Darts accesory duration calculation
Ever wondered how long your darts accessories are meant to last? It's not the same for everybody of course, but I have used the same set of flightss and stems for about 3 months, they are now starting to break and become unusable. I play about 3 hours a week. 3 (hours per week) x12 (number of weeks). 48 weeks in a year, so 4 sets of darts accessories personally last me circa 144 hours.
I wonder whether I should change my flights and stems more often? Obviously using less flights and stems minimises cash spend.

Very interesting. I usually change them when they are damaged.
In future I might start calculating how many hours of usage they have had.

Re: Darts accesory duration calculation
My currently ones are knackered and in desperate need of a change but the flights and stems still stick together so I can still play. I haven't really thought about changing them until lately.
Plus i've got no flights or stems left..

You do see Pro's regularly changing their equipment quite often, although that's likely due to them tending to play for many hours a week.-

Most of them chuck them away after a game, also I don't think they order 10 sets from red dragon every now and again just to tide them over.

Re: Darts accesory duration calculation
I have always kept my spares well stocked, Even points I make sure I have at least 5 sets and 2 spare broken in sets of barrels, I always take a spare set of barrels with me to comps and plenty of flights and stems.
Because I use alloy flight protectors my flights do last quite a lot longer than without them, I tend to always use brand new flights at the start of a comp and change them when they have a bit of wear on them or after a couple of matches, I then keep them for practice at home, Stems I use I only need to change them if I Robin Hood them or they are too worn to grip the flights.

Re: Darts accesory duration calculation
Just changed my old stems and flights., turns out I had a spare set in a box. Darts seem to be going in better now. I don't think this is a coincidence.
