Dart Points, What's for you? What's the difference?

[@ianallcock]

Absolutely bang on about long points I struggled terribly with 42mm points the balance was greatly affected. I know throw with a 32mm black points and quite happy with that. I do think that alot of the points that are out there now a gimmicks.

Very helpful just had my first point break tonight east fix just gotta get some new ones. It’s nice that they have a break point so the tool is very useful.

Great vid, I had a brand new set of target agora, came standard with a short silver point. During a match I hit a ton but before I could retrieve it the dart in the treble just simply fell out. I laughed and took the 40pts to the chin. Ill be sure to rough up any silver points now.

[@heman691]

Yeah I bought Jonny Clayton darts with the standard silver points every time I took my turn at least one dart would fall out before I took down the score and that was new darts on the new winmau triple core board.

Hi, nice review. I use mostly Target Precision Machined Fire Points 36mm Black Nickel. Find it best suited & holds great in the board. They are that long because I use my pinky & ringfinger to rest, grip the point.

Great name for a darts channel!

[@Straightdarts]

Thanks!! I responce your other question my average is around 80 normally. :) and I think a vid on grouping is a good idea, thanks for the suggestion 👍 keep your eye out for the vid. :') my the darts be with you. 😀

[@Deej1969]

@@Straightdarts I deleted my 3DA comment/question because I heard your answer in another one of your videos. I think you're off to a great start! A darts instructional channel from a well above average player should become popular. The Darts Referee rarely does videos now and Darts Class has somewhat disappeared. Keep them coming and you should grow! Thanks!

I throw 26g darts and I haven’t had many problems with darts falling out. I just ordered a repointing tool (the Harrows one). I figure, getting back into darts after 4.0 years, if I’m going to experiment with flights and stems, why not try different business ends? Thanks, as always, for your informative videos!

[@wilson5377]

Spot on!👍 Have the Jonny Clayton's 2021 Ladbrokes, this came with the 27mm trident silver points. No falling off issues plus it extends flight life as well.👍🍻

[@dansando5804]

Great video! 👍i have one question , what is the best way of cutting dart points to a different length?

[@Straightdarts]

I use these two, cheep products. :) www.ebay.co.uk/itm/364022834848?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=WOWT_6ByRd2&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=7nUlyOiiQZK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY www.ebay.co.uk/itm/353154707597?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=mHsXMbzoSb-&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=7nUlyOiiQZK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Im looking at buy darts mission john oshea then adding mission sniper points eithet 28mm or 32mm

[@Lovejezus77794]

Thx

[@kentovewagenes1141]

So if I understand that it is similar to the stems... longer ones have less stability through the air... same with points ? Does it affect how the darts end up in the board... flatter... ?

[@kentovewagenes1141]

Or the other way around 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Straightdarts]

No, the length won't. But the more grip you have on the point, the flater they will want to land. Its only a slight difference, though. The advantage to a long point is the extra room in the treble, but they are less stable. I like to use the barrel of my darts to deflect them in, so a shoter point is better. :)

[@LukePettit]

When they give a point length, eg. 32mm, is that how far they stick out from the end of the barrell? Or is some of that inside?

[@Straightdarts]

If it has a tapper to join the barrel like a target storm then it how fair they stick out of the barrel. If its a straight normal point then it the whole length. With mentioning the points normally go in to a barrel about 4mm so the storm 26mm and a normal 32mm point are pretty much thr same length from the barrel to the tip. :)

[@rayphillips6060]

@@Straightdarts What are the point lengths in the darts in this video

[@extremezoom2024]

Why do you prefer black points to silver?

[@Straightdarts]

The black on the points provides a bit more grip in the board. With silver points you need to rough them up more. I don't mind to much though. :)

[@gunthertoastbrot3738]

So the very nice looking Rainbow points do not reward the same amount of board grip as the well working but rather boring looking black points?

[@Straightdarts]

Unfortunately yes. The black coating is thicker and cases more traction.

[@Masoncalvin]

Hello Daniel how do u colour the point

[@Straightdarts]

That was only done to stop the point form glaring. It's just a marker pen. It dosnt last long. I can rambow coat darts and points buy burning them lightly then cooling them instantly. I might do a video on that. :)

[@paulcowen1976]

What brand points do u use

[@Straightdarts]

I use 30mm mission points. They are very short.
