A stunning design. The gold chevron pattern seems quite elegant yet functional and the masonry block type area near the rear make a nice contrast. Eye catching and intriguing but expensive in my opinion. I'm not a fanboy of any particular player so paying extra for a name is difficult for me to wrap my head around. For that type of price point I would only be motivated with included accessories like a hard shell case, extra stems, flights and possibly some extra points that won't chew the daylights out of my board. For those who do not collect darts, this could possibly be the set to top them all. None of my personal perspective is meant to be negative, it is just me keeping it real. I do very much so like these darts but would keep them on the long list due to the cost / value ratio. Thanks again for a spectacular review, as always outstanding work Darren.
Cheers! I have had lots of half finished reviews on my hard drive, its just now and then I cant throw due to aches and pains, not that I can throw anyway lol but it usually holds me up :)
Another Great Review Darren! Really like the look of these fantastic looking darts! Just wondering if you can get hold of the new Red Dragon Ross Montgomery darts and Lisa Ashton darts to review if possible please!
Gorgeous darts! I love black and gold and the little cut groves on them look really cool. Can't say I like a hexagonal shape to my barrel, though. What do you think about Whitlock's new hexagonal points? It's hard for me to believe they actually matter. I'd love to try them, though, and he sure does seem to be playing well with them.
Its got a slight hexagonal feel to the barrel but its not a try hexagon shape. No idea about the Whitlock points but will be fun to try them although I think I prefer normal ones :)
Thanks! May be best with front weighted torpedo style, like Harrows Predators, Loxley Scarlett, Shot Druid, not necessarily those exact darts but ones in that kind of shape. Might also be worth trying a short bullet style too like the John Lowe shape.
@@DartsReviewChannel Thank you for the answer. I researched the darts you suggested. On Shot's website, it says the balance of druid darts is in the center. Maybe you wanted to suggest Celt Cernunnos?
@@DartsReviewChannel It's not important. I'm just trying to choose the dart that suits me with your information. Thank you for taking the time to answer.
Great quality video, awesome review ( as always), eh! Way to pricey!! Btw! Anastasia and/or Corey c seems like a awesome darts for you and The Kite flight 😊. Keep up the awesome work .
Thanks! lol I have a lot half done on my hard drive but my wrist has been bothering me for weeks now so its holding me up really. Its a good dart but pricey! :)
Great review as usual Darren, nice looking barrel, I'm just wondering what's happened to hold coated darts, I know the gold ti is one of your favourites. Is it just me or is every manufacturer now making far more black coated darts, a few years ago gold seemed to be alot more common!
Nice review . Mine were already in the post, but it's nice to see your review anyway. Did you feel any obvious differences from the first gen aside from the grip?
Beautiful darts. I'd like to offer some advice to help strengthen your wrist. Make sure to go steady and light at the beginning so you don't aggravate it but this will help strengthen it without damaging it if you go light. Use a small weight less than 5 kg and hold it in your hand whilst resting your forearm on a table. Slowly move the weight from side to side as if rocking the weight. Do this 8 times for each side and youl see your wrist get stronger.
Thanks Robert, its been a problem for nearly 10 years now on and off, I think its some kind of RSI but in the last few months its got worse since I jarred it playing tug with my dog.
@@DartsReviewChannel have your forearm flat but when gripping the weight your Palm should face inwards as you grip the weight thumb at the top then rotate your wrist to the left then right
thanks for showing this set i have the rvb gen 4 target makes good sets the gen 2 looks like a really good set too nice triple shame about your third arrow otherwise you had 2 tripples what are your favorite sets if you had to choose 3 what would be your top favorite sets to play with thanks for the good review
Thanks Peter! Hard to choose as my faves keep changing, but have used Harrows Predators a lot, at present also liking the Shot enso and Harrows NX90 and Unicorn Balista :)
@@DartsReviewChannel thanks for the honest answer definitely check out those 3 sets I am a shot fan of shot darts and I buy a set every month now also buy from other brands if your favorites change often yes then I can never have enough sets
I was watching a match between Kyle Anderson and RVB in one of the aussie tournaments both using these points... Board was barely usable after a couple of games. I would not be playing with these at home. Boards are dear enough without needing to replace them twice as often. I wonder what they are like sticking in the board with regular points??? Good review though :)
Could You please review the Target Stephen Bunting gen1 in 12 grams? My setup is short plastic stem, no ring and pear flight and this makes the dart go fast and straight.
