I've had a look at them and they are decent mate. The short barrel may correct the problem

Breakthrough, been playing at the old mans most of the afternoon and came across these
barrels.jpg
Can fill up the T20, land straight and more importantly deep!!!!

Now problem is there are only two barrels and the stems are not regular size.

Can anyone recommend a similar set, not sure about the weight but the shape is more important.

Seems like you knew the solution to the problem.

Hope it works.

Knots and Nick were well on the case mate with the advice they gave prior to my tuppeny worth. Seemed quite obvious that the set up was too long and I'd seen you chuck mine which are a lot shorter.

With all the weight nearer the point you should see the problem solved, hopefully! The arrers are in the post now so you should get them tomorrow

Though better than a week ago the darts I found at the weekend are more accurate.

I find 24g a little too heavy, weighed the darts I found and they are 17g. Is it possible I am suited to lighter darts or am I just talking nonsense!!!

Not nonsense at all mate but give them a proper go before ditching them. With all darts we need to get used to them before making a judgement

Will do, but had the same problem with the set I was using prior to this, they were 24g as well.

Lovely darts though and sink into the board a good un.

Takes out the problem of not landing mate and if they stay in the board you're half way there

Yes mate, always seems to be the T20 that lands on the floor.

The shape of the darts is a breakthrough and now I just need to dabble on weight and barrel length/width.

Have taken a liking to Manleys darts.

These are very similar mate, maybe try turning the board if you haven't already?

Its deffo not the board.

Am really happy about finding the shape, both similar sets and both allow the dart to enter downwards.

Got an online game tomorrow morning and will use the ones you sent me.

Best of mate, finding the shape and weight that suit your natural throw will work wonders for you

Aye picked up these old darts at the weekend and never hit so many T20's, problem is couldn't turn them into 180's due to there only being two of them.

Found a site that sells 1/4 size shafts and a place where you can buy conversion extensions. Just need to find the 3rd dart.
