Shot darts should be higher in the ranking IMO. The quality of their barrels are top notch. On the more expensive end but i was highly impressed with my set of shot darts.
Being a massive Peter Wright fan, I’ve automatically gravitated towards Red Dragon Darts. I love their products and it’s more convenient than anything for me to use. 😊
RedDragon is still struggling to center the graphics on their flights to this day. This is particularly annoying when you use the service to print your own flights. Even on the otherwise very good hardcore flights, the lettering is always in a slightly different place. It is strange, however, that this problem, which occurs with almost all RD flights, does not exist with the WINMAU flights, but their Rhino flights do not have the lifespan of the hardcore flights ...
I give props to red dragon, they are always making a new design for Peter. IMO it shows how much they are willing to put in the extra effort. I am also a fan of Peter Wright but I actually throw a set of shot darts ATM 🤣
The problem with RD is they make some primo darts and some very mediocre ones. Depends on the model, but I would still put them up there since the good ones are very good for the $.
Nice one Jack, interesting choices too! Sorry to be pedantic though as that is not all manufacturers lol! Its actually really crazy how many there are these days and new ones popping up all the time. The Asian countries for a start seem to have a new brand almost monthly, absolutely insane. But out of some of the more well known ones you missed out Nodor, essentially the same as Winmau and RD as all made same place and also Voks, a U.S. brand but make some interesting darts. Also Elkadart which is same guys who make Pentathlon. Also Cuesoul too and one of the brands I think make the most perfectly made darts are Bulls Fighter from Korea. Bulls Germany and Bulls Holland are predominantly made by Shot aka Puma NZ. There is lots more but I am glad you included Trinidad, I think they are very good and not too crazily priced like some of them can be from Asia. Its nice to see peoples opinions though, I have too many faves so its difficult for me to decided lol thats me being diplomatic ;)
I recently spoke by phone with the maker of the largest German darts portal (Darts1.de). He knows the owner of BULL'S Germany very well and has reassured me that BULL'S-GER and BULL'S-NED have nothing to do with each other or have ever had. So it was a surprise in Germany when Max Hopp switched from BULL'S-GER to BULL'S-NED. Although I can understand Max's decision from the point of view of the quality of the products ...
@@therandompostman8988 Bulls Germany and Bulls Nl are independent of each other now but I dont think that was always the case, I was told by the guy who works for Bulls Germany it was complicated but there was some kind of connection between them not so long ago. But most of the equipment is still made from the likes of Shot. Many of the brands make darts for other brands.
@@DartsReviewChannel Bulls NL use both shot and a cheap China factory which is why some products are great but some are dreadful quality, poorly weighted, balanced and smelly. Bulls Germany do not use Shot, they use a different Chinese factory. Complicated and painful story. Oh, and Bulls NL producce McKicks. Bulls Germany produce xQmax.
Cheers for the video Jack 1 company you may have missed out is Designa they do good quality stuff and Designa darts are bit cheap around the £20 to the £30 mark
I use McKicks Quick Reds and there the only dart which suit my thumb grip best. Tried every manufacturer and always come back to my Quick Reds so don’t knock McKicks until you try them🎯👍
Cosmo should be higher bc of their shafts and flights... plus they are some of the best soft tip darts along w monster and trinidad. its crazy how the biggest and best brands in asia are considered low tier for english people. cosmo and trinidad are amazing.
Love my Unicorn Brass Slims with brown Rodeo Wallet from 1981 (Made in England). Unicorn steel 450 24 pc set (China)for 20.00 from Dicks has been working great also.
My first sets of darts were a 26gR set of Harrows I.C.E (white), a 26g set of the original Harrows Fire, a 28g set of Harrows Assassin, a set of Harrows Eric Bristow Silver Arrows, a set of Harrows Silver Shark, Club Brass, Voodoo, i had pretty well their whole range back in 2017
I've played with the Shot Frontier and the Shot Tribal Weapon 4 and love them both. I've also played with Red Dragon Gerwyn Price darts and am a huge fan. I've also played with Harrows and Winmau darts but like the three sets mentioned above best.
Hey, merry Christmas! Wanted to ask what you think of Loxley Darts and also the german manufacturer Evolution Darts... Mostly handcrafted and some even custom made by a german engineer. If you can get your hands on them, please show us your opinion. Cheers!
