Dart Stems - Does Length Make A Difference? 

„Generally, the longer the stem, the flatter it lands”. And here it is Luke Humphries saying „ok, hold my beer”

good video, would rather have heard commentary or talking when throwing darts over that obnoxious music on repeat.

Would be great if you guys could did another practice video which wasn't for checkouts. I'm getting into darts and have been watching these videos and look forward to put your tips into practice when my board and darts arrive

Its not about the size of the shaft its how you use it!

I bought g10 taylor darts and found they looked down a lot and hated them. Put short kflex on and looked up but after a month tried for a laugh the g10 shafts and flights again and they were flat with a bit of lift. I now use just use this combo as I now prefer them, so over time my throw has changed.

Surely it’s what you feel comfortable with and can throw consistently.

I also found that longer stems provide more glide for a more controlled throw. With very short stems I found that I had to peg the dart rather than throw it, thus sacrifices accuracy. But that is just my findings. Might be different for other players with a different style of throw.

Last week or two I have been trying to find my optimal stem length. Threw 72% average with short, went to medium and threw a 100% average. I told myself i would throw medium for the next few days (as i have been throwing a lot of short) and the next day i performed very poorly in my practice AND matches. I don’t get it lol

i use intermediates and standard flights and mine land with a small angle meaning I'm able to stack them

Are you saying that a flatter flight is what you should be aiming for?

Can the stance affect the darts and the foot placement

An important questions is how does the player want their dart to enter the board. Now that is a subject for a video!!!!

I always got told if you have a long barrel use a short stem. If you have a short barre use a long stem. Is this true???

I'm relatively new to the game of darts and very much passionate about it. However, I am less accurate

Sometimes my darts pull left. So, the flight is to the right a bit instead of straight. Why does this happen?

do you have any recommendations on stem length for soft tip darts, as they tend to stick straight unless tangling with a previous dart. my barrels are 22 grams. thanks for any info.

Andy what weight and model darts are you throwing?? Can I see please thank you?

unfortunately im in the extremely short camp,juat ask my wife.

I'm relatively new to darts, but i notice I'm less accurate with longer stems.

What annoying Muzak

Stem Lenght and Flight Shape is a massive thing for how the way the dart enters the board. Their either gonna stick up or lay flat or even somewhere in between. I like my darts to land in the board a bit like Luke Humphries. I achieve this by using a Medium Stem and Standard Big Wing Flight. This is always trial and error until you find something that suits your throw. Great content as always, guys. 👏🏻

My girlfriend says length matters but unfortunately I can’t help her with that 🤣 😂

So should you be gripping the dart where the balance point is ,I have front weight mission john oshea darts

Matthew, can you review new molded system Force90? 😊

What angle of entry do you prefer point down or more flatter

Also... my darts/fingers seem to get sticky after I throw for 15 minutes. Even chalk/powder didn't help me get rid of that sticky feeling. I guess it's just sweat or I'm eating too much sugar. Really do not understand it and it happens with all of my darts, no matter the style of grip on the dart.

Stem types have always confused me. Thanks fellas!

I think you guys are listening in on my darts chat as i was only asking about stem length as i ordered the wrong ones lol thank you for the advice and love the channel

cool hands darts don’t land flat 🤔
