I've been throwing Phase 5 LP's for a while now. I have been using Deflectagrips and McCoy Power Max flights and have been generally happy with them. The stems and flights and take somewhat of a beating.
Just looking around at different darts, I keep seeing the Phase 5's with the the Phase 5/Slik Stik stems. Decided to give them a go. Order some from Puredarts, and some of the Unicorn DMX flights.
So first, one of the stems thread was messed up. I had to run a die over it, and then it was still a bit tight, had to force it in the barrel with pliers. Sure, I could have contacted Pure or Unicorn, but I really wasn't interested in waiting for any replacements. That stem now goes in and out freely. Still, I'm guessing not all dart players have a tap and die set out in the garage.
Now, trying them out with the DMX flights. These things are tiny. I kind of liked it, however my darts did not fly very straight, and were landing in my board with the flights pointing way left. I need better correction from my flights. I put the power max flights in, and while a tight fit, are working out nicely so far.
I don't know that these flights are making that much of a difference in overall scores, however I do feel the flexible nature of the slik stiks is resulting in less deflections and tighter groups.
I do wonder if there is a flight in between the Power Max and the DMX that would work for my throw.
