When I test-fired it at the store, I found it to be quite straightforward, sharp flying, and quite easy to handle.
Personally, I feel that my index finger wraps around the barrel when I grip it, so it just wraps around the position of the pixel cut, making it very easy to rotate.
I think it is a barrel that I can recommend to beginners as well.
It is also heavy and you can feel the weight of the barrel on takeback, so we recommend it to those who want to throw while feeling the weight of the barrel.

It's been a week since I bought it, so I thought I'd give a review...

I started playing darts seriously six months ago and was using a straight barrel.
During that time, my throwing style changed from swing to push and I started to feel that the straight barrel did not match my image of throwing.

It looks almost the same as a straight barrel, but the gentle taper certainly does the job.
Perhaps it is because it matches the image I have, but the rate is going up and A flight is right in front of me.
I am satisfied with the design, cut, and weight.
I recommend it to anyone who is thinking of switching from a straight barrel.

I have been practicing with it every day for a week since I bought it and the paint on the ring cut is peeling off. But on the contrary, it looks metallic and cool...!
Also, the vertical cut at the front of the barrel is not being utilized.

I have been using it since the day it was released.
As everyone else has said, I can't get enough of the security of the back cut area.
In addition, the cut is still going strong. (About 5 months have passed)

My personal favorite is the forward vertical cut.
A total of five vertical cuts serve as markers for the middle finger, which provides an even better grip.

If you have only thrown Torpedo type lures, I recommend you to try it.
No more "unnecessary" snagging!

I borrowed a Solo owned by a friend of mine and gave it a try.
It feels as if the force of the throw is directly transmitted to the barrel, and it flies in a rather straight line.
Although the barrel is long, the coating indicates the grip position, so there is no confusion about grip and no worry about slipping out of the barrel.
Overall, the longer setting was more to my liking.

I use the Keita Ono model, which has been easy to handle for me as a 4-finger since the Exceed, but this time it's silica, black coated and laser engraved. I think it is pixel-in-pixel and looks rugged yet stylish. I use the pixel in the middle as a marker for the grip, and thanks to this I don't get lost in the grip. The weight felt in the palm of my hand is not too heavy and lets me fly with a bang. The setting is a standard flight on a fitted slim No. 5. I am now flying it like a paper airplane and letting the wind carry me along.
The package includes a shaft, a flight, and a set of tips, so you can start playing right away. The packaging is really elaborate and cool too.
The four stars are because I was throwing it around and thought it could be an Exceed. The Exceed is cheaper, so...
But that's why the coating and the packaging is so cool!

I have test pitched it a few times at the store.
I usually use a 20g rod, so I wondered if it would feel light. I thought it would feel light, but it didn't. I felt a solid weight when I threw it.
The silica-coated shark cut on the grip point followed my fingertips nicely without being too heavy.
I recommend it to those who want to fly in a straight line.

I have immediately test pitched it at the store.

Basically, there are no major changes from the previous model.
It is almost straight, but the gentle taper allows you to push it out lightly.
I hold it backward, and the backward cut felt like it was being sucked into my hand.

The cut and color are cool, and the silica coding is said to slow down the wear and tear of the cut, so it looks like it will last a long time in terms of both design and practical use.
