Worst Darts You've Ever Purchased/Used
The worst darts i've ever purchased are the Peter Wright Snakebite Mamba II darts. I knew they were too long for me, and I don't like coated darts either. I mean I basically just bought them because the machining on the nose looked cool and they were a really good green colour. Immature decision, eh.
They got sold off when I had a "I'm only keeping barrels I can throw" moment. It was a really good green, though...
The worst darts i've ever used were these horrible heavy, chunky brass darts that took up enormous space in the board. Very inconvenient to play with, although they looked alright from a visual perspective.
My first ever darts (I started in about 1992) were a brass pair but not as thick as the aforementioned ones I used later on. I was more effective with those and my first win in a game came in a pub in Bolton using these darts a few months after I started playing the game.
What's your story?

I forgot about a pair I used in the past, can't quite remember the name, that had really long barrels that didn't suit my grip.
I suppose overtime you learn and discover what darts suit you best.

I bought Mervyn King darts, but my fingers just don't fit naturally where the scallops are. I'm shit anyway but with these ones they kept bouncing out and floated through the air really slowly it was bizarre

Yeah, some kind of a trial period where you try a set of darts you might want to buy for a week would be nice, but this likely wouldn't work due to a number of reasons.TheMalteseDart wrote: ↑Thu Sep 14, 2023 9:06 pm I bought Mervyn King darts, but my fingers just don't fit naturally where the scallops are.

Wouldn't benefit the companies though because they'd get less money due to people trying darts, not liking them and then consequently not purchasing them.
