Three packs of these just arrived, yes I ordered three. These are my not-so-secret weapon.
You have to try them, so I thought I would buy them up first.
There are two types of these darts - Microlite and Featherlite.
The Featherlite are here: https://www.reddragondarts.com/det/9101/...1-10-gram/
they go up in size from 10 to 19 gram and there seems to be 9 grip types in the series.
Now the Microlites - you will not find them if you search on RD so here they are: https://www.reddragondarts.com/det/1691/...e-10-gram/.
These are scalloped with a microgroove in the scallop. My first set has a finger grip point, the new ones don't. might have been added after purchase as they are longer and the dart is a bit heavier.
The Featherlites at 10 gm have the same scallop shape but are smooth, the 12 gm are straight with shark tooth grip!
I have also ordered two sets of 10 and 12 gm Featherlites.
OK, this is what they look like:
They come in a slim wallet that at first I could not figure out how to get the darts out of. The come with two sets of flights that are ridiculous for this size of dart. They will be discarded along with the long aluminum shafts, ugh. My first set I outfitted with tiny Unicorn pear flights; they are 10.07, 10.08, 10.08, excellent weight match, as guaranteed, and perfectly balanced. Three in a bed is no problem with these darts, ok two in a bed and one really close.
GBP12.50 for a set, I only bought my first set off kamikersie on a whim, I am very upset to see how they compare against my much more expensive darts.
Why buy so many? I introduced my daughter and granddaughter to darts and ended up promising to buy them a board and darts and they both threw these well considering many beginners seem to need a heavier dart to start with. Plus I have victims at my club who have been drooling at the success of these darts. Of course it is me isn't it? Enough talk!

Third shows a close up of the microgrooves in the scallop, no the darts are not bent that is caused by the add on lens on my iPhone.

Next photo is not a bad close up of the microgrooves:
