These were used for a short time by Steve Brown son of Ken Brown and not the current PDC player of the same name. I have 2 sets actually and they fly very nicely, a bit long at 53mm but they seemed to suit me.

Very nice!!! Back in the late 90's I was getting a small, very small, sponsorship from a Team Durro distributor.
I had soft tips Team Durro's that were exactly the same as those darts. Much lighter though.

Not really sure. I heard that Dave Kelly took it over or had something to do with it, then it kid of went away.

They sure had a good run in the 90's though.

A lot of darts manufacturers seem to have just vanished, Durro were popular in UK in early days of darts.

I have seen places in the past still selling durro darts which are from old stock piles but i guess the demand for them in the end just wasnt enough to keep them going

Yep. That's all I used to shoot with. I switched to slims about 10 years ago. I've seen 1 set of Durro slim flights in my life.

I know they made them, but have never seen any for sale. I'd buy em all if I could ever find them.

Quick funny story...

Years ago when I shot with standard sized Team Durro flights. When I moved to NY and started playing soft tip I switched to slim flights. I was bummed because as far as I knew Team Durro never made them in slim size. My gf at the time told me they did and she said she had a set of slim flights somewhere in her desk drawer. I called bs, because I was very close friends with one of the distributors of Team Durro and he hooked me up with flights, darts, some tournament entry fee's, etc... I was fairly certain they were only made in pear and standard size.

About of minute of searching through her desk drawer I found a couple sets. Slims!!!!! Have not seen another set of them since. And believe me, I've asked everyone in the know. Weird.
