The TARGET Darts Bolide Void 90% Tungsten Swiss Point Steel Tip Darts Set combines precision and style for an exceptional darting experience. Crafted from high-quality tungsten, these darts offer superb balance and durability. The Swiss Point system allows for quick and easy point changes, enhancing versatility during play. The sleek design of the Bolide Void adds a touch of sophistication to any dartboard setup. However, some users may find the price point slightly high compared to other options. Overall, these darts are a top choice for serious players looking for performance and aesthetics in their equipment.
Stepping into the world of darts with this set has refined not just my aim but my appreciation for the sport. The precision and balance of these darts elevated my game, offering a tactile connection to each throw that I hadn’t experienced before. The ability to customize the darts to my liking was a thoughtful addition, tailoring the experience to my personal style. While the performance is unmatched, I found the coating prone to wear, a minor flaw in an otherwise stellar set. This set has not just improved my game but deepened my respect for the intricacies of darts.
Target Darts are one of the leading manufacturers of darts and are used by many professional players; including Phil Taylor, Raymond van Barneveld, and Rob Cross. This Bolide Void 90% Tungsten Swiss Point Steel offered for review under the Amazon Vine programme are a reasonable set at 48.95 — if you know the Target range you’ll know their premium darts sell for much more. The pack contains:
* 3 x 90% Tungsten Barrels
* 3 x 26mm Swiss Points
* 3 x Pro Grip Shafts
* 3 x No.6 Pro Ultra Flights
* 1 x Swiss Point Tool
I’ll start with a description of a dart to understand the contents of the box:
* Points — these are the Swiss Point system that allows you to change points quickly and easily, with a dedicated Swiss key provided. Made from stainless steel they are precision milled to reduce ‘bounce outs’
* Barrel — the bit you grip, which here is made of 90.0% Tungsten explaining the product description. The barrel is extremely important because it is where most of the weight in the dart is carried. Cheaper darts can vary in weight which will reduce accuracy.
* Shaft and flight — the shaft stabilises the trajectory of the flight path whilst flights are used to balance the dart during flight. In this case the shaft and flights are separate.
Arriving in simple cardboard packaging which as a committed recycler I like a lot, I chose 22 gram darts, but 24 gram and 26 gram versions are also available. I found the grip good thanks to a ribbed grip. They feel well balanced and certainly fly well. They are thinner than many darts I have seen before, but thanks to the tool supplied if you wish to customise with different shafts, points or barrel to get an optimum setup for you it is perfectly possible. I think these are a fine everyday set of darts for the keen player, and would make a good present for someone who competes in a darts league. I like the appearance and there’s a definite feeling of quality. Personally I prefer one piece shaft and flights as the only minor fault I could find was that the flights occasionally dislodge if close to another dart and they are fiddly to reinsert, but that’s a personal choice. Aesthetically they look good too thanks to a black barrel which offsets the yellow shaft very strikingly.
As an avid darts player looking to enhance my game, I decided to invest in the TARGET Darts Bolide Void set. Touted for its precision engineering and high-quality materials, this set seemed poised to deliver an exceptional playing experience. Here’s an in-depth look at how it stands up to regular play and whether it lives up to its promises.
Material Quality and Design:
The Bolide Void darts are constructed from 90% tungsten, a material favored by professional players for its dense weight distribution and slim profile. This allows for tighter groupings and higher scoring potential. The sandblasted black titanium coating not only gives the darts a sleek, attractive finish but also adds a layer of durability against wear and tear.
Barrel Specifications:
The set offers options in three weights: 22g, 24g, and 26g, all with specific dimensions tailored to different preferences in balance and grip. I opted for the 26g version, which features a length of 47.4mm and a diameter of 7.85mm, providing a substantial yet balanced feel in hand. The grip is aggressive enough to ensure control without being overly harsh on the fingers.
Swiss Point System:
Perhaps the most innovative feature of the Bolide Void set is the Swiss Point system, which allows for quick changes of the tip length and style using the included Swiss Point tool. This flexibility is particularly useful in adapting the darts to various playing conditions and boards, enhancing their versatility across different settings.
Shafts and Flights:
The darts come equipped with short yellow Pro Grip shafts and Pro.Ultra No.6 flights, which complement the barrels well. The shafts fit securely, reducing the risk of loosening during play, and the flights are of a durable 100-micron thickness, maintaining stability and precision in flight.
Performance and Experience:
In use, the Bolide Void darts offer a consistently high performance. The balance and weighting of the 26g darts make them a pleasure to throw, with a steady trajectory and pinpoint accuracy. They have noticeably improved my grouping and overall scoring in games, validating the investment.
Durability and Warranty:
The lifetime guarantee on the tungsten barrels is a significant advantage, reflecting Target Darts’ confidence in their product’s durability. It’s reassuring to know that the investment is protected, especially for a player who participates in frequent competitions.
Packaging and Extras:
The packaging is robust and includes all the necessary accessories to get started immediately, including the Swiss Point tool, which is a thoughtful inclusion that adds value to the set.
