Nice burling...
Um... this is not going to be a championship kinda image or even a darts match sort of thing is it?
I only ask because real darts players wouldn't be caught dead with darts with plastic ends like those. (about 3 - 4 quid a set) Even the spare sets kept behind the bar are decent ones. Real darts have a plastic or metal shaft with slots in them for pushing the separate flights into, and the flights aren't usually that shape, - it's the bit at the end of the flights, where the flights dip inwards that tells you they are cheap darts. (apart from the shaft being the same colour/material as the flights)
Tungsten with titanium coating, kinda thing are my sort of darts, (about 25 - 35 quid) I've seen some John Lowe "golden" darts that looked quite nice around the upper end of that, but "gold" darts sounds a bit silly to me. (shrug)
Not that the modelling isn't great, I was just wondering why the cheaper darts?
