The way these darts are made is really clever, love the look of the darts definitely thinking about picking these up
Yeah its very clever, as long as it stays like that after a lot of use, that remains to be seen yet though :)
I have been eyeing a set of ONE80 with reflex for awhile now. This new system really makes them more tempting. Grip you always do a great job. Cheers M8.
Thanks Robert, glad to help :)
🔺3 barrels are all 24.01g❗️
Incredible for steel tip darts .
Great review as expected and as always. Thanks very much.
Cheers! :)
These are very similar to what I bought a pair of the one80 24g Heat. I like the idea of the replaceable spring steel tips. With the Heat 24g's I was very happy with the VHD tungsten, grip, and that they are thin for tight groupings. The downside for the one80 sets are the shafts and fights. The one80 flights are larger than the standard size flight, which is good. I added the Harrow system to the barrel, using the carbon short shafts and the max air flights. I liked the set up so much I bought an extra pair and some extra harrows components.
Yeah I think a lot of people are starting to like these thin points but should be even better now with the replaceable R2 system. I think there is a few standard sizes now a big wing and small and a mini.
I am liking the addition to the videos. The video index is a nice touch, it could be improved slightly by time stamping the index so you don't need tap the time bar.
The review format is excellent as ever.
Now the darts. They look pretty darned nice and I like the idea of you being able to swap in new points.
I wonder how often the points will need changing and how long the thread will last before it starts to loosen off.
Finally, how much h will the replacement points be as that will be a factor in buying these?
Kyle
Glad you like it but not sure what you mean about the video index? On my Desktop all the times are in blue and when I click on them it takes me to that point in the video thats why I did it really, unless you mean something else? Regarding the points I dont know how they will last, will be something I will need to report back on, the previous points were about £3 per set so not sure if these new ones will be more.
Ah OK. That s what I meant, must just have been my tablet not showing them.
That's not overly expensive so long run may be worth it.
I would be interested in a report back video, assuming you were to keep using them.
Thank you for the reply.
Kyle
Yeah could be your tablet as it did not work on my mobile unless I viewed in desktop mode. Yeah I will be throwing with them as much as I can and see how they perform, the nose did come loose once but I think it was because I had shown someone how it worked and may not have tightened up properly but since then it has not come loose again, although I will be amazed if it stays tight after a lot of use, I would have thought the way the points wobble and if you remove it a few times that it surely must wear eventually but will see :)
wonderful! May consider these in the future, cool shape with a nice balance.
Yeah nice shape, give em a try :)
Darts Review Channel too bad about the pricetag, but the technology is quite incredible.
yeah but I think they were always going to cost a little more than normal, would be nice if everything was cheaper but :)
hi im thinking of getting some reflex pointed darts but im a bit concerned about the points snapping on the darts.
this would not be a problem with the r2 range but have you or any of your subscribers known of the points snapping
Hi Carl, I have heard of them snapping in the fixed point version but the new R2 is just new out so not heard anyone snap those yet.
Have you had a chance to see the three other barrel types in the R2 range? Wondering which would be your favourite.
No I have only got the one here.
Any clue from One80 when they will be in stock at our favorite retailers? Nice job as usual!
Thanks, I was told Dartscorner already have the stock but they take around about a week to process for the site etc so I should imagine any day now they will be on sale.
Bit late to this one - But nothing better than a old episode of "Double Top Gear" on a lazy Sunday Morning...
LOL nice :)
Hi Nutzs I got my deta hedman 28 gram darts today. Stock looked old. The points and darts where corroded and smelt of nicotine. Fortunately they cleaned up perfectly with some machine oil. I am posting to warn others if you get them in similar condition I would remove all the points not mixing the caps as I suspect there machined after they are screwed in for the last time. They may not be perfectly interchangeable without altering weight or leaving very small differences in match up where they screw together. I have not tried them yet but I don't think they will need much tightening up to keep them tight as I think they use the compression of the o'ring to stop them unscrewing. I could be wrong on that but I think the compression of the o'ring would be sufficient to damp vibrations enough to stop the ferrule unscrewing in operation. The machine work standards are first class. The points cap or ferrule is so tightly toleranced if you tighten them up and or live in a coastal region you may never get them apart again when time comes to change a point. I struggled to get one of mine open. And the spanner fit A is marginal if you were to have to remove a tight or corroded cap. It could be the end of the dart. Nice machining. Nice Darts!
Sounds like they may have been used by someone and then put back in the box, was there any marks on the barrels?
Gdaymate yea mate you could be right . It's A possibility as a leaflet was creased but the barrels look undamaged, Even the spare points are rusty. I am not worried about it probably use another seller next though. I have used them long enough to suspect there not going to be right for me. One odd thing is they are getting really stuck in the aussie formula board I use. It must be too shallow. And they feel too heavy. I plan to just keep buying different darts and trying them all. Ironically my favourite darts so far are 20 gram steel chinese barrel style darts. There big and light and I throw them better than the 4 other sets of darts I have. They cost 5$ delivered lol I have some other similar style ordered peter manley 19 pentathlon 23 and phil taylor 26. I think I'm going to like the manleys the best. I'm Trying all my darts in all positions. I moved onto rear grip recently and am doing better with it and centre but I will be trying everything for a while. Iam enjoying buying different darts each fortnight. I might hate the deta's now that might change down the track though I will not buy such expensive darts again for a while. Not after the chinese darts and the deta's costing so much And not looking like they will get used much. I will stick to under 50$ I will do a video when I find my camera. I am enjoying my darts for a change from hifi.
