pear flight medium stem or slicks worked well for me with these darts, i was waiting for another one of ya face expressions when you missed the third treble 20 😂
I think Lowe used the pears and slik stiks too. LOL! I was annoyed more than anything as I have done that about 8 times on my first throw in the last 5 days or so, throw a 140 first throw and then pants after it lol!
Absolutely love your videos man. Look forward to the next one. Just wondering whats your own regular playing dart?
Thanks mate, glad you like then! :) At present I have been throwing the Harrows Rapide a lot but it changes often, I have quite a few favourites but never seem to stick with one set longer than a couple of months but I often come back to some over time.
Great review Darren these are a really great dart that have stood the test of time, my only bug bear with these is I wish they came with the unicorn rainbow flights!
Thanks Stuart :) Yeah would be nice to have those flights :)
can you please review the winmau ted hankey darts atomized
I had some a few years ago, was not that keen on the feel of the coating really :)
Daz got my hero's darts coming today 27 g . Had he's original ones back in the day nice review
Nice 👍🙂
The best darts of all time.
Yes quite probably :)
Look forward to it, looked at those but length of barrel a tad long for my liking, love my Gary Anderson darts but if they were shorter they would be amazing! Straight barrel around 48mm is perfect for me!
You could always send them off to get them modified and made shorter :)
Darts Review Channel thought about it but mine are 21g so would need to buy a set of 23g and modify just to keep the weight as I'm not keen on the putty idea, looking forward to trying the diamonds, should be delivers for when I'm home from work tomorrow am 😁
Yeah you would need the heavier barrel. Or you could just get a custom made set :)
Darts Review Channel thats very true, thought about designing a set, where in your opinion does the best job on customs?
Tony at Madhouse Darts or Custommadedarts.com which is his site for customs and Grays, but Grays is a little harder to contact at times.
Nice review, where can I buy myself a pair
Any decent darts retailer should stock them.
What you think to webcam darts matches
not really had time to try them as I am always too busy but if I had the time I would, a lot of people recommend it :)
Great review. Nice one. 👍
Thanks! :)
Nice looking darts!
Yes they are a nice classic :)
Great review! Changes my YT from Sam Groot Roessink to this, so you know me hahah
Ah cool, Cheers Sam! :)
Nicee!!
When's Taylor 9 zero ? Lol
Ohhh, that could be months away yet, got a backlog to get through of about 40 or 50 sets! :)
Great reviews-especially helpful to beginners and people returning to darts after a long absence. Good to see darts up close to see shape, grip, aerodynamics and balance with different shafts/flights. You throw ALL darts superbly so very well done despite your injury. I always admired John Lowe more than any other player-stance, focus, concentration and throw was perfection!! Watched his live 9 darter 501-what a historic moment in the sport of darts! I was always intrigued by the darts he used, and after seeing your review on the Unicorn Mirage Phase 5 sent for some 22g darts for £39.99-a saving of £20 on Amazon, and over £50 on the Unicorn site. The advantage I see is that the grip is always going to be in one spot. With a longer barrel it is tempting to keep changing your grip when you are beginning, and can forget how to repeat that grip. That's just my view and I am no expert lol! Anyway, the ones in the video look great and seem remarkably stable in flight. You look comfortable throwing them. And like you say, you should always try anything once-nothing to lose and maybe-just maybe-a John Lowe junior will be waiting in the wings...!!!
Hi Mark, many thanks! Glad the reviews help. John Lowe is a pleasure to watch and one of the reasons I got into vintage darts collecting was due to seeing Lowe talking about darts in his video - Darts: The John Lowe Way. I used to throw the Lowe darts a lot better in the past but its a dart I will always be fond of. Hope they work out well for you too then! :)
Omg....
Best video ever!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL! :)
Wonderful to see you finally review the classic, timeless, legendary, beautiful Lowe's, Darren (as you may remember from my activity on Darts Nutz (yes, I know I haven't been on there for a while, and I do apologise, but I have been busy and distracted with other things), my long time and all time favourite dart: I own and throw - and love - the Golden Titanium version).
Great video and review, and congratulations on your increasingly slick and professional videos - a splendid job indeed! Keep up the good work...!!! :-)
Hi mate, glad you liked it! Yes a classic dart and one I think everyone should at least try :) Cheers! :)
Amen to that, Darren! And cheers, mate...!!! :-)
Great review, as always! I just love the new setup with the slow motion tosses and the graphics in the background. The slow motion tosses, particularly, give me the feeling like i understand the dart much better. Really high quality like to your vids these days overall!
