Just wondering (also hoping this is the right section)

What is the name of the small dart that seems like it is just a long point with a piece of metal around the middel like a collar (must be grip section) and flights at the other end?)

Seen them somewhere, look interesting. Just havent a clue what they are called or the age of them

Voks Mosquitoes? Don't know how long they have been around but you can still get them from the US

Here's a link if it is the Mosquitoes you mean

Thanks mc... yes they are them.

Was just having a look around and saw them.. dont know if people actually play with them though.. any idea?

As in Tournament Darts

they are supposedly meant as a training aid, but not really sure how they are supposed to help in that respect, they never came with any info.

would be easy enough to make your own really.

Thanks Darren!

Interesting as I said but cant see how they can be a training aid

I think the minimum weight for tournament play is 10g, so these would be too light.

As far as the training aid part is concerned I think it means if you can get all 3 darts to stick in the board consistently then your throw is good - if they fall out or don't stick in then your throw needs working on.

interesting mc.. would make the arm muscles stronger anyway.

Having said that there are a few people I know besides Jd who throw light darts.. one guy throws 10.5grams in league!

have you throw with these and what are they like way to lite for me look like nails gold ring
but in saying that i use to be pretty accurate with those tinny novity darts

yes I have thrown them, I can stick them all in the board but cant hit a T20 with em.

Not sure where the minimum weight rule rumor came from. I've heard it plenty before. I checked the BDO/PDC site and found nothing on a minimum weight. Plenty on a maximum weight, length rule though.

Guess that is the same with the Unicorn Golden Match darts then that are approx 4/5grams
