Great video! Massively in favour here. All of our club sets are punched - eliminates any flights popping off. Also the stems last much, much longer!

My back, due to injuries, is in too poor of shape to be picking up flights all the time. I have tried both punched and not punched. If I were to throw standard flights again, I would throw with punched flights.

I have a picker for that very reason, if i were playing out and about though i'd probably punch my flights.

Totally agree with Matt, that's why I always use spinning stems, as it causes less "force"

I think what you want is a ring that doesn't tighten too much, so the flight can still pop off on impacts the wings can't flex out of the way, which they'll do if the material allows it and that's what's giving folding flights an advantage over molded unless they find a way to compensate. Then of course you can create a worst case by using bigger flights on shorter stems, so you might actually want to add a spin to help the flight evade on impact then as a last resort. Effects come with side effects, so in the end it's to decide what helps best with your throw and dimensions.

I use the punch system because I can't stand picking up flights off the floor, it screws with my game's flow. I rather get the occasional deflection.

You missed a key argument for the flight ring... It drastically reduces robin hoods that ruin the shaft.

I think that can be argued both ways

@mclyker 2 ай бұрын

@@missiondarts How can a tighter ring which limits the access to the shaft prongs increase the chance of splaying those prongs?

@mikebennett109 2 ай бұрын

I think the other side of the argument is not to do with splaying the prongs, rather it’s that if the point hits the ring, the dart might not make it to the board. But certainly using rings massively reduces breakages.

I would never go back to not punching flights. Personally I use the Shell Lock Caps, but that purely has something to do with the fact that I use 75 micron flights and they go out of shape very quickly. But with 100 micron flights I would just use Titanium rings or the very cheap ones.

Champagne ounch as well. I had both. Rings I get lots of Robinhoods and champagne I found the champagne caps wear out quick.

what if i go double ringed? one under the flight and one through the punched hole? will the 2nd dart deflect to the ceiling with enough 'Force'?

Do most pro players use rings as i hardly ever see a flight come off?

@smashyrashy 2 ай бұрын

Id say majority do and the main reason you never see them pop off is they have a brand new flight and stem every match, the older/ more used they are the more likely they will pop off

@matt_dobson0614 2 ай бұрын

I would say the majority do. For the ones that don't (e.g. Humphries, Cross, van den Bergh), I don't know how they don't have more flights popping off. The stems they use must be very good quality.
