I have a set of Simon Whitlock gold darts in 24 grams. These darts feel much heavier than this. I also have a set of Ted Hanky smooth barrels, 23 grams which feel heavier as well. When buying darts from your company, should I always go with a lighter weight than I prefer?

Weigh them. Every winmau/red dragon dart I have ever ordered falls within .2 grams of advertised weight.... and within .1gram of each other. Remember to weigh the barrels only.

I've weighed them and they are what it says they are. They just happen to feel heavier to me.

I know what you are talking about. I have a set of 22g winmau darts and a set of 22 gram target darts. One of the guys I throw with and myself bout thought the winmaus felt heavier. Could it be the shape of the dart or something that causes it to feel that way? The winmau set are the Christian kist and the target ones are the storm darts.

Could it be because both the whitlocks and the kist darts are front loaded that make them feel heavy?

Have you tried the same shaft and flight setup on them?

What is the dart on the bottom of the pic. I like the look of those.

Could Winmau give me some options on other points that fit the Steve Beaton darts, the knurled points are not for me and other points I have tried including standard, Red Dragon black, Target Storm and Unicorn grippers all too loose in the barrel and fall out.
Regards.
