- A bit of a comparison video here between a set of $25 Red Dragon darts and a set of $300 Yoshimura darts. I'm a bit all over the place in this video but I think it's still worth a watch. Enjoy!

I've been playing some Winmau Steve Beaton darts for 2 years, they were like 85 euros back in the day. Then I had to travel for work reasons to Poland. Not wanting to lose my darts, I went online to dartshopper and bought a set of 25 euro red dragon megatons in 23 grams. Turns out, they work better for me then the beaton darts ever did.
Cheers from Germany
Again a very good video, your videos have special vibe. Keep up the good work. :D
Thank you 😀
Great video wwd! Amazing how you keep videos interesting! Love how you've shown us all the cheaper sets are just as good as expensive ones and often better
Thanks Anthony 👍
After playing with Target darts, Mission darts its funny that my favorite darts set turns out to be the Designa Crusaders. A basic ring grip 80% tungsten dart. Weight was within a 1/10 of a gram. Less than17 euros.
I'm with you there, tried lots of sets and still end up throwing my Red Dragon Hellfires
Buddy from an experienced guy here thats played since mid 70s .. ive played with cheap darts at under £20 for yrs
and just recent trying another set cheap darts ,that i had put by ..And not any young guys with their expensive darts
win v me ..But again i reckon darts is a game thats either in you or not .Anyhow enjoying the videos bud . Cheers 👍
What most players who know the game well and darts well do when buying is try within a shop / store as odd store shall have a dart board up on wall and allow guys some throws to try barrels of their darts for sale and all u do is take along stems i like and flights and once u like a set of barrels only u then buy them from the shop/store ..Another thing is always try different types stems and flights in a set of darts u fancy and then see how they fly in the board ..
As for pricier darts i once had set of Gary Andersons darts ones with two blue rings and just didnt like later playing with a named players darts and so on facebook some yrs ago now i was talking to young guy private mges regards darts and such as he was very keen he seemed on the darts as i am and id always give advice to any young guy although above saying u would not think so but on the oche im out to win v all lol
he said he was looking at darts but were too expensive etc etc
Seriously though ye this young guy from Dublin in rep of Ireland and im from Scotland ..The guy had pic up on his facerbook main profile page of himself when a young guy around 15 yrs of age he said ..he went onto say his dad was an alcoholic
and why he stayed with his gran ..hence pic he had up with himself and his gran beside him on his main profile page on facebook He went onto tell about his Gran and said his gran was now seriously unwell and i felt sorry for the young guy, he said he loved his dad but sdi not want go back stay with him ..
Cut longer story shorter next day i thought well ive the Gary Anderson darts and theyre in good condition and just sitting there in drawer taking up space not being used , i was on chatting to the guy and said to him U like the Gary Anderson darts with two blue rings on and he said yes they would be brilliant darts but too expensive for him ..I said i have a set in good condition and if u give me your home address ill have them sent to you ..he was all happy and gave his details and so that night i had the wife package them up and when she was at shops and post office had them sent off to this young guy ..few days after online on facebook the guy came onto chat and said hey Thanks very much for them Gary Anderson darts Wow he said never ever thought anyone would send me a set of such darts theyre very good ..his page then flicked in a second and pic i then saw was a guy around in his mid to late 30s ..he was not a 15 yr old guy and was basically telling porkies and a bit of a scammer
i just there and then blocked him and never contacted again ..Have given darts away before also to a guy from Lithuania he said was from this in an Edinburgh bar as he had set darts kept within a match box and isaid to him if your here next week roughly same time ill hand u set of darts and small case with them ..which he was there and i did hand him the darts and case with them ..did not receive one thanks ..And have given 4 sets darts away 5 yrs ago near coming on now but never again i shall ..Anyhow great game although my base back probs at times beats me i still enjoy playing when i can . Like your videos although im see them 2 yrs or so later lol enjoyed .
Great video as always just wondering would you ever review the Eric bristow dart?
I should review the new ones. I'll have to get a set for sure!
Wish I would have seen this video 4 years ago it would have saved me about $3,500 in darts.
ouch
Could you do a darts review on TheDartsReferee 2’s?
Possibly 👍🏻
Just about to comment the same thing
Just commented about the same thing and deleted it after I saw your comment .
Great video! Red dragons for me and add the specialty points. They might be a little lightweight for me though..
Great vid , yeah I agree I play amazing darts with cheaper winmau and designs barrels , you don't need the highest end
Super, Greetings from Poland.
Nice intro clip! 🎯
Thanks. Obviously not the first take. One time I hit a 180 but then followed with 0 bulls 😂
Brother that was great information for The New player do not fall in that trap you can spend 30 $40 or you can spend hundreds of dollars you're going to throw what you're going to throw that takes time and practice enjoy the video as always worldwide
It makes me laugh at those who buy expensive sets of darts thinking that they will become world beaters! My entire darts set up costs under £40 that incudes the darts all shafts and flights and accessories and a case!
