FAQs
What is the weight of these darts?
These barrels weigh exactly 22 grams.
Are these darts suitable for beginners?
While high quality, the aggressive, unique scalloped shape is generally better suited for intermediate to advanced players who have already developed a consistent throwing style.
Can I use these on soft tip boards?
No, these are steel tip darts designed specifically for use on traditional sisal bristle dartboards.
What kind of grip level do they offer?
They feature a high-level, aggressive grip thanks to the deep machining patterns across the barrel.
Do the darts come with shafts and flights?
Yes, they typically come as a complete set including the barrels, shafts, and flight components.
Troubleshooting
Excessive bounce-outs from the dartboard
Ensure the dart points are properly sharpened and not rounded off from heavy use.
Dart feels slippery during release
Wipe the barrel with a dry cloth to remove natural skin oils or chalk residue.
Flights are tearing frequently
Check if the barrel grip is snagging the flight edges and consider using flight protectors or punch systems.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, pair these 22g barrels with high-quality nylon or carbon fiber shafts to maintain the center of gravity. Since the barrels feature deep milling, inspect your flights regularly for signs of 'shredding' caused by the grip patterns of the barrels during storage. For maintenance, keep the steel points sharp using a standard dart sharpener to prevent premature board damage and ensure smooth entry into the sisal fibers. When not in use, store these darts in a hard-shell case to prevent the aggressive grip patterns from becoming damaged or clogged with debris.