I actually want to buy RvB darts as a souvenir. Are the Unicorn darts bedder for this( he has won more with them) or the target gen 2? What do you think?
you actually didn´t made a review about the current Jamie Caven Darts right ? Unicorn Mastro 90% Jamie Caven Phase 2. They´re not new but one of my favourite darts. Great looking, great grip and they fly very well !!
Ooooo really really like those even more than the last review love that grip I often wonder why there isn't more vertical grips rather than the typical hoops.
This is difficult to explain, but i'll try... Is the rear part grippy not just towards the front and back of the barrel, but around it aswell? Like the grip in buntings 2 gen?
@@DartsReviewChannel So would it be possible to play with 2 first gen and one second gen darts... cause i would buy them to use if one of my darts i use gets damaged... or are they to different for that?
Yeah the price is really only the bug bear but I guess when you compare to the price of the Elysians that had the same grip they are cheap compared to those but still got the great machining :)
@@DartsReviewChannel I'm not the real Phil Taylor i'm just a big fan the darts looks good but there's one thing that i don't like of the darts couse it looks like the same of barney's darts i love the grip of the gen 4 but i don't know should i buy it?
A still think all darts that are these prices should definitely come with a couple of sets of flight and stems. And maybe even a case of some sort... Really nice darts tho 👍
The dimensions are just nice for me at 25gm, but the moment you described the front grip being not overly grippy, I kinda dampened myself from making that impulse buy lol. I really want this dart but would like a grippier front section. I'll try it once my local shop has supply. And this is the first gold darts I like the design of. I'm usually put off by gold but they made it nice, and I'm biased 'cause its Barney haha.
how would you rate these vs HARROWS PREDATOR . I can get these for $80 Canadian(second hand like new from a friend) vs about $60 for the Pred. I'm a front grip lobber. Do you think the grip will last? Thanks
Well if you need more grip then the Predator will be better but the RVB95 is still a great dart but I dont think the front will be grippy for as long as you may need.
@@DartsReviewChannel maybe they're not out yet. But he played with new darts this weekend, and because he's just recently signed a contract with Bull's, I assume some new darts will drop in a few days. Stay tuned for that ;)
Stunning darts but literally has destroyed my game...can't release the dart very well ...straying into the 12 regularly .. go back to my old darts and i start playing better...anybody notice this with target products??
That expensive and don't come with a case to keep them in after removing them from the box. 😐😑 Hope the best dealing with your wrist. Of all the parts of your arm to have trouble with throwing darts and it just happens to be your wrist. #OUCH 😨😵😨 Being a real trooper making these reviews in spite of it. Not sure i could if it was me. 👍💪
Thanks mate! Its been an ongoing problem for years, it started in 2009 and I had about 4 months off to see if it would heal and when I came back it still hurt. My throw was very flicky then so I decided I would need to change it or it would keep on hurting but I then had an accident and badly broke my shoulder so I could not throw for 18 months after that but when I re-started nothing was right was a long time before the shoulder eased fully but the wrist kept causing me trouble. Then in 2014 I broke my hand which affected my release for a long time and still does sometimes, it kind of sticks now and then. But all these problems also caused me to have a bout of dartitis which was not good so I felt like giving up. But I do the reviews as a way of still being involved as best I can even though I dont throw as well as I did ten years ago I would rather throw crappy than not at all. A few months ago though I jarred my wrist playing tug with my dog and its been steadily getting worse since. I am seriously thinking about learning to throw left handed which should be fun lol :)
I don’t blame him, He is constantly throwing different darts for reviews. How could he get used to them all? I do notice he likes throwing those winmau aspira darts though.
