【TRiNiDAD】PRO Gomez Type9 Yuki Yamada Model 2BA 's Japan Review

It is a heavyweight long straight that did not seem to be possible. The cut is also quite good, and you can shoot through the board vigorously just by swinging your arm on your finger.

However, I wonder if the tip and soft board can't keep up with the weight of the barrel. I use a Condor Tip Ultimate, and it is popped and broken with great frequency. I gave it minus 1 star for that. You have to be prepared for wear and tear on the parts when using this barrel. It may just be lack of skill...


As Yamada said, this barrel is very close to a hard barrel, and I think those who use PDC's 2BA barrels will be able to smoothly transition to the Gomez 9. It can also be backed out nicely (although it will still be played).

Anyway, I would like everyone to try this barrel at least once.

It is very easy to use and I like it.
However, the screw on the tip side seems a little strange. Maybe the shaft side as well.
I can install a Condor Tip Ultimate or Premium Rip Point, but it doesn't go in easily. It is quite heavy.
I could not install the Harrods Conversion Point Brass.
Other than that, I can highly recommend this barrel.

I had been using only a standard Torpedo around 40mm for a long time, but when I changed to Gome 9, the flight was not so good and I often got bounced off the board, but after a month has passed since I started using it, I found it a nice barrel that is easy to aim at.
I personally like the fact that the grip can be completed with just the barrel and the length makes it easy to visualize the trajectory of the ball.
The cut is also good and the barrel does not slip out of your hand, so once you get used to it, I think it is a very easy barrel to throw.

I used to use a straight barrel.
The barrel is longer and heavier than the barrel I used to use, but I don't feel that much discomfort, and now I feel that the length and weight are just right.
The cut is a little strong at first, but once you get used to it and can make it fly nicely, I think you can feel that you are improving. In fact, I was able to achieve my highest rating ever after switching to the Gomez 9.
It is a long and heavy straight barrel, so I think it is possible to improve my technique with this barrel, and I think it is possible to buy it and try to improve my level instead of thinking "I don't like it because it is long and heavy.
However, if you throw it a lot, the cut will be a little different compared to when you just bought it, so if you like a stronger cut, you may need to be a little careful.

The weight and length, which I have never handled before, will break your heart at first.
If you throw it properly, it will fly straight. If you don't throw it properly, it won't go in. That's the hard part.
However, once you practice and get used to it, it will fly on its own because of its weight. The straight barrel makes for good grouping, and the rate of 180s and blacks has increased considerably.
The downside is that even with a carbon shaft, it will break in no time.
The tip is also made with a lip point, but due to its weight, it hangs even if it sticks, and it is deformed and breaks frequently. If you don't throw it properly, it won't stick to the board and often falls off, and the barrel will be cut and damaged quickly.
The cut is so strong that it hurts my finger at first because it is too tight, but I felt that the cut in the front wears out quickly, probably due to stacking.

I would recommend this barrel if you can afford to replace it in a couple of months.

I like Yamada, so I bought it right away without worrying about the specs.
When I received the barrel, it was longer than I had imagined, but it fit in my hand surprisingly well and the strong cut was perfect for pushing the arrow out.
The straightened barrel simply improves grouping, and because of its weight, the arrow flies beautifully with little violence, as is often the case with long barrels.
However, tip pain is unavoidable.

I purchased the Gomez 9 this time because I wanted to change from a torpedo to a straight barrel. I used to use an 18g barrel, so I was worried about the 4.7g weight increase, but when I threw it, I was surprised to see that it flew well just by swinging my arm. I feel that the 22.7g weight is a great advantage.
After throwing the darts for about 2 hours, I was impressed by the clattering sound when stacking the darts and the pleasant sensation of the darts firmly hitting the board! I have fallen in love with darts all over again. And above all, it improves my grouping power! I can see that I am aiming well even if I don't hit my target because my grouping power is improved, which of course improves my technique and motivation!
It may take some time to get used to the straight barrel, but I enjoy throwing it so much that I don't mind losing a few throws. I am enjoying throwing this barrel so much that I don't mind losing a few throws.

I like the non-habitual grip of the straight barrel.
However, it does not have the ease of pushability that I have been relying on with the Tolbeat, and I find it difficult to transmit power.

However, it is a great feeling when you can make it fly well.

I have been throwing it for about a month.
I think it is a barrel with strong habits, so it is a type of barrel that is not a good fit for everyone. Even if your form and release point are stable and solid, the flight may be uneven until you get used to it.

However, because it is heavy, if you relax the release point, it will fly as you expect. Also, the longer length gives the impression that it is easier to group, but I felt that this could be both an advantage and a disadvantage.

The groove of the grip point cut is deep, so it feels thin, but the release is good and the cut is moderate.

It is a barrel for advanced players, but it is worth a try.

I purchased this barrel as I started throwing steel and transitioning from torpedo to straight.

I had a theory that "Straight barrels are all about the pull out! I had a theory that "Straight barrels are all about the pull out", so I decided to try a length of 55mm because I could not have enough room for grip with a length of ~47mm when I wanted to complete my grip in the barrel without putting my finger on the tip.

The cut is hard at first, but as you keep throwing it, you'll find yourself pulling it out more and more comfortably!
I like this barrel because I can say that it teaches me to have a form that is not too forceful.
It is fun to practice because it is easy to feel the missed shots.

However, the tip is damaged very quickly. I think that if you keep throwing it, the flying will become more beautiful and the frequency of damage will decrease, so I recommend that you keep throwing it for a while first.
When being played by the board, even a carbon shaft will break, so it is better to practice with nylon shafts, plastic shafts, or condors at first.
