Unicorn keeps its own history in production. Alongside the current ranges sits a living archive — the barrels world champions actually threw, reissued as Phase editions, so you can buy the dart that won the title rather than a tribute to it.

The Phase editions

Phase releases are numbered reissues of a champion's playing dart. John Lowe's run spans Phase 2 through Phase 4; Jelle Klaasen's World Champion Phase 2 goes back to his 2006 title; Gary Anderson's Phase 3 and Phase 6 cover his own era. Jeffrey de Zwaan's Phase 3 Maestro and Henry Coates' Phase 2 Global extend the system to current players. If you care about darts history, this is the range to browse.

Wraith — the current flagship

At the other end of the catalogue, Wraith is the modern signature platform, running across James Wade, Ross Smith, Callan Rydz and Cameron Menzies. See what has landed most recently in new Unicorn releases.

Contender — how Unicorn brings players through

Unicorn also runs Contender, a programme for emerging players that gives them a signature barrel early in their career. Adam Paxton's Contender set is one to watch.

Boards, flights and the rest of the kit

The Eclipse board family runs from the Striker up to the Eclipse Ultra 2.0, with an HD Trainer for practice — see Unicorn dartboards. Then Big Wing and Ultrafly flights, Volute Shark Fin points, Vanguard and Ultra cases plus Unilock fixings, and playing shirts. The full barrel range sits in Unicorn darts, running from 80% to 90% tungsten across more than 80 sets.

The wider roster

Beyond the names above: Seigo Asada, Kyle Manton, Ryan Hogarth and Darren Beveridge.

Frequently Asked Questions

▶ What does the Phase number mean?

It identifies which generation of that player's barrel the set reproduces. A Phase 2 and a Phase 4 from the same player are different darts from different points in their career, not different finishes of one dart.

▶ Are Phase editions actually the original spec?

They are reissues of the original designs rather than surviving old stock. Check the individual listing for the exact weight and tungsten content of the set you are looking at.

▶ What is Unilock?

Unicorn's dartboard mounting system, which fixes the board to the wall and lets you rotate it without unmounting the whole thing.

▶ What is the difference between Big Wing and Ultrafly?

They are different flight ranges rather than different shapes — Ultrafly is the moulded performance line, Big Wing the larger-surface design. Both come in multiple shapes, so pick on shape first and range second.
