| Looks like you will need another hole punch for this as well - here's a small video of how to assemble it: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Can't see me trying this one |

| After seeing that it seems too much of a faff on, don't think I will bother either. |

| I love them, currently contemplating the Whizlocks after using the slot rings for 18months or so but if the price was right I would definately go for the Intelite. I think its a great idea, but like Grip says, looks like a bit of messing about, jury's out for now. |

| looks interesting. the system offers a flight protector and a good locking system. i'm curious if it could reduce robinhooding. haven't seen an actual system here. but i'm currently happy with the usual flight punch system using regular flights and stems. here's another how to video, which uses a flexible shaft instead: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] |

| Very flexy! the only thing that bothers me about the stems is they seem fat in the middle and very thin at the ends, strange shape. |

| I took the plunge with these and decided to order a punch and 2 sets of stems (1x short and 1x medium) - the courier man dropped the package off about an hour ago. They cost me approx €25 including postage.
I didn't bother ordering any special flights as I've got loads of old flights, and for the rings I used plain stem springs.
The springs were a bit fiddly to get on, but once on the actual stem itself is dead easy. Just had a quick 5 minutes throw with them and they fly straight as you would expect - and I can't see there being many (if any) robin hoods with this system.
The only downside as far as I can see at the moment is how to take it apart to try a different flight combination - but there may be an easy way to do this that I haven't sussed yet. The only other option would be to get some more sets of stems, which I ain't gonna do!!
The stems seem to be quite strong, and if they was an easy to take apart them apart to change flights then I could see myself using this system if ever I wanted to use normal flights instead of Cosmo's. |

| Ah so they tempted you then Mike, they haven't really floated my boat as such, I thought they seemed a bit clumsy in putting them together, not sure I would buy them to be honest. |

| As I said they are dead easy to put together once the spring is on the flight - that bit is a lot of faffing about lol - but I can't work out how to get them apart to try some different shape flights. If I could do this then I may have bought another set of stems for spares and used them occasionally - but it will work out far too expensive to get a new set for each set of flight. As it is I'm glad I took the plunge for the experiment - but inconclusive results as far as I am concerned so won't be getting any more. One thing I would say though, the shop I bought them from in Germany were damned quick in getting them to me. I ordered them on Sunday and the courier people tried to deliver them to me on Wednesday. I'll most likely be using them again as they have some nice looking darts lol: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] |

| Yeah I have bought from Germany and they are very efficient as can be expected. |

| Probably not the best flights to see them with, but this is what the stems look like on the darts - this is my 300th of the year as well, hence the photo lol [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] |

| Must have been feeling weak yesterday lol - a little bit of tugging and the stems do come off - so more positive on these things now. Still won't change over from Cosmo's but I may get another set of these now I know they come apart for when I want to use normal flights. |
