DartsNutz Darts Review – Red Dragon Sumo Darts
This is a nice looking dart and quite a good
one to throw for a front gripper. I think like I said above that it may
have suited me more if the black ring section was may be another 4-5 mm closer
to the nose but on the whole it was nicely balanced with a front grip and threw
quite well. It may feel a little strange at first having that thicker
section there but you get used to the feel after a few throws and it also makes
it easy to locate your grip when taking the darts out your hand.
Sometimes I got a little bit of fishtailing but I think on the whole they
flew nice and steady through the air and I quite liked the shape of the flight
but occasionally I seemed to drop them a little lower than expected.
I was very surprised that when I tried the
rear-ish grip that they seemed to fly rather well too, so it is possible they
could work very well for a naturally rear (ish) gripper is you like a slightly
front weighted dart. Also if you grip just past the black ring grip
section the barrel kind of steps down a little which gives you something to
push against from a rear-ish grip.
Overall the darts are nicely made and there is
not a lot can go wrong with the grip design as its a tried and tested thin cut
double ring on the thick section, so works well
Its a dart that may feel a little strange at
first but after you play with it a few times it you soon get a feel for it and
it rewards you well, definitely worth a go for front grippers but may suit some
rear grippers too.
