Once more unto the breach, dear friends; I have bought lighter darts. Guests cannot see images in the messages. Please register at the forum by clicking here to see images.
These are the 10g model of the Red Dragon Featherlite 5. They do more than just the Featherlite 1 in 10g. Guests cannot see images in the messages. Please register at the forum by clicking here to see images.
The darts
The darts come in a plastic sealed packet:

Inside that is a bar wallet with the darts in.

Inside that is the barrels sealed in a plastic packet with a set of aluminium stems. You also get 2 sets of standard flights and a guarantee card:

A closer look at the barrels:

They have a thin ring grip to near the back of the barrel then, nothing too special but it looks nice. Guests cannot see images in the messages. Please register at the forum by clicking here to see images.
I'd do measurements here but the battery in my calipers died! Guests cannot see images in the messages. Please register at the forum by clicking here to see images. They seem to match up with the dimensions posted by Red Dragon though - which is 33mm length, 5.7mm width and they're drilled out about 10mm.

0.06 in the weights then, so falls in the 0.1 guarantee!

Obviously with my preferred setup the weight is more.

How they fly
With the supplied setup, surprisingly well! Got a few 140s with them. They landed tail-up:

With my preferred setup they lie down more but I've got them flatter than this.

The darts are quite grippy without it being noticeable - it doesn't feel grippy but there's certainly a good grip. RD advertises it as 4/5, I'd say it's 7 out of 10 or a medium-high level.
Scores on the doors
Looks: 7.5/10. No nonsense but still nice to look at.
Match weighting: 9/10. 0.06 is very good, not quite the 0.05 needed for a 9.5 though.
Value: 9.5/10. About £15 posted is crazy value!
Suitability for me: 10/10. Going like a dream thus far. Guests cannot see images in the messages. Please register at the forum by clicking here to see images.
How nice to throw: 10/10. Lighter seems to be better with me! And these are the extreme sde of light; almost too light to be legal!
Best feature: The value. £15 is great value for a set of darts.
Final score: 11/10. Yes, these break the counter! They're even better than my 12g Sharks. I didn't think it was possible but these just feel better. They're the extreme side of light yes but they work!
I think I can stop buying darts now. Guests cannot see images in the messages. Please register at the forum by clicking here to see images. But keep an eye on my next review - it's something a bit special...
