Evening all,
Has anyone used gripper 3 stems? I'm currently using gripper 2 short stems and I'm having trouble keeping the flights in. I've tried lock rings but they don't make much difference.
Even tried different flights, unicorn flights, thicker flights and they still pop off.
Any suggestions would be welcome

The simplest suggestion is not to worry about it, a flight that pops off the back when it hits another dart means a less hefty deflection and closer grouping. Unless you have a bad back or knees and struggle to pick up the flight then it makes sense to have less firmly held flights.

if you want your flights to stay in then the one80 intelite system is for you , or condors . wizlocks work well to but can still pop of and you can loose the cap . only happened to me twice though

Gripper 3 are for me a huge improvement over gripper 2 they hold flights much better and can be used with a flight punch if you want they are also more flexible and less brittle

Why not use Deflecta nylon plus, punch flight.(not recommended on thin flights)
Put the flight in ones, do keep them fitted also when they are stored.
may all the doubles be with you

Try normal springs in a punched flight on the Gripper 2's. They hold much better than normal slot lock rings.
I've tried using Gripper 3's with punched flights but I get way too many robin hoods.
