| Not the stems fault really as I had many pop outs on concrete and was too lazy to scuff me points. |

I got loads of nylons and to be honest nylons are great. However this is me hobby and gonna try other things. never thought I would use spinners, now I do. I have always used standard flights now trying pears (your advice) and the mini standards. I always used medium or inbetween stems now going short stems. I don't go golfing or fishing every week soo actually this hobby cheap in comparison. Hell I know golfers who spend at least a 100.00 per week. Fishing, I bought a boat 10k,rods and reels another 1500.00 ,plus oil,gas, bait,lures boat up keep. Hell darts cheap man. |

| I have broken a couple of stems, my stems seems to break after about 1-2 weeks, and thats not fun, so thats why I'm back to Nylons, sure they break also, but not in the same rate, and they are much cheaper then the cosmos  But the cosmo design are quite smart and innovative, but they are not for me =/ I also wreck my flights quite fast, so thats another big cash-burner. cheerio! |

| never tried any setup specifically designed to spin. just too expensive, and i can replicate a spinning shaft with regular nylons by loosening it a 1/8 of a turn. just snug it and back it off a little.
the mini standards are great especially on shorter barrel darts, they take some getting used to at first but they really open up the view on coverups.
@mac-go ahead and invest in a kegerator, a well to do friend of mine has 2 one for guinness and one for heini's. it's the tits! |
