I remember when Jeff was first designing them he was quite excited and told me he would send me a set so I could give them a test drive and blog about them and what not. But then another dart aficionado from Korea bought the set he was going to send me and I never got a set! Oh well good for Jeff that he made a sale I guess. Some day I might wanna have a set too. Some day.Zeeplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17217303030920572083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402224.post-58498357774417395092008-01-29T04:16:00.000-08:002008-01-29T04:16:00.000-08:00I have had a set of these darts since mid December...I have had a set of these darts since mid December and they are great. All the guys I play with are checking out the blogs to see Jeffs work. If anyone is going to think of buying darts from Jeff, they won't be disappointed. He does excellant work.Well worth the money!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402224.post-1134963097714309062005-12-18T19:31:00.000-08:002005-12-18T19:31:00.000-08:00I wouldn't mind getting a set of the balance point...I wouldn't mind getting a set of the balance points.

He doesn't make a dart until it has been ordered and you can specify weight length, grooves rings, shape, etc. But these are his words:<BR/><BR/>up to 2.150" in 9/32"dia,and up to 2.00" in 5/16". Sample you have seen was 2.00" long X 5/16" dia at the point end. It weighed 21.5 grams as seen<BR/><BR/>Does that answer your question?Zeeplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17217303030920572083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402224.post-1134742745050582502005-12-16T06:19:00.000-08:002005-12-16T06:19:00.000-08:00Z, Are the barrels short, or are the tips really ...Z,<BR/> Are the barrels short, or are the tips really long?<BR/>JimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402224.post-1134738735601710342005-12-16T05:12:00.000-08:002005-12-16T05:12:00.000-08:00Balancepoint only makes soft tip darts (usually - ...Balancepoint only makes soft tip darts (usually - to the best of my knowledge) although I know from speaking with the owner of Orion Vector that they have at least experimented with steel tip weights. Voks has nice stuff, but their El-C mechanism goes all the way through the dart and pounds on the shaft. Seems to me like the Split Atom is a good answer to both shortcomings.Zeeplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17217303030920572083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402224.post-1134722933653947362005-12-16T00:48:00.000-08:002005-12-16T00:48:00.000-08:00Looks like Jeff is giving Voks and Balance point a...Looks like Jeff is giving Voks and Balance point a run for their money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
