| My one knock against straight barreled darts is that I find it hard to grip them in the same place every time. Here is my solution to that age old problem: [img] [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][/img] [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]I put a set of o-rings in the same place on each dart. Oddly enough, once I got used to gripping the dart in the same place, I hit a ton80!! |

| I would actually like to get something designed like that in a lighter weight. I like where that scallop is on the front of the barrel |

| Hey Nucky, does the o ring give you a better grip on the dart as well as getting your fingers in the same spot?
I have seen some cheap soft tip darts that have a rubber grip. |

| Dynastar do rubber grip rings. And they use them for a REFERANCE GRIP. <-----second photo 3rd dart down But I asume they are fatter and for a wide deep grove. I think they are designed for soft tip (maybe the 1's dave was thinking of). Was wondering if the steel tip would penetrate the rubber?
