This package of darts is very good quality . Darts are made well balanced and grip is good and non slippery. All good just thought would be better if storage case would also come with it.
These are quality darts as expected from Target.
Firstly I think the ECHO series looks great – I really like the darker colours used on these as opposed to the silver and red traditional Aspinall darts. The coating hasn’t marked yet even after repeated use and numerous strikes so it seems durable.
The barrel is nice in the hand with the weight more towards the front. I like the thickness of the barrel which is perfect for me – I tried the Aspinall 95% tungsten but found these too thin but the 90% is spot on in these ECHO edition darts.
Grip wise they’re pretty smooth with only a very light amount of grip. Again this is personal so if you’re looking for a grippy dart then I’d look elsewhere but if you’re a player who likes less grip then these would be perfect.
The Swiss Storm points are excellent – they really grip into the board but then don’t leave unsightly holes. These are easily changed out using the Swiss point tool and theres loads of differrent types available which is great for customisation.
The set comes with flights and shafts but I’ve opted to change these out for an all in one system which works better for me.
No 180’s yet with these but I’ve been close so I’m hopeful.
5 stars – recommended!
As a serious darts player, I was thrilled to get my hands on these Aspinall darts. The Swiss Point technology is amazing — makes it easy to find the perfect setup. The tungsten barrels feel amazing in my hand, and the grip is just right. These darts have truly elevated my game.
Having used various darts over the years, this set has significantly enhanced my playing experience. The balance and grip are exceptional, aiding in more accurate throws. The Swiss Point system is particularly noteworthy, making point changes quick and simple, which is beneficial during intense matches. The overall build quality is robust, suggesting that these darts will endure countless games. It’s a set that respects the skill of the player and matches it with precision engineering.
Sure there is nothing wrong with this dart set in terms of performance. Easily good enough for beginners such as us. Even good enough for semi-professionals I would thing.
As to performance for professional level play, I think that would need to be answered by players at the level.
I think they could make a great birthday gift for those who love darts.
On the downside they are quite expensive, compared to many others without the branding/endorsement.
I’m just a amateur but these are the nicest darts I’ve had yet, feel well made and were easy to throw.
the set I ordered are heavier than I am used to but they feel great.
No case is included which is fine as I had one, but I would recommend ordering a case if you don’t have one to keep them safe when travelling
would recommend!
These darts are truly designed for experienced dart players seeking precision and optimal performance. The high tungsten content offers a balanced weight and stable flight, while the innovative Swiss Point system provides versatility and stability. The included accessories complete this high-quality set, making it a great choice for anyone looking to enhance their dart game.
These darts feel nice in the hand. They are well made and nicely presented. My current darts are approx 20 years old. I have tried many sets over that time but always returned to my original set. These have a decent level of grip and I like the idea of being able to quickly and easily change out tips. I am throwing well with these so far. Maybe I’ve finally found a successor to my old set. Time will tell!
Play darts? Need some new arrows?
These are the TARGET Darts Nathen Aspinall ECHO Professional Darts, 90% Tungsten, 23g, In Black / Grey, Includes SP Tool, Available In 22, 23 Or 24g.
These darts are the business, they look so freaking cool in grey / black, you get 3 x 23g darts with removable tips, you get a tool so they are easy to replace if they break or blunt. New tips range from 5 to 15 for 3. I only casually play down my local and it is going to take some time to get used to these, as they are 1g heavier than my previous set. I’m not great though, but get better after a few beers ha. Just not gotta lose em, as 65 is a big price for a set of arrows.
Overall the I’d recommend this set for sturdiness and sexiness for any casual or serious darts player, but they do come at a premium for the price. But they are a fantastic dart, it has to be said..
These darts feel real quality. My son and I play a lot and have had lots of different darts sets in the last few years and these are easily the highest quality. The weight feels spot on and the connection with the dartboard is firm. They are easy to grip and the stems feel solid in comparison to my old darts. I couldn’t really tell the difference between darts until I had a go of these and now I can tell… VERY nice… a little pricey but you get what you pay for I suppose.
I’ve had a couple of sets now from Target and these ones don’t disappoint. They are well balanced, slim and the grips on these are excellent. The grips are really for those who like a slightly smoother feel to the dart than others I’ve had from the Target range (which felt slightly rougher in the hand).
I love the design, the feel, you can really tell that these are a quality item. On top of that, everything is replaceable, including the tips. A top dart that feels nice in the hand, and are great to throw. Cannot fault them.
I’m certainly not a professional darts player, but I do enjoy a game now and again. Over the years I’ve been handed many different sets of darts to try out, including expensive ones. These Target darts are the best of all of them!
