| I have spent money on a punch and cap system, worked well for a while. However it only takes one time and you are out of a cap.
I have tried crowns, and rings and again it takes one fail and you are out...
not sure if my shafts are not correct?
I have noticed certain shafts have a deeper flight groove and I try to stick to these.
I was admiring the Puma set...what is that set up called and does it hold up?
Thanks for reading and thanks in advance for any advice and ideas
BTW Grip, I did watch your reviev for the one80 system, is that holding up? |

| I use whizlock caps and find that a generic brand stem is ok. I have lost 2 caps so far and both were my fault. They popped out when I was putting a new flight on. |

| I'm using the L-style champagne system and I can't say enough good things about them.
I've been using the champagne kites on a set of standard nylon shafts, and in two months of using them I've not had one flight pop off, not had one robin hood, and they still look brand new after 2 months of 2 hr/day use (though this durability is probably due more to my Storm points than anything). Awesome!
(Also, the L-style system seems to be slightly cheaper than the Cosmo because you need proprietary shafts to use the Cosmo system) |

| I prefer the look of the blue shafts. I like a solid looking shaft.
Some nice blue flights would look great on them.
The DartsNutz flight would be a great flight for them. lol |

| I use Cosmo's as well and can't give the spinners enough praise.
That said, I also use the L-Style Shell Lock rings. I played with the idea of the Wizcaps but after reading some comments on a slightly loose fit I went with the more expensive set-up. Love them! Slim chance of one ever falling out. If you live in Australia (mobile version of the forum doesnt give locations, sorry) I'd be happy to punch a set or two and send them to you to try out. |
