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.
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!
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.
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.
