5 times World Champion Raymond van Barneveld talks to Player Liaison Matt Rankin about his current darting setup in the Unicorn Darts Showroom in Nottingham
Barney knows best when it comes to setups! Gotta say this is a great combination he is using! The player development barrels look beautiful and the new soft flex stems are brilliant.
As i tried the softflex stems, my target vision flights were to big for those stems, they were always falling of the stem. Are the Unicorn flights smaller than the target ones??
I love the look of them but there is no grip exactly where my thumb goes, Grrrrrrrr Woulda ordered a set and gave them a try. I'm currently using Gary Anderson phase 3. They are quality darts, but I'm thinking of moving back to a slightly wider barrel. Pity.
Anyone explain why the grip in this video is different than the grip he uses during his televised matches? He has a similar grip to mine so I always took interest in his grip style. His grip stays the same throughout the throw too. This is the typical grip Barney uses in matches.... i60.tinypic.com/o0weg7.jpg Any reason why he's showing such a different grip style in this video?
He uses kind of a little machine to make a hole in the flight pushes the ring in the flight and puts that on the shaft (sorry for the crappy english, im dutch y'know
I wonder how much of what he says is scripted by Unicorn. Barney thinks a lot about his setup (next to Phil Taylor probably more than anyone) but most things of what he says feel like Unicorn asked him to say that to advertise the new products. F.e. the flexible nylon shafts. As soon as he switched to Target he never played with those type of shafts again. If he really liked them, he would have asked Target to make some as well. Same with the red flights. He promotes bright colors but plays with black flights most of the time. It just feels like this is an advertising talk from Barney for some Unicorn products, not an explanation or argumentation of his own setup. That being said, I love Barney!
Like these darts, interesting to see Barneys grip up close too :)
think the grip is misleading, he always shows it like that but if you watch him play he grips the dart quite different. watch the thumb!
good point
It’s hard to demonstrate your exact grip apart from when you’re actually throwing the dart IMO

1:49 Coincidence, I missed a 9-darter last week, too. That first dart went straight in the treble 1.
Beautiful darts!

Good video. I didn't realize he dropped down to 21 grams.

henning180 maybe thicker ?
You’ve misspelled two 3 letter words

I think what he did in this video is to give a clearer view of the position of his fingers on the dart
true, grip is different in game. I am always on the hunt for his middle finger tip placement, hard to find evidence.
Ray's argument for the red flights is interesting
How do those rings on the shaft work? They go through his red flight?
He uses kind of a little machine to make a hole in the flight pushes the ring in the flight and puts that on the shaft (sorry for the crappy english, im dutch y'know
+trampo trix idk when they were released but maybe he simply uses the unicorn super true 125
Yeah could be, but I have such a machine and it costs only €2,50
trampo trix really ? whats its name? ^^ i need such a machine too :)
+Bjaerne-Bo Schneider its a flight cutter by Harrows
What is the name his stems?

Well nice darts although I still prefer phase 2 and machinas...
