I've been playing on and off for 10 years, only ever used standard flights. My darts drop low quite a lot, after watching this vid, I've now switched to Kite flights and notice a big difference, higher scoring and better on my doubles. Cheers! Keep it up
Haha I agree same for me
Great video Matt. I’ve been a standard thrower for 25 years...changed to kite just before lockdown...the improvement in my game and the amount of 180s has been unbelievable! 🎯🏴
What length of stem you using buddy
@@brackaboy1 depends on the flight.. standard ones go well with aluminum medium stem and kite go well with in-between carbon or aluminum stem at least in my opinion
I just started using kites and they go well with in between stem aluminum or carbon I just notice hitting where I want on first go
@@kebbytawerio699i dont believe he was talking to you...
Been waiting for this video since I started playing darts lol... Stems next please....
"When you know, you know" was the truest thing I've heard for a while!
I throw fin for soft tip, fantail for 22g+ and Velos (Harrows; the weird shaped big ones that you forgot the name of) for lighter darts. There's no real logic, but it works for me. Noticed that the Velos flights drastically change the angle of entry so I pretty much understack, but I like that as I find there's more room in the bed.
As for soft tip, the flights are big but it gives me something to aim at when going for bullseye. Also, I try and keep a novelty theme for soft tip, and they're on point (no pun intended).
Great video, thanks for uploading.
Thank you Edgar! Finally someone who makes a little video about flights! How I have looked for something like this. I would have preferred a 90min in-depth, scientific view, but that'll never happen. So this was helpful. I hope you can revisit flights in the future. (How much does the thickness of a flight change the darts flight? Thicker=slower, even I know that, but a professionals view on material would be interesting.)
Thanks man! I'm a total beginner and this really gave me a good overview of the topic!
No problems glad you found it useful
Don’t change, unless it suits.. very best wishes for the incoming week.
The second set of flights you used I use, they work well on a 22g with a small stem there from target. 👍
Just started getting into this hobby. This video was a huge help. Thanks a ton!
Welcome to the world of darts John. There’s no turning back now
i have try all of them (i mean kitty,slim,pear and standard) and i choose to throw with kitty flights.....my dart stick in board like Lewis darts,with tail up,so with this flights my darts penetrate with perfect angle....greath vid, mate
Great review on the flight variations. I would have rather seen a shaft/flight comparison video, as I constantly play around with shaft length and flight variations to tune in a new set of barrels, or get them just right to compete in tournaments. As always great review and please review shaft variations soon Ty!
I allways used standard flights.
Then i did the same thing, bought a couple of different ones.
Threw 100 darts with the old standard ones and when i switched to kites it upped my average by 11 points after 100 darts thrown.
Trying out different stems and flights and even points is just smart thing to do.
good vid Matt
This was a fantastic and informative video. I've been wanting to get more serious with my darts, and just switched to the Retina kites myself. Love the difference they make, and I hope they do the same for you. Cheers from Stateside
Brilliant video once again. I can see you changing to the kites soon because not only did they see to suit you better than even your slim flights, they looked pretty cool too.
Yeah I have enquires into some already
@@Edgartvdarts Cool. Was it the first time you've thrown with kite flights?
Thanks for the simple but well done review
Can't wait for the Edgar TV Darts. Will definitely get them in 21g.
There a lovely dart
@@Edgartvdarts When will they come out approximately?
Will they be available in soft tip?
I want them in 23G
Good video , flights can makes a difference . Recently i was switched from Condor Axe medium standard to short stems supplied with darts and add a kite shape of flights . Difference is very big , have a feel that is not a same dart like with previous set up .
I was cutting flights Al shapes and sizes but the way they landed sometimes 3 darts on the floor..using Taylors last flights he was using but not the stems.. Different entry but less on the floor
Excellent video Matthew. Didn't seem to affect entry angle very much. Could you do a video mixing up stem length with flight size to make them stand up and/or lie down?
I use the big wing XL which are just an extra big flight on straight darts. I used to use pear shaped on the Vikings darts. Funny how it changed really!
5:59 those flights are called velos flight made by harrows
Such a helpful video, been looking for something like this for ages. 👍👍🔥
Edgar tv sometimes delivers
@@Edgartvdarts I think always
The kites are okay going for trebles, then going for double NO.... I prefer slims / Taylor edge for the best balance!
