I own a set of these and oddly enough last night I threw them for the first time in months. I've thought of stripping the paint off of them but was concerned how it would effect the grip, which I love. Was happy today see this review and my question answered 🙂 I couldn't agree more this is a great set of darts for almost any players and available a great price too.
I definitely agree about switching up stems and flights. I recently switched to l style stems and flights and some darts that I was using before that were going in all directions now fly straight. I also switched up the length from short to intermediate which made a big difference.
MAN! Totally on point with the flights. I've gone through a few different barrels (thanks to you lol) and playing around with what works for me. But once I started moving around shafts/flights alongside the barrel, it's made the dart a whole different set up. Keep em coming.
Great video today. Very interesting backstory on these darts. I'm starting to finally get a handle on those one80 bavaria ultra darts that you reviewed a few months ago. Up Ireland 🇮🇪
I got back into darts when this video came out and went with your decision to buy these. I’m glad I went with your advice and really enjoy throwing them and advice you share in your videos.
I think I have a set of the Gen 2’s. This dart is one of those darts that simply works very well for me. I do prefer to use short stems and pear flights rather than standard flights. My setup helps the dart go into the board very flat. I agree that everybody should have a set of these in their collection.
Got a set a week ago,took a bit of getting used to the skinny barrels but I'm throwing some solid arrows now, very happy with them 👍🏻 cheers brother ✌🏻
Michael drew those extra lines in because he thought it looked cool. Kidding, but would be hilarious if true, I mean he was 17 so who knows. Thanks for the review! Get well soon!
Great video! I'm surprised nobody has asked mvg what he was using. He's getting back to his best but maybe after moving to winmau that caused a dip in form for him
I know a guy who asked MvG which darts he got from his dad (he played them for 15 years) and he said they were old winmau barbarians. Now he's playing with the winmau authentic
As a front-mid gripper i grip the dart just at the smooth part making it incredibly hard to throw for me when under high pressure and sweaty hands, really unfortunate as i absolutely love them!
Definitely a classic dart that will work well for many. Not enough there for my rear grip but I'd still love to have a Van Gerwen set of darts in my collection and these are probably more affordable than Winmau. Great review!
Great video. Tried these McKicks you are reviewing, didn't get on with them. Conversely tried the Mvg Exacts and didn't think I would throw them that good but to my surprise I had good success with them, go figure. Cheers
@@WorldwideDarts I have no idea really, used the same size stems with a No.6 regular flight, possibly a little more forward grip with the Exacts'. Was probably a year between using the two different sets.
Are these thicker than the mvg exact darts? I just don’t trust the dimensions they advertise on their site at all. Good video bro! - looking for a dart thats slightly thicker than the mvg exact but same grip and length
fyi, that "tray" is actually a compact darts case. If you fold it you'll see that it snaps close. So there you go. Not a "tray" but an old school plastic darts case.
When a board is brand new I rotate it the most. I want it to break in evenly. So depending on how much I play I'll rotate once a week minimum. If I'm practicing a lot I'll rotate a couple times a week. The main goal is to keep ALL segments looking the same for the entire life of the board. If one segment looks worse than another... you're not rotating enough
Could you please do a review on red dragon javelin darts I am considering buying them and they are a cheap set of good darts would love a review all the way from Ireland 🇮🇪
I just bought these but the points are far too long for the way I grip my darts. I'm sure every other set of darts iv bought the points were way shorter.
Hello guys, i want to buy a darts like mvg's for my freind. What are u guys recommend? These, or the exast or something else? Thanks in advance. He likes the lenght over 50mm thats a major thing.
I'm pretty sure he used the new Winmau ones for a while and didn't play to well and is now back using whatever these darts are. I know he stated he'd carry on using the new ones etc but to me the ones he's throwing at present are his old ones.
He's not using the old ones. If you have a watch of that incredible leg in the final last week: ruclips.net/video/AcL6bRdbO-4/видео.html, you can quite clearly see the Winmau logo at the rear of the barrel. I've also seen pictures on Twitter of a match-used set given to a fan, and they looked just like the Winmau Exacts with the coating worn away. Just after I saw those pictures, he starting playing with a new set and they definitely looked like the Exacts.
i am searching for the gen1 for so long now its frustrating. I threw them once and they felt perfect but it was from a random guy at a tournament. Anyone has an idea where i can get my hands on a McKicks Mighty Grip Gen1?
It’s funny that they have the name “Mighty Grip” 😂 and the grip is only average. I think it is important that you mention that the barrels may be great for you, but the shafts and flights may not work with your throw. With this being said, what are the longest shafts that you know of?
I've been known to give away gift certificates for first here on this channel. Just the other day I gave away £10 Darts Corner vouchers for first through 10th 😁
Yeah, I bought some of these about 2014, and threw very nicely with them. About 2016 McKicks changed the shape of the nose... Wonder why 🙄 MvG will never be able to state that he uses them, due sponsorship/contracts etc. Interestingly, the Winmau version look absolutely nothing like what's he's been throwing for all these years.

