Winmau Joe Cullen S.E. Steel Tip Darts Review
When it comes to natural talent and pure scoring power, few players capture the imagination quite like Joe Cullen. Nicknamed "The Rockstar," Cullen’s fast-paced, rhythmic style has earned him a reputation as one of the most exciting players on the professional darts circuit. In collaboration with Winmau, he’s released the Joe Cullen Special Edition Steel Tip Darts — a set that blends style, precision, and serious scoring potential. In this review, we take an in-depth look at what makes these darts a must-have for players who want to bring a bit of Rockstar magic to their game.
Introduction
Nicknamed The Rockstar, Joe Cullen is one of the most naturally gifted players on the professional circuit. Known for his effortless throw and electrifying performances, Cullen has teamed up with Winmau to release the Joe Cullen Special Edition Steel Tip Darts — a set that truly reflects his flair, accuracy, and cool under pressure. These darts aren’t just about eye-catching design; they are built for players who want to channel that same smooth, confident style.
Design and Appearance
The Winmau Joe Cullen S.E. darts are crafted from 90% tungsten, ensuring a slim, high-performance profile that offers excellent durability without sacrificing balance. The design is immediately striking, finished with a titanium nitride coating in black, offset by vivid red rings that reflect Cullen's energetic and rockstar image.
The barrel features a parallel (straight) shape, offering a consistent grip zone from front to back. The standout is the combination of micro grip zones and ringed cuts, providing a modern and stylish appearance without overwhelming the feel in hand.
Grip and Feel
Grip-wise, the Joe Cullen S.E. darts sit at a medium-high level. The barrel features finely milled ring cuts with micro grip detailing that feels secure yet smooth, meaning you can generate confident throws without feeling your fingers getting caught or dragged.
The grip is consistent along the entire length, which is perfect for players who like to experiment with different finger placements. Whether you grip near the front, centre, or rear, you’ll find uniform tactile feedback that enhances control.
Overall, the feel is responsive and crisp, ideal for players who prefer a clean release and a dart that "sits" nicely in the fingers during setup.
Performance
On the board, these darts deliver exactly what you’d expect from a Joe Cullen collaboration — easy, flowing precision. The straight barrel design promotes tight groupings, and the slight front bias (very mild) assists players in generating consistent flight paths without altering their natural throw too much.
The micro grip allows you to feel exactly when to release, helping reduce over-gripping — a subtle but vital feature for players seeking more consistency under pressure.
These darts are particularly well-suited for aggressive scorers, players who like to throw quickly, and those who rely on rhythm during play.
