I've noticed that my darts are loosing grip and also loose some (little) weight. The loosing of the grip sometimes causes that I had bad throws. The darts I'm using at the moment are these [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] (16g, 80% tungsten, lenght around 50mm). Consider that barrell are consumating, and I want to buy another set, but I'd like to switch to a most heavy darts also to use that to play steel darts.

What darts do you sugget to me? Optimal weight will be around 18/20g, and I feel quite good with that barrells so I'd like a set not too much different from these.

If it can be useful, [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] is my grip on darts.

They also do them in gold and black coatings, a little more expensive though.