Thanks mate, I think these were flying quite smooth in the slow-mo :)
I got a set of these as a child, they had black pear shaped flights and jet stems...still playing with them nearly 40 years later. A great ergonomic shape for all sizes of hands!
Yeah a true classic :)
Never had a set of John Lowe darts, might actually consider getting a set they are a nice looking dart
Well worth a try :)
I think the pear shaped flights seem to give the smoothest flight in just about every review. Maybe it's just me, but that's how it seems to me.
With every dart I've ever thrown, I've always had smoother flight with pear shaped. Much more noticeable with my poor throw. 😂
Maybe, its hard to be sure, I always feel more comfortable using standards though, dont think I have tried the oversized pears like what Beaton uses so may have to get some of them to try :)
@@DartsReviewChannel this inspired me to chop down some old flights. After a couple of experiments, I found that cutting some old standards into a long kite shape, has given me stability, consistency, and a very flat angle of entry. Love that, as darts going in low, aren't covering the treble anymore.
@@8ballali Nice one! :)
I enjoyed that review. The dart seemed to suit your throw. I think I will get a set. Many thanks
Thanks, yeah the Lowes used to be one of my most favourite darts, still quite fond of them but dont throw them as well as I did before I injured my shoulder :)
@@DartsReviewChannel will you, in the future be reviewing the new unicorn sigma dart? I think it's called HS. They have a blue colour and cost about £110.
Yes I have a set so hopefully in the next couple of weeks or so, its going to get busy with all these new darts out!
@@DartsReviewChannel thanks.
Darts Review Channel would you know where to get hold of these Darren cheers
Always preferred slikstik and pear flight set up
I was never keen on the slikstiks myself
I honestly think that these are the best darts on the market..Brilliant shape.
I would agree completely if I could still throw them as well as I used to, having said that I have been doing ok with them lately, I think I may go back to the 23g though as that is what I threw before. But definitely one of the best darts ever :)
were can you get the number ring for the eclipse hd2 from
Dont think you can, could try contacting Unicorn and ask if they can spare one.
I not ruin them flights . I'll keep I put flares on
Great review. Think I’ve requested it before, but would love you to review Monster Gunner 4’s when you get a chance. Thinking about making a new purchase and do actually use your videos for advice (have purchased Paul Lim darts from your review)
Thanks! Not sure I will be paying £70 for the Monster darts though unless they send me some to review as its only 20g and looks more for a rear gripper. :)
I just found these in 27grams.
Just waiting on delivery and just hoping I made a good choice with these as I don't like straight barrelled darts!
Hope they work for you then :)
Pear shaped flights work best with these darts!
Is the grip good enough on these?
What would you say the grip rating is out of 5?
I'd say 3.5
I only do out of 10, so around 5.5 to 6 mabe
Good point. Thanks for the fast reply
I can't be the only person who would love to see these darts have some grip at the rear / signature section? Another great review brother, we all appreciate the effort you put into your videos.
Thanks mate, I think as they are what Lowe used they will always be like that but I can see a grip on the rear been good for rear grippers, you can always have grip added, just send them to a custom dart maker like custommadedarts.com :)
i have these darts also in gold, i liked these darts but i used to hold them at the rear wear there is zero grip, i ended up swapping for mvg 25g, big jump in weight i know but it worked.
I have some original gold from the 90's the first ones, unused in packaging :)
Great review!! Are you going to do a review about the Phil Taylor Gen4 darts? :)
Cheers! Yes I will probably get some when they come out :)
any chance of you doing a review of designa spectre 21 gram darts bud
I think I have some, but they are a different name, I got them when they were first made and took the pics of them for Retriever Sports who make them, not sure what weight I had though.
a 35mm barrel?:D I actually like short barrels, but 35mm seem way too short
it is super short :)
Where can I pick up a set of John lowe titanium tungsten darts for the best price
I think they are £54.95 in all the shops from what I can see :)
Could you please do a video on the Bob Anderson World champions darts?
Not get any but will add them to the request list :)
Darts Review Channel I can wait☺️ Thanks for the reaction.
Cheers! :)
I use a set of John Lowe 25grams and they fit my hand perfectly! But want to try experimenting with different sizes of stems what is the difference between short and medium stems?