This!! I'm currently using $16 Darts Clearance darts 😂
@@WorldwideDarts I use 27 gram red dragon sidewinder darts and after a light sandblasting of the barrels they fly pretty good! I could never imagine having to splash out any more than 30 pounds for a set of darts
If you had picked the cheaper set at the end ... you would have lost a little cred with me. Glad to see your usual honesty. Kudos.
Thanks 👍
I’ve been considering looking into the one80 strike 03 darts. Do you have any experience with those? I like grippy and like the idea of a scallop
I'm a huge fan of One80 darts. I just had a look and it's a great set of darts for $34 at Darts Corner. The dimensions are a little on the big side because they're 80% tungsten. 22g version was 53mm long by 6,6mm wide. But hey, if you like those dimension then go for it. 👍🏻
Couple of questions, are the yoshimura darts hollow at the rear at all as there so light and how deep ? Also where did you purchase these ? Many thanks wwd
No, the Yoshi's are only drilled out 9.3mm deep. Not deep at all. They came straight from Yoshimura.
Funny, my best game ever was shooting some fat crappy brass house darts loaned out at a pub on K street in Washington DC years ago, and the game wasn't even appreciated by the non darters I was with.
You had the freeflo points on the cheaper darts right? Can you tell me of the black of the freeflo points wears after trowing? Because the harrows apex remaning in good condition.. and the target storm points are just shit.
Thanks
Harrows Apex on the Red Dragon darts. They're okay but I would have prefered the smooth version. The black will eventually wear off a bit though regardless of brand
I've got two sets of darts with Freeflo points, and the black does begin to wear off quite soon. The main set I use, which I had repointed with Freeflos over a year ago, are now almost completely silver.
where it all becomes unreasonable, no matter how crazy well the darts are manufactured for 300usd, is that for half that sum, you can get a custom made dart set that is +-0.01g accurately made. A dart that you can design, or use certain grip patterns and nose types and so on to assemble your dream dart.
100% agree. I can order up a beautiful set of customs from custommadedarts.com/ for around $100. The prices of the japanese darts are insane! These, Cosmo and Joker Driver.
your very good at darts!
Great video! I'm interested in purchasing the Red Dragon darts, what is the exact model?
They were a Red Dragon Featherlite but I don't think they're made anymore. You might be able to find them on Amazon under a different name though.
@@WorldwideDarts Thanks
@@billiardbrostraining5730 You in the USA by chance? I wouldn't mind parting with these if you want them. Irishdarts1@yahoo dot com
@@WorldwideDartsI am in the US. I'll send you an e-mail today.
you are good player mister respect
I have a couple sets of Colonial darts that are $30... they're actually really good, just as good as my expensive darts. ;}
Proud of the Japan made darts but don't like super expensive darts wherever the darts are made. Besides, I am big fan of Red Dragon Darts so will choose cheaper one for sure.
Do you know what model red dragon darts they are?
I bought mine as Red Dragon Apollo (18g) on Amazon and I think you can find them in heavier version as Red Dragon Striker (24g/26g)
RD sold them as Featherlites. Here they are in an old RD catalog (page 5) but I bought them on Amazon about a year ago www.yumpu.com/en/document/read/7833852/shafts-red-dragon-darts
$10 ...22g norwahls from Walmart work just fine. However, I have a set of 25g triple B's , super skinny darts that are amazing. However, I can't find the triple B's anywhere online. Could you possibly see if you can find them. I'd love to no more about them.

For my first dart set I bought harrows supergrip ultra 90%, they cost ~230zł which is around 57$ and I don't see a difference between more expensive flights.
I do agree with the basic premise of this video, as in the value of the darts doesn’t matter on how you can throw them. However, I do have to disagree with the fact that a multi ring grip is always enough. Many many dart players, myself included would completely disagree with that statement as I can guarantee you if I threw those Red Dragons, that are within my perfect dimensions and weight, I couldn’t throw them due to the grip. Anything below say a level 3 is completely unthrowable as I can’t hold them without said grip. I’ve had my darts on dart of the day before and almost all of the comments were about the extremely aggressive grip, and those darts got me a 9 darter and a personal best average at competition. To conclude, the statement made is far from what the subjective truth of what the feel of a dart is and many players use more than the standard rings.
I know I ranted for a bit here but to shorten it, multi-rings aren’t enough for many a player as every player grips the darts different, and I’m an example of a player who can’t throw an low grip dart
Have a look at the top 32 PDC players in the world as of today... www.pdc.tv/order-of-merit/pdc-order-merit The overwhelming vast majority of them use a basic dart. Bunting, King and Whitlock are a bit outside of the norm. Yes, a basic barrel isn't for everyone as you said but again, the vast majority of pro players use a basic dart. I also referenced NEW players in this video and said that they really don't need a "fancy" dart in order to play well.
