Had a few people asking me to review some MVG darts so I got these off ebay recently, as you can see they are the Masterdarts branded version. They cost me £24.99 which is £50 cheaper than the set I had a few years ago which you could only buy from Holland and before he had won any major titles, as you can see on the pic on the box this is even before he won his first world Guests cannot see images in the messages.

The darts are supplied in a clam shell style packaging with a plastic case, point protector, medium nylon stems and MVG signature flights.

The darts have a series of thin and slightly wider rings with quite deep grooves, the grip is not aggressive but probably a high medium bordering on to a high level grip.

WEIGHT:
Hmmm, this was a very poor match as you can see below, all 3 barrels quite different and the difference between lightest and heaviest was 7.9 tenths of a gram, nearly a whole gram different!

CONCLUSION:
Apart from the poor matching of the weigh I think these are nice looking darts with the gold coating, it makes them an attractive looking set and adds a little to the grip too.
They seem to be a nice dart to throw and the grip works well for placement unless your unlucky to be on the smooth sections. I think its got a nice level of grip too, I can feel the edges of the rings and its was secure without been too grippy.
The darts should be ok for most styles and they seemed to be ok with my front grip but I think I may prefer a slightly weightier model.
They were a well behaved dart through the air and seemed stable enough but tended to be a bit flat flying but not so much that they did not work against my slightly loopy throw.
I cant remember how I got on with the last MVG's I had, to be honest I don't remember throwing them really, but these a nicer than I was expecting and think I could grow to like these after playing more with them.
