Much appreciated for the video. Clarified many of my questions with the installations of the normal points. I myself like longer point, Swiss points seems to only go to 35mm. Seeing Luke Littler’s darts, Shaggy Williams’ darts; they both have Swiss point barrels on display, but they both use longer points yet I don’t see the Swiss point style points. They both use a normal looking longer points. This video answers what I believe they do… thank you!

[@akscott2934]

Right on you’ve gained a whole new level of respect for me and I love that I have retipped many of my Darts by hand and made my own points I think it’s awesome you swapped out those Swiss points

[@akscott2934]

that was supposed to say from me

Thanks 👍

Great video WWD, not planning on buying Swiss point darts any time soon but makes me feel better about investing in my repointing tool, Ha!

[@Camrographer]

Do you know if Swiss points are the same diameter as the after-market points? Given that these are friction fit points I'm curious if the thread area is holding the tip end or if the tapered receiving end of the barrel is being utilized. The reason I'm asking is if re-pointing a swiss-point barrel makes a complete mess of things internally and any more attempts at re-pointing will not longer take.

[@TheTricky66]

Great video, esp as I just ordered those darts and I like using longer points. 👍

great vid! just ordered myself a set of bolide darts plus a set of plain 26mm swiss points and a set of 30mm diamond swiss points. when or if all of those points break i'll be resorting to this.

Today or tomorrow I think. Now that it's getting nice outside my subs have slowed down a bit.

[@WorldwideDarts]

You're welcome!!! 👍😁

[@13Futschikato12]

If you change the tips too often, they will eventually become loose. I use screw lock (loctite) for this. I don't think that should be a problem here either, if you want to be on the safe side.

[@nedkealy2817]

Great video as usual well done there lovely darts the bolide 21 gram out of them all 100 percent

[@WorldwideDarts]

Thanks 👍 Little lighter now at 20.95g 😂

[@darrenclark9647]

I wonder long term if the point will loosen up in the barrel now though. Because after time the material that was the threads might come lose and allow the point to slide from constant friction of the in and out push and pull from the dart board.

[@WorldwideDarts]

They're in there to stay. No way are these coming loose.

[@mikhail5460]

i had a set of darts with swiss point, but after a few months i changed to normal point darts bcos swiss points darts are prone to break , easily , most of the time when it falls..and its not cheap though. in my opinion bcos of the groove .

[@davidetherington3756]

Great video! The only thing putting me off the Bolide was the Swiss points, do you think a storm point will go in ok?

[@WorldwideDarts]

I'm not so sure about Storms. I don't know if the tab would be long enough to catch on the Swiss threads. Always worth a try and if it doesn't work go with the Winmau Freeflo points or the Red Dragon trident points as the metal nose cone moves on those points

[@jerremaiahninodayao5785]

I've successfully inserted harrows apex ridge 30mm points in my target bolide 03 barrels.

[@ricjava1523]

whats the reaponse its ok or not mate? i have a swiss sp i like to repoint to normal points

[@Inferniooo]

Are there any alternative threaded tips for these barrels? I have @300 threaded barrels that are NOT BA2. The hole is @2mm. For the life of me I can't find them listed on the internet anywhere.

[@janekhill8647]

Brave brave choice haha. Did you try putting the Swiss points back or are the threads gone after that?

[@WorldwideDarts]

I haven't tried on this set as I didn't want to remove the gold points but have heard from an online friend that the Swiss points no longer work after this. I'll test it soon and report back 👍

[@noitanigami99]

@@WorldwideDarts any update?

[@WorldwideDarts]

Here's where Target may have got the Swiss points idea from... imgur.com/PRVkMAc 🤔

[@FatOssssss]

How does that actually work mecanically? Is the threaded part a sort of insert pressfitted into a regular point hole?