I'm not sure what there is to disagree with as I really only mentioned pro players and new players in this video and of course there's going to players who prefer the fancy Shot type darts and there's nothing wrong with that either. Although I would never recommend something like that to a newish player
@@WorldwideDarts A few points, I completely agree that a new player should try out a muck cheaper set, but saying that only a few PDC top 32 players don’t use a basic dart is completely false. World No.1 has a shark grip and the famous chevron section, Peter Wright almost never uses a light grip dart, and certainly while not playing his best, Anderson uses both the purist grip with I would say having owned is closer to a shark grip than some multi rings, Joe Cullen again has more of a purist grip, same with Clayton, Noppy also has that grip, De Zwann has more elaborate grips than I can even name and you yourself having used the soft and steel versions, I don’t think I need to elaborate on the Peterson’s. And even that isn’t including the more boarder line gripper darts such as MVG for the pattern of the rings. That is, including the 3 you said, a total count of 11, without going properly in depth about all the barrels used and from what I can remember off the top of my head. Saying that the PDC Top 32 is mainly a basic ring grip dart is insane. Also, multiple times in the video you stated that when addressing the entire audience “all you need is a multi-ring dart” or something there and about.
@@WorldwideDarts As once last piece of evidence, I went across the Top 32, looking into each of their darts and if I considered a dart borderline I gave it to the Basic dart group. Having said that, the results show 16 in each way, 16 for both the stronger grip barrels, the point I was making and the basic dart barrels, the ones you claim hold an "overwhelming vast majority". I love your content, but I also love due research and the engineering of the current darting market.
@@joelsalerno196 Hmm. I just looked at the top 17 players and every single one of them use what I consider a basic dart. So that's already 1 more than you counted for the entire top 32. Obviously your idea of basic varies from mine. 🤷♂️
I like the look of the cheaper set better
Seeing as you mentioned about rotating the board I won’t 😂
I agree it comes down to personal preference when choosing darts, I have many darts in my collection
(approx 120 sets) and although I’ve thrown with all of them I always seem to go back to the cheaper more simplified darts as the ones I use.
Im constantly Robin Hood’in my darts 😩😬😳 🤦🏻♂️
Great stuff WWD 👍🏻
Thanks! Seeing how I'm a HUGE advocate of rotating dartboards it kills me to not rotate this one 😂
I have about 20 sets of cheap darts, none are over $30, I really enjoy using different styles and weights. But if I only bought a single set of really expensive darts and only used them as I developed my skills I would probably be better then I am now.
Wouldn't a single set of really nice affordable darts yield the same results?
@@WorldwideDarts absolutely but new darts day is so much fun when your buying cheap darts. Maybe self control is the bigger issue with cheap darts. I’m blaming Designa, they are just to nice to not buy a few sets when you make an order.
@@MrLongboarder87 I hear ya man. I've had this addiction since 2002 when I walked into a new friends dart shop and he showed me all these UK catalogs. I was like "what's up with the prices, that can't be right"
Right then and there he told me about UK dart prices and showed me 100's of sets of Tommy darts, Nodor, and many of the name brand stuff that had prices so low I though there had to be a catch.
That day I bought some 18g multi ring darts and a few other sets. He called me a couple weeks later and said the darts were in. I couldn't believe it when the total came to about $80 for however many sets I had. I remember the multi rings were $15!!! Never looked back.
BTW, that was the same guy who gave me all his stuff when he retired. 1000's of darts magazines and catalogs along with the old dart posters you see on my wall.
@@WorldwideDarts wow, and yrs later your nó 1 for darts on CZcams!
Just as a matter of interest, Winmau is pronounced 'WIN-MAW', there is no 'R' sound at the end, although it sounds like there could be when Brits say it, as more and maw are pronounced the same. The mau part of the word is half of the name Maude.
Watch this then read the comment section of the video. Then come back and tell me what you think... czcams.com/video/khu_cUgFtAY/video.html
If you bye a shoot darts barrels have lifetime waranty.. 20 usa darts dont have waranty. With yoshimura darts you can play much more time no problem or lose grip on darts.
In my entire life I've personally seen one broken barrel. Lifetime warranties on dart barrels is a bit of a gimmick imo
@@WorldwideDarts im see 3 times broken barrels and all was unicorn..but im just said because of grip, yoshimura darts will last 5-10 times longer then 20 usa red dragon
The price of darts makes no difference to how you throw them, you need to go to a darts shop to throw a variety, if you can’t go to a shop, throw as many other peoples darts as you can to help you decide what you want.
what you see is that a target Dartboard is ....... 😂😂😂
No darts are worth $300. No set of darts should ever cost more than $50, they're just turned nickel tungsten pieces of rod with steel tips and some stems/flights. People buying darts with "Phil Taylor" etc on them must be barmy. My darts were under $30 and I play county.
That's why this channels main theme is: "Great darts don't have to cost a lot of money". My last review is a perfect example of that... czcams.com/video/UG7w3ejBh2I/video.html
@@WorldwideDarts Yes I watched that. Great vid.
