I was worried that it would take some time to get used to it because it was very heavy for me, having used a 16.5g barrel, and it was also long. I bought it because of the bright looking coating, but I got used to it quickly. The pixel grip fit in nicely and felt good in my hand, and my grip position was always stable even when I was throwing all the time. The coating did not peel off at all and I am very happy with my purchase.
I am now a heavy barrel guy. I have won several house tournaments and use this barrel for important tournaments as a good luck charm.
My setting is a duralumin fitted shaft slim #4 with a Mai Imataki professional flight to give a little charm to the men.
It attracts quite a few stares from people around me and I feel good every time I throw darts.
The two-color coating on the barrel and Mai Imataki Pro's flights are cute.

For those who are shying away from 20g, I recommend you to try it just once. I think it will change your common sense. It is the most comfortable barrel among all the barrels I have ever used.

I got it in a grab bag and started using it.
I had originally used Ghost 3 (16.5g), so when I held it for the first time, it felt quite heavy in my hand.
After all, because it is heavy, it feels like it descends quite quickly when you throw it uphill.
The flight that came with it cracked within a day, so I recommend having a spare.
I am currently using Elshaft and Elflight and they work fine. However, I feel that it flies straighter and stronger when I use the included flight.

The weight and thickness when you hold it are irresistible.
It is a product that makes you feel strongly that you are holding a dart.
The weight makes the darts fly with a certain degree of stability, and above all, the design is exactly as I imagined and does not betray my expectations before I purchased it.
I highly recommend it to those who like heavy darts!

Purchased.

I decided to buy it because I thought the grip was easy to understand and easy to throw. Before I bought it, I was worried that the barrel would be violent when it was stuck in the segment because of its long length and heavy weight, but it is not violent at all! The cut is not too tight but it grips well and flies well.

The cut is not too tight, but it grips and flies well.

When I throw the barrel, it usually falls down, but this barrel doesn't, so I think it is easy to see the line.


I think this is a very good purchase.

I tried it many times, but I think it should be pushed a little harder. It's a barrel that I think should be pushed a little harder! It is also good for swinging, of course, because the release is quite good, but it flies up without any sagging, so if you grasp the characteristics of the barrel and throw it, you will be able to get a good feel for the barrel.
I am not sure if I want to buy another barrel, but this one is one of the candidates.

I've been test pitching this for a while and will post it.

It's 44mm, 7.74mm, 20g, which is an overwhelming number for a soft dart. With these numbers and a ring cut with pixel cut, it has a very large presence in the hand. The take-back is so large and secure that it feels as if it is half automatic. Despite this thickness and the strength of the take, I didn't feel like it hooked too hard on release. Perhaps it is because the taper is quite abrupt, but it feels as if it pops out from between your fingers. When set up as packaged, it hits the target with tremendous force thanks to the dedicated flight (this flight is as small as a slim flight) and this performance. The speed at which you simply move your arm is more than enough to carry the force. The color of the coating is also very cool.
The color of the coating is also very cool...but I don't think you should change it because I think the performance and visuals are unique to this shaft.
