What do you look at when buying a dart nylon shaft?

Eagle Claw Shaft Inbetween Bone White with ring. Eagle Claw shafts are manufactured from tough and durable nylon material with a 2BA thread. The deep cut in the shaft ensures your flight can be pushed well down into the slot which means a greater contact surface. Shafts are fitted with an additional ring to ensure a tight fit between flight and shaft during play and feature Eagle Claw™ icon. Shot Darts Eagle Claw shafts are sold in sets of 3 and are available in 12 striking colors. Measurement: Does not include thread.

When I sell dart shafts they come in different sizes short, inbetween, and med from this company I buy from They are top of the line shafts and will last as long as you take care of them they have a ring to hold the flight on better to the shaft as shafts are selling like this to help the customer out in the long run also so they dont have to buy rings separately. I have found these shafts hold up very well when drop on floor and when hit buy another dart. The price range they are a little bet pricy but the lasting power will make up for that!  You can come into the shop and give the sizes a try to see what you need.  metrodarts.com

How do you buy that dart that you will play with?

First let us look at what  will  a dart consist of ,  the dart point , the dart barrel, shaft, and the flight these components will be a big part of what and how the dart flies . The dart point comes in many links from short to long, the points might be black or silver in color and they might have designs in the point for feel for those who lay the finger or fingers on the point before a shot for grip.Next we move to the barrel this I feel is the most important part of the dart . The barrel is made of different  materials brass, tungsten, nickel and silver. The barrel can be many different colors by what the dart is made of and the paint that might be used. The dart length can make or break a dart it has to be true because it has to balance or the flight of the dart will vary. Lastly you have to have a dart that feels good in your hand thats were rings, grooves, and designs in the barrel might make all the difference.
There is one more thing the weight of the dart. The dart  barrel has to weight just right or you might get tired or the flight of the dart will change because of how hard you throw or how soft you throw. There is a grip chart that you can feel the smoothness or the rigid feel of the barrel that is in your head! Let move on to the shaft there are plastic , nylon, aluminum, titanium ,steel  shafts each has different weights consistencies so you have to try them all to see what works for you each also has different staying powers that is which one last longer and how it holds up to ware. There is color that comes in to the equation also you can get any color of the rainbow. One last thing you have many lengths to chose from extra short ,short , in between, medium, long each will have a affect on the way the dart moves threw flight in the air. Let us look at the next part which you will be buying the most of and that is the flights. The dart flights come in many colors, and shapes like slim, pear, kite, small standard, and standard.They come in different materials also  from fabric, nylon, plastic and much more you have to choose they each have a different endurance time frame. The cost and the styles of the flight are the last two things that you might look at so choose well. I think this gives  you the basic start to pick a great dart!  Have fun and like I aways say come to Metro Darts where you get to try before you buy!!   metrodarts.com

Metro Darts The Good Years.

How many of you know about Metro Darts?  Metro darts is going on its 20th year it has been serving in many capacities, it started out selling goods out of a briefcase than started having its own leagues In a small town of Dimondale it was a 1,500 foot sq building with a dart shop and leagues that went on four 6 years. The shop started to slow down a little so I open a shop next to my home and that's where I have stayed. The shop has grown and now has a web site just to sell darting goods metrodarts.com. I did forget one thing In those years I started to sell and service many of the bars in and out of michigan totaling 45 in all at my highest point this is one of my setup the nuthouse in lansing . I have put on many dart promotions in and threw the state where I would go to tourneys and do sales also shows and a  like. In the past few years I have added disc golf were I sell all disc golf goods but I also design courses with 11 under my belt five that I have done from start to finish! I designed a course that is handicap accessible in atlanta michigan. In the shop I sell goods from MVP, Prodigy, Discraft , and gateway. Some of the things I have done in the sport is had a day in the park were many young people would come and learn how to play disc golf . I also did a time were i would teach class in the YMCA to young people who are just starting out playing the sport. One of the things I took on was a putting league in the summit for 9 weeks it went well starting at 10 people and having 45  when I finished .

Well I just wanted you to know what and how this Metro Darts got its humble start and hope that it keeps going for a long time!

Thank you all for your support!!!