Hi Jack the Darts Referee, i'm Johan from The Netherlands. I'm using the Elite Performance darts 23 grams. They are amazingly straight flying. Darts Performamce Center is really trying to make darts that really reduces deflection (weird spins) while airborn. This means they make darts that fly more straight. And if you're a fan of type barney grip, then you will really like this manufacturer because they use it allot. I can really recommend the Elite darts but they also have a few straight barrels that are really good. Great videos by the way, very interesting.
Target is style over substance. Way overpriced for darts you can throw or whose points are always breaking. Designa are hit and miss, mine are inconsistent flushness with stem. Performance darts are actually very good. Bulls NL depends, some are great, some are terrible. Mission, One 80 underrated. Loxley too early to tell but first impressions very very good. RD, Winmau, hit and miss.
Process of creating the more expensive target darts takes longer so that's why they cost soo much but the range of darts they have at different prices are outstanding especially the Swiss point darts in-between 30-40
I’m relatively new to darts, 6 months, so I bought roughly 10 sets to find my perfect darts because it’s the darts that are bad not me. All 85% to 95% tungsten darts from $15 to $100. The cheapest set are by far my favorite, Red Dragon Apollo 18g. Only paid $15 for them and my average is 20 to 30 higher then any other set. It might be because they are my only 18g set and that’s my perfect weight. Could have saved a ton of money if I bought them first vs second to last😂
It is the darts and not you?! Sorry but if you can throw, it doesn’t matter. For me it is not only about to be a good player. I have a fascination for throwing with different weights, forms, whatever. And by some analysis over time I saw that it doesn’t matter what kind of darts I throw, if I have a short time to get used to them.
My first tungsten set of darts were the Red Dragon Amberjacks. Great set of beginner darts. Ive since tried Harrows as well. Love their stuff too. My current main dart is the Red Dragon Reflex with Cuesoul Rost stem and flight combo. I prefer the bomb shape for the grip I have. I wish I could own a bomb shape from all the Manufacturers lol.
I Haven‘t tried that many Brands to be Honest. I Settled on Harrows Darts, I currently Play Pentagon 23g Darts I also Have Predators, Fire Infernos and Oblivions(all in the 23g version) they are all great darts and rather fun to play with so they go in S tier for shure. Winmau is the prefered Dart of my Girlfriend(She currently plays wirh interstellar Darts or MvG Authentic Darts) Winmau is a S Tier as well. Before I played Target Darts and they are really good, I just like Harrows a little better. But still My Agora Verde AV03 is one of the sexiest darts in my small Collection. So Target also Goes into the S Tier. Red Dragon were the Darts I Startet on and I played Some Peter wright darts for a few month untill I lost then at a turnament. I would put red Dragon in A I also have a few no name darts for my friends to play with if they come over. (Koto, One80 and a few more) they deliver quite nice but are bothing in comparason to a well balanced Dart. So because i havenst played them in month i will bot rank the other Brands yet.
I’ve been throwing Red Dragon darts for years and I love them, but I’ve probably thrown more 180’s and won more games with Target Rob Cross darts than any other. My ex wife used to throw Mckicks Alan Glazier Shark Machine darts and I tell you what, if you like a grippy dart then that’s the one for you!! Very affordable as well.
I'm new to the game,so I am eyeing my first darts to buy and was looking all over the different companies darts .I was looking at the target hema 18 gram soft tip.it'$77.usa but everything has gone up so that's not much these days.lol.so good to hear it's a good company
The majority of targets darts don't feel right to me. The only ones that felt good enough to buy were the Taylor gen 3. I actually went back to Taylor's unicorn phase 6 after losing the gen 3 ones. Now I'm throwing a set of shot darts. To me a dart is a dart now, I actually consider price. 8 years ago I didn't but then I became a father 🤣
I think my list would look like this: _S_ Harrows one80 shot _A_ Red Dragon Target Cosmo Winmau Bulls _B_ Mission Unicorn XQmax _C_ I don't really have a company i would place this low actually. _Don't know_ Trinidad Dynasty Datadart McKicks Elkadarts Bulls NL Designa
Rumor has MVG used Mckicks early on........not sure his current dart is very similar to one of their earlier models......anyhow. Love Designa stuff myself. Simple straghtforward stuff, ultra reliable, good price
Never had any luck with target product. All there stems would snap in my dart, I had friends who just bought a set of target darts and the point broke within a week. I also had a target dartboard which was terrible was like a rock darts wouldnt stick in the board half the time so I just went back to blade 4. Think target should be in the C grade 🤔
@@DartsReviewChannel I did hear rumours from someone that they are making products in the UK again up north, I really enjoyed my time there, at the time we was doing good forefront modern ideas, seems over the years that was lost... I still have some gear from back then, even made my own 90% barrels when bored on lunch. most of it I gave to my brother, from signed dartboards with the 1st camera holes I would make for sky TV to the 1st Gold barrels, from keith deller to dave witcombe. I used to repoint phil taylor, bob anderson, john lowe amoug others barrels etc... it was an awesome place to work for a darts fan, once the day was over I would be down andy fordom's pub in woolwich practicing with everyone and the big man to get better player , I haven't played now for 12 years, my brother is the darts player of the family now winning big comps in and around london lol. I only just bought myself a new board since watching your channel bud, got me back into playing again when he couldn't lol, keep up the good work!!!
