Hmmm, not sure how that one works, the ridge at the left hand arrow would surely attract a few hits from points?
Unless theres another part to it.

I have a feeling that there is some special flights to go with it maybe?

Here is the rough translation:
L-SHaft" is a product of self-confidence is the last of the shaft system with L as the name. An insertion section is easier to attach the wings even though the first feature of nervous even though drunk, when the grouping is to fine-tune has barely come off as you hold the feather firmly. The second feature is the "Flight Guard" to protect the root portion of flight. Significantly delayed root portion was torn from the weakness of Flight-L, was succeeded in the long life of the flight. Actual strength of the shaft body is "L-SHaft" because there is should help to reduce stress to the limit in the game originally

Ah, yep, sounds like a special flight, will keep an eye out for a complete picture, flight and stem, looks interesting.

A normal L Flight is used with this shaft - that isn't a ridge at the top - have a look at this video with Scotty Burnett - looks good to me

interesting video, thanks for sharing, mc1958!
the shaft looks well-designed for soft-tipped darts. so far, with my experience with L flights on steel-tipped darts, the flights get damaged due to the tips. i'm not sure if the shafts are going to help the flights from getting ripped, maybe delay the inevitable?

yeah that makes it more clear now, cheers Mike!
I think its like an extra shield for the leading edge of the flights, however the rest of the edge of the flight could still possibly get damaged. Also soft tip darts are usually 20g or less so need to know how this will work with heavier steel tips.
I do like the idea, also like the design of the top of the shaft the way they have made it fit more snug into the caps and easier to insert flights.
Will have to wait and see how much they charge for this, but think I will give it a go at some point.
