Max took a nostalgic look at the Harrows V-Wing Anniversary Edition darts, revisiting a barrel shape he used when he first got back into league play. This special 50th Anniversary run brings the classic 2004 V-Wing back with a tougher gold titanium coating, updated Supergrip Carbon shafts, and Anniversary flights. On test, he focused on how that famous V-shaped rear flare feels as a push point, how consistent the ring grip is along the barrel, and whether the modernised finish changes the way they fly compared to the originals.
In hand, the V-Wing Anniversary is all about that curved, scalloped profile and fine, even ring grip. A short gold-coated point runs into a medium taper and then a long section of precision ring cuts that continues almost the full barrel, widening out into the distinctive V-Wing rear flare before tapering back into the shaft. The rings are narrow, the grooves deep, so the fingers sink in without feeling “stuck”, and the V-shaped back gives a really obvious push point for mid and rear grippers. Paired with Midi Supergrip Carbon shafts and 100-micron Anniversary flights, the setup feels balanced, controlled, and very much like the classic V-Wing – just sharper-looking and a touch grippier out of the box.
On the board, Max found them flying straight with a really repeatable release. That V-Wing flare supports the thumb nicely, and because the ring grip runs almost the full usable length, it doesn’t really matter whether you favour front, mid, or rear – you get the same texture wherever you land. The 90% tungsten construction keeps the barrels relatively slim even in the heavier weights, so grouping in trebles feels natural, and the gold Ti coating holds its sheen while offering a bit of extra durability against wear.
In short, the Harrows V-Wing Anniversary Edition darts are a modernised revival of a cult classic: a slim 90% tungsten V-shaped barrel with a clean, consistent ring grip, a natural rear push point, and a classy gold titanium finish – ideal if you want a nostalgic profile that still feels absolutely match-ready today.
