As well I think they may be marginally thicker than some points. Obviously if you get to the taper. I use gold smooths in most my darts and notice they do hold better. I have a set of Bull' darts with factory black smooth points and they really hold tight too. Great observation from another member

That'll wear and will feel smoother before long.

I find having to twist each single dart to get it out of the board breaks my rhythm and adds to my frustration. I've changed my points to the Target Storm chrome colour ones. But at least I don't fear I'm going to pull the board off the wall!

Same Observation here.
Having some Sets with Silver Storms and really like them, i fitted my C12s with black ones because the set came fitted with black standard points.
Damn, it feels like pulling big chunks of Sisal with them if you don´t twist them when pulling out.
I guess i switch them to silver ones with my next order and keep in mind: silver for practice, black for a match set.

I use the grooved Storm Points in both black and gold and don't have that problem, perhaps the reduced surface area makes them less grippy. Might be a way around the grippiness of the standard Storm Points for those that don't like it.

Any grippiness on any smooth point will not last very long. Even 'Diamond' points can end up smoother quicker than you
would expect. As for grooved storms that is more for finger grip rather than board grip.
