FAQs
Are these darts suitable for beginners?
While high quality, the 26g weight is on the heavier side. They are best suited for intermediate players who have developed a consistent throwing style.
What does the Ripsaw grip feel like?
It is an aggressive, tactile grip that provides high levels of friction, ensuring your fingers do not slip during the release phase of the throw.
Can I replace the points on these darts?
Yes, but this requires a specialized professional dart repointing tool. If you are not comfortable doing this, seek assistance at a local dart shop.
Do the barrels come with flights and shafts?
The Winmau Kairos 02 darts typically come with a standard set of flights and shafts, but players often customize these based on their personal throw preference.
Why 26g?
A 26g weight provides a steady, powerful throw that is less influenced by air currents, making it a favorite for players who prefer a heavier, more substantial feel.
Troubleshooting
Darts are grouping wide of the target
Check that your flight setup is consistent. A damaged or bent flight can drastically change the drag on a 26g dart.
Frequent bounce-outs from the board
Inspect the dart points. If they are blunt or hooked, use a sharpener. Also, ensure you are not throwing too hard for your specific dartboard density.
Grip feeling inconsistent
Use a soft brush to clean the barrel grooves, as chalk, dust, or skin debris can fill the Ripsaw teeth and reduce their effectiveness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the performance of your Winmau Kairos 02 darts, ensure they are paired with high-quality stems and flights that match your throw speed—stiffer stems are generally recommended for 26g weights to minimize wobble. When installing, ensure the shafts are tightened securely into the barrel to prevent vibrations that can affect the flight path. For care, keep the darts in a dedicated case when not in use to protect the points and the Ripsaw grip texture. Periodically clean the grip with a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and skin oils that can compromise the texture. Inspect the steel points regularly; if they become blunted or hooked, use a professional dart sharpener to maintain a smooth conical tip, which preserves the life of your dartboard.
