Simon Whitlock, the Australian darts legend and long-time Winmau player, celebrates his newest darts edition – the Simon Whitlock Atomised Darts Range – with Winmau for the 2024 launch. This new edition of Whitlock darts combines the best qualities of previous editions and new exciting design choices unique to the Atomised range!
Simon Whitlock'S LEGACY
Simon “The Wizard” Whitlock, a proud Aussie, is well known as the greatest and most influential Australian darts player of all time. Thanks to Simon's talent and accolades, the sport of darts was revitalized in Australia and Oceania.
With his partner Damon Heta, Whitlock claimed victory at the 2022 World Cup of Darts for Australia – his most legendary title to date. It's no wonder Winmau has favored the Australian Wizard with a new edition of signature darts.
Simon Whitlock Atomised VIDEO REVIEW
Jen Mounts gives you an in-depth review of the Simon Whitlock Atomised Darts Range by Winmau. She compares the steel tip and soft tip versions and elaborates on the overall design including cuts, coating and grip intensity – plus some throwing action in the end.
Let’s go over each aspect one by one:
CUTS & COATING
Winmau strayed from the typical shiny chrome aesthetic of the Whitlock darts predecessors and opted for a cooler gray matte “atomised” texture for the Simon Whitlock Atomised darts barrel. This of course gives the darts a unique feel in your hands.
Starting in the rear past the smooth section we see 2 indented C-channel radial bands, then a decorative section tapering up to the middle smooth band. In the front half, we finish off with the same decorative section of ring cuts offset by a cool triangular wavy pattern throughout. Finally, there are two more C-channel radial bands and a smooth section.
GRIP INTENSITY 2/5
Overall, we rate the entire Simon Whitlock Atomised darts range with a grip intensity of a 2 out of 5. The textured coating all throughout the barrel provides a unique feel and look that isn't too aggressive nor too soft in your hands.
The soft tip version has more of a smooth transition to its taper on either side almost meeting the same height as the center band, whereas the steel tip version keeps a skinnier diameter on either side of the band allowing it to stick it more like a ledge on either side. Therefore, the steel tip dart is a far more intense reference point for middle grippers.
90% TUNGSTEN BARREL
Every Atomised darts barrel is made from 90% tungsten metal makeup. This is a common theme amongst many other top Winmau player darts as the higher percentage of tungsten gives the barrel a more dense and slimmer feel without compromising weight and durability.
WEIGHT & PURCHASE OPTIONS
The Simon Whitlock Atomised darts steel tip and soft tip models mostly differ in overall length, the edges of the center band, and how intense the front section tapers into the point. While the soft tip dart resembles more of a torpedo shape, the steel tip version has more of a tapered shape as its front diameter is much skinnier than the soft tip version.

Atomised EDITION SHAFT
Choosing the Vecta shafts was a perfect complement to the Simon Whitlock Atomised darts. Each shaft is made with high-impact polycarbonate material with an alloy tip, ensuring these shafts are high performing.
The Atomised edition shafts provide a bright contrast to the barrel's monochromatic grey design with a neon lime green color and a transparent material that allows you to peek into its construction.
