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.

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.

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.

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!!!!!
