Yes I have tore up some flights when replacing thema couple times you just to take your time and "pre-load" the flight the problem is cut to a minimum.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402224.post-1134133771987700272005-12-09T05:09:00.000-08:002005-12-09T05:09:00.000-08:00I have seen the slickstick in the local sporting g...I have seen the slickstick in the local sporting good store and I was very tempted to buy a set but I didn't because it is so close before Xmas. Perhaps after the holidays I will try a set. My feeling is that they were designed with the standard flight in mind and that my CPF will shake loose. <BR/><BR/>And the indestructos seem like a pretty good idea but I have heard it is a pain in the rear to get flights into them because they do not give any at all. I have a set of wire stems like that and only very thin flights will work in them. I cannot even use dimplex flights in them.Zeeplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17217303030920572083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402224.post-1134124817412226722005-12-09T02:40:00.000-08:002005-12-09T02:40:00.000-08:00What's the big deal with everyone and the slik sti...What's the big deal with everyone and the slik stik? All it is,is a nylon shaft with a permant flight protector. Big deal that all you have to do is slide the flight through the slit. They wrap way to easy and once that happens the shaft looks like big eye of a needle. Even though expensive, I think that the Indestructo Shafts are one of the best. The only problems are they will not take nylon flights and you have to make sure that you "pre"load new flights before you put them on. Which means putting the flight into a set of shafts that have a wide area at the top. Let the flights stay that way for a couple of minutes before putting them into the indestructo shafts. I usually have 1 set ready to go prior to shooting in a match.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402224.post-1134109386395867882005-12-08T22:23:00.000-08:002005-12-08T22:23:00.000-08:00Ditch them spinners and make the switch to the bes...Ditch them spinners and make the switch to the best flight system out there...The Unicorn SlikStik Aluminum +<BR/><BR/>http://www.a-zdarts.com/shft/slstal.asp<BR/><BR/>I've tried ALL the spinners out there, and IMO, this is a better option...and more durable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402224.post-1134075100681206672005-12-08T12:51:00.000-08:002005-12-08T12:51:00.000-08:00Next time Im in the store Ill double check the pri...Next time Im in the store Ill double check the price if they are still thereAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402224.post-1134070991317678232005-12-08T11:43:00.000-08:002005-12-08T11:43:00.000-08:00Understood kdog.

I just checked prices at a-zdarts.com and the nylon dynastar shafts are $4 and the flights are $3. They may be a little bit more expensive than your standard stems and flights but if you are in the market for a quality spinner system then these'll do you right.Zeeplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17217303030920572083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402224.post-1134070642931773452005-12-08T11:37:00.000-08:002005-12-08T11:37:00.000-08:00Sorry It should say the place I get my last minute...Sorry It should say the place I get my last minute things are selling what they and not getting anymoreAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402224.post-1134070491143482452005-12-08T11:34:00.000-08:002005-12-08T11:34:00.000-08:00The word I heard is that a lot of places aren't se...The word I heard is that a lot of places aren't sell the Dyna-Stars because they are expensive and people are not buying them.

My gf and I have a rule: we are not allowed to buy anything for ourselves for a few months before xmas... But she recieved a package in the mail the other day that looks suspiciously like a new dartboard!!<BR/><BR/>Anywho.. Stock up on flights and stems. I always recommend my favs so next time you make an online order, get yourself some plain black poly pear flights and some in-between length nylon stems.

Odd that you cannot find them readily. I have hundreds of flights.

I like the feeling of throwing one solid unmoving unit. These days it doesn't irritate me as much. The Dynastars do not have the kinda rattle you are talking about but I know some spinners do.Zeeplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17217303030920572083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402224.post-1133904736896876462005-12-06T13:32:00.000-08:002005-12-06T13:32:00.000-08:00I tried a little expiriment with spinners and alth...I tried a little expiriment with spinners and although they did help with allowing my darts to go through the flights easier... I didn't like the rattle.. I went back to aluminum... <BR/><BR/>Going to try nylon and will probably order those ones from A-Z the XL's... <BR/><BR/>As for flights... I switched to dimplex instead of poly.. the hard poly's I was destroying very quick... the dimplex seam to hold up better and they seam to make my dart fly better... I think they are a bit smaller than standard flights as well?jsobo119https://www.blogger.com/profile/04061756936389014181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402224.post-1133873078762996782005-12-06T04:44:00.000-08:002005-12-06T04:44:00.000-08:00Hi JB.

If you are using a long barrel you will need a shorter stem and while you are using a shorter barrel a longer stem. If my overall dart is too long then I end up hitting my face too, with the flight, sometimes.Zeeplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17217303030920572083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402224.post-1133825412708386852005-12-05T15:30:00.000-08:002005-12-05T15:30:00.000-08:00Hmm.. good point kdog.