The shop is moving into  a place where it will become a area to

REI Darts from Shot Darts

Ronin Rei Steel Tip Dart Set-90% Tungsten-22gm. A Warrior Bends So They Do Not Break. Ronin is a range of darts for the skilful player. Standout graphics in regal colours echo an ancient Japanese warrior dynasty, that of a warrior with no master. These Ronin lived by a code of discipline known as the Bushido, which outlines eight virtues. The code of Ronin Rei is one of respect among darts players – a trusted ally to be relied upon in the fiercest combat to strike with force and act with honour. Ronin Rei is a swift and stealthy 90% Tungsten premium barrel available in bold, flag-bearing red to command respect. This high calibre dart is centre weighted with an assertive, brick like ‘Masonry Grip’ on the front and rear of the barrel. The mid section of the barrel is encircled by the ‘Gauntlet Grip’ of a swift and deadly pair of shark fins. Sleek, sharp radial edges expose the design’s finer points, while it shears through the air and cuts down the competition.


The rei dart just feels good in the hand the barrel is weighted in the middle of the barrel for the better player !  The rings are staggered in a square all around the barrel quite different from any other dart I have seen .  It has a snub nose and the tips are black to better hold the dart in the board. These darts match the shirt that i just put on facebook you can get this in softip and steel tip 18 gr is the best for softip and steel has 22gr to 25 gr . The price is right and I feel this is great for the better player or one that wants to get better!  

1) flights.  (9) These are just cool flights the color and the picture it shows  these are 100micr  standard small .  flights cost 1.50 buy five  if you buy 20 they go for 1.25.

2). Shafts.  (7)  These are the nylon shaft I really like the way they are made as they hold up even in the toughest situation. Each have a metal ring to keep flight on better.

3)barrel.     (10)  This  is one of the best barrels I have seen I like the square rings the grip as it is one of the finest i have felt! The color of the rings are very nice and subtle and I like the balance of these darts as they are center balanced .

4) Boxing    (7). Shot does a very good job boxing each set but I would like to see better boxing as the darts get better!

5). Tips.     (8).   The tips are black and hold the board very good .

6). price     (9)  you pay more for a better dart so this is no exception don't hesitate  just buy this one if you like how it throws!

7) tungsten.  (9) 90%.  can't get much better than that.

8) company   (9)  Shot does what it takes to make the best of the best and still give great service to me and you !

9) playability.  (9).  These are one of the best  set of darts you can throw  the feel is great the balance is great and i like the color the dart flyes true to were you throw and it gets to the board fast!

10).  All in All.   (8)  If you want the best feel and the best performance these are the darts for you .

Locking shaft system

Good morning all this is Tuesday and i got up a 5:00am got ready to take my wife to work it is a great morning !

I read over my e-mails when i got back home did not have many so I started on the idea of what subject  to  write today .  The coffee is brewing and the smell is fab I can not wait to get that first sip. I guess while I wait for the coffee I will get in that first shower of the day wow I feel great lets keep on with the thought of what to write about . I think most of you who play darts have to have the best set of darts you can afford so lets get them out and see how we can make them better .  Mine are a few years old so lets start at the tips if you have black tips like mine are they fully black or do they show were ? Mine so were so you Know what that means . The second thing you look at is the barrel well I am good there they are only a few years old come on i don't need to change anything on the barrel! Well the third thing is the shaft I use a different one each week, So I just change them up like the color or the shape and yes even what is is made of poly, nylon, alum, carbon well you get what I mean. The last thing to look at is the flight there is so much to choose from poly, fabric, nylon , carbon , and yes even hard plastic that last for a long time! Well i guess thats it no, no no, you forgot the O-rings most shafts have to have o-rings to keep the shaft from coming out of the barrel  or loosing and here at Metro Darts we have the o-rings you need you can buy a 12 pack or you can pay for the 50 pack that has the tool to get these little rings on the end of the shaft. The tool fits over the screw in part that goes into the barrel and then you just slide the o-rings on the shaft and now they won't come off when you are playing darts! Wow that was not  a easy thing to write about but it was a need that most people don't think about I am so glad that I can help were needed if you have any questions and want to Know more about your dart leave a comment below i will get back with you this is jeff signing off  and here at Metro Darts  WE LEAVE THE BULL TO YOU!
