Viper "The Freak" Steel Tip Darts, 22 Grams

Great darts for the price. I ordered 2 sets as part of my starter kit. Heavy enough for newer players but refined enough for the average player. They are not tungsten, therefore the dart body is thicker than high end darts. When you get good enough to start tightly grouping darts, the thickness comes into play because they start pushing each other aside. FYI, the spinning shaft is not a novelty, it is intended to allow the darts to brush past each other on the board without kicking out a dart due to contact with another dart's flight. I'm not a huge fan of this feature because I feel the slightest bit of wobble at the joint when I'm throwing. Very mild, but it's there. Personal preference I assume. You can always swap out shafts...they are cheap. Also, get some O-rings (again, dirt cheap) to place between the dart and the shaft to keep the shaft snug.

Must say that i get more than expected! Materials used are top quality , darts are very comfortable in hand and you get extra flights and adjust key. Recommend!

Best non-tungsten darts I have thrown. Not having played regularly in over 15 years I wanted something good without spending a fortune and these performed admirably. Definitely a little bulky because the low density steel, so I would stick to long shafts for stability, but that's to be expected. Quickly bought myself a new set of tungsten darts, but find these are great for guests or beginners. Most are impressed with how much better their game is with these. I guess my only negative would be how quickly the black finish has worn on the front of the dart, but if you're playing with dart snobs, these certainly aren't the darts for you anyway. Is my game better with my tungsten set? Without a doubt. But for the price, these can't be beat.

The weight and feel of these darts work well for me but my jury is still out on whether I like the spinny flights or not. They may serve some purpose, but I feel like a lose a tad of control because of it. I like to spin my darts when I throw, which is pointless with these spinney flights. I don't seem to be any more or less accurate with this type than non-spinning flights, so who knows. Otherwise, nice darts!

I bought these darts almost two months ago to replace the cheap darts that came with my dart board. So far, these have held up great casually playing at least a few times a week. The set came with extra tips and flights, but they have remained packed away since I have had no issues at all. With the aluminum flight connection, I have no concerns about the connection posts breaking if the dart takes a fall.The knurling and grooves really help you learn how to grip the darts consistently every time. The spinning shaft was very disorienting at first, but once you get used to it, it feels weird to play with shafts that don't spin! The weight feels substantial, but not heavy, and much nicer than the weight of lighter cheap darts.

Especially if you shot close to your last shot no bounce off

Fly and look awesome 👌

The darts come in a plastic case, that by all appearances, looks great. The plastic case is see-through and the clips that hold the darts seem to hold them securely. The case, however, is a b*tch to open. The top slides down instead of on a hinge and I struggled with it for awhile the first time, and the second time, and a few times after that. Inside, it does hold the darts, flights, and tools well.As far as the darts I received, they looked exactly as the picture shows and came with a spare set of flights. The only problem I really experienced was that the spinner didn't work on one of the darts. When you have spinning flights on a dart that doesn't spin, it throws you a little off.In short, they're a 5 on a scale of 1 to 10. Not horrible, but I've had better.
