Paired with tough Tao Carbon Shafts and agile Pro Player Flights, whatever your playing style is, you’ll be unbeatable with the Pro Series dart ranges.
 

This Pro Dart Series soft tip barrel nose is etched with five micro-cuts ensuring a no-slip area during play, complemented by a set of dimple cuts, which act as a useful reference point on the dart. Followed by the “Great White” Shark Fin Grip. This section of the dart has a good grip for a frontal push, whether it comes off your middle or index finger. The precision axial milling enhances the traditional shark fin grip, offering an ideal push point. A smooth scallop break follows, this again is a possible reference point that sits between the two major grip zones of the barrel. A ringed Shark Fin grip on the rear of the dart provides the player with an easy, no “snag” release. The dimple cuts at the very back complete the barrel and again, act as a possible reference point.

These darts were designed to last and built to win by our team at Shot Darts, in conjunction with sponsored USA Pro Darts Player Chris White who says "The Shot Team's innovative design process was such a great experience. It allowed me to have hands-on input and test the ideas I had to improve the darts performance characteristics. I’m already using the dart, it’s improved my game, several people have commented on its killer looks and I can’t wait for others to get the chance to experience it!"

The ringed nose on these barrels features five vertical slots above, which serves both as a reference point and a tribute to Cody’s Whanau.  This is followed by cinder grip in a traditional Maori design. A large section of micro ring grip follows this leads to a flat area with the Code Star design. Cody says “I love these darts, the motif on them has meaning and they provide an extension to my game. I feel like they are like a part of me. They are slimline and glide through the air so easily”.

This Pro Dart Series soft tip barrel features a no-slip micro ringed cut nose which provides a reference point before moving on to a smooth flat area which is where Joe Chaney grips the barrel. Following on from here is the Chainsaw grip which features steep shark fins that alter in size to enhance the contact point on the edges and resemble the teeth of a chainsaw. This grip is axially cut along the side to maximize the feel and finished with a smooth area that connects the barrel to the shaft. Suits players that prefer a mid-level back gripped dart.  These darts were designed to last and built to win by our team at Shot Darts, in conjunction with sponsored USA Pro Darts Player Joe Chaney.

Nickname: Dragon - My nickname came about when I first travelled to Asia early in my dart career with best friends David, Scotty and fellow Shot Pro Player Chris White. The Dragon represents power, wisdom, strength, good fortune and hidden knowledge. Through darts, I was able to find strength in my personal life during a difficult time in my early years; those times turned into good fortune with the birth of my first son Thomas. Since then, the name stuck with me, and the Dragon was born.

Hometown: Clayton, California

When it all started: I started playing darts while I was in the U.S. Army and stationed at Ft. Lewis Washington. It was December 1993, was a pretty difficult time in my life, as I was only 21 years old and my first wife and still good friend and mother to my firstborn, was in the hospital after going into cardiac arrest from Meningococcal Meningitis. I had gone out at the request of my father/brother in-law, dragging me away from the hospital after being there for three solid days. They took me out to have a beer at Oldies Pub in Tacoma and play some pool. The bar had a dart tournament going on at the same time, so my brother in-law, who was tired of me beating him in pool LOL, said we should play some darts. They just happened to need two more players for a full field, and we signed up. The rest is history. I won my first ever dart tournament after not even knowing how to play and a cool $80 in my pocket. I thought, “Hell, this is easy” and as a young enlisted soldier, every penny extra was welcomed! 

Twenty-six years later, I still enjoy the sport, the atmosphere and most of all, all the incredible friends I’ve had the fortune to meet around the world. Through darts, I was able to also share my love of the sport with others around the world, helping to promote youth events in Asia, USA and by being part of some fantastic charities and incredible causes to help our darts community. Together with other industry friends, we formed “IDART”, which stood for “International Disaster Relief Team”. IDART was created after the deadly tsunami struck Sendai Japan, where many of our fellow dart players were directly affected. We raised $15,000 through the efforts of many World-renowned players and radio personnel in a 24 hour period. After our efforts, I was able to fly to Yokohama Japan and present the donation to our fellow friends at one of the largest barrels sponsored joint event called “Barrels”.

Winning was always and still is exciting as my very first chance meeting back in 1993! But my biggest and most memorable contributions still come from helping our sport advance. It so happened that PUMA Darts sponsored the first-ever Shanghai International Sports Open in 2009. I was given the honour of representing PUMA Darts, along with fellow teammates Chris White and Warren Parry. This was the first time that the Chinese government, Beijing Sports Authority and Shanghai Sports Authority invited international dart professionals to participate in this inaugural event. Little did we know, our presence would be felt to this very day. We met with the local youth sports program, which was in one elementary school at the time. We provided lessons, advice and suggestions in hopes to help build the sport in China. Today, there are over 13 schools that have introduced Darts into their curriculum! We were able to meet the Chinese Olympic Committee members, introduce darts at a higher level of competition and build our youth players all in one trip. 

PUMA Darts were my first official professional sponsors in 2008. Peter McCormick had faith in me as a player and a representative of his brand. After a 10-year hiatus from the PUMA and now the Shot Darts family, it is such a pleasure to be able to “come back home” to where it all started for me as a professional. The past decade away has taught me a lot in the marketing and business world, from spearheading the insertion of DARTSLIVE systems into North America as the Chief Operating Officer to helping players get sponsorships from numerous companies. Peter and I kept our friendship even after I moved on from his team. Coming back means the world to me on a personal level and happy to be a brand representative once again!

This slim, pencil shaped straight dart barrel is designed for tighter grouping and limiting deflection. The smooth nose acts as an indicator for your finger to follow through to the “Circuit Grip” (patterned ring grip). This circuit grip features a thinner ring in the centre area of each block. A dimple cut sits on top of this and alternates position as the pattern revolves around and along the barrel. This provides multiple, consistent grip points along the length of the dart. A modest scallop at the tail creates a smooth shaft transition. These darts were designed to last and built to win by our team at Shot Darts, in conjunction with sponsored USA Pro Darts Player Robbie Phillips.

"My new darts have a consistent grip the whole length of the barrel that has made it easier to throw if it's dry or humid. Ultra-precise machining by Shot Darts means my darts have unmatched quality. And I love the smooth barrel nose because it helps me grab the dart the same every time. They are the best darts I have ever thrown and they inspire me to become the best player I can. Confidence in your equipment translates to confidence in your game and with these darts, the sky is the limit".
