Designa - Real Standard Feather Dart Flights - Hand Made in the UK - 2ba - 1 Set (3)

Product Information

These flights have been made to fit on any four-pronged dart shaft, including nylon and alloy stems. The Robson flight itself weighs a bit more than the average dart flight, so that needs to be taken into consideration as you’ll have extra weight at the rear of the dart. We also have a variety of more unique dart flight concepts, such as the L-Style flights, Condor AXE flights and Cuesoul flights. These flights are a 2-in-1 product that merge the dart flights and shafts. This helps to save space and reduce bouncers and Robin Hoods and alter your darts experience. Quality of dart flights

First of all it is important to chose dart flights that match your set-up. Flights need to match your darts, the material they are made of as well as the length of the shafts that you use. The flights have a significant role in the way that your dart will take its flight. This is the main reason why we offer such a wide variety of choice in flights. Our flight do not only vary in prints and colours, but also in shape and used material. As you will understand, especially the last two have a enormous influence on your throw. Therefore it is a good idea to test various flights to decide which type suits you best when you are a beginning dart player. Especially for this we offer a practical flight test kit. Another option for a serious player to take their game to the next level is to go with a ‘dart stem and flight in one’ combination. Made popular by PDC star Jose De Sousa, these are an integrated one-piece stem and flight system, so there is no shaft and flight separation during play. The combined weight of a Condor flight, which uses the premium all-in-one system, is lighter than a separate dart flight and shaft put together. This slight change can take some getting used to, but the benefits are that they will be durable and longer lasting and will allow for closer grouping in the trebles. Popular flight and stem systems include Condor Zero-Stress, Condor Axe and Cuesoul Rost T19. Arrowhead and V-Wing flights both have similar properties to the slim and sigma style of flights, whilst the Vortex flight will behave in the air like a flight somewhere between a pear and standard shape flight. A Vortex flight will provide your darts with a lot of stability, but they are also very narrow, which opens up more room on the board’s surface to group your darts together. A general rule of thumb to keep in mind is that if you are looking for a flight to aid your accuracy, you will generally want to go with slower flights that have a larger surface area. On the other hand, for precision shots that require force and speed, you will want to opt for smaller flights with sharper angles. Dart Flight Material Watch the video below for some tips from PDC professional player Alan Soutar on choosing a dart flight. Increasing Dart Flight LongevitySome darts flights are more suitable than others depending on the level of play. A beginner will usually start with a standard flight, while some professionals might opt for a pear or a kite flight. These flights are smaller than a standard one and as a result cover less of the board, which opens up more room for grouping the darts together. It is a fractional difference but can have a huge impact on a player’s ability to hit big scores. They also fly differently through the air, so give them a try to see what you like best! Hard Plastic Polymers: These flights are manufactured by heat sealing extra-thin layers of plastic polymers. These flights tend to be stiff and relatively durable; however, the moment they rip (and eventually they will), you can say goodbye to them forever since hard plastic polymers cannot be easily repaired. They do offer the advantage of allowing tight clustering because they tend to slide past each other with relative ease. 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. 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 flightDarts 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. Why not go old school with your darts and customise them with some real feather darts flights? The Designa range are made of real turkey feathers and are available in many different sizes and colours to suit your game. 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? 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.

The dart flights the professionals use will vary from player to player depending on their own preferences and playing styles. Most of the top players use a traditional standard (no. 2) or shape (no. 6) flight, but there is a growing trend of players trying out different shape flights to find an extra per cent in their game. There are several examples of high-profile players experimenting with their flights and the changes having a positive impact on their game. Any dart, no matter who the manufacturer is, can be broken down into four main components. These are the tip, the barrel, the shaft, and of course the flight.A Condor flight is also very hardwearing and will last a lot longer than a normal style of flight. Cosmo and Clic flights Harrows Silika Flights are an example of a flight with a dimple texture. Similar to sandpaper, the surface of the flight is coarse which helps to increase its surface area. As a result, these flights will reduce the speed of the dart during flight and stabilise its path during flight. How Your Flight Impacts Your Throw Some flights are now produced which have been embossed with an intricate pattern of tiny dimples across the entire surface.
