| Absolutely the front loaded dart for me. Simon and others seem to do well with them though. 2nd would be the bumble bee types.

| Haven't tried that many shapes but I really thought the RD banshees would suit me. But no, nope, not so ever. They are rear loaded darts? Is that what it's called? |

| I dislike anything that has a bulbous front end. I need a straight barrel. |

| Not a fan of fat darts or straight barrel darts. I don't like any darts with a bull nose as well.
Favorite is slightly front loaded torpedo shape with small cone nose. |

Fat darts blow. I agree, used to love them and only use this kind of shape but gone for the straight barrel and not looked back |

| Any odd shapes. Prefer straight barrel myself. Enamel coatings generally put me off as well and look crap on most darts although there are odd exceptions. Particular horror darts i hate from the pro's include Taylor's foul rosso fat boys,Rasta Lewis's weird and wonderful rainbow darts and King's horrible scollop shaped efforts. |

didnt you just geta set of whitlocks? Top loaded!!!!!! I tryed them and they hate me and I hate them, I seem to get a flatter lye with long strait barrel's with small flights which maked me think that a rear loaded dart with large flights might suite me.

| For the life of me, I just can't throw a straight barrel dart! I've tried and tried with many different weights, flight and stem combinations, etc., and they just flop around like a lame duck! In the past I've always kept telling myself that I needed to learn to throw a straight barrel, because that seems to be the "normal" shape. After all, that's what most of the pro's use! But lately I've been realizing that maybe a straight barrel just isn't for me. So I'm done trying! The darts that seem to fly best for me are the Sigma-type with a tapered nose. |
