Just got these in the mail today. Always wanted to give them a go. Karl from A180 threw on a set of Storm Points for me and I have to say, they fit better than I thought they would. Perfect fit!! I will def be putting a set on my silver Hankey's.
Shot with the new Hankey's for a few minutes and I have to say, they are WAY more slick than the silver ones!! After 10 minutes they never warmed up to my hands like the silver ones do. The silver ones have a lot more grip than these. Funny, as you would think it would be opposite.

They are a nice dart


Had them in Soft tips before and I liked them, but had to sell them.
Will try and get a new set of those later on

Did you have these or the silver ones?
I would highly recommend the silver ones if you get another set.

I had the atomised

The light Guru has spoken. They are slippery . On a scale of 0-10 O being a great grip to 10 I dropped the damn things again! what are they!

yeah good fit with the storm points

Go with the silver ones next time. When they warm up to your hand they have a surprising amount of grip.

Atomised are a 0 to 1. The silver Hankey's are a 1, but after 10 minutes of playing they improve to a 2.

nice pics though JD

silver ones will look so good with the storm points ! i'm so getting a set when my ebay stuff starts selling. i'm gonna get the 14 gram ones to see what all the light dart fuss is about

Got to admit, I have only ever used A180 once, for some old style Winstanleys that I wish I had kept - I always us Puredarts online, however after looking at the website I never realised how near to me A180 is - literally 15mins drive!

So after a small win on the football yesterday I am going to have a drive over to Karl's and pick up a new dart board thus saving on delivery, I may also have a look in the bargain bin and see what goodie are in there.


BTW, I have always been put off those atomized darts due to them looking like those horrible machina darts Unicorn made, hope they hold up better than those did


Great pictures BTW JD!

Hahhhaa, will do, I just checked route planner, takes 20mins to Ikea in Warrington, A180 is a fair bit closer so 15mins max, honestly can't believe I never looked before, I have driven past the road where Karl's place is at least half a dozen times in the last 12 months

The points will add a little bit of weight to your 14g babies after a few weeks the atomised grip becomes even more slippy ive dropped a few of these at the oche
I still love these darts the barrel shape is perfect for me hopefully a little bit of bear grip makes them even better

Yeah, these are a bit too slippery for me. Nowhere near as good as the silver ones.

1st one out of the way. Flights went flying on darts #2 & 3.

Nice looking darts mate and those storm points look sweet.

Lovely Hankey darts. The smooth storm points made them even lovelier.

I'm surprised the atomised grip on the Hankeys made them slippy. Had no problem with the atomised Andy Fordhams, probably because they were placed in grooves.

Thanks for sharing!

Wait till you have used them for a couple of weeks. They are like wet soap in your hands!
I had to sand mine down to bare metal so I could use them.
The silver ones are the best best, but copper tungsten are even better!

JD, Do sweaty hands help the grip on the atomized ones? I use the silver ones and once my fingertips get all sweaty the grip goes all the way to a level 4.

Nothing helps the atomised ones. It's like holding cardboard. They never seem to warm up. Just an awful coating. Way to slick for this type of barrel. The silver ones are 100% better as far as grip goes.

Nice darts mate, I was looking at getting some 14g Hankeys and wasn't sure whether to go atomised or silver, you've helped me make my mind up

Glad I could help. I would recommend having Storm points put on. They fit perfect for this dart. I threw with them for an hour last night and didn't even have 1 mark on my flights. The money you save in flights will more than pay for the points.

Ill see how I get on with them first, I throw 20g at the minute so tempted to see how I would be with something even lighter
