Are the K-Flex actually any good?

The Target K-flex are the most talked about all-in-one flight and stem combination on the market.
But are they any good?
I give my honest opinion and put them to the test against the old school flights and stems that we’re all so used to seeing.
Which will come out on top?
Will they improve your game?
Should you spend your hard earned money on them?

As a Canadian, I just discovered the fun and experimentation of darts about 4 years ago. Initially using tradition dart, stem, flight systems with nothing to protect the stem. I was spending a lot of time purchasing new stems to replace the one I'd robin-hooded. I then moved to the shell-lock system. The shell-lock system required the punching and insertion of a small bit of plastic that wouldn't allow robin-hooding and protected my expensive heavy metal stems. This new all-in-one flight-stem is a gamechanger. Although only a couple days in , I see the benefit and enduring prevention of any damage to the stems. Lets face it the biggest problem with playing darts is the frustration and expense associated with replacing equipment. Im convinced the K-flex are the future of darts for the average player. awesome!

Canadian here too!!! I've been using the k flex no.6 and no.2 for 2 weeks now. The flight is great but not liking the groupings... they don't conform to being hit by other darts. Robbed me easily of a few 180s

I have been using the exact same set of K-Flex medium flights SINCE THEY CAME OUT, and besides a few inconsequential knicks on the top of the flights, they work 100% as good as the day they came in the mail and I put them on (around a 5-7 days since they were first available to shipped to US buys). I also FUCKING HATE having to try and straighten the flights all the time which, as was pointed out in this video, isn’t required with K-Flex or any moulded flights. They are half the cost of Condor Axes and perform the same and hold up the same (yes, I have used Condors A LOT). I think they’re are worth every penny, BUT people are individuals and there are going to be those who prefer the “traditional” flight/stem setup and that’s fine. Thanks for the video, mate, I’m definitely and new subscriber.

Storm points will prolong the life of your k-flex even longer. For me though the condor zero stress (not the axe) is the better product, much more flexible, the flight does actually move out the way when hit by an incoming dart and there are more options to choose from. Nice video though.

I couldn’t disagree more with you on the condor there shocking I have used the standard flights and stems for ever until this year my mate had some condor axe and loved the idea as I’m a target fan boy I purchased a set of kflex and the condor after 2 weeks I got a bounce out and the axe snapped clean off I have had numerous bounce outs with my kflex and there still going brilliant the set of kflex iv got on my darts have been on there 9 weeks Thursday plus the kflex are almost half price

I've been using unicorn fusion for a while. Same all in one idea. One of the biggest things (for me) is it stops me fiddling with and checking my flights between throws. I sometimes used to lose concentration thinking about whether my flights are in tight etc. can't see me going back to traditional flights/stems now.

I do like the k flex and was lucky to get them before the rush, I use the short version. I bought Phil Taylor g10 darts with the tiny flights and found they went into the board flight down, I put the k flex on and completely changed the angle of entry (flights looking up). I have gone back to standard flights that darts came with as they are fun to throw, but when it comes to long life the k flex is better.

@CustomDartCabinets

Here are my thoughts on a brief 1 week period using a similar system (cosmo and Robertson). The hard molded flights fly straighter, seem to eliminate Robin Hood’s and stay true over time. The bad part is hard bounce outs seem more common as flight can’t pop off and allow the dart to continue into the board. In the first 10 days or so I have had several darts bounce back and never make contact with the fibers which is annoying but in general I see these as a superior system for the better flight path

Kflex definitely don’t last 2 months mate if your grouping well and depending on the type of dart your using I put a brand new set on 2 weeks ago and there absolutely ruined. Having said that I would generally go through around £30 worth of standard flights and stems in a month so kflex still works out cheaper and for me makes the darts a lot more stable great review. Enjoyed the video

The score isn't relative, but the distance the darts deflect to is. Also hard or soft deflections matter. Extremely hard to compare, time would tell over a much longer time. Your video shows us there doesn't seem to be too much difference though 👍. I'm going to buy a molded set and see how I get on.

@TheHitman180 3 месяца назад
Have used Zero Stress which I found had less deflections than K-Flex as they were a lot more flexible, however they lasted a month if I was lucky. Then tried L-Style stems and flights and not looked back, especially the spinning shaft, the flights are strong but flexible, the spinning shaft massively reduces the amount of deflection compared to what I was experiencing with the K-Flex. I’m at 3 months on the same L-Style flights, good enough to use for practice still but would switch out for a match. Had 1 Robin Hood in 3 months and I practice daily for 2 hours. No Robin Hood with K-Flex or Zero Stress.

Been using k flex and Condor axe neon and even xqmax fenix on all my setups for months never had to switch out any of them yet until now and i throw like 20h/week. These will last you way longer than any type of regular flights and stems but you should make sure you have storm points or similar to get rid of the edge between point and barell and not overly sharp points and these will probably last u a year+. Not many deflections either compared to anything else from like a ringed normal 100m flight but(!) i use long points and throw fairly hard so . The Flights will scratch up a lot quickly if you throw tight groupings but the shape will still be there if you make sure to use the right points and fairly blunt points. And yeah, see thru Green and blue seems to have a different make up in the plastic than other colours for some reason so they will look worse quicker than other colours😅 Last but not least if stiffer flights is what you like try any integrated ones, They will surprise you on how straight they fly ^^. Would bet that Condor axe neon will last you even longer and they are stiffer as well but more expensive.

Is this a joke? You can buy normal stems and flights for 50p a set. Half of those weren’t even deflections. I’ve got cosmo flights over a year old and stems literally multiple years old. They offer nothing new over 1970’s all in ones. I get it, if mentally you think they work for you then go for it but pretending they are better somehow than anything else is just untrue. They are a massively expensive gimmick, as are cosmos BTW though they obviously last longer.
