These are the Bulls NL Dirk van Duijvenbode special editions purple titanium, Aubergenius darts. If you are not away Dirk is an Aubergine farmer, hence the connection with the purple 🙂
The darts have a similar style to the old Barney Triple B but these are more tapered, wider at front then a gentle gradual taper to the thinner rear. The darts have two section of main ring grip but the whole barrel is further machined on top of that with the Bulls Phantom grip or micro grip as its more commonly known.
The purple ti coating is on the front and middle with the rear being natural or plain tungsten.
I think its a dart that should work for most grip styles, its not excessively front heavy and the sweet spot seems to be just front of centre so guess it depends if you like this shape really.
For me though the grip was not as grippy as I was expecting, its around medium level but thought it would be a bit more than that. The middle section is less grippy as its just a flat micro grip there.
The purple on the barrels is not a strong purple and in some light can look more blue, but I think its the nature of such coatings, it seems to change a little depending on the strength and angle of light, but I think its still fitting in well with the Aubergine moniker 🙂
A well made dart though and only thing I can nit pick was the coating was just ever so slightly patchy in places but you need to look close to see.
I think it will be a pretty good all round dart but may be people who are just front of centre and centre grippers will get the best from it.