Still one of my favourite sets I bought and back then they where 40 euro. Good review as always from a amazing dart set.

Cheers! It's a GREAT set of darts! Enjoy 👍🏻
The old reliables I know you’ve had these for ages and for a reason there a great set of darts for every player
I was surprised at how different these new ones are compared to my Gen 1's

What a boom! Superb
Only just started and know it’s gonna be a banger
u got the best video ideas mate u are the best
Thanks Jorn! 👍🏻
I got them last week. 25g. Awesome darts👌 especially with the paint stripped. Which comes off with ease
Great video again thank you! 🙏 That bullseye for 90 was a beauty🎯
Thanks Boris
I think your right with them being longer they feel lighter.
Saved the best finish for last!!
Hope you feel better soon mate
Great stuff WWD 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Love all your videos very informative
Thanks 👍🏻
Great darts, I didn’t realise there were so many versions so I’ll have to root out my set to see which I have LOL
Looks almost identical. I have the MvG versions of these that I have repainted and rebuffed a few times lol
Got a set a week ago,took a bit of getting used to the skinny barrels but I'm throwing some solid arrows now, very happy with them 👍🏻 cheers brother ✌🏻
Great vid!!! I have XQMAX 23g, added MvG short alu stems and flights, very nice. Think I may need some extra grip at the back tho...
Thanks for all the reviews! They have been a lot of help! Where did you get the dart holder on the wall from? Thanks in advance!
That is from www.dartcraft.co.uk/
An oldie but a goody set of darts
Michael drew those extra lines in because he thought it looked cool. Kidding, but would be hilarious if true, I mean he was 17 so who knows. Thanks for the review! Get well soon!
You know what’s really funny? The thought the same thing! Maybe, just maybe, you’re right.