@@LondonPredatorAngler Thats great! Love hearing about things like that. I have one of those boards with the hole for a camera too :) Glad to hear you got back into playing, I am hopeless as you know but as long as I am able to still throw a dart even if it misses I am happy lol! :)
Red dragon fall under the same manufacturer as Winmau (Nodor). The quality of darts are very similar but are just labelled as a different brand. I think McKicks and Bull's also share the same manufacturer but I could be wrong on that one.
Bulls, Shot and One80 should definitely stay inside the top spots. They might not be the cheapest on the market, but in terms of quality, all of them are top notch! I will never get, why people still bring Winmau and Harrows up that high? These darts aren’t too good in terms of quality wise and aren’t cheap either 🤷🏼♂️
Spot on I think mate, Pentathlon Flights are good like you said and I agree with the rest, Unicorn stuff looks/feels outdated and Target is the cream of the crop. One thing on McKicks, I’ve never used them either but I’m sure I heard MVG used a set of their darts and used them on his journey to greatness for a long time. I have a set of his from MasterDarts from years ago 😊
With no doubts Target produces superb darts (unfortunately I cannot say the same about their dartboards ). I love their darts since I have picked up them for first time. I love their design, innovation, packaging. Downside is they're monster-expensive....
I use Target Stuff but in my opinion Target Company day by day make worst equipment. One week ago one of my dart broken when fall down on flor. Unfortunately tip break inside barrel. I can' remove it. 2.Target shafts since few mont break so easy (i use progrip shafts Target).3 - dartboard. Quality is better than unicorn elipse pro, I'm sure, but after 4 mont playing my darts became to fall down. (elipse pro are terrible after 1 year some sectors look like sponge). I expecting more from dartboard Target Pro Tour. Sorry for my english:) Greetings
I'm still fairly new to your channel so I can't be sure you haven't covered this already, but I'd be super interested in seeing a similar tier / rankings video on a bunch of PDC players' darts! Really enjoy your content over here in the States! God Bless. *EDIT* -- Just now seeing the thumbnail for your PDC darts ranking vid, smh... my bad lol... Off to watch it now though!
Very interesting, I bought a set of Swiss Points from Target just before the Covid outbreak and have been throwing them almost daily ever since. Fantastic quality. They're quite a complicated looking dart. I'm shredding flights at the moment now I'm getting steadily better and I've broken one point in 6 months and that was because I was throwing like an utter tool after getting frustrated...
have many brands of darts most the top tier companys, but best for me tho have been a dart from Mccoy. yeah id never heard of them untill i bought the darts, they just looked a nice shape that i thought would suit me, and sure enough i play better with them then i do any of my other darts. so really the big names are just what they are big names, doesnt mean they have the thing that will suit you.
I don't think China makes better darts than Japan, you are being influenced too much by the giant marketing machines... Cosmo and Shot should are at the top of my list for their quality, I suspect Trinidad also, I've just never seen any of their darts. The McKicks darts I've owned are also superb, but not a lot of marketing behind them. And why would the rating of a manufacturer drop when they lose a player, that has nothing to do with the manufacture or quality of the dart...
Shot darts should be in “E” just for the simple fact they are so extortionately expensive. Cosmo darts are extremely well made/machined; they deserve a place in, at least, “A”
My Sentiments Exactly!!! Winmau, Red Dragon and Nodor are One. Many darts in the Winmau line are also in the Nodor and RD sets albeit in different names.
