TARGET Darts Ares 22G/23G/24G Tungsten Steel Tip Darts Set | 6 Pro Grip Shafts | 9 Pro Ultra Flights | Dart Wallet Bundle

For many years I used to play occasionally for fun with 16 grams Brass still darts, which came by default along with my originally purchased dartsboard. Now, it was time to improve my gameplay, and I wanted to try heavier darts since most professionals play with 21-25-gram darts. This was my first tungsten still darts, and I gave it a try to 23gr darts since is somewhere in the middle. Going from 16g to 23g is a big step up, however, I have seen my performance slightly improved. Also, you should not be expecting to change darts all sudden to become a pro. Those darts are 80% tungsten still, and after experimenting with several stem lengths and flight types, I have concluded that suit me best medium stems 48mm (not included) with standard flight No2 (included). I had no idea that there are so many dart set variations, but I could say that I learned a lot lately.I have tried stems from other brands as well like Unicorn and Harrows, but some broke after a couple of weeks of practice. Although I broke some stems and rings from other brands, still I don't count a single target stem broken. Therefore, I can tell that the "Target Pro grip" stems that come with this package are the most durable, easy to find, and the cheapest in the market. This makes them the best, and probably I am going to use them even in my future dart sets.The next step for me was to try different weights and barrel types. I am a Mid-gripper, my grip is in the middle and slightly towards the rear, and I find this barrel very good. The smooth section that has helps to grab your spot without watching. However, sometimes is slippery, and I would prefer if it was more grippy in the middle instead of smooth.So, I have decided to keep those for my wife and get another set for me, with 90+% tungsten still, heavier, and of course more expensive. At the moment I have picked one darts set each from the most famous brands (Red Dragon, Harrows, Unicorn, Target) with different weights and barrel types (front weight, rear weight, middle weight), and after practicing with all of them, I have concluded that ARES darts (middle-weight) are the best of them and currently those are the ones that I am using (not my wife). I found those darts even better than more professional darts that exist in the market. Maybe that's because 23g is the right weight for me, and I haven't picked another set of 23g. This could be the reason that I have better performance with them, especially when trying to hit doubles.In the final version of them, I have added Target Pro Grip Vision stems, and flight protectors, they are very accurate and look beautiful.The Dartscounter app currently offers 3 games online per week without membership, which for me is more than enough. I have tried playing online a couple of games, but I am not impressed by the online darts gameplay as there are a lot of considerations. Although there is a requirement for camera usage and you can see the darts being shot, however, you don't know how far your opponent is hitting those triple 20s. You cannot see scores from previous turns or history, not easy to track your opponent's score, and there are some bugs. So, not very interested in using this free month membership card, a month is just for a taste, maybe if it was a year I would consider it.In conclusion, those darts may be entry-level darts, and definitely not the best darts set that Target has to offer. However, are at a very reasonable price, good quality, very good value for money, and after almost a month of daily practice, I highly recommend ARES darts not only for beginners, but maybe for professionals too. It's definitely worth buying them.

These are a good set off darts without breaking the budget

Very good quality and balanced darts. But the rear of the barrel is too grippy for me. I'm sure they will be fine for others.

Very happy with my new darts worth the money

Been trying to find a set of darts that I’m comfortable with and can play decent darts. These are perfect for what I wanted and a great price.

Easy to use, nice weight to throw and great quality darts. My hubby loves them.
