Red Dragon Gian van Veen 50 Year Limited Edition Darts
Gian van Veen has burst onto the scene with fearless pace and serious scoring power. To mark half a century of Red Dragon innovation, this 50 Year Limited Edition player box celebrates both the brand’s heritage and Gian’s rise with a setup that looks sharp and throws even better.
If you like a compact barrel, fast rhythm and a clean release, this one is right up your street.
What’s inside the player box
- 3 limited edition 90 percent tungsten barrels
- 3 50 Year flights
- 3 player flights
- 3 50 Year shafts
- 3 Nitrotech shafts
- Signature plaque
Everything arrives in a smart collector’s box, so it feels special the moment you lift the lid.
Barrel design and feel
The 21 g barrel measures 6.50 mm by 48.26 mm and suits a quicker, snappier throw. Up front you get a black diamond fusion coating for consistent grip and durability, finished in black Onyx with gold detailing that catches the light without being flashy.
The balance is tuned for a straight, no mess trajectory. If you like to stand tall and fire fast, you’ll feel at home straight away.
Set it up like Gian
- Start with short or intermediate Nitrotech stems
- Pair with No.2 shape flights for stability at pace
- Test a slight rear bias if you load from the back of the barrel
Small tweaks go a long way. If your darts are dipping, try a touch more flight surface. If they are sitting too upright, drop the stem length.
How it compares to other player editions
Compared with chunkier, longer player barrels, Gian’s setup is compact and quick through the air. Less drag, tidy grouping and a confident release. If you’ve tried mid barrel control but wanted something more responsive, this is a strong step up.
Who this suits
- Players with a faster rhythm who like to keep the arm moving
- Throwers who prefer a shorter barrel and a clean, snappy let go
- Collectors after a genuine milestone piece from Red Dragon’s 50th year

Quick answers
Is this the same spec Gian uses
Yes, it follows his playing spec, then lifts the finish for the anniversary edition with black Onyx and gold detailing.
What weight is available
21g in this limited edition player box.
Is it a good fit for slower, floaty throws
It can be, but the shorter length really shines for a quicker, more direct throw. If you like to loft the dart, consider a slightly longer stem or a larger flight to add stability.
Final word
This release does two jobs at once. It gives you a fast, modern player setup that feels match ready, and it lands as a proper collector’s piece from Red Dragon’s 50th year. Built for champions, crafted for legacy, and ready to go straight out of the box.
