Michael Smith Series II: Darts Built for a World Champion

Pressure is where a barrel proves itself. The Michael Smith Series II dart set was engineered to deliver under exactly that kind of pressure, refined through the throw of a player who’s felt it on the biggest stages in the sport. Every taper, every ring, every grip zone was shaped in collaboration with Michael Smith, one of the most recognisable names on the PDC circuit.  

One barrel. One clear goal. Pure performance when it matters most.  

This guide breaks down the story behind the collaboration and every spec featured on the barrel.  


The Story Behind Michael Smith Series II

No wasted detail. The Series II barrel was developed directly with Michael Smith and shaped around what he needed from a barrel under tournament pressure: stability through the throw and consistency on release.  

Smith turned professional in 2008 and has spent his career sharpening the fundamentals that separate good throws from great ones. That same focus on rhythm and control runs through his barrel, from its subtle forward taper to the flights at the other end.  

The Dart: Michael Smith Series II-90% Tungsten Dart Barrels

The Series II uses a straight barrel profile with a subtle forward taper, shifting the balance toward the front of the dart. That shift in weight stabilises your throw and promotes a cleaner, straight entry into the board. Less wobble in flight, less deflection on arrival.  

A sandblasted finish runs the full length of the barrel for a consistent, distraction-free feel in the hand. Cutting through that finish is a classic ring grip: tighter rings through the centre for control, opening into precision-milled rings towards the front at act as clear reference points for your fingers. At the nose, a bullnose design reduces deflections on tightly grouped throws, finished with anti-slip square rings for added confidence right at release.  

The barrel comes fitted with Shot’s Michael Smith Turbo Dart Points in 30mm. Every set is finished with Shot’s Koi Carbon-Michael Smith Red Dart Shafts, and a matching Michael Smith Series II flight set.