Thats funny you say your faves are the cheap ones lol I remember I had a similar set when I was starting and I think it was just because they were thicker and easier to control but as I got a little better I preferred the thinner tungsten ones. I went through a lot of shapes and weights at first, I settled on 27g for a while then eventually went to 24g then 23g. I also had some 19g Manleys and the strange thing with them was I was hopeless on Trebles with them but best ever at the time on doubles lol! It makes no sense sometimes but its all part of the fun in trying stuff :)
Yup lol The chinese should of been the first darts I bought. thanks again or the advice.
no worries :)
Great innovation from one80, I love their darts but I dislike reflex points. Will they have a range of standard points for these darts? Great review as always Darren.
Cheers! I was told there is plans for normal points too, not sure when though
Reminds me of the Benito van de Pas darts from XQ Max
Hello I love to play darts and bough deference darts board too I some how can't preserve the condition of boards I bit the hell of it boards trying to get the main importune the Red Dot man do I tries hard then I have bought many set of darts because I didn't know about the weights of it and also didn't know there was technics involve of how to trow it darts and then all the parts that had to learns more about it is like the deference points like fix point or convertible or hammer head - shake points also various flight and shafts sizes I still have troubles getting The Red Dot. Consistently or 180 I wonder is something wrong with brain or hands or eyes tell me what do suggest !!!!!?!!???.
Could you review the ted Hanley darts that have no grip,? I'm a front gripper just like yourself and they work a treat for me, you should try them
I have some and will review them eventually but no idea when :)
Awesome looking darts!
Yeah a nice shape I think :)
virtually no spin of these at all, seem to fly very true and straight. Are the reflex points not annoying when you're seeing that wobble on every dart? how durable are they?
Yeah been playing with them longer now and they are a nice smooth dart to throw, think its the shape and balance. From the oche the wobble is a little strange at first but you dont notice it as much as when you see it up close and you quickly get used to it. :)
Where do you find the price?, im thinking of buying these myself to try out
One80 told me
I am over the reflex points now. I wonder if 180 phases them out too. Their latest new few darts aren't r2.
no idea, maybe too many people had them break?
I guess I will keep playing with the ones I've got but not buy anymore for a while. My complaints are based on aesthetics not being any good enough to prove the groupings theory. I am trying to find any review on the latest original mvg batch but with no luck. I will have to be brave ask on the forum if I can't find one soon in there. Thx Darren.
No worries :)
i bought a set of tungsten 21g darts from Darts Clearance on eBay, and i think they're too skinny for my large hands. yesterday i receive a cheap set of 24g brass from aliexpress, and i have more control over them. i thing fatter and heavier is what i need.
Yeah I think if your a beginner a thicker dart often is easier to throw.
Nice review, as always. Not keen on the removeable points or the darts. To each his own.
Thanks! There is other models with the points like this but most people are not keen on them at first but I have seen a lot of higher skilled players (thats a lot higher than me, high 80 averages) remarking that they are scoring better because of the thin points but its one of those things like a lot of darts products people will like or dislike for various reasons :)
it's really strange that those darts kinda vibrate when they hit the board... is there any pro player who is playing with those points?
Deta Hedman uses similar points but I don't think hers are detachable. Peter Wright tried thin points for a little while too.
You dont see it as much from the oche and it is a little strange at first but you quickly get used to it.
René Eidams is a German pro player that plays with one80 reptile r2 darts👍👌
Lol your front grip look like a point grib, med looked front and rear looked med hehehe. still thumbs up good review.
Well I try to get as close as possible to middle and rear but often its a little awkward when I throw them but I go by where my thumb is and its usually as close as I can comfortably get but obviously not an exact science, for example a rear grippers grip could be anywhere on the last third of the dart from just past middle to the very end of the barrel and I have quite fat thumbs too lol :) Cheers! :)
Sexiest set of darts ever in my opinion.
:)
i dont like this points at all

Hi Becky, you should check out the beginners section on the forum for some tips here: dartsnutz.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?fid=29 Darts can be tough and it takes a lot of practice for some but you need to try to throw the dart the same every throw, easier said than done but dont grip the darts too tight and try to keep your throwing arm smooth and relaxed and only the arm should move, keep your stance still, its a little difficult to explain everything here but if you read the forum you will get some good info, good luck! :)
Thank you for your respond I will follow your link I hope I can keep my body still and just throw smoothly and by way the question dose weight matters how importune it is; it weight on darts One80 Reptile R2 24g do they also have them a little more havyer then 24 Grams or is it a stander weight I love the looks of it Design of Reptile R2 And the shack point that is my ideal type of darts I would want
No problem. Weight of the dart is something that you go through a trial and error period until you find what suits you, most beginners start with heavier darts because the heavier dart is more forgiving of errors supposedly where as a lighter dart may need more control, I started with 27g when I started out and gradually went down to my usual weight now which is around 23g for most darts, sometimes the shape of the dart may make it feel heavier or lighter depending how long it is.
