In this video I test out different length dart points ranging from 32mm long all the way up to a ridiculous 66mm long! I offer feedback on what I think of the 4 different lengths. Enjoy the video! #Darts #DartPoints #BOOM
So glad I found your vid! Just changed from 32 to 43mm. I've been noticing a lot more bounce outs! Nice hearing you noticed it too. I do like the longer points though. 43mm is probably the longest for me to play with. Thanks again!!
Worldwide; great review. I bought the Designa point tool over a year ago; one of my best dart supply purchases. Most of my darts have the Target Storm 30mm black smooth points now installed. I agree, the silver points don't stick as good as the black points.
Great topic! I have a repointing tool and have gravitated to longer points over time - either 38mm or 40mm. One great benefit of the longer points is that if you use plastic trident nosecones, the longer points protect the tridents from being destroyed by the board wires. I also think it is logical to see that the longer points enable tighter grouping- as your skill level goes up.
Thanks for the comment. Spot on about the nose cones. With shorter points the nose cones get chewed up because of the spider. I also forgot to add that it's probably beneficial for those that use fatter darts to use longer points. Much easier to group 👍
Got a repointing tool for Christmas from my sister :) iv tried 26 mm 32 mm 34mm 36mm iv tried a few lunar ones and now I using 36mm golds atm :) love the options and the way it changes the look of my darts. Thanks for all the vids and knowledge. And happy new years ☺️
I need those darts 😂 think they’ll be one of my next buys once my Pipes arrive. I’ve used 32mm for as long as I can remember, barring a year of using a Target Storm Nano point that was 26mm. I sanded them down so much by the time I switched them out, they were 21mm. Took me a while to even get used to a new set of 32mm black coated points.
Fun video. I just received my repointer and 6 different lengths of points to play around with. It strange how just a couple of mm can change character of the dart.
Awesome video! I have 2 different repointing tools but they're not working for me. I bought some either 55 or 66mm pts (5 sets) but haven't gotten to use them.
Regarding your comment at 3:28, I saw a video on points from Straight to the Point where he said Wayne Mardle buried his points, as well, because he could use them to better guide his follow on darts. Personally, though, I think I’ll try some longer points to see what the fuss is about! Thanks for your videos.
I bought re pointing tool some 18 months ago from darts corner. After watching your video regarding the soft boards, I noticed my darts were entering the board up to the barrel. Took your advice and bought some 38mm points, early days
@@WorldwideDarts hi, re 38mm points. After several weeks I have grown accustomed to the longer length point. I've noticed the darts are entering the board flatter and have a better idea where the darts have landed. I might consider 40mm next time. Could you advise me why my darts tend to land on the low side
Very interested in getting rid of the point to barrel head lip as you suggested in another of your videos. Are all dart points the same / a standard diameter just as dart shafts have a set standard diameter and thread pitch? Also, are the contact area of the taper of a dart point the same as at the barrel head?
An interesting compliment to your Apex point review from last year. I have a pretty full basket at DC now with some of your Best Buy dart suggestions and a bunch of points and stems using your reviews. Keep ‘me coming. Just recently back into darts after a long hiatus. Also learned from you that my Fansteel Black Widows that I’ve had for almost 40 years are a cool set to have. Wish I still had some of my old feather flight darts from the Lord Nelson in SF. Cheers.
Welcome back. A lot has changed in the past 5 years or so and the biggest change is the price of darts. As you from years ago, we had to pay an arm and a leg for the "good" darts. Well at least they charged us an arm and a leg. As you saw with my other video we can now buy amazing darts for $20. Yeah, those Fansteel darts are something special. That was the first set of them I had ever seen in my life. Other than that I only saw ONE picture of them on the internet. Super rare!
Are there longer tips available on the market that smoothly connect to the barrel (like fe. Target Storm)? I've been using 41mm re-grooved Winmau points with Simon Whitlock Urban Grip darts and I'm really frustrated by the gap between point and the barrel. I'm using Trident180s plastic cones, but they are really fragile in my opinion. Could you suggest some alternatives? 35mm+ :) Thanks!
Nothing longer that I know of. You could buy the Red Dragon Trident points and use your repointing tool to remove the metal nose cones and then press those metal nose cones onto longer points
I like a blunt nose dart but I also like a short point . I know a longer point with a tapered nose would give me an advantage for close grouping but I can't make them go where I want them !
Thank you very much but I'm pretty sure I'd get smoked in the PDC. I honestly believe my videos make me appear better than I actually am. I can throw 80 and 90 averages and a few times been in or near 100 but I certainly couldn't live with them.