We all know target make the best most high quility darts but winmau makes the best boards I use the blade 5 duel core with the same set of targets I baught 6 years ago and never swapped and they are still in great condition will go another 15 years because of the quality of the dart
How can you seriously rank a darts company if you have never used their products? Trinidad/Condor darts for example are machined to perfection and in my opinion are at least the equal, if not better quality than Target and some of the Target stuff is more expensive. 180 darts are also great quality and inovative. In my opinion Unicorn dartboards are expensive and qualty control is a lottery, look at the problems with them in the PDC.
Sort of disrespectful to start such a list and put two companies on that list you did no homework on. That’s just not professional. It doesn’t take very long to hit their websites and perform some analysis based your knowledge of other products.
After using some high end target darts, i think they are rather overrated for the price. Harrows are a great dart, nor a fan of unicorn products to be fair. Winmau boards are excellent, but I've had bad luck using their darts...
Wow, don't think it's fair to rank things you haven't tried. I have a set of McKick's Lighting darts and they are as good as anything from Target, without the premium pricing. Packaging is meh, but I don't throw the packaging. The machining on the darts is flawless, and the weight match is perfect. Unicorn on the other hand is overrated. I have a few sets and none of them are finished as well, and one set has a defect where the point fits into the barrel. This list is b tier for bogus at best. Anywho, love the channel!
My top five ranking;- Unicorn Harrows Winmau Red Dragon Target A few more;- Puma,- NZ. Elkadart,- Retriever sports. Jim Pike,- brass darts. TruLon,- brass darts. DorWin,- brass darts. Tex,- brass darts. Some of those companies closed years back. I also rate darts co's by flights and boards.
Target overpriced if you do not consider their effort they put designing their darts. Harrows, ok quality but they do not go for risky designs and only consider revenue. Also is the only brand that does not fit their own conversion points. Nodor, the quality control is terrific. My only dart brand with thread issues and peeled off coating out of the box. Mission, basically the old Target design with similar price. Weird marketing as they tend to aim high for their darts, but they also put their logo on a whole bunch of low quality accessories.... Honestly, I really don't understand why dartscorner need to set up Mission just to sell the same products with a higher price tag.
S tier would be harrows, winmau and designa for me. A would be targets mission and one80 Unicorn might make B the quality is not very good. Match weights are always way off some up to a gram in my experience.
I'm sure Peter Wright has tried them all here lol
Shot darts should be higher in the ranking IMO. The quality of their barrels are top notch. On the more expensive end but i was highly impressed with my set of shot darts.
Shot darts are the bollocks👊
I agree mate, love my sets of Shot darts.
Designa darts is by far my favorite darts - and the prices are indeed favorable too!
I agree smoothies are my gamer great darts!
I use 30 gram hurricane V2 and they are brilliant apart from the points are quite fragile
Being a massive Peter Wright fan, I’ve automatically gravitated towards Red Dragon Darts. I love their products and it’s more convenient than anything for me to use. 😊
RedDragon is still struggling to center the graphics on their flights to this day. This is particularly annoying when you use the service to print your own flights. Even on the otherwise very good hardcore flights, the lettering is always in a slightly different place. It is strange, however, that this problem, which occurs with almost all RD flights, does not exist with the WINMAU flights, but their Rhino flights do not have the lifespan of the hardcore flights ...
I give props to red dragon, they are always making a new design for Peter. IMO it shows how much they are willing to put in the extra effort. I am also a fan of Peter Wright but I actually throw a set of shot darts ATM 🤣
expensive to be a fan of him... you must have 100 sets 😉😂
Just bought harrows darts. Good to know they’re considered good because I’m fairly new to throwing.
Red dragon should be at least top of A tier if not S
The problem with RD is they make some primo darts and some very mediocre ones. Depends on the model, but I would still put them up there since the good ones are very good for the $.
I throw the Zx3..and absolutely swear by them..together with the Nitro Tech stems, they're exceptional
McKicks is the dart that MVG keeps returning to. I have a set and they are very solid.
Mckicks for me too. If they could only get the weights correct. I have gotten 22 g darts set that were all 23g. Great darts when you get a good set.
Used to throw red dragon and then moved to target, just really beautiful darts
Nice one Jack, interesting choices too!
Sorry to be pedantic though as that is not all manufacturers lol!
Its actually really crazy how many there are these days and new ones popping up all the time. The Asian countries for a start seem to have a new brand almost monthly, absolutely insane.
