It's a decent set of darts. The flights in the picture are not the ones I received. Flights also split and broke relatively quickly, had to use a replacement set. The entire length of the dart is coated in black paint, and will slowly chip away after moderate use. This was most noticeable on the steel tips where they puncture the dart board. My darts actually crashed into each other and caused part of the shaft to break, right where it holds the flights. Overall, they do a fine job and are worth $15.

I'm not a pro at Darts but these just suck. I got them as a gift and almost immediately ordered another set of darts from a different manufacturer. Don't waste your money. They feel like crap when you throw them and the shaft's unscrew too easily. Flights also come off too easy. Invest a little more money in a better set. Fine for a backup set through.

I ordered these darts because they were "recommended" to me by Amazon when I purchased the Winmau Blade III dartboard. I suppose they're not bad, but I wouldn't recommend them to serious players at all. The shafts come loose from the barrels far too often (about once every two or three throws) and you're constantly having to re-tighten them. The weighting balance is decent and they fly mostly true, which is the only reason I gave these darts 3 stars. If you're buying them because of the flights, you're wasting your money, partly because you can just buy flights on their own for cheaper and partly because they don't come with the flights that are pictured. Not to mention, they're brass darts, which are the most bulky darts available, and give you the least advantage in tight scoring situations (like grouping 3 treble 20's).

This is a decent set of darts to have for your friends and family to use, but anyone who is buying them for personal use would be much better served spending a little more ($25 or $30 at least) to get a set of tungsten darts.

One shaft was bent quite a bit straight out of the box, while another was bent just a little. I also would need to immediately purchase o-rings since two shafts (including the not bent one) have zero tightening ability to the barrel. Flights are absolutely nothing special quality wise. This set of darts is positively a waste of money, and now time. My collection of freebies, cheapos, and my heavily used freebie cheapos included with my dartboard set are all better off at this moment than these wallet vampires fresh out of the box. Ugh. Going back.

It says "Set comes complete with attractive travel and storage case" in the description. It does not. It came in a plastic wrapped package that has each dart set into a cheap felt coated plastic. Other than that, the product is as advertised.

One of the darts was poorly manufactured and there was a very noticeable lip protruding from the dart where the front and back screw together. The flights started to fall apart after a few games. Stay away from these darts and this manufacturer. How simple is the design of a dart that they can even succeed in manufacturing it that poorly? You'd have to assume they did it on purpose. They have no quality assurance.

I ordered this model, but I received darts with a different design on the fletching. One I like a lot less. I don't care enough about some darts to go through the hassle of going to the post office to send them back, but it makes me think next time I will get darts in a brick and mortar store where I know what I order is what I get.

Nice dart set for the beginner,My son has had really alot of fun with this set,it's balanced perfect and as he says they look cool.I'm happy with it (anything that gets him off his computer).

I can not say I am a professional, or even good for that matter. I bought these darts for my college apartment. The look really nice and grip very well. The black paint scrapes off after a while, but that is to be expected. I've hit the dartboard staples multiple times and the tips hold up. They start sharp for quite a while. The flights come off quite readily though. I had to replace them within two weeks of use.

I am no dart expert, but I liked the fact that these darts had a steel tip & an aluminum shaft (vs. that plastic shaft that breaks all the time). These throw just fine and make a good addition to the office dart board. Highly recommend for the average dart player on a budget.
