These suit fans of Littler’s World Championship run who want a 23g, 90% tungsten barrel with a firm, textured grip and a full kit in one box. One buyer who moved across from the G1 found the change small, which makes it an easy step for anyone already on a 23g.
If you want a different weight, the standard Luke Littler G1 comes in 22g, 23g and 24g. If you want a hexagonal grip rated 4 out of 5 by Target, look at the Luke Littler Fallout, and the Luke Littler Edge is the 95% tungsten collector’s version. Our guide to what darts Luke Littler uses covers his full setup.
What Owners Say
Buyers rate these 4.7 out of 5 across 290 ratings on a major online marketplace, so the score is independent of the manufacturer. Only a small share of those ratings come with written comments, which is why the detail below is thinner than the headline figure.
Grip is the one trait that comes up again and again in the written reviews. Balance and weight get a mention too, and none of the written comments criticises the barrel itself. Most of the rest is about the box, the finish and delivery, which says little about how the darts throw.
The other written comments are short and say the same thing in fewer words, describing the darts as well balanced with great grip, or simply “grippy”.
What owners consistently praise
- Grip: several buyers call it grippy or good
- Balance and weight: one owner barely noticed dropping from a 24g set
- Match weighed to +/-0.05g with a lifetime guarantee on the barrel, according to Target
Common criticisms
- Only one weight is offered, 23g
- Priced in the same Premium band as the standard G1
- Few written reviews, with little on how the barrel wears over months
The Grip: What to Expect
Target describes Pixel Grip as small, intricate cuts engineered through an advanced machining process, on a straight barrel, and says it optimises finger grip. Buyers who mention it are positive. Four of the written reviews bring up grip, and the words they use are grippy, good, great and, from the owner stepping down from a 24g G1, slightly more than before.
Target says the barrel is built on the Generation 1 profile. If you like the way the standard G1 sits in the fingers and want a touch more texture, that owner’s comparison points the right way. If you prefer a smoother hold, keep it in mind.
What’s in the Box
Target describes the set as 14 pieces:
- 3 x 90% tungsten Luke Littler World Champion barrels
- 3 x gold Swiss SLK points, 35mm
- 3 x gold Swiss SLK points, 42mm
- 3 x K-Flex No.6 World Championship Edition flight and shaft units
- 1 x Swiss Point tool
- 1 x Luke Littler World Champion keyring
- 1 month DartCounter subscription
The flights, shafts and points are all replaceable parts, so the barrel is the thing to judge.
The Consensus
Owners rate this set highly, at 4.7 out of 5 across 290 ratings, and the written comments keep coming back to grip, balance and weight. Nobody quoted here has a complaint about the barrel. The limits are the single 23g option, a price that matches the standard G1 at RRP, and a small pool of detailed reviews that says little yet about long-term wear.
How we compile this page
We don’t throw every dart ourselves. Instead we gather the manufacturer’s published specifications and weigh up the reception from buyers and independent reviewers, then flag where they disagree so you can make up your own mind. Where a headline rating comes from manufacturer-hosted reviews, we say so, because those tend to skew positive.