But out of some of the more well known ones you missed out Nodor, essentially the same as Winmau and RD as all made same place and also Voks, a U.S. brand but make some interesting darts.
Also Elkadart which is same guys who make Pentathlon. Also Cuesoul too and one of the brands I think make the most perfectly made darts are Bulls Fighter from Korea.
Bulls Germany and Bulls Holland are predominantly made by Shot aka Puma NZ.
There is lots more but I am glad you included Trinidad, I think they are very good and not too crazily priced like some of them can be from Asia.

Dart board tiers please!!
Winmau and Red Dragon are the same company?. What about Designa their darts are some of best out there, especially for the $.
all nodor!!!!!
I remember Simon Whitlock's darts on red dragon before it was used by Simon
@@romanreckless8263 Not all Designa darts are made by Nodor. Some are made by Retriever Sports who are also making Pentathlos darts.
Same company different brand names...
Cheers for the video Jack 1 company you may have missed out is Designa they do good quality stuff and Designa darts are bit cheap around the £20 to the £30 mark
I do think the one80 and mission darts should of been with target and winmau...
One80, for the price....I think they're great. On amazon too for super cheap
Very good video! I would have put Designa in there though. I use Winmau barrels and Harrows stems and flights, I 100% agree on their rankings!
I use McKicks Quick Reds and there the only dart which suit my thumb grip best. Tried every manufacturer and always come back to my Quick Reds so don’t knock McKicks until you try them🎯👍
Cosmo should be higher bc of their shafts and flights... plus they are some of the best soft tip darts along w monster and trinidad. its crazy how the biggest and best brands in asia are considered low tier for english people. cosmo and trinidad are amazing.
Cause we in Europe don’t play soft tip as much
Not putting unicorn in S tier is kinda crazy, their products are fairly traditional but the quality is unmatched.
I was thinking the very same thing about unicorn, thought it was a certainty that they would be in the S tier
Love my Unicorn Brass Slims with brown Rodeo Wallet from 1981 (Made in England). Unicorn steel 450 24 pc set (China)for 20.00 from Dicks has been working great also.
I woulde do Red Dragon before Unicorn but i agree with the rest!
My first sets of darts were a 26gR set of Harrows I.C.E (white), a 26g set of the original Harrows Fire, a 28g set of Harrows Assassin, a set of Harrows Eric Bristow Silver Arrows, a set of Harrows Silver Shark, Club Brass, Voodoo, i had pretty well their whole range back in 2017
Gosh I wish I could find an old set of Assassin Plus. Front Weighted with all the rings!!!😢
I've played with the Shot Frontier and the Shot Tribal Weapon 4 and love them both. I've also played with Red Dragon Gerwyn Price darts and am a huge fan. I've also played with Harrows and Winmau darts but like the three sets mentioned above best.
I love supporting Harrows, 100% UK brand!
American here……I LOVE Harrows EVERYTHING!!!!
Hey, merry Christmas! Wanted to ask what you think of Loxley Darts and also the german manufacturer Evolution Darts... Mostly handcrafted and some even custom made by a german engineer. If you can get your hands on them, please show us your opinion. Cheers!

Shot definitely have the best variety, and their points are the best by a country mile. They never go blunt.
Shot darts are top notch they got a 5.0 rating online
My favorite Mckicks Alan Glazier original 80% tungsten. Have them 12 years still going strong.
Target is style over substance. Way overpriced for darts you can throw or whose points are always breaking.
Designa are hit and miss, mine are inconsistent flushness with stem.
Performance darts are actually very good.
Bulls NL depends, some are great, some are terrible.
Mission, One 80 underrated.
Loxley too early to tell but first impressions very very good.
RD, Winmau, hit and miss.
100% agree about Target

What are the expensive Darts from Unicorn? Brail or Breil? Could not hear ist.
McKicks.. supported alot of players in the 70s etc.. Alan Glaziers darts were sold extensively from them.. not to be confused with Tommy Darts though
The majority of targets darts don't feel right to me. The only ones that felt good enough to buy were the Taylor gen 3. I actually went back to Taylor's unicorn phase 6 after losing the gen 3 ones. Now I'm throwing a set of shot darts. To me a dart is a dart now, I actually consider price. 8 years ago I didn't but then I became a father 🤣

_S_
Harrows
one80
shot
_A_
Red Dragon
Target
Cosmo
Winmau
Bulls
_B_
Mission
Unicorn
XQmax
_C_
I don't really have a company i would place this low actually.
