over time. The front-loaded nature can make these feel slightly heavier than stated weight.
🏆 Our Verdict: A high-performance, tactical dart perfectly suited for front-weighted, high-grip players wanting maximum feedback and Swiss Point versatility.
🎯 Target Keane Barry — 90% Tungsten
The signature darts of "Dynamite" Keane Barry. Classic 90% tungsten straight barrel with a slight taper at the nose to minimise deflections. Features precision-cut radial grooves running the majority of the barrel length with a natural tungsten finish. Available in 22g and 24g.
The radial grooves provide a Level 3/5 grip — tactile enough for security but smooth enough for zero drag on release. Centre-weighted for incredible versatility across all grip styles. At approximately 6.2mm diameter (22g), these are among the slimmest 90% tungsten darts available. Natural tungsten resists showing wear.
Players needing Level 5 aggressive grip may find these too smooth. At 52mm, shorter-dart players may need to experiment with shaft length. No flashy coatings — pure tungsten and precision grooves for the purist.
🏆 Our Verdict: A sophisticated tool for the "pure" thrower — reliable, slim, and balanced without unnecessary distractions. If you want a dart that lets your natural ability do the talking, "Dynamite" is the way to go.