Those Frankenstein points are ludicrous but I kinda love them lol. One question for you guys though, I have been throwing my old darts, 24g unicorn purist v1, the gold phil taylor ones from back in the day. I love them, especially the grip in my arthritic hands, but after about 30 to 45 minutes my arm and shoulder starts aching like I've been at the gym. Would switching to a lighter dart or 20 to 21 gram with same or similar grip pattern be beneficial? I have a relaxed but moderately powerful throw. I've heard heavier darts are "easier" to throw, but im thinking it's a strength versus effort type of deal. Lighter darts = more effort but less strength needed and vice versa. Any info would be a great help as im looking to order some new arrows. Cheers
Hi Mike, here's my take on that... I do think that heavier darts are easier to throw but... only for a few turns or maybe even a leg or two. Heavier darts seem to be more popular in the USA but look at the format we mostly play, usually best of 3's. Imo lighter darts are more forgiving over the long run. That's why the top 32 PDC professionals use a dart that weighs 22 grams on average. Over the distance a lighter dart is easier to throw. Imagine trying to play back to back 501 best of 11's with a 26g dart. Even though it's only a few grams heavier it might possibly cause fatigue in your arm/shoulder. Again, just an opinion of mine but also found that to be true from a personal standpoint
@@WorldwideDarts thanks for the reply! I agree completely. I thought as much, but I have nothing to compare to weight wise so wanted to ask someone of much more experience. That's about all im doing at the moment it's healthy length practice sessions, much more than even a WDO tournament and my arm is shot after an hour or so. But im addicted and don't know when to stop so yeah lol. Gonna try around the 20 to 22 mark. I trust on your experience with shoulders and arm, I hear you mention dartitis in your videos. Gotta be some of the worst. I lived in England for a few of years and was spoiled for choice on darts and supplies at a good price. I have a store close here in SC that sells darts but it's 80 % soft tip but great for flights/ stems. I just refuse to pay over 100 bucks for steel tip darts I know I can find for a fraction the price over the pond, even with shipping it's drastically cheaper. Thanks to your videos I discovered darts corner, I really appreciate you, your work and your videos. Your reviews especially have helped me decide on what darts. Keep up the great work friend🤘🎯
Any thoughts on why the longer points are making the dart go tail down? I would think the extra weight would front load the dart and make it go tip down.
Long point users - Wright, Devon Petersen (Summer series match against Gezzy Price), Simon Whitlock, Kyle Anderson. I think Gary Anderson also uses longer points but can be wrong. As a front gripper, tried longer points myself... Got more 180s, but overall average went down.
I have a repointer of Bull's but not all points go in as deep. Best point for me is fire point precision machined 36mm. I hold the point of my dart with pinky & ringfinger
does changing a point length from 26mm to 33 have a significant impact on how a dart flies? I plan on putting Harrows Sabre points on a Harrows Predator dart set.
going through your older “points” videos. is that a Livestrong band on your left wrist? i always wear a Livestrong “training” shirt when i’m playing darts. me and a group of buddies still go to Austin every year to do their ride.✌️
Yeah, I've always been into bicycles. Funny enough I've never owned a road bike. Big into mountain bikes, BMX and now e-bikes. I worked at a bike shop back from 2009-2012 mainly for the fringe benefits. Pro deals on parts plus free ski passes.
@@WorldwideDarts funny, it was a cycling accident that brought me to darts. i had a crash 5 years ago where i broke my left hip and collarbone. i was non-weight bearing for 2.5 months and watched everything i could find on TV. then i stumbled across a darts match and got hooked. told myself once i could stand again i’d get a board and have fun. i would practice off and on for the next few years, but once we moved in the fall of 2020 i now have an office where i was able to put up my board and i’m surrounded by my bikes (5 of them).
Hey Worldwide! Been checking this video out again since I'm getting some 50mm points. Could you measure up your 51mm and 43mm points to see how much they weigh? I don't have a weighing scale for that weight. Thanks!
@@WorldwideDarts Cheers! Got the 51's and tried them out for a bit, but so far and right now they feel a bit too clunky for my style, maybe in the future!
I wish they made some stormpoints longer 🤣 42 45 48 50 mms would be amazing , to bad we cant combine the benefits of a smooth transition with a longer point
I really like to try that 66mm points... would use it on the dart pins I borrowed... but the problem is dart clearance doesn't deliver here in the Philippines... what will be my option.. help... anyone...
I need a 7’ point so I can just stick ‘em where I want to, lol. I know, I know, there are regulations. On the bright side, they may stay in the board, even if they fall out. OK, I’ll stop.
His are super long. I'm not 100% sure but I've heard a couple people say MIB points. Again, I'm not sure though. His points have got to be in the mid 40mm rage.
You can have all the skill in the world but it's impossible to overcome the physical size of some fatter darts. But... if you use longer points it keeps the barrels away from the face of the board and you can group them tighter.
Hi I have a problem. My dartboard is fucking loud. I got the blade 5 and tried everything... Im trying to remove the wood part in the back of the board and put styropore instead of the wood.
REPOINTING TOOL, get one!!! I have the cheaper Designa model and it works great. I prefer freeflo points.. bit longer and cheaper. And it does make a noticeable difference on the darts performance. Not all my sets get new points.. but being able to make a set of darts better is very satisfying. Anyone who owns multiple sets of darts should have a repointing tool..
@@WorldwideDarts i bought these !! Thnxs! I have a question. A repointing tool are the all good because of the price differents disgna 50 EUR bull's 129 EUR
I love the out take, yeah it counts. 🫶 It's funny to add the out takes. Maybe from time to time or you could upload some funny out takes, like a best of.