_Don't know_
Trinidad
Dynasty
Datadart
McKicks
Elkadarts
Bulls NL
Designa
Could do with an updated one of these 👌

I only just bought myself a new board since watching your channel bud, got me back into playing again when he couldn't lol, keep up the good work!!!
@@LondonPredatorAngler Thats great! Love hearing about things like that. I have one of those boards with the hole for a camera too :) Glad to hear you got back into playing, I am hopeless as you know but as long as I am able to still throw a dart even if it misses I am happy lol! :)
Red dragon fall under the same manufacturer as Winmau (Nodor). The quality of darts are very similar but are just labelled as a different brand. I think McKicks and Bull's also share the same manufacturer but I could be wrong on that one.
I would of had Target and Red Dragon in the super tier with Target just edging in first place.
I’ve got target dart but keep going back to my bulls dart I have max hopp gen 2 and I love them
McKicks sells the old MvG Darts for half the price as the XQMax ones
And MvG actually uses the McKicks version (he went back to them recently as yall know).
they are premium whites!!!. not master farts as people think
Bulls, Shot and One80 should definitely stay inside the top spots. They might not be the cheapest on the market, but in terms of quality, all of them are top notch!
I will never get, why people still bring Winmau and Harrows up that high? These darts aren’t too good in terms of quality wise and aren’t cheap either 🤷🏼♂️
Spot on I think mate, Pentathlon Flights are good like you said and I agree with the rest, Unicorn stuff looks/feels outdated and Target is the cream of the crop. One thing on McKicks, I’ve never used them either but I’m sure I heard MVG used a set of their darts and used them on his journey to greatness for a long time.
I have a set of his from MasterDarts from years ago 😊
red dragon s tier for me
Where would cuesoul go
With no doubts Target produces superb darts (unfortunately I cannot say the same about their dartboards ). I love their darts since I have picked up them for first time. I love their design, innovation, packaging. Downside is they're monster-expensive....
What about decathlon canaveral? Have you ever heard about this one? Is it good enough? Is it made from sisal fibre too?
Canaveral darts are made by Harrows.
who the fuk does a teir list with literally half the companies you've never even had an experience with? ridiculous mate please sort it out
I use Target Stuff but in my opinion Target Company day by day make worst equipment. One week ago one of my dart broken when fall down on flor. Unfortunately tip break inside barrel. I can' remove it. 2.Target shafts since few mont break so easy (i use progrip shafts Target).3 - dartboard. Quality is better than unicorn elipse pro, I'm sure, but after 4 mont playing my darts became to fall down. (elipse pro are terrible after 1 year some sectors look like sponge). I expecting more from dartboard Target Pro Tour. Sorry for my english:) Greetings
I'm still fairly new to your channel so I can't be sure you haven't covered this already, but I'd be super interested in seeing a similar tier / rankings video on a bunch of PDC players' darts!
Really enjoy your content over here in the States! God Bless.
*EDIT* -- Just now seeing the thumbnail for your PDC darts ranking vid, smh... my bad lol... Off to watch it now though!
Very interesting, I bought a set of Swiss Points from Target just before the Covid outbreak and have been throwing them almost daily ever since. Fantastic quality. They're quite a complicated looking dart. I'm shredding flights at the moment now I'm getting steadily better and I've broken one point in 6 months and that was because I was throwing like an utter tool after getting frustrated...
have many brands of darts most the top tier companys, but best for me tho have been a dart from Mccoy. yeah id never heard of them untill i bought the darts, they just looked a nice shape that i thought would suit me, and sure enough i play better with them then i do any of my other darts. so really the big names are just what they are big names, doesnt mean they have the thing that will suit you.
What about loxley?
Mckicks mighty grip are mvg’s darts, got to be at least B
he uses premium whites
Master Darts?
I don't think China makes better darts than Japan, you are being influenced too much by the giant marketing machines... Cosmo and Shot should are at the top of my list for their quality, I suspect Trinidad also, I've just never seen any of their darts. The McKicks darts I've owned are also superb, but not a lot of marketing behind them. And why would the rating of a manufacturer drop when they lose a player, that has nothing to do with the manufacture or quality of the dart...
My whole sets is Cosmo . straight barrel center weight 18g with duraluminum shafts size 3 and rocket style spinning flights
Mckicks premium whites are fantastic darts
Shot darts should be in “E” just for the simple fact they are so extortionately expensive. Cosmo darts are extremely well made/machined; they deserve a place in, at least, “A”
If Winmau and RD are the same company, why are they in different tiers?
