Arachnid Tungsten Soft Tip Darts (18-Gram)

Overall, these are the best darts to date that I have thrown. I am not an expert, but I definitely notice a significant difference since I own several sets of darts.I own several sets of darts, a couple sets of Halex Impact 4.0s (copper plated, 18 grams) and a set of Nickel barrel 20 gram darts. (not high-end darts, more like W-mart specials)Immediately, I notice that the Arachnid is not only thinner (barrel diameter), but also shorter than the others lengthwise by about an inch. Due to its smaller size, it allows for tighter groupings. Since it is made of 90% tungsten (very dense), the dart can still maintain similar weights of larger darts.Since the dart is thinner, it may take a little getting used to on the grip for those with large hands (like myself). After throwing several rounds with this dart, I noticed my groupings became a lot tighter and the flight path truer to what I was aiming at (I actually can hit the bullseye and triples more consistently). If you are a "lobber", you might want to switch the flights to standard size and get a heavier dart (I haven't tried throwing this with a standard flight). This is better suited for "straight" throwing. I don't think lobbing a dart is good practice to begin with.For durability, so far, no tips have broken or flights torn after 20 rounds of cricket (I have carpet, so that may soften the blow). For the review saying that tips broke quickly, its probably because he was throwing the dart at 90 mph, drunk, or terrible at darts (trust me, I've gone through my share of dart tips so I'm just as guilty). Broken tips in no way denotes quality of the rest of the dart. Soft tip darts will always break. They are plastic. Buy a 100 of them. Buy extra flights because they will tear all the time (thin flights last longer than standard flights, in my opinion). If you want to make your flights last longer, buy sturdier flights and/or flight protectors. I also recommend buying rubber O-rings because the barrel will always want to separate from the shaft (metal on metal contact, not just this dart but all soft tip darts).The case is sufficient for traveling purposes. I don't really travel with the darts, so I don't really care much about the case (I have an arcade style dart board at my house). It contains 3 extra shafts, 7 dart tips, a set of 3 thin flights, and a dart tool.Price-wise, The average 90% tungsten dart is around $50 (from what I researched), so I thought these were priced really well.I really enjoy playing with these and I ended up buying another set for my wife. I would recommend these to anyone.

I love my new Darts! These are great for the money!!!!

Compared to other 90% Tungsten darts, these are a great value. The accuracy is excellent! 😁

great price came with all you need

I gave these four stars only because the flights they come with fell apart quick. I now use fit flights and shafts from ninedartout they have never come off since. It was quite annoying having to reattach the flights after almost every throw. The ones I use now are plastic and have not had one issue in 4 months. I have 3 sets of shot darts that cost probably double these and I much prefer these over them. They feel great and are very accurate. I pair these with fit point plus tips you can also get from amazon, I had some issues with the darts not always sticking in my board but those tips are great. I’ve had these since September and their still working great.

I've been playing darts since Feb. and I started with some cheap brass darts. I soon wanted to upgrade for tighter groupings but didn't want to break the bank for a new hobby. So I purchased these for only $30. I loved these darts from the moment I opened the package. The barrels are very slim and have nice knurling for grip. If you've never owned tungsten darts you will be surprised at how slim these are. And the weight feels good. It was the same weight as my brass darts but much slimmer. I do throw tighter groupings now. I can throw two darts in the triple and still feel confident about sticking a third one in.I have yet to find cheaper 90% tungsten darts. So if you are serious about improving your game and don't want to spend too much.. these are probably the darts for you.

Disappointed in these darts for one reason. After every throw I have to tighten the shaft back to the barrel which is ridiculous for the price of these. The $20 12pk of darts I bought do not have this issue due to one smart design. They include a small o-ring. I placed these o-ring on each of the Arachnid’s and now they are worth the money.

After playing with friends and co-workers for some time now I thought it was about time to get a set of my own. These darts have a good look and weight to them the was just a few minor issues that I had.1) The shafts do not fit tight aginst the barrel and wiggle a little, but if you have some o-rings this is a simple fix.2) The grips on the barrel are painted black and the paint begins to rub off after a few hours of play.3) Being 18-grams means that the darts hit hard so if your not a pro you should get some extra tips as well.4) over all the darts are on the better side of "ok" I was just hoping for a little better quality for around $30.00
