Wondering about the Mark McFadden darts setup? Featuring products from Colonial Darts and L-Style, Mark McFadden has a wide arrangement of signature darts equipment including gear created in collaboration with his sponsors:
Colonial has recently introduced the new and improved Mark McFadden darts range — the Mark McFadden V2 Signature Barrel! The straight barrel shape is versatile for any player with its centered balance but especially suited for those with rougher hands who love aggressive cuts. To wrap up the Mark McFadden darts V2 design, the barrel is coated with a cool sleek black titanium nitride and re-machined to show off the natural tungsten.
Between the V1 and V2 barrels of the Mark McFadden darts, both share the same length. Where the V2's individuality shines is the redesigned barrel cuts. The Mark McFadden darts V2 feature a new middle band of super thin radial grooves that break up the rest of the offset axial grooves, providing even more grip than before. A stark contrast from the vertical axial cuts of V1. We've also increased the weight of the V2 version, originally a 21g barrel and now available in 22g.
Overall, we give the Mark McFadden darts V2 a 5 out of 5 for grip intensity. The wide spaced bands and offset axial grooves create a lot of surface area for your fingers to rest nicely without getting cut up by the harsh cuts. We know this barrel will be a major hit with lots of Americans out there!
Jen Mounts gives you an in-depth review of the Mark McFadden Darts Range V2 by Colonial. She compares the original V1 range and the new V2 range and elaborates on the overall design including cuts and grip intensity – plus some throwing action in the end.