@@shaunmurphy260 well Its his first throws. There isn’t any bullshit where he has been playing for an hour or so, thats What I like. You see what you get, and not false advertimesnt hitting 180’s everytime because of the darts

Thanks Peter! :) Yeah a pricey dart which is really the only issue I guess :)
Hi, in your opinion what are the best set of Raymond Van Barney darts you’ve reviewed?
I think it was the Unicorn Phase 5
Awesome review keep it up. Can you do the Target Daytona Fire GT next.
Thanks! :) Dont have any GT but if you fancy buying me a set I will review them lol :P
Could You please review the Target Stephen Bunting gen1 in 12 grams? My setup is short plastic stem, no ring and pear flight and this makes the dart go fast and straight.
I already reviewed the 23g version so not much point in reviewing the 12g, would just be the same but lighter :)
G'day just a comparison thought for you..... How would you rate these against the Snake Bite Euro II Element?
probably prefer these
Great Review! Keep up the good work!
Thanks mate! :)
I actually want to buy RvB darts as a souvenir. Are the Unicorn darts bedder for this( he has won more with them) or the target gen 2? What do you think?

No I have not reviewed them, will add them to the long long request list :)
TARGET DAYTONA FIRE GT02 95% what do you think of those darts?
Not tried them but they look a good dart
You should review the linkvision darts. I think you will be impressed with everything about them
Ooooo really really like those even more than the last review love that grip I often wonder why there isn't more vertical grips rather than the typical hoops.
Its a nice feel but I think its not going to be liked by everyone, one of those types you need to try first :)
Love your dart review on all darts. Can you do a review ofLeighton Bennett darts ?
Thanks mate! Yeah I bought a set a while ago, will try to get them reviewed in the next couple of weeks if I can :)
Ok, thanks Darren.
But can a dart like this be used to play or is it ruined? Sorry for my english im italian😀
yeah lots of people use them
Is the flight the ten-x or the #6, cause the flight that comes with it is slightly smaller than a #6
Small standard no:6 is what mine came with. :)
This is difficult to explain, but i'll try... Is the rear part grippy not just towards the front and back of the barrel, but around it aswell? Like the grip in buntings 2 gen?
Yes it is kind of like that because of the cuts you can feel the edges of them :)
@@DartsReviewChannel thanks
No worries :)
Milwaukee Brewer fans will enjoy that Grip zone at the front.
(Tell me you can all see the shape of an ear of wheat/barley, inside the tungsten cage)
LOL it does look like barley :)
Is there a big difference between this darts and his older one or can you easily switch between them?
They are quite different in feel to his Unicorn P5
@@DartsReviewChannel I mean the first generation of this darts
Sorry my mistake, there is not a big difference really unless you hold the dart on the rear grip.
@@DartsReviewChannel So would it be possible to play with 2 first gen and one second gen darts... cause i would buy them to use if one of my darts i use gets damaged... or are they to different for that?
Hmmm, not sure I would do that myself, I think that would feel a bit strange really.
Top review as always, thanks. After looking at the pattern on the front of those darts I really fancy a weetabix now.
LOL yes its just like wheat :) Cheers! :)
Nice review
Thanks!:)
I've hit more 140s and 160s in my life with my 21g rvb95's but I can't get them to double on the top half of the board for shit
I remember when I tried some 19g Manleys years ago, was great on the doubles but could not hit any trebles, weird! :)
Man o man,amazing looking dart,just a shame i will have to wait 10 years before i can afford them.
LOL so thats £9 a year, get saving! :)
Nice review like the darts
Thanks mate! :)
Thank you 😀
