Not that small. I typically play with intermediate or medium shafts

This thread will do...
Took a drive to a darts shop today. Nowhere near the size of the St Helen's shop but good enough for darts accessories. Small and compact is a fair way to describe the inside. The shop seemed to have everything except something quite important when it comes to face to face customer service. It was non existent meaning we left the shop much earlier than planned and I scored the overall experience and service zero. 0/10. To score zero takes some doing and unsurprisingly we won't be going back let alone making any sort of recommendation. I know who had more enthusiasm but not sure who had more darts knowledge, the staff or the mongs at pdc darts events?

FTR, I purchased a flight punch, size 10x flights to try (smaller than normal standard ones,) stems / shafts and those ringy things pictured in OP. Weighed my darts there, 2 darts were 25+, 2 darts were 24+. The 3rd dart in each set had a point broken at the end of the barrel. Before I'd scored the visit I asked about the cost of removing and replacing the darts with new points.

I kid you not, he replied it takes 8 hours with the solution in the bowl to dissolve the point which would cost £200. He justified 8 hours work as he had to keep topping the bowl up ffs.

I was being polite and making conversation having already told him I knew the method required. St Helen's shop charged £3 for replacing old points with new. Daren't ask his price.

I used to have my own darts business at the indoor market in Blunsdon, Was only open Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday but I done more than enough trade to pay the bills and believe it or not...Repointing darts paid for my rent on its own, I would repoint over 30 sets a week most weeks, Had 2 practice boards up and a set of barrels of every dart I had in stock for customers to try.

Repointing unless the point was snapped off at the barrel would take 2-3 mins with the repointer I had unless I had to remove a broken point from a barrel then I would charge an extra £5 for each one, I charged £3 plus the sale price of the points to repoint darts, I even had Ronnie Baxter come to see me there a couple of times.

I honestly don't know how even in todays world someone would dare ask for £200 to remove a snapped point from a barrel....Its a 5-10 min job if you know what you are doing.

You could have taken a drive to my local and I would have repointed your darts for you...Then give you a pasting on the board. :D

Love you Bob 😂 😂 😂

Dave, I don't even know where those broken darts are. Currently using 2x25g darts and a 24g dart. I persevere with darts that seem ok. Why change anything to increase my 60+ running average 😀

Doesn’t post for ages and when DBG remembers the password he jumps all over it, and with a Mitty too, lovely stuff.

Do you use rings and the tips for a flight Dave? As I have always found it affects the way my darts fly.

For over 20 years I have used Alamo stems which are really grippy so no need for rings and also use alloy flight protectors.