I had a set of the 21 gram McKicks Mighty Grip Premium Whites. It had a spread of 0.8 grams between the lightest and heaviest barrel.
That's not terrible. As long as they're within 1/10th of a gram it's a pass 👍🏻
@@WorldwideDarts 8/10 of a gram is 8 times greater than your "pass" criteria!
@@Matersoup Oops. I read that wrong. Yeah, that's no good
As a front-mid gripper i grip the dart just at the smooth part making it incredibly hard to throw for me when under high pressure and sweaty hands, really unfortunate as i absolutely love them!
Definitely a classic dart that will work well for many. Not enough there for my rear grip but I'd still love to have a Van Gerwen set of darts in my collection and these are probably more affordable than Winmau. Great review!
Would you recommend stripping the paint on them? Would it affect the grip much? I think id prefer them that way and theyd look nicer
Yes, highly recommend a paint removal. I did it to my set. It doesn't do much to the grip at all.
@@WorldwideDarts Thank you WWD
Strange how there's no reviews out there on the McKicks premium black darts! They look a nice darts 🎯
Just bought the MvG Exact darts, hope they will suit me well. The grip is similar to these, the coating looks fantastic!
Great video. Tried these McKicks you are reviewing, didn't get on with them. Conversely tried the Mvg Exacts and didn't think I would throw them that good but to my surprise I had good success with them, go figure. Cheers
Strange. What do you think made the difference? The darts are just about identical aren't they?
@@WorldwideDarts I have no idea really, used the same size stems with a No.6 regular flight, possibly a little more forward grip with the Exacts'. Was probably a year between using the two different sets.
When is the winer anounced im so hyped
🎉
Of all the MVG darts, I like the cheap XQMax World Champion Originals best. Most affordable version now at about $30.
Are these thicker than the mvg exact darts? I just don’t trust the dimensions they advertise on their site at all. Good video bro! - looking for a dart thats slightly thicker than the mvg exact but same grip and length
I'm using the MVG Exact with Condor Axe...23 grams
.new to me I usually throw 21 grams. Still testing
I wish I had your editing skills man
I thought they weren't all that great. I keep it simple
Winmau Sabotage, also razor grip, but more subtle!
Hi WWD I keep seeing the two sets mentioned, Premium whites and mighty grips, are they the same dart?
Yes they are. Hey, don't miss the video in the morning. It's an MvG type dart. Editing it now 👍🏻
@@WorldwideDarts can't wait
I have a set of the XQMAX in 26g. Way too heavy for me these days but I agree, I would recommend his darts to anyone
fyi, that "tray" is actually a compact darts case. If you fold it you'll see that it snaps close. So there you go. Not a "tray" but an old school plastic darts case.
Świetna recenzja. Czy jest różnica w rzucie pomiędzy lotka 48mm a ta w filmie która ma 53mm .
WWD how often do you rotate your board? how many throws do you think a board should take before rotating it?
When a board is brand new I rotate it the most. I want it to break in evenly. So depending on how much I play I'll rotate once a week minimum. If I'm practicing a lot I'll rotate a couple times a week. The main goal is to keep ALL segments looking the same for the entire life of the board. If one segment looks worse than another... you're not rotating enough
@@WorldwideDarts Can you make a video showing how to rotate the board? I have a Blade6 dual core as well. Love it. First "real"
board
Simple and Good Darts I like this Darts
Good vid
If you choose between mck mighty and xq max WC, which one is closer to mvg in terms of feel, grip and balance?
Great video! Where can I purchase these darts? I have been looking everywhere and they've been sold out. I live in Canada. Thanks!
Dartshopper has them but they cost a small fortune for some reason. Best spot is Darts Corner whenever they get them back in stock
@@WorldwideDarts the price discrepancy had me confused. I guess I'll wait till they are back in stock at darts corner. Thank you!
I bought the 21g version of these about a year ago and idk what it is but whatever setup I put on them I just couldn't get on with them :(
Could you please do a review on red dragon javelin darts I am considering buying them and they are a cheap set of good darts would love a review all the way from Ireland 🇮🇪
Already reviewed them ages ago
@@WorldwideDarts ohhh sorry I didn’t see it thank you and sorry again 🤣 I will take a look now
You have mentioned Master darts a couple of times, I can not find them. There they still produced?
Weird story with them but they changed their name into XQ Max. But Master Darts was Michael's OG sponsor back in the day.
@@WorldwideDarts cool, thanks!

I’m waiting on the wimping grips. There’s a market there for Gen-Z
Are the gen 1 mckicks still for sale? I cant find them anywhere.
Not unless you find them used on eBay. I'd come off mine for the right price 😁
I'm pretty sure he used the new Winmau ones for a while and didn't play to well and is now back using whatever these darts are. I know he stated he'd carry on using the new ones etc but to me the ones he's throwing at present are his old ones.

What length/size condors are you using?
A medium standard size
Defo gonna strip paint of these too slippy for me lol
That's the first thing I did to mine after the review 👍🏻
@@WorldwideDarts how much of a difference does it make?
@@scully8899 Not a huge difference but it's noticeable for sure
@@WorldwideDarts ok thanks 👍
i am searching for the gen1 for so long now its frustrating.
I threw them once and they felt perfect but it was from a random guy at a tournament.
Anyone has an idea where i can get my hands on a McKicks Mighty Grip Gen1?
I could entertain an offer
@@WorldwideDarts I would really appreciate that. What do you have in mind?
It’s funny that they have the name “Mighty Grip” 😂 and the grip is only average. I think it is important that you mention that the barrels may be great for you, but the shafts and flights may not work with your throw. With this being said, what are the longest shafts that you know of?
Luke Humphries plays with the longest shafts in the PDC. I have no idea where he gets them but I think they're around 60mm
RD just came out with the Humphries 65mm nylon stems.
@@WorldwideDarts Thank you!
Didn't he use the XQMax ones?
No. He never used XQ Max darts. He was using his old beat up darts long before signing with them
How can 80 not be tops tops? Oh wait, you keep that only for de sousa darts
As long as it's not 16s 😁
@@WorldwideDarts never, always aim for the 20
😃Now u are using bigger flights, years back u use small flights
Love me some Condors
