As you can see above the darts have aggressive razor/shark grip which is a high level grip.  The grip in the centre of the barrel though is a less aggressive medium level ring style grip.

WEIGHT:

There was a difference of eight hundredths of a gram between the lightest and heaviest barrel but still very acceptable tolerances:

BALANCE:

With nothing attached the balance was very close to the centre:

With the supplied set up it moved just a little past centre:

MY GRIP WITH THESE DARTS:

My front grip covered pretty much all of the front shark style grip and was nice and comfortable overall, I felt the dart was fairly well balanced too but probably more balanced around the centre but there is less grip there Guests cannot see images in the messages.

The darts seemed to fly well with my throw and landed in my more usual upright angleGuests cannot see images in the messages. Please register at the forum by clicking here to see images.

CONCLUSION:

Well I must be starting to get a good feel for this aggressive style of grip now, after trying the Razma darts recently which have a similar grip and doing well with those I tried these and did even better!  Not so long ago I would have dismissed using this grip straight away as being too much for me, admittedly I did struggle after breaking my hand but thankfully that seems to have just about sorted itself now and I am finding this style of grip to be quite rewarding.  I think you still need to have a nice clean release and be sure to not grip the dart too heavily though, but it gives you a very positive feel when you push forward and I think it just helps overall Guests cannot see images in the messages. Please register at the forum by clicking here to see images.

Now these darts are a similar dimension to the Razmas but as you can see they are 2g lighter so exactly on the weight I most commonly use and whereas the Razma seemed to fly more flatter, these seem to work just that little bit better with my loopy style and I was hitting more T20's with these.

Once again its a straight barrel dart so should potentially suit any grip but only the front and rear sections have the very grippy shark style grip and the centre is more medium ring grip.  So if you like a good grip then for front and rear grippers its great!

Another good thing about these is that they are a great value dart at the £21.90 price tag especially when you look at what you get as a whole package.

Not sure why there is not other weights in this model though, I think it should have a few versions like it had with the older Rasta darts?

Very nice darts once again and another aggressively gripped dart that has thrown a spanner in my thoughts on what suits me, argggghhhh!!!!!

SUMMARY RATINGS:

Looks: 8 (looks good)
Grip: 9 (on a 1 to 10 Scale, 10 been severe grip)
Weight match: 7 (acceptable)
Quality: 8 (good)
Value: 9 (great value)
Suitability for me: 8.5 (worked very well)

Best Feature: Overall great value! Guests cannot see images in the messages. Please register at the forum by clicking here to see images.

The ringed part is a great reference too.
I have been throwing these for a little over a month and have shot several 180's at the pub and 140's and tons coming a lot more frequently.
I think Mike and I both are wanting them to do the black one. They are 85% as Grip says but nice and thin and they are one tuff dart 10 outta 10 for me too.

I was really expecting the grip to be too much but I seem to have less problems at present with my grip and my wrist is not as achy as it has been but I dare not push the practice time too much in case I start aggravating it again, just biding my time really and hopefully the hand exercises I have done are helping Guests cannot see images in the messages.