[@WorldwideDarts]

Yeah, the internal threads are the part that's biting into the normal points. In not a good way either 😂

[@FatOssssss]

Ah! I get it now! Thanks for your reply! You must have heard those threads scream for their lives while pressing the new point in 🤣

[@Grandi74]

Interesting. I may have to do try this to mine. 🤔🤷‍♂️

[@WorldwideDarts]

Have you broken a lot of points?

[@Grandi74]

Not loads but more than I normally would. They all broke in the right place, but it is a weak spot for a reason. If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it!

[@batfaste]

4 months later.. I wonder how these are holding up?.. Dying to try it with my rvbgen 3 darts.. But scared to fuck up

[@WorldwideDarts]

I gave these darts to a friend of mine and he loves them. Still holding up perfectly. However... if I was to do this again I would use longer points as the hole is fairly deep. Definitely 36mm points at a minimum

[@batfaste]

Sound chap.. I'll consider what you have said there mate

[@jonhykawy6556]

Really curious to know how well the new points hold up, WWD. Are you going to keep throwing those and let us know if the new points loosen up over time or anything?

[@WorldwideDarts]

I'm not sure to be honest. Someone already wants to buy them. I just started playing online darts again using my match darts... the One80 Reload so I'm not looking to try anything else. I do actually like these darts quite a bit though 👍

[@willabrams9449]

Can you repoint every dart?

[@basstardofficial5940]

I knew this already, but the question is, can you replace the normal points, multiple times?

[@andyskinner7163]

great video again ,and why not experiment with your darts .after all keeps you busy in lockdown:)Boooom!!!

[@warrendoll5911]

I have had a set of Swiss Point sp01 26gr for 16 months and have broken nearly 20 points, I actually bought 5 sets each of 26mm and 30mm at the same time thinking I will last forever. Target said that the first batch points were not up to standards and sent me only 2 sets of the gold plated as compensation saying these would last. Well I have one gold plated point left, it is good to see that I can repoint the sp01 as I like their feel.

[@WorldwideDarts]

I heard they improved. I haven't seen too many people complain about them anymore but to be fair I'm not sure they caught on too well

[@warrendoll5911]

@@WorldwideDarts You mentioned in your video that with the Swiss Point, you should go with 36mm, I usually use 30mm. Should I go with the 36mm points?

[@WorldwideDarts]

@@warrendoll5911 The hole is definitely deeper so you should use a longer point if you're jamming normal points in there. Again, it will ruin the Swiss point threads though

[@simeonemascarpone]

I've been using the bolides and another set with the Swiss points for over a year now and never broke one single point. I kinda like them 😕. Plus if it should brake it's not such a sweat compared to repointing standard points imo. I actually have a set with a broken (standard) point and it broke off completely. So I looked up some video's on how to remove it, and it looks way more scary and expensive then simply screwing a new SP on. Dissolving or drilling it out where basically the two options.

[@Tomas.O.Sullivan]

i was just going to buy a new set of the swiss point darts .but if the points break a lot its a bit off putting ,im wondering how many times do u think u can repoint with normal points before they would become loose.or if they would become loose over time ..

[@WorldwideDarts]

Sorry no idea. The hole is a bit deeper on the Swiss barrels so make sure you go with a longer than normal point.

[@Tomas.O.Sullivan]

@@WorldwideDarts thanks .looking though some u older videos ..great content man ...

[@WorldwideDarts]

@@jerremaiahninodayao5785 I used 35mm points but i wish I went with 38 or 41mm because the hole in the Swiss barrels is a bit deeper than normal

[@terryturner4175]

would have love to see a storm point on them

[@WorldwideDarts]

I've seen someone put an Apex point in them.

[@JDCSS]

Did not work for me. The new point did not center and when I press it to center the point is loose and makes a clicking noise when it hits the board. Maybe the repointing tool i used was rubbish

[@WorldwideDarts]

The hole is deeper on the Swiss points. Maybe you didn't press it in far enough? You probably want to go up a point size too

[@Benni16786]

Has anyone ever pressed normal StormPoints into the SP system and can say something about it?

[@ToTnDarts]

Do you use glue to fix? Or something?

