These darts have been great. I bought them as a spare set because I did not want my friends using my $80 set of darts. What I found out was these throw just as good and have about the balance. What is different is diamond cut nurling found on the more expensive darts.

I use these darts just for casual games at home and they work great. They have a nice feel and weight. They seem to be durable, they have hit the concrete floor a few times with no damage.

Good:
I've been playing in a once-a-week darts league (which isn't very serious) for the past few years, and finally decided to get my own set. These are great! I've been using them for a number of weeks, and I really couldn't be happier with the darts themselves. I was hoping for the heaviest set, and was lucky enough to get them (1 in 3 chance). The darts are much heavier for their size than the cheaper darts most people use, even the $15-$20 ones that many of my friends own - this is a result of the Tungsten. (i.e., since the barrels are made of a dense material, they can be heavier with less bulk). The result: Heaviness = less likely to bounce off or fall out of the board; Skinniness = darts block eachother less, so getting 3 triple 20s isn't impossible :)

They came with extra flights (fins), and extra shafts, both of which are a different color than the ones that come on the darts. Mine have Fiery-Red & Silver flights, and have Solid Black & Solid Silver shafts. The little tool is a nice touch.

Bad:
The case is bulky and plastic. I'd have much rather'd a smaller and softer nylon case. There's no way I'd ever actually wear this on my belt, unless I was just trying to be silly.
The extra shafts are mounted on a little plastic bracket, which is attached to the inside of the plastic case with small black metallic screws (similar to the ones in the bottom of your laptop). The plastic stripped out very quickly, and I barely ever touched the flights/bracket. These are just complaints about the case though, the darts are fantastic.

Bottom line:
If you're picky about your dart's weight or size, then find a place (hobby shop?) where you can pick them out by hand. I didn't really care though, since I'm not a very serious player. Again, the darts are great and seem to be of high quality: even after being dropped a number of times, or ricocheted onto the hard floor, they're still in good shape. Simply being able to use the same darts every week really helps your game. My team is tied for 1st out of about 15 teams in our little league now!

Edit:
People also comment on how smooth they fly, and I agree. Good balance.

I was pleasantly pleased with these darts. They have a good look and a good feel.

For about $25, these darts feel very nice. I received the 26 gram just like the picture that was sent in. You have a chance of 20, 24, and 26 gram on these. I personally think the 26 gram weight is too heavy, and I would have prefered the 24 gram. The darts are very smooth and well made and they have 'Nodor' engraved on them which is pretty cool. Overall, these darts seem just as nice as a $50 set of similar darts that my friend has, and the case is big enough to easily hold three extra sets of shafts and flights. The dart tool has also come in handy quite a few times as well. For a decent starter set, I'd recommend them.

I got these for my brother inlaw for his house darts. I used them for an hour and liked them very much. I will order some more for me.

These darts are decent over all. The removable needle portion on one of the three I purchased tends to loosen very quickly and needs to be re-tightened after every toss; the other two seem fine. They come in a handy carrying case along with a few replacement flights.

Sent me the wrong item, too much trouble to replace it. I wanted the one's listed here but the seller sent me a different kind.