This dart set comes with 3 individual darts included.
The darts have a nice weight to them so they glide easily when thrown.
They are a great beginner set to start practicing with. I love the grip they have and they help me feel like I have good control with them.
These are really amazing quality darts.
The weighting is well balanced and you can tell the quality difference between these and some cheaper darts.
Admittedly I am still more accustomed to using the thicker style barrel darts but I know when I get to grips with the thinner feel I will love these even more!
I can’t stress enough how much better these are than your standard 15 – 20 set and recommend them to anyone looking to take their darts play to the next level!
Please be aware, the thinner barrel and weight isn’t for everyone so don’t automatically think that these will be your saving grace, they just work well for me.
I think theyre great (to quote Tony the Tiger) and hence I’ve given them 5
I hope you find my review helpful.
It offers decent performance across the board. The weight of the darts is just right, providing a perfect balance for precise throws, and the sleek titanium black coating not only adds to their aesthetics but also ensures long-lasting durability. The threads on the darts provide added friction, enhancing our control and precision during gameplay.
However, during my practice sessions, I did encounter a minor issue with the Bolide Void Pro Ultra flights. They tended to come loose quite frequently, requiring me to pause and reattach them often. And it does come with a slightly higher price tag.
Nice weight, really well balanced, easy to throw, got these for the grandson (13) who enjoys darts and plays against his father, father has his own darts and a couple of old pairs which the grandson gets to use, one set is to bulky for him with thick barrels and the other he says are blunt, now he has his own set nice slim barrels good weight and sharp, and he got his first treble 20 with them so he is over the moon, but he has to hide them from his father who also says they are great darts so thumbs up all round.
These are pretty decent, if not as good as my usual set, for the price that is a fraction of my set, they are excellent value for money. certainly a good set to give my friends to use when we are having a friendly at home, and I would have been really pleased to have received these had I not got a set that I really love!
Great quality darts from Target, I really like these darts, the barrels feel dense, properly balanced and weighted with a really nice grip in the hand. they’re just a cool, understated set of good darts that feel nice in the hand and throw well, which at this price point is really what you want in my opinion. Something that focuses on the most important aspects. I really like them.

I Hope this Helps
This is a super set of darts and very lightweight and strong with a superb grip and very accurate,
Made of 90% Tungsten and steel tip points and perfectly balanced and each dart is fitted with a pro ultra flight and you also get a Swiss point tool for changing tips if need be,
Highly recommended set for beginners like me and professional players.
Theses are impressive darts. Excellent grip; feel,good in the hand; excellently milled barrel and good tips (they also look good too, especially with the rounded barrel – type 5 – version, which I chose and prefer the feel of). My only quibble for these otherwise top quality arrows is they come with no spare shafts or flights (which would be an inexpensive inclusion) and lasckmof a case or pouch. Considering they are at the higher end of the market I feel they should have been included. Still, these are very nice indeed (and I look forward to them increasing my poor throwing average – or at least make me feel like that this is now more achievable!)
These arrived in what seems to be a standard Target darts cardboard box packaging. It looks nice but ultimately it’s going to get flung in the bin. Inside the box you get 3 barrels, 3 pro grip shafts, 3 pro ultra flights, 3 x 26mm black swiss points and a swiss point tool. The darts are pre-assembled as expected.
These Bolide Void darts come in a range of shapes and weights. I ordered the 25g model 04 mainly because I thought I’d like the feel of that particular shape. Which I do. The 04 model has one of the longer barrels in the range. But with 5 different barrel styles to choose from there’s probably something there for everyone.
The darts themselves have a Swiss Point system. This allows you to swap out the point for something different. I like that these come with smooth points rather than etched ones. They should be a bit kinder to the dartboard and shouldn’t tear it up as much.
Aesthetically these look very nice. They have a sandblasted black titanium coating on the barrel that matches the point. It’s maybe not the most colourful barrel, but I like the look of it. The darts feel comfortable in the hand and provide just the right amount of grip for me. I like that the grip is all the way along the barrel.
Overall I’m very happy with these darts. They fly well and look great.
My son was delighted when I got the chance to test and review these darts. He was surprised how thin they are, he’s used to more old school darts, but he said they are a really good weight and great balance with them.
In the box you get 3 darts with fitted flights and a tool for switching out the points easily and quickly.
These darts are a good weight and those grips are excellent, it’s really difficult to run your finger across them as the grip is so strong.
I love the colours, grey, black and yellow – they look impressive!
What a great gift they would make for anyone who plays darts, they are not the cheapest but you know as soon as you see them they are well made, and once you pick one up you can feel its a classy product.
These are very smart looking 90% Tungsten darts from well know brand ‘Target’. With swiss points that can be changed by using the Swiss tool provided. It doesn’t come with a case which seems to be the way with many dart sets and nor does it come with spare fights or stems, which again isn’t unusual but they are only a few pounds to buy.
There are different shaped barrels and weights to choose from which will be a personal preference. I play well with them. These darts come with black swiss points and a black coated barrel and is a smart look.