06:46 shows the balance with medium and short stems
Ones shorter than the other
Could u do a review on the John lowe golden titanium tungsten darts 21g
Well it would just be the same but with gold ti instead :)
cdqn you do. Whitlock's or wright mamba darts soon? great review also
Indeed. They have a strange looking grip
I have them and will get round to the review eventually :)
I remember when unicorn darts were thicker at the thread end, if you did not use unicorn stems it produced a lip. vice versa unicorn stems would not fit flush to other brands of darts .
Seems there is similar issues with the standardisation of points too.
I remember using the metal part of a set of jet stems as new points for my John Lowe darts !@@DartsReviewChannel
:)
great review and nice darts
Cheers Leigh! :)
Thanks cant wait to get a set . All thank to this review
No problem :)
Isn't this that guy from the first televised nine 9 darter?
Yes indeed John Lowe was the first televised 9 darter! Alot more common these days, but Lowe did it back before the boards had ultra slim wiring!
yes thats right, my favourite 9 darter to watch :)
Any one gt any idear why throw mint in practis games and practis in diffren pub correct distance and on same day when to comps venue and throw awefull.practis and match it was very gutting
Hi Jed, when your playing in comps are you nervous as it could just be nerves?
Darts Review Channel ye iger to show hw much i have improved
I think it takes time really, the more you play under pressure the more you will get used to it so although the nerves may never go you will improve your ability to handle it but thats why the top pros are so good, you often hear of other pros been amazing on the floor comps but as soon as they are on the big stage they are not the same :)
Darts Review Channel ye my darts were going left and right for age stright as a arrow
well best of luck and hopefully you will sort it :)
Great review again mate and unlucky not to hit the max!! Don't know about you bit unicorn frustrate me with these cheap flights/stems on all the world champ/signature range etc! In my opinion if your buying a players darts they should come set up with flights/stems the player uses, as your buying his darts!! Not like your not getting charged enough for them these days, seems like the smaller brands give better quality than the big boys most of the time for a fraction of the cost!
Thanks Mark! :) I would like them to put them out with the old style Lowes, with the Rainbow flights :)
Darts Review Channel absolutely, think I have a couple sets lying around somewhere ha, have you ever got round to purchasing the boris koltzov darts we spoke about previously?
flash boredom exactly! To much emphasis put on packaging and silly cases that usually get left in a corner and collect dust then you have to outlay more cash to buy flights/stems to see if the players darts you bought work for you with their supplied set up!
Ah, glad you reminded me, I will order a set now :)
Darts Review Channel I've just ordered a set of straight barrel winmau diamond fusion 3 (22g) for a try, think you will like the koltzov if your a straight barrel fan,
Hi mate.
On your idea those or noctis b are better?
Hard to say, its about suits you better, for me probably the Lowes.
Darts Review Channel thanks mate.
Remind me of the Phil Taylor phase 5
Yeah the Taylor P5 were based off the Lowes :)
Darts Review Channel. well i never knew that! I recognized that it looked like the P5 straight away but didn't know it was based on them, you learn something new everyday! Thanks for the reply mate
yeah I cant remember the year but Taylors wife had Lowe darts and Taylor tried them in a comp did well and then they made him the P5
Darts Review Channel. Wow! Now that is very interesting! I'll have to research that, thank you very much, i appreciate that
No worries :)
Nice darts, good video ;)
Thanks! :)
Darts Review Channel i have been waiting for u to do johns darts my Question to u is will these darts or the dum dum darts fit a one80 solibox...and by the way great review i turned my friends your way here in florida now there watching. ...
Darts Review Channel i hope uncan let me know i want to buy a one80hold all i use johns darts and dum dums i had my thumb re attached its the only sets i can still throw
Hi Andy, glad you like the reviews! :) I think these should be ok for the Solibox, I reviewed a set of One80 darts that were quite thick but sill fit in the Solibox was a little close fitting though.
Ouch sounds painful! Here is a link: www.a180.co.uk/product.php/4231/one80-holdall-dart-professional-case
Ive been using the John lowe darts for a while now but they do tend to slip occasionally when throwing. Would U reccomend a switch to the unicorn phase 5?
Why not try the new Lowe Phase 2 :)
What weights do they do the John lowe phase 2 in?
21g and 23g review here: www.dartsnutz.net/forum/showthread.php?tid=33943
Thanks for the advice but the Lowe phase 2 is only made in 21gm and 23gm. I decided on the phase 5 lp unicorn darts 26gms
No , use wax ,your grip will improve !