Was literally looking for video just like this the other day thanks for doing that thinking of changing the flight I use and like the look of those kites
Like a mind reader me
@@Edgartvdarts will have to try them on my new darts designed by Zachary love the new set he helped you with 👌
Great vid mate. Been waiting for one like this.
Good vid ....yeah makes all the difference indeed !!!!! . . .
Edgar for summer series👍👍
Excellent video 🎯👍🏻
This board is as wobbely as my belly after lockdown😂
I feel your pain
My average has gone up pts during lockdown.... Hope the pub leagues start soon like...
I really couldn't play like it, it would drive me insane lol
Loved the interview earlier 👍
Awesome video! I definitely am going to try out the kites and possibly the teardrops. I tend to take the traditional big balloon standard size flights I suppose you call them and cut them down to what he I’d like so that’s not always the best Way, I’m sure. Thanks again
Happy new year and I wish you prosperous, healthy and safe 2021
Switched to kites just to see what they were like and definitely improved on my doubles
Mini standard flights with the brass beauties from yesterday, surely the combination to win gold at MK!?! 🤣
I should make a random dart up shouldn’t I
Cool video pal. I can only use pears and kites.i also like my darts to lie flat so I can stack.
I use 25 gram Harrows bombers with a 29mm stem and pear flights. I want hardly any dart to throw and a fast landing dart. Plus I find the pear flights are a delight to help increase aim
Same here. I was throwing 8 sets of darts, always on standards. Bought a Scott Williams bombers and pears for test. There is no way back for me. I got light throw and pears are fantastic for that.
2:43 no problem with the wobbly board but who is secretly eating cookies near the microphone? ^^
Jodie was opening the other packs
Kites are fantastic flights. Not as heavy as standards, so they don't drop as much, and aren't as small as slims, so I can throw them without my darts looking like tungsten acrobats rolling through the air.
Target ten-x personally my favourite
Are they a lil bit faster?
@@elmarsyla4743 yes slightly but not as fast as pears or kites
@@LP-go9de What is the difference between Ten x (vs) standard flight? I just use because i feel better in those, but don't know the real difference
@@elmarsyla4743 ten x are slightly smaller so they hit the board quicker
In the 70s I remember the Elkadart Clearway flights, which were a standard shape but had the central mass of the flight cut out. Very fast as I recall.
I need to find these
I use Robson kites... My favorite
Thank you.
Try the harrows v wing sometime. I love those
Should have a go of the vortex flights by Red Dragon.
I recently swapped from slims to kites. I was dropping a little low with slims and the kites have sorted me right out. They feel more stable too
How much damage can a flight take before it affects the actual flight into the board?
Great tips
Great video mate.
They're a bit like vortex.theyre good to use.
I used to use the thicker hardcore flights, now I use thinner target find they land flatter for me, as like to stack upwards
I'd love to buy some EdgarTV shirts or other gear. Planning on selling anything? Thanks for the great darts channel!
Yes will be out very soon
@@Edgartvdarts 👍😁👍 cant wait!
what happens when you love a flight ,or for that matter , a stem and they stop making them ? An example is the unicorn jet lite stem .
I used to have a set of V wing flights and always played much better with them. Don't know whether it was the flights or just some kind of placebo effect...
Would changing the stem lengths with different flights not make difference too?
Great video, mate!
I just wish my channel was more popular so I can get more views because I uploaded this vid 2 months ago and only have 67 views and you get 1000s in a couple hours, good on ya mate, keep it up
I had a quick look at your channel. Good start. You just need an amazing introduction like Edgar TV's and you are set.
To bad you didn’t get on with those Harrow Velos! Every time you threw I thought I could hear Edgar T “...VEEEEE” Get it? Cause of their shape. 🙄 cheers from NY
Wassup Michael!
Have you tried some Phil Taylor flights? They are different.
practice practice practice ! You gonna need it, Matty
Yes I’m putting some big hours in
I think an upgrade on the audio system in your room should be consideted. You can barely be heard and understood while you were doing your throws.