[@WorldwideDarts]

Nope, no glue here. The normal point presses into the Swiss threads and holds tight. Really tight!

[@andrewspence7231]

Not sure why people hate swiss points mine have been perfect plenty bounce outs no point breaks maybe people want to look at their surroundings

[@WorldwideDarts]

I've seen many cases of broken points posted online. One person broke as many as 8 points in a single day. Some have had the points snap in half on the same day they got the darts. Target provides no extra points with their darts. So there's quite a few out there that have had a horrible experience with them. This is simply a solution to broken points. In fairness to Target they did claim to improve them but how many 1000's of darts got sold with defective points?

[@johnbrennan2067]

Got a set of Bolides yesterday. If they break I'll be doing this 😂. Now spend your next video trying to screw then back in

[@anlouwbotes3154]

Anyone tried this method. Im at the point, pun intended, to do this. Love the Bollide barrels. Never had an issue with tips broken for the last 6months then all of a sudden... Points splitting in half.... Not snapping as it should... It splits from the tip upwards. On robin hoods. . Brought this to targets attention.... At first they were quick tonsay they will replace it... Then more happened and now they are ghosting me.

[@WorldwideDarts]

I've heard a couple others doing this after they got tired of breaking points

[@moa1805]

You must have many of these boom! shirts🤣🤣

2 but I have a new (different) one coming this week 👍

[@leighhand1]

Why don't you like the sp point?

[@WorldwideDarts]

In more recent videos I've changed my mind. Target has made them stronger. They used to break WAY too often when this video was made. I have a very recent video on them... kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnnNZKudj9hni5I

[@edongskimanuel9617]

What’s on Target’s mind of introducing Swiss Points? So that you can repoint anytime without a repointer?

[@WorldwideDarts]

I think it was more about finding a way to sell more points as they seem to break rather easy.

[@rodgerroadkill339]

What are Swiss points

[@WorldwideDarts]

Removable steep tip points that are designed to break in case of a bounce out. Meaning you have to buy more Swiss points.

[@Flipke88]

Target lifetime barrel gaurantee? That is BS. My barrel split open and then they say its no gaurantee.

[@WorldwideDarts]

What barrel? Was it the Bolide?

[@Flipke88]

Worldwide Darts No, just another target barrel..

[@Flipke88]

Target T0.1 steeltip T002ST.

[@ShaneCrook]

Never used swiss points

[@WorldwideDarts]

That's a good thing 👍

[@simeonemascarpone]

I'm wondering why people don't like the Swiss points? I never broke one of them and if they break they allegedly break at the same spot so they are replaced easily. And I kinda like the idea of switching that fast between colors and types of points. But worldwide is a way more experienced player then me so there must be something in it..

[@randymarshole]

I've broken about 6 in a 3 month window, most from bounce outs but a couple snapped in the board. Now if you take a set of Swiss points at £6 a pop, it will end up costing me more than the darts. In 20 years of playing casual with normal points I've had one snapped point.

[@simeonemascarpone]

@@randymarshole I heard that, but never experienced it myself so I don't know why that's not happening to me. I don't throw hard so maybe that's it. But even when bouncing out it never happend once. It's actually the opposite for me. I've broken 2 normal points over the years. I'm looking for a good method to remove the point because one of them snapped off completely. So it's either drilling it out and risking to damage my dart or desolve the point. And I don't have a repointer for the other one so imo it's a way bigger hassle to change normal points. But I get that if you do experience these problems with the Swiss points, your not that happy with them. Although honestly I rather pay a few more bucks then to have to deal with removing and replacing normal points.

[@randymarshole]

@@simeonemascarpone I do throw hard. Maybe it only affects us that throw hard and by throwing hard it weakens the point over time, so when we get a bounce out it is snapping a lot more frequently.

[@memo1269]

I mean, you couldn't even actually show the repointing??

[@WorldwideDarts]

I have about 3 other repointing videos that go into detail.
