Unicorn Joe Cullen 22g Contender Darts Review

Subject: Unicorn Joe Cullen 22g Contender Darts Review Sat Nov 10, 2012 2:37 am

These are the new 2012 Joe Cullen Contender darts from Unicorn.

They were kindly donated by Puredarts.co.uk and can be bought from there site for £34.98 HERE

You can also win these in our Grand Slam Fantasy League Comp HERE

The darts come in a blister pack and are supplied with the Unicorn plastic Compact case, there is 8 plastic flight protectors and the darts are fitted with Gripper 2 shafts. Not quite sure what shape the flights are, they look a kind of cross between standard and kite shape, and they have the Joe Cullen signature on.

The barrels are 90% tungsten and as far as I'm aware golden ti-nitride but it does not say so on the pack.

As you can see from the pics the barrels have a micro grip all along the barrel with a ringed front section, I would say its more grippy at the front and a high level grip.

I weighed all barrels on my scales at 22.4g so cant get any closer matched than that really Very Happy

One last pic of the set up I used when I threw them:

The darts remind me very much of the Barney style barrel and I think they are a very nice looking dart. No idea how long the micro grip will last but as with all darts that have thin edges they will chip in time and possibly wear down just from the grip.

But these are a great dart and a nice classic barrel shape with a great grip!

ah I see, thought you were on about the scrolling text in my vid, that will be Larry I think who done that lol!

Well spotted, will change it now. Very Happy

thanks mate was tired when I did that

Hopefully there should be a set of these waiting for me when I get home today. I have wanted a set of these since they were released but was reluctant to pay the £35-£40 price-tag. anyway got some on eBay for £21. Can't wait to have a chuck!!