My 2 cents, friend ✌
Looking at that I’d say keep practicing with the kites and you’ll be picking up trophy’s at the summer series
Yes I am amazed by them already messaged the sponsors
I throw an 18g dart and I use a kite shaped flight the go in nice and straight
😎 so mini standards or kites for d edgar
How would you say the kites vs the pears are?
Kits more stable
The word is "affects".
How do you know if a flight suits you
Gabe Dangoor you hit the board.
I changed from Standard to the S4 Fit Flights a few weeks back and haven't looked back. Tried the slims but not for me
the harrows ones looked like velos
Roman Reckless they were.
Good to watch that! Firstly, wtf do I know, but I really think the whole "speed through the air" thing is psychological, has anyone done a proper scientific test to prove it one way or another? I can't find one on google. Looking forward to seeing those darts of yours on sale!
It changes a lot. I had to change one the other day and didn't have 3, it was insanely different, the dart barely stuck to the board.
Also, I break like 30 shafts every day. Insane bounceouts. Any recommendation? Probably gonna have to change the material.
Carbon is the way to go for me a bit more expensive but they rarely break
Amazing how they affect the flight of the dart...
Best novelty flights were from a company called ‘spirioline’ they were great ‘inflight’
Try throwing the kite put in the shaft upside down??
I've been playing with standard flights for a while now and i was struggling with accuracy, tried out dimplex standard flights and found alot more tighter groupings and accuracy,
I use the dimplex stems well worth a go. I’ve put a link in the description in the my normal equipment section
What the difference with nylon stems or polycarbonate?
So, the flight blocks your view as well? I’m confused as to how that is. View from throw or view from board?
Great Video. Now how does the length of the stem affect the dart?
Affects
Ordering myself some Kite flights.
Go for the strong flights like the retinas I’ve linked some in the description for example 👍
@@Edgartvdarts thanks. I've been using retina pear. I like the look of the kite from the video. Looked like you did too!
I need some advice on what flights i should use with my darts. I'm currently using standards and while I can lay with them I feel there are flights that would better suit me and my throw and play style. i will list some information below regarding the kind of darts I've settled on using.
The darts i am using currently are 18 gram and steel tipped. Like in the video i do like a faster dart and the standards are quite slow.
Any advice on the types of flights that would suit me would be very much appreciated.
Wow your good maybe if I buy those kite flights I'll be as good 🤣
I've been throwing with standard flights since the 90's. I notice that they tend to have an arc but I just accepted that as a normal element of a ballistic object. I wonder if my accuracy will go up if I go with a smaller profile flight. I'm running a 24gram steel-tip dart (everything included).
Mount that thing to the wall man !
(:
Why would you mount a travel board on a wall?
The whole point of the thing is to bring it along on travels.
Can you make a tutorial
i have a soft throw and want my darts to reach higher without having to add my power i want a straight dart path though ,im getting john oshea front weighted darts any advice
Hi mate, can I use kite shaped flights on 24g darts or are they only useful on sub 22g darts?
The barrel you use?
Edgar tv 21g from loxley darts
Do the mini standard flights have a very similar area to the slims, hence why you like them?
I’d say there a bit smaller
@@Edgartvdarts cheers. I am throwing slims in the ....is it Cosmo flights where the flights sit over the shaft rather than push into it?
“Affects”
When the edgar TV darts will they be released with flights and stems or barrel only
I think they will be with flights and stems in the first run but not the ones I use as the stems are patented
@@Edgartvdarts good looking forward to buying myself a set
Yes I'll be looking for a set for my collection. Any chance of a set of your "patented stems" for an "independent purchase"?
I just got some decent darts after using cheap shit for ages.. I went for some 28g front weighted cuesouls, some fly in straight as you like but the majority of my throws they rotate mid air and land on wierd angles mainly side on. Any idea what I am doing wrong 🤔
I think the prime time player should use kite flights
Harrows make all the retina flights.
Yeah good flights they are
I’ve found kites to be the best for the same reasons.
** affects
"affect"
dont use mini standards with light darts. they fall out of the board most of the time
So does anyone know if those designa mini standard flights are smaller or same as target ten-x shape flights only cause I might get some of they are?
Where did you get the page on flights at the beginning, would also like a read on that
Got a few on my phone not sure where I got it from get me on social media I’ll send you it
Starting to think kites might be the way to go