For starters, the grip and hand feel is amazing, which I find assists me greatly in controlling the flight, and therefore accuracy of my throw. I can honestly say that these darts improve my game. I’d liken it to trying to put a smooth finish on wood with a cheap mass produced plane, then comparing the result you get with a professional hand finished finely balanced plane. Better tools can enable a better result.
The darts have the Swiss point system, and usefully come with a removal tool, though you’ll need to provide your own spares. The tips are tungsten, and designed to be reliably sharp and stable. They’re also more brittle than bog standard steel you get on budget pub darts, but when you consider these are pro standard darts, you can’t expect them to be designed for bouncing off concrete floors or other hard objects. If you do that and the tips break it’s not the fault of the darts. If you can’t hit the board you should consider buying a cheaper set of darts first, and practicing, before coming back later for these.
I’m very impressed with these darts, and if you’re a reasonably good player, I think there’s a good chance you’ll appreciate how they allow you to elevate your game beyond the capabilities of cheaper dart sets. Top marks.
These darts are Pro-player Nathan Aspinall’s latest collaboration with Target. I have Nathan’s previous, 80% Tungsten set and they are my favourites, so I have high expectations for these.
Luckily, Target have met my expectations and more.
The darts are a very similar shape to the 80% tungsten set, as I’d expect. It’s a very traditional shape, with a bulge just after the point putting the weight fairly forward of center. This set has finer machining for the grip area, and the heavier grooving of the 80% set further back. This gives a nice visual appearance, and excellent grip.
The darts are fully-featured, as you’d expect at this price point. They have replaceable Swiss Points, and are supplied with Pro Grip shafts and Pro Ultra flights. All are to the high quality I’ve come to expect from Target.
I would say the colour scheme is a bit boring. The red and black of Nathan’s 80% tungsten set is really striking. This grey on grey, not so much. However, with your choice of flights and shafts you can jazz the darts up however you like, and the neutral colours of the barrels will match anything.
No case is supplied – most players in the market for darts like these will already have a case, so I have no problem with that. You do get a Swiss Point tool, which having carefully examined the supplied points, might come in useful.
The points have a distinctive groove machined in them just forward of where they screw into the barrel. As an engineer, this worries me – it’s a perfect stress raiser. I haven’t used the darts enough to have any problems yet, but this engineered weak spot is a likely point of failure, as other reviewers have already experienced. Having said that, my 80% set has exactly the same groove machined in the points and hasn’t given any trouble at all, so maybe my concerns are unfounded. I’ve got spare points anyway.
Overall, a really nice set and an upgrade from my other Asp set. The quality is as good as it gets – true professional grade equipment. The price is also fairly reasonable compared with other 90% tungsten dart sets.
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 tag shafts, 3 pro ultra flights, 3 swiss black 26mm points and a swiss point tool. The darts are pre-assembled as expected.
Aesthetically these look very nice. The grey, black and white colour scheme is very smart. The shape of the barrel is very comfortable in my hand but I found that the front of the dart isn’t very grippy. The grooves here are very shallow. The only real deep grip is at the back of the barrel. If this is what you like then that’s great. I think I would have preferred a bit more grip but it all depends on how you personally hold the dart.
Overall I’m very happy with these darts. They fly well, look great, but could have been grippier. I’d have liked to have had some spare flights, possibly a dart case too, but as it is it’s a very nice package.
This set of Nathan Aspinall Target darts are high quality, at least for a player of my very non-pro level, as you would expect from a set of darts with 90% tungsten barrels. It is not just the barrels that is good with this set though, it is everything about them as complete darts. From their balance to how the grip feels to how they fly at the board – I am really pleased with them. I ordered the 24g darts as this weight matches what I am used to throwing, and I prefer the heavier dart. I particularly like on this dart the slight torpedo shape on the bottom of the barrels (please see photos) which I prefer to a straight barrel or an over exaggerated torpedo barrel.
The darts come boxed which includes the; 3 x barrels, 3 x shafts, 3 x steel tips, 3 x flights, a tip tool and an information leaflet (please see photos).
I happily recommend this product to any persons, new to the sport who are looking to buy some top quality darts or to someone advanced who knows what they like to throw and is looking for a new set of good quality high tungsten content darts.
This item was supplied to me free of charge through Amazon’s Vine program; however this in no way influences my review, which is intended to be both impartial and informative for potential purchasers.
These darts are a really nice weight and i love the grippy feel in the hand.
Have the SP system but i don’t want to play around with them and leave them as they are as there are reviews of this dart with issues.
They don’t go where i want them to go but that’s true of any darts but i really like the length and thickness of them being very similar all the way down the dart.
