Winmau Firestorm Steel Tip Darts vs Red Dragon Amberjack 90% Steel Tip Darts

Both are 90% tungsten steel tip darts with 50.8 mm barrels and 7.2 mm max width, so they are closer than the branding suggests. The Firestorm is the more aggressive dart: full-length milled grooves rated 5 for grip, a parallel barrel and a center balance that suits players who like to feel the barrel in every finger. The Amberjack 24g uses ringed and knurled grip on a tapered nose, which is more forgiving for beginners and players with a lighter, softer throw. Owners rate the Firestorm very highly, and Red Dragon's Amberjack line is a long-standing favorite for value and durability.

  • Choose the Winmau Firestorm if you want maximum grip along the whole barrel and a center-balanced, parallel dart for a firm, consistent throw.
  • Choose the Red Dragon Amberjack if you want a tapered, ringed-and-knurled barrel that is easier to release and suits newer players or a softer grip.

Questions and answers

Which is better for a beginner?
The Amberjack. Its ringed and knurled grip and tapered nose are more forgiving on release, while the Firestorm's aggressive full-length grooves reward an already consistent throw.
Which has more grip?
The Firestorm. Winmau rates it 5 out of 5 for grip with milled grooves along the full barrel. The Amberjack's ringed and knurled pattern is milder.
Which lasts longer?
Both are 90% tungsten, so the barrels wear similarly. The Firestorm's milled grooves keep their bite longer than knurling, which tends to smooth out with heavy use.
Is the Firestorm worth stepping up to?
If you already throw steadily and want more finger feedback, yes. If you are still developing your release, the Amberjack is the easier dart to learn on.
Do they weigh the same?
No. The Firestorm comes in several weights, including 21g to 28g, while this Amberjack is 24g. Both barrels measure 50.8 mm long and 7.2 mm at their widest.
Which suits a rear gripper?
The Firestorm, because its grip runs the full length of the barrel. The Amberjack's tapered nose leaves less grip at the back.
