Elysian 9 Darts Range by Target - Product Review
|
We are now on Generation 9 of Elysian darts and as usual, it’s limited to 200 steel tip sets and 200 soft tip sets only worldwide. This year the Target Elysian 9 is yet another special and limited showcase of the Elysian series.
TARGET ELYSIAN 9 CONCEPT
Every year Target has a completely new concept for their Elysian darts. Last year was focused on the relationship of opposing forces – calm vs. chaos, light vs. dark, new vs. old, etc.
Speed is this year's Target Elysian 9 theme, modeled after the intricate physics of hypersonic travel. We're obsessed with the idea of endless possibilities and this dart perfectly represents that curiosity.
CUTS - HIGH PRECISION MILLING
Something that immediately caught my eyes was the dynamic design of the Target Elysian 9. There are warped lines and patterns milled across the front of the barrel that give the dart an illusion of motion.
The CNC milling at the back is coated in polychromatic PVD that shifts colors as the dart moves under any lighting. It's really cool to see all the ways that Target incorporated speed as a theme into the Elysian 9!
GRIP INTENSITY 4/5
We rate the overall grip intensity of the Target Elysian 9 darts a 4 out of 5.
STEEL SCULPTURE DART STAND
As with all collector's items, you'll want to keep them in a nice, fancy display that will preserve the item's integrity. Target Elysian 9 darts actually come with their own beautiful sculpture dart stand so you can display them in your own personal collection.
Below the acrylic stand piece is a metal base that displays your unique set identifier showing you what number out of 200 sets you purchased.
95% TUNGSTEN BARREL
Each individual barrel of the Target Elysian 9 darts range is formed from a 95% tungsten barrel and undergoes 55 minutes of high precision CNC milling.
So that’s almost 3 hours just on the machine to create an entire set. That doesn’t include coating, assembly or packaging. The amount of effort going into the Elysian 9 is absolutely massive.

TARGET ELYSIAN 9 STEEL TIP & SOFT TIP
SWISS POINT - STEEL TIP MODELS
This is the first Elysian ever that has been fitted with Swiss Point (steel tip only). In particular, the steel tip version of the Target Elysian 9 comes fitted with the new Swiss Point Nano.
For the first time ever, Target also decided to include milling on the Elysian steel tip points. The Elysian 9's dynamic design extends onto the Swiss Points and includes a warped, asymmetric line pattern that twists around the base of the steel tip.
This is unique to the Target Elysian 9 only – no other steel tips feature any sort of milling at all, making this set truly one of a kind!
Thanks to the Swiss Point Key, you can change the point length, style, and color of the Target Elysian 9 range in seconds.
Every Elysian 9 model comes with a Premium Swiss Key made from beautifully engineered zinc alloy material with an attached key ring so you're never without it!

PIXELS TIPS - SOFT TIP MODEL 10
The soft tip version of the Target Elysian 9 comes with the usual black pixel soft tip points.
Only three Pixel Tips are included in the soft tip version of the Elysian 9, but you can buy more separately for all your dart throwing needs.

TARGET ELYSIAN 9 - FINAL THOUGHTS
When you really try to comprehend the full process of manufacturing Elysian darts, the idea is that it should seem almost impossible to pull off. In essence, it is a design that pushes the boundaries of Target’s machines, their designers and marketers.
