GVV Begins a New Chapter with Winmau
A new chapter begins for one of darts' brightest rising stars as Gian van Veen officially joins Team Winmau, marking the start of an exciting new partnership.
Already recognised as one of the sport's most exciting young talents, the Dutch star has established himself through impressive performances, consistent scoring and a growing presence on the professional circuit.
Now, with Winmau behind him, Van Veen enters the next stage of his career with a brand-new signature darts collection developed around his playing style and preferences at the oche.
Featuring four distinct tiers, the collection brings Gian's signature design to players of different abilities and budgets, from premium tungsten engineering to an accessible brass setup.
Introducing the Gian van Veen Signature Collection
Rather than introducing a single player dart, Winmau has developed a four-tier signature collection, offering different levels of construction, grip technology and finishing while maintaining Gian's recognisable design identity.
At the top sits the premium W-MAX, followed by the performance-focused TS-PRO and refined TS, with the accessible CORE completing the range.
Each tier offers a different way to experience the Gian van Veen collection, allowing players to choose the level of specification that best suits their game.
W-MAX - The Ultimate GVV Experience
Leading the collection is the Winmau Gian van Veen W-MAX 90% Tungsten Steel Tip Darts, the flagship release in his new signature range.
Inspired by Gian's own playing darts, W-MAX combines premium engineering with the distinctive feel and appearance of his signature setup.
The barrel features Winmau's Diamond Fusion grip technology, designed to deliver high-friction fingertip contact for players who value a defined, consistent grip.
A parallel barrel profile and centre-weighted balance provide a familiar, controlled feel, while 24-carat gold-plated detailing gives the darts a premium finish.
The W-MAX also includes GVV Custom Switch Points, allowing compatible points to be changed without traditional repointing equipment, alongside two flight configurations for additional setup flexibility.
For players looking for the highest-specification model in the collection, W-MAX delivers the complete GVV experience.
Premium engineering. Diamond Fusion grip. Signature GVV performance.
TS-PRO - Precision Meets Performance
The Winmau Gian van Veen TS-PRO 90% Tungsten Steel Tip Darts introduce another performance-focused option within the signature collection.
Taking inspiration from Gian's playing darts, TS-PRO retains a parallel barrel profile and centre-weighted balance, while introducing two distinctive grip textures.
Bold precision-milled cuts combine with refined micro grip sections, creating contrasting grip surfaces designed to provide clear fingertip feedback and control.
This combination allows players to experience different levels of grip across the barrel, making TS-PRO particularly appealing to those who prefer a more pronounced feel in their throwing hand.
With 90% tungsten construction and premium detailing, TS-PRO brings together a distinctive barrel design and the recognisable characteristics of Gian's signature setup.
Two grip textures. Precision machining. Signature GVV design.
TS - Refined Grip, Signature Feel
The Winmau Gian van Veen TS 90% Tungsten Steel Tip Darts offer a more refined interpretation of the Dutchman's signature barrel.
Built around a finely machined micro grip inspired by the Diamond Fusion texture of Gian's own playing darts, TS focuses on consistent fingertip contact and a controlled release.
The fine grip pattern runs through the key contact areas of the barrel, offering a defined feel without relying on the larger milled cuts found on TS-PRO.
A parallel profile, rounded front and centre-weighted balance maintain the familiar characteristics of the wider GVV collection.
Finished in onyx PVD with 24-carat gold-plated rear detailing, TS also delivers a premium appearance that complements its precision-machined construction.
For players who prefer a finer, more consistent grip texture, TS provides another way to experience Gian van Veen's signature design.
Refined micro grip. Balanced performance. Signature GVV feel.
CORE - The Perfect Starting Point
Completing the four-tier collection is the Winmau Gian van Veen CORE Brass Steel Tip Darts, designed to bring his signature style to a wider range of players.
Unlike the three tungsten models, CORE uses a brass barrel to provide a more accessible entry point into the collection.
The darts feature a 21g barrel matching Gian's playing weight, precision-milled grip zones and distinctive gold GVV detailing.
The result is a beginner-friendly setup that retains the visual identity of the wider signature range without the premium construction of the tungsten models.
Ideal for newcomers, casual players and fans looking for their first Gian van Veen darts, CORE completes a collection designed to appeal to players at every stage of their development.
Signature GVV style. Accessible construction. The perfect starting point.
Four Tiers - Which Gian van Veen Darts Are Right for You?
The strength of the new Gian van Veen collection lies in the different options available across its four tiers.
W-MAX sits at the top of the range, combining Diamond Fusion grip, gold-plated detailing and additional setup options for players seeking the premium GVV experience.
TS-PRO introduces a combination of bold milled grip and refined micro textures for players looking for distinctive grip feedback.
TS focuses on fine micro grip and a balanced barrel feel, offering a more understated approach to the signature design.
CORE provides the accessible starting point, bringing Gian's styling and preferred playing weight into a beginner-friendly brass dart.
Whether you're an experienced player looking to explore premium grip technology or a newcomer choosing your first set, the four-tier approach makes the GVV collection accessible across different playing levels.
