Is the Rippah good for a front gripper?

Yes. The pillar rings and deep spaces sit at the front of the barrel, and the torpedo shape is front weighted, so the push point is where a front gripper holds it.

How grippy is it compared with other Shot darts?

Shot rates the barrel 6/5 on its own grip scale and calls it the grippiest dart it makes. That is more traction than most ringed or knurled barrels.

What comes in the set?

Three 23g tungsten barrels, one set of small standard Gnarly Rippah flights, one set of in-between Koi Carbon shafts with spring rings, and 35mm steel tip points.

Will the grip suit a rear gripper?

The tail has rings and V cuts, so there is grip at the back, but the barrel is front weighted. Rear grippers who prefer a neutral or rear-balanced dart may find it pulls forward.

What thread do the barrels use?

They use a standard 2BA thread, so most aftermarket shafts fit.

Does the black titanium coating wear off?

Coating on grip points can fade with heavy use, and the sharp edges of the rings and V cuts soften over time. That is normal for a high-traction barrel.

Our take on the Shot Gnarly Rippah Steel Tip Dart Set

The Shot Gnarly Rippah is a 90% tungsten steel tip dart built around grip. The barrel carries pillar rings with deep finger spaces up front and a fusion of rings and V cuts at the tail, finished in black titanium. At 23 grams in a 48mm torpedo barrel with front balance, it suits throwers who want a firm push point and a dart that bites. Shot calls it its grippiest barrel yet, and the 6/5 grip rating puts it above most rivals aimed at soft-handed players.
