| Cool. looks like he finally got himself some new darts.
I roomed right next to him when Witch City was in Springfield Mass. It's last year I think. The darts he had then were about 15 years old he said. All beat to crap. |

| LOL a lot of players have darts like that, guess they get comfy with em, Ted Hankey been a vampire has had his a few hundred years, they were 30g when he started but he has worn em down to 14g now. |

| Wow they look small, the points look longer than the barrel, judging by the way he throws, holding the very front end, those deeper grooves look perfect for One Dart, nice job Grip getting a pic, you are really becoming a Twitter sensation |

| What's the deal with the length of the points on them darts? The dart on the far right is higher up than the other two (barrel wise) but the point is lower than the others. Did Stevie Wonder re-point them for him? |

| Dunno about Bobby Georges darts, but the points do look different lengths on the Manleys

| This may not be the case here but i have and indeed seen on occasion of top line players using graduated point lengths , Shortest thrown first longest last , If you picture the darts in the board if thrown in that order the barrel on the first dart will be closer to the board than the last . Personally i dont see the sense in it but i guess like so much in darts its a mental thing ! A longer point thrown last is more likely to stick in the board in tight grouping situations is the theory i think , Personally if your that accurate that you need to worry about this then you should be able to hit another part of the treble imo |

| Wow. They do look different. Hmm. So.. Darren, find out if they different or not. But then again. The Third darts barrel looks shorter aswell. |

| I think it's just a case of trick photography. Looks like the camera was really close to the 1st dart, down low? Although Manley was known to shoot darts of various weights in the past I doubt these are different. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] |

| All the points are same length Mr Manley said, they are a mock set for him to try.
That may mean they could change in design yet then? |

| I think they could be popular, Manley is a popular player and I liked his original darts so these may sell well, problem is I dont think Manley plays now or does he? |
