Daryl Gurney has been on the PDC tour since 2014 and picked up his nickname, “Superchin”, early in his career. His major titles include the 2017 World Grand Prix and the 2018 Players Championship Finals, and he reached world number three in 2019. His biggest recent result came in June 2025, when he partnered Josh Rock to win the World Cup of Darts for Northern Ireland, beating Wales 10-9 in a final that went to a deciding leg.
This Signature Edition is built to the barrel specification Winmau says Gurney used on that run.

Who They Suit
| If you... | Fit | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Like a light, slim dart | Partial | Lightest is 23g with a 6.5mm barrel |
| Want a thick, heavy barrel | Poor | Heaviest is 23g at up to 6.5mm |
| Want grip cuts along the whole barrel | Good | Round, square and dual grooves run the full length of the barrel |
| Want a very smooth grip | Partial | Medium grip, according to the manufacturer |
| Prefer a short barrel | Poor | Barrel length is 50.8mm |
| Want quick-swap points | Poor | Standard points rather than a quick-swap system |
| Are working to a tight budget | Poor | It sits in the High End price band |
This set suits players who want a 95% tungsten barrel at a slim, competition-standard profile, and who like buying into a specification tied to a real result rather than a generic release. The moderate grip rating should work for most holds, though it is worth confirming that against your own preference before committing to the price.
If you would rather buy into a longer-established signature line with a bigger body of reviews behind it, the Red Dragon Gerwyn Price Blue Originals has years of buyer feedback at a similar price point. For a cheaper way into the Winmau range without paying for a signature name, the Winmau Ton Machine offers an 80% tungsten barrel in the Value price band.
What Owners Say
This set has only just reached shelves, and the pool of owner feedback is still very small, too small yet to draw out a meaningful score or a consistent pattern. The handful of ratings visible on major retailers sit in the 4 to 4.5 out of 5 range, but with only a couple of reviews behind that figure it would be misleading to present it as a settled verdict.
What limited feedback does exist points to a balanced, comfortable throw and a grip that feels secure without being harsh, in line with Winmau’s own medium rating. Anyone buying now is getting in early on a signature line rather than one with years of proven reception behind it.
What early feedback points to
- 95% tungsten barrel built to a specification tied to a genuine title win, the 2025 World Cup of Darts
- Mid-level dual-groove grip that early buyers describe as secure without feeling aggressive
- Consistent 50.8mm, 6.5mm profile that suits players used to a slim parallel barrel
Things to weigh up
- Launched too recently for a reliable review base, so there is no proven long-term track record yet
- Only sold in one weight, 23g, so there is no lighter or heavier option if that does not suit your throw
- Sits at the upper end for a 95% tungsten set, close to flagship signature pricing from other brands
The Grip: What to Expect
Winmau’s own spec sheet rates the grip as medium, built from a mix of round, square and dual grooves running the full length of the barrel. That is a genuinely middle-of-the-road rating, more texture than a smooth barrel but nowhere near the aggressive end some signature darts reach.
Reading a manufacturer grip rating
A medium grip rating usually means the barrel is designed to suit the widest range of holds, front, middle or rear. It is a sensible default if you are buying a signature set without having thrown the exact barrel first, though players who rely on heavy texture to lock their fingers in place may still want a high-rated grip.
The Consensus
It is too early to call a consensus on this set. What feedback exists is positive and consistent with Winmau’s own spec, a balanced 23g barrel with a moderate grip that most players should get on with, but the sample is small enough that early impressions could shift as more owners get hold of a set.
The clearer selling point right now is the story behind the barrel: a specification tied to Gurney and Josh Rock’s World Cup of Darts win for Northern Ireland in 2025. Buyers who want proven, well-reviewed darts rather than a new release might prefer to wait for a larger body of feedback to build up first.
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.
