| 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 |

| 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. |

| 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. |
