I have tried a lot of Unicorn Darts and i have come to the conclusion that the best set of darts they have ever made are the Phil Taylor Purists Phase 2s they just seem to be spot on the weight and fly great.

Can not be said for there flights, stems , and sometimes boards also must add the barney phase 1 and 2s also a good dart.


let me know what you think

I really like the sigma pro 970 -21 & 23g. Like my Wades too but your right the purists are hard to beat. Their flights and stems are pretty poor but I've never had one of their boards.

hate straight barrel. I think unicorn really shines on their slightly curved darts. aerodynamics ftw

unicorn john lowe darts are the best.

Sigmas are nice

i may be well of the mark but it seems the extra effort went into the taylor . sigmas , and hamilton darts !!

The best unicorn darts are the ones that go were you think they should go and not were you throw them

The best darts unicorn have are these:

Anastasia Dobromyslova Golden WC
Taylor Purist
Sigma
And Barney WC.



But I think that Unicorn quality have deterred a bit..

Purist,Hammy's, Sigma, T-90's, Grippers.

Never had a set I liked

phase 5 rosso for me and the phase 2 & 3 purist grip and the John Lowe darts take some beating.

i much prefer unicorn over target every target dart i have tried is the same balance and has a smooth section 3/4th back for some reason.i have there punch and it has seized up when it is in a hot room 24/7 i have had the pro tour and it was terrible imo target are over priced.on the other hand i have had a few harrows stuff and for a company that is not meant to be the best has very good stuff.most dart company are charging way too much money imo

got to agree with eddie on target i am not a lover of there equipment it might sound strange but the balance in the darts just seems off to me!! but i like there flights and shirts

harrows , winmau , bulls make some superb darts imo

the poll says other wise

The 2 best sets of darts I have ever owned are my Beloved purists and my Carrera's

I still believe that the Purist are the best darts ever made I just wish they came with a tapered nose.

you said a mouth full there Kev. I would buy a set straight away. Target Sport Extremes same thing really. I want a slant nose period like me Rasta's look how beautiful they look.

agree with eddie theres something odd imo about target darts where as unicorn or datadart the balance feels great

Let's see now....I've owned:

Peter Manley - 22, 24, 26 grams
Barry Twomlow golden, 23 grams
Phil Taylor Purists 26 grams, Phase 5 and 6 - 26, 25 grams
Irina Armstrong - 23 grams
Paul Lim - 23 gram
John Lowe - 22 (silver and gold), 24 gram golden
James Wade - golden - 24 grams
Gripper II - 24 grams
Dum Dum - 25 grams

......and probably a few more that I can't remember I can say I hit a 180 in league play with the John Lowe's, so they would be my favorite. I always wanted to try the purists in a 24 gram though, maybe one day.

I won't compare the brand to any other as I don't think that was the intention of the original post and as I've only sampled a small portion of Unicorn's products, I can't say I am qualified to evaluate their products.

I guess the best Unicorn dart is the one that feels the best in your hand

Cheers!!!

last couple weeks been playing with james craven golden shark grip style dart. Is incredible for a straight dart, so if you like those id recommend that

I agree with Nucks " I guess the best Unicorn dart is the one that feels the best in your hand "

Not really noticed that myself, may depend on how you grip the darts.

I am becoming quite a fan of Shot/Puma darts too, and One80 darts are very good too.

yep i agree grip the One80 and shot darts are superb

i am not saying target make rubbish darts all i am saying is i have had extreme oshea and lewis and the all seem cut for the same design balance and a smooth bit.now carrera look the same again and chizzy.i also had 25 gram black storm darts same as phase 5 style and there not even close to be as good as phase 5 i had a better copy from mccoy.

Question for big gun getting a purist modified to have a tappered nose how much weight is reduced in the dart ??

Around a gram. I also had an extra 2 grooves put in at the back of the barrel that took it to just over the gram but depending on the length of the taper I would say 1g mine are now 23g.

nice one big gun

Gonna do a thread involving what I call a Quality control issue or manufacturing issue with Unicorn darts with pics. stay tune - Probably after the Worlds. And this will involved several of my sets of Unicorns!!!

can we have a "Whats wrong with Larrys Brain" thread too?

sure but I charge for that.

I have just written a lengthy email to Unicorn, Well Edward Lowy himself at his request regarding mine and another lad who follows me on Twitter regarding their Quality issues so I will let you know the outcome when I get it.
