Hi Guys/Girls. I would like a bit of advice on a set of new darts.
First I use - like 23-24g.
I have a grip well back, end of the shaft.
I am needing an extream grip.( Bad fingers, soft hands.)
I like alonger slim shaft.
Just had a look at, Bottelsen, Hammer head, devastator.Edge grip.(Black steel)
Any advice .

steve beatons ? grip right at the back come in 22 or 24g . grip is good and fly nice

Also Colin Lloyds has an aggressive grip at the back fairly long barrell too..

Hat

Thanks Hat, no grip were i hold on the Lloyds.
Thanks Jamie,the beatons look nice, whats with the points, do they damage the board?

i have noticed a little more where in the board so you need the give the darts a slight twist as you pull them out. i like them though as between that and the grip at the back it gives me exact points to place my fingers for a repeatable grip.

Unicorn Purists or Target Sport both suit you down to the ground my friend

Thanks Big Gun Kev. Having a look. Gets confusing.So many Darts.

also have a look at devon petersen darts . they have a gripped scallop at the back . think they are only 22g though

Because you said this I'm going to recommend you try something completely different. Have you ever tried a smooth dart? Like a Jenkins, Hankey, or Lee Hayes? As many here will say, they offer a surprising amount of grip. But in a different way than a shark grip. It's worth a try if you can find them cheap enough.

Thanks Jamie, I have a set of Devon Petersons. I am happy with them just a bit light.
I have lost 17 kg, lost alot of power, so I (thorght) not as much power, drop down 2 g in the dart.
I borght 3 types, of 22g they all work well, just not my perfect dart.
My helth is better and my right arm is strong again.
Just the fingers have promblems.
I have the storm 24,and have put 5 small o rings on the end of the shaft. It works well,(but) my friends not hapy with the damage on his new board. I could change the points, Still not my perfect dart,Even tryed 3 o rings on a set of whitlocks 24g. The orings dont last long.

JD. Thanks for the advice. I will have a look .

Check these out too, I think they are a great dart:

They are more grippy than they look.

A nice looking piece of work. Thanks GRIP.
Can you tell me if it has grip on the sport 90 logo, this is very important.

No there is not I'm sorry to say, forgot you said you grip far up, they are a long barrel though about 53mm.

Are the Target 90 Sports kind of a copy of Purist Phase 2?

I think the Extremes are, but not the Sprints.

Aussie Kev, I needed an extreme grip at the rear of the barrel as well. A little lighter than what you wanted @ 22g but they are slightly front balanced and fly well.

Martyn's design from the same range also has an aggressive rear grip with a chunky shark grip.

Hey thanks eplea. Nice piece of work.
Strange things happen. I did buy a set,23g. the grip looked better on the foto. Got some one80 shadows. I am happy with, just a bit of wax and they are great to throw.So many darts out there, so hard to choose. What I did learn from my experence is, watch the reviews, ask the advice from members, have a look at the darts from Infiniti darts, they have a 7 day try out.
So if and when I shop again, I will start there. So thank you to all who gave the time, and have an interest to help with advice. So MANY darts,
