| Subject: My Cosmo collection Sat Jan 21, 2012 7:30 pm | |
| I got the idea for this thread while looking at another earlier - here are some pictures of my Cosmo collection. Here is my collection of kite flights and 23mm spinning stems - the darts are my first set of customs: [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Here are various signature flights and some more stems - the John Part's at the top are my favourites of these: [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]The various other shapes I have tried out - the only ones I really hate are the slims, and not too sure about the pears, I find all the others ok though: [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Since taking the above pics I also got hold of some sets of the new Rocket Inside shaped flights and also of the Fit Shaft Airs - I love the 2-tone Fit Shaft Airs: [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]I also got some more signature flights at the same time - these are all Japanese players. The skull ones at the top say "The King Is Here" lol: [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]I also have the Fit Shaft Air's in yellow, green and clear black - here they are on the Kong golds, Jamie Lewis Rastas and Kong silvers: [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Finally I also have a set of kite shaped Delta flights - here is a pic of a max I hit with them: [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]As you can see I am a bit of a Cosmo addict |

I think I've actually got 5 or 6 more sets that I didn't take a picture of lol. As for the two tone stems, they are spinners. |

| great collection you got there mc! the john part flights are my favourites as well, maybe cause im biased haha.
the other thing i've noticed is how much darts has changed me. i was looking at those pictures and thinking of the prices involved, but then i remembered i'm also a road cyclist who rides on a 300 dollar seat :o. |

| Before I took the game back up I used to spend loads of money on cd's and dvd's each month - now I just buy darts or accessories instead, and I think I actually spend less on this hobby.

I'm guessing it may be a little more than that but I'm not sure I should check lol. As for the JP's, sorry but they are my pride and joy, followed closely by the 2 tone stems lol. If you are desperate for some though then AAA Plus Trains & Darts in Ohio sell them, along with a few other Cosmo bits - here's a link to the JP's: http://aaaplustrains4u.com/codahispflsy4.html |

| Very good collection and a like the idea behind the stems and flights its just price puts me off buying any more and the reason a went to my tried trusted med deflecdtagrip stems and extra hard 100 micron strenghth flights
But the price of Cosmos would have to go right down more so for me and fellow Edinburgh and Fife darters to buy ive found out ..But ye very good collection you have there ..
Mc .. Dae ye have a part in the Cosmo business by any chance m8 ;) |

| Thanks Grip! Will check it out Mc: It was the 31mm I tried, and they were too small to be compared with a medium sized stem. But I think I will try the 38 mm cosmos |

| Mike, I know ya were the 1st of us Cosmo fans to get the Rockets a while back. How did you get on with them? I've been playing super shapes and wonder if the difference is that they taper on the outside edge where the rockets are straight, and maybe a bit rounded on the top? |

| I'm trying the Super Shapes at present, and I cant make up my mind if there is much difference between them and the standards. |

| Well I can believe the rockets might not be any major difference from a s. shape as very similar.
As to Grip and the standard comparison to s. shape I found the shape didn't flutter like the standard did regardless of stem length, and being slimmer I wasn't deflecting off them near as much. What length stem ya using Grip? |

What length stem ya using Grip? I'm using short stems, 18mm I think, but the Target Sprints are 53.9mm long and 23g, which is a long dart for me as the scratches on my nose testify! I tried kites last week and they seemed to dip a little, but worked a bit better when I threw with a little more force. This week I have been using the Super Shape but have to admit my throw seems a little off this week, so may not be a good time to judge the effect of the different shaped flight. I'm just trying out all the shapes of Cosmos I have, may try the Fantail next week. |

| I mainly use the kites in matches, but I didn't notice any difference between them and the rockets to be honest. I'm really into the clear Air flights at the moment so may even order some of the clear or clear sparkle rockets depending what bonus I get next week lol |
