20g Nicholsons by Ivefoundgod, on Flickr

Love these, they are very thin which can sometimes make the Treble bed look massive if I hit it with my 1st dart so gives me confidence.

They look nice, too light for me though!

I've gone from 21g to 22g to these and experimented with various weights and shapes. I'm waiting now until my pub league is over to try heavier darts, liking the Beatons I got off you very much so I'm looking forward to puttin a bit of practice in with them when it's over. Sticking with the Nicholsons for now.

Like the look of the Beatons myself, from an aesthetic point of view though really as I'm not sure they would suit my throw. however they are 12.99 at the moment on offer at Argos which is tempting!!

Where do you grip the dart danny? If you hold it at the rear of the barrell there is plenty of grip but almost none at the front. You kind of have to hold them a certain way because of the design which is useful if you find yourself gripping the dart in different places, happens to me a lot with the nicholsons but i've learned to readjust before throwing.

I grip right at the front end of the barrel, which is why the Beatons would definately not suit me. I've just got a set of Mason darts (not opened them yet because the postman delivered them just as I was leaving this morning). the grip on them looks perfect for me and the scallop looks to be in the right place. Can't wait to have a chuck with them tonight!!

what is the diameter and length?

Length is 53.7
Diameter is 5.9

Those are from Dartscorner as i'm not at home, i'll measure them when I get home to double check.

They're great darts, i've had the red rings version before!
If you get tired of them please let me know...lol ;)

I sold a set to USMC and he loves them masons

One of my friends has the Winmau Assault 23g which has a scallop slightly to the rear and he loves em. I couldn't get one with them, just didn't like the atomised grip on them but I did like the scallop. Was looking at the Shot 901 darts and the Devon Peterson darts, could be a birthday present for me

The peterson darts are nice too!

I'm using wades atm, but I removed the black rings so they look cooler. Am I right in thinking the nicho's are pretty much the same? I agree about the treble looking huge if you ht it first dart, which I rarely do tbf!

I have a friend and he swears by them and he won't use anything but them to.

They are almost identical as far as I know except the smooth part at the rear of the Wades is longer. I haven't got a set of Wades to compare but might have to get some in the future. Nicholson used the Wade dart when he started out and based his on them, or thats what I heard.

Same as Anastasia's darts as well!!!

Really? Didn't know that, might have to invest in a set

Yeah, makes the treble look huge if you hit it but its harder to use them as a marker, or thats my experience anyway but then again I ain't too accurate

Do you still have these?