Lexus and Toyota are same manufacturer, but different tier.
Because this guy has no clue what he is saying- both s-tier for sure
My Sentiments Exactly!!! Winmau, Red Dragon and Nodor are One. Many darts in the Winmau line are also in the Nodor and RD sets albeit in different names.
Forgot both designa and cuesoul
We all know target make the best most high quility darts but winmau makes the best boards I use the blade 5 duel core with the same set of targets I baught 6 years ago and never swapped and they are still in great condition will go another 15 years because of the quality of the dart
How can you seriously rank a darts company if you have never used their products? Trinidad/Condor darts for example are machined to perfection and in my opinion are at least the equal, if not better quality than Target and some of the Target stuff is more expensive.
180 darts are also great quality and inovative. In my opinion Unicorn dartboards are expensive and qualty control is a lottery, look at the problems with them in the PDC.
Red dragon should be a bit further up the list than that in my opinion
Reddragon is s tear for me..
How about a Tierlist of all the PDC-referees or the expected World Cup teams chances.
Sort of disrespectful to start such a list and put two companies on that list you did no homework on. That’s just not professional. It doesn’t take very long to hit their websites and perform some analysis based your knowledge of other products.
Designa darts would be tier s in my opinion the darts they make are cheap but high quality
Red dragon number 1
I love Shot & Red Dragon.
After using some high end target darts, i think they are rather overrated for the price.
Harrows are a great dart, nor a fan of unicorn products to be fair.
Winmau boards are excellent, but I've had bad luck using their darts...
Missed cuesoul & Tommy's darts & A180
Have you tried darts corner Designa darts
I'm a Designa player. Why aren't they in here?
Designa is outdated red dragon models
Harrows need on Top to👍
Bought a set of target darts once, never again! I own Winmau´s RD´s and Unicorns but the targets where the worst for me
Wow, don't think it's fair to rank things you haven't tried. I have a set of McKick's Lighting darts and they are as good as anything from Target, without the premium pricing. Packaging is meh, but I don't throw the packaging. The machining on the darts is flawless, and the weight match is perfect. Unicorn on the other hand is overrated. I have a few sets and none of them are finished as well, and one set has a defect where the point fits into the barrel. This list is b tier for bogus at best. Anywho, love the channel!
Agreed. Used the same lighting darts for many years and I can’t imagine changing!
My top five ranking;-
Unicorn
Harrows
Winmau
Red Dragon
Target
A few more;-
Puma,- NZ.
Elkadart,- Retriever sports.
Jim Pike,- brass darts.
TruLon,- brass darts.
DorWin,- brass darts.
Tex,- brass darts.
Some of those companies closed years back.
I also rate darts co's by flights and boards.
Designs darts are awesome. Reasonably priced too
Designa are cheap but quality is not 100% there. Good for testing styles due to price.
@@misterbreaks7808 They're made by Nodor and they own Winmau and Red Dragon. The quality you expect from those two are what you'll find with Designa 👍
100.. SMOOTHIES
I love designa... I have mustang v2s and the quality is 100%
Viper by gld ???
Target, overpriced tungsten, mission, harrows and red dragon are the best quality for me, I'm addicted to darts and have over 50 sets 😱
Bloody love darts
Target overpriced if you do not consider their effort they put designing their darts.
Harrows, ok quality but they do not go for risky designs and only consider revenue. Also is the only brand that does not fit their own conversion points.
Nodor, the quality control is terrific. My only dart brand with thread issues and peeled off coating out of the box.
Mission, basically the old Target design with similar price. Weird marketing as they tend to aim high for their darts, but they also put their logo on a whole bunch of low quality accessories.... Honestly, I really don't understand why dartscorner need to set up Mission just to sell the same products with a higher price tag.
Viper??
Whats the link to the list
Best set of darts I've ever played with were DataDarts
Martin Adam's wolfies!!!!.... my match darts!!
I have heard that from others as well, never owned any
S tier would be harrows, winmau and designa for me.
A would be targets mission and one80
Unicorn might make B the quality is not very good. Match weights are always way off some up to a gram in my experience.
Target over red dragon😂 would strongly disagree
Loxley, KOTO ?
No Viper or Elkadart?
Boards winmau dart personally red dragon
Beautiful baby dog.
