These darts are amazing! The overall length is short so it is easy to control, the cut is well placed on a non-habitual outline, and the barrel itself is heavy at 18g, so it flies sharp even when thrown gently and without effort! Also, the blue color in the cut is beautiful and overall I think this is a barrel that you will never get tired of. That's what I would expect from Target and Mr. Phil Taylor!

A friend gave it to me as a gift and I've been throwing it around just now. My impression when I held it was "Fat! I was like "Fat! Throwing it, I thought, "Wow! I was very happy with it. The cut is strong, so there are different tastes, but I think it is a good barrel. It is also good that you can easily feel the weight of the barrel.

I received it today and used it right away. My first impression was that it was thick when I held it.
I threw it as if it was the KE-K of Aska Darts, but I was surprised at how sharp it flew and how much it rotated. Maybe it's the rotation that makes it fly so well, but it's a strange sensation.
I have not been a fan of the straightness of the previous Phil Taylor models, but I thought it was a good shape.
The pixel cut, which is unique to Target, also blends in nicely.
The price is good for 95% tungsten. The surface of the coating is shiny and cool.
You can't see it in the picture, but the inside of the screw threads are coated as well, so you can tell that a lot of effort has been put into every corner.
This barrel is the best professional model in the world, so I would like you to try this barrel at least once.

Compared to the Phil Taylor model Phase5 soft darts, the Phil Taylor Phase5 is thicker and heavier.
The taper of the shaft side is steeper and the Shark Cut makes the finger feel stronger.
The shaft is steeper than the Phase5, and the Shark Cut gives the impression of a stronger finger grip.
It also feels easier to rotate.

The barrel itself has a slightly forward center of gravity, but by attaching the attached titanium shaft, the center of gravity is shifted to be more toward the center of the barrel.
but by attaching the attached titanium shaft, the center of gravity of the barrel is shifted to the center of the barrel.

(The exact value is unknown, so this is my personal opinion)

Like the Unicorn Phase 5, it has a short barrel, but it has been changed to be very easy to handle.
The most notable feature is the pixel cut in the center of the barrel.
This is the grip position, so it is easy to understand.
It is also thick enough for easy gripping.
Phil himself designed this barrel to be used as a soft barrel, which is understandable.

If you use it with a setting other than the original, you need to set it so that there is no change in balance.
But it is possible to achieve a sharp and direct flight.

It is not recommended for beginners because of its weight.
but intermediate and advanced players can make the most of its special features.
I think a two-finger grip like his is the best choice.

No wonder it's so popular on overseas sites!
The Stewardess model is a little longer, but considering the almost identical flying characteristics, it is as expected of Phil!

When you hold it, you can feel its solid weight, but the grip is very good.
The ring, shark, and pixel cut are used from the back, but I mainly grip it at the border between the shark and pixel cut, but the pixel cut has a biting feel, and once it leaves my hand, it leaves without any aftertaste, which is very good.

I tried throwing it with the included shaft and flight, and the arrow velocity was very fast, so I think you need to be aware of the angle at which you are flying it, but once you get a handle on it, I don't think there is a flight that is as easy to use.

When you purchase this barrel, you will have a great sense of ownership just because it is "the barrel used by world champions" and it is a beautiful looking blue titanium coated barrel, so you will want to use it for a long time!

I received it yesterday and here are my immediate impressions after throwing it.
The cut is just right for me, and the feel is exquisite.
The weight is very heavy and you can feel that you are holding the barrel.
The flight is, to put it bluntly, one word.
It has a straightforward and aggressive flight and is very easy to control.
I think the recommended setting is to use the shaft and flights that come with it.
It is indeed a Phil Taylor model.
The pixel cut is in the perfect position, so it is easy to rotate, and I can only say that it has the best hand release.
It is a perfect barrel with absolutely nothing to complain about.

I bought it because I wanted a thicker, heavier dart.

It flies amazingly well.
Even when thrown in a straight line, it never stalls and gives the impression of extending at the end.

It features a pixel cut, but the actual grip point is at the rear of the pixel cut.
It feels like a ball being thrown with a zzzzzzzz weight.

It is not a strong cut by any means, but the thickness makes it feel rather strong.
This barrel is recommended for those who are not sure about their grip and are aiming for a smooth flight.

The design is elaborate and the tungsten is 95%, so I think it is a good value for money.

When it was released last year, I was curious about the pixel cut and bought it out of curiosity.
The cut holds up well, for some reason. Is it because of the pixel cut?
Until now, I had to replace the barrel every couple of months because the cut was worn out and the barrel would not hold the cut well.
This barrel has lasted twice as long, half a year. The blue color of the pixelated part has not faded even after half a year, and it is a perfect accent.
I have a feeling that this barrel is easy to throw without any particular habit.

The barrel has the exact same trajectory as your arm swing.

When you gather, when you pull it out
When you pull it out, you have to do it one at a time.
the palm of your hand will be gouged.
The spiral cut part.
