Product Information

Fast flights tend to be longer than slower flights and typically have a reduced surface area; this results in increased airspeed due to a more efficient aerodynamic profile. In other words, fast flights cut through the air more aggressively than their slower counterparts. There is plenty to think about when it comes to choosing the perfect dart flights. A dart flight, whilst small in stature, plays a crucial role in how a dart travels in the air and where it will eventually land in the dartboard. A slim flight tends to be used by only a small number of players, including Phil Taylor. These flights make the dart travel faster in the air, but they require the player to throw the “perfect dart”. Any misthrow will force the dart to over-rotate and lose speed. Looking for something a little more personalised?

Players who use heavier darts are most likely to benefit from using flights with dimples, as the flights will help to reduce any wobbles during its trajectory to the board. Using dimpled flights with a lighter dart will most likely lead to you throwing your darts harder. This is because the dimpling effect on the flights makes the dart drop earlier than usual whilst in the air. Darts manufacturers have created some new innovations to update the traditional flight and stem combination. Condor flights feature an all-in-one unibody flight system with the flight and stem already connected. A Soft Plastic Polymersflight is similar to one made of hard plastic polymers but is significantly less brittle. This type of flight will tear or bend a lot more easily, but the softer plastic means you can heal any small dents or imperfections that may occur during play.A flight’s weight is measured in microns and mostly come in 75, 100 or 150 microns. A 100 micron flight is the most popular choice. A 150 micron flight is the heaviest of the three and is a lot more durable. A 75 micron flight is more intended for beginners as it is a better value option and can be easily replaced, but they don’t last as long. What to look for when trying to find the best dart flight The size of your flight is directly related to the surface area of the fin. Remember that, just like it happens around the wings of an airplane, surface area increases air drag. So, the larger the flight, the more pronounced the resistance through the air, which translates directly to a slower, more parabolic path. However, you’ve learned enough about the various characteristics; I am confident in your ability to do so.

Former Players Championship winner Ryan Joyce opts for his signature Mission pear flights which perfectly suit his own 21g Mission darts. A pear shaped flight tends to work better with a lighter dart (22g or below) and Joyce has found that his darts now travel faster through the air and the smaller shaped flights cover less of the target. Once you have thrown your dart into the board, the flight is the closest part of the dart to you. When you throw your next dart, there is a good chance you may hit the dart that is already in the board, and the flight will take the brunt of that collision. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of options on the market for each one of these components. Therefore, there exists an intricate interplay between these four variables, and it has a profound and immediate influence on a player’s accuracy, precision, consistency, and overall skill.Soft Plastic Polymers: These flights are made out of flexible plastic layers, similar to the hard polymers but significantly less brittle. Soft plastic polymers tear or bend more easily than those harder versions. The soft plastic also allows you to smooth out or heal small dents or imperfections that may occur. You can use them to share with the world who you are or what type of darter you are. You can get your favorite sports team, a happy face, flames or just plain, the choices really are endless, and if you still can’t find what you are looking for, you can even design your own.
