The best shafts & flights ?

[A.Dev]

I'm picking the darts up again after over four years not throwing and wanted to know what equipment some of you are using. What shafts and stems are you finding are lasting the longest etc ?
I've been using some stems with a grip ring and what I'm finding is that the ring itself isn't lasting long at all, either becoming very loose so not serving it's purpose or breaking and coming off completely.
Be interested to hear your comments on what's good and not so good from your experiences, cheers.

Fit-flight gear is good and more and more using it once they have tried it

hey troops not sure where to post this i was going to start a new thread but i'll just stick it in here. Anyway my problem is i've just got a set on anderson phase 2s. however after throwing them for a couple of hours yesterday i couldn't help but notice how they keep falling out the board when im walking up to take them out. I use a bulls advantage II board and i know this is quite a hard board, but never had this problem with my g-force dreamboy darts that i used for ages.My brother seems to think this is because the points are new and need roughed up a bit. is he right or is it the way i chuck them. Hope i've made sense an some1 can help thanks

[The Crusader]

Your brother is right, rough up points on all new ones

I use plain extra short nylon stems @22p each from a180 and they hold up very well and I clatter my darts with force.
Seems alot of money to shell out on the cosmos to me.
The darts industry it seems is trying to push the boundaries and the wool over peoples eyes in thinking these new gadgets will make you a better player.
Adrian Lewis 'ziriconium' darts,red dragon described fittons darts as having physical vapour deposition ? ok I must have a set then,all a load of bo11ocks.
That said people will buy what they want to buy and if it makes them feel superior on the oche having a set of cosmo shafts and push flights then let em get on with it,thats my input.

I just use a cheap set of harrows, work fine for me.

I had the same experience with rings and springs, after robin hooding the rings a few times I stopped using them.
Whatever you use, I'd recommend looking into Trident 180s or Storm points, they really do extend the life of your flights. I prefer storm points, but when I first used tridents I wondered why a company that makes flights would sell something that makes them last 4x longer...

Another new option if you want to stay with nylon shafts and regular flights is the Whizlock. They work better on some shafts than others, but on the right shaft they do an excellent job preventing robinhoods. May not work on all flight shapes, I use standards but have been able to use them on pears too.

With storms and whizlocks I can use nylon shafts and whatever flights I want, no worries, less wear and tear.

Any of you guys been using the Pro Grip stems ?
I'm finding the Winmau Rhino flights being very good, lasting ages.
