centaur 12 Pack Professional Brass Darts Metal Tip Set, 12 x 20g Steel Tip Darts with Add-A-Gram 2g Weight, 24 x Aluminium Shafts 35/48mm, 32 x Standard/Slim Dart Flights

Figured i would give these darts a shot since they looked decent and the price was good. It is stated that these weigh 22 grams so i used a jewelers scale and they all wigh at 22 grams +/- .01 grams which is great. The balance on these darts are nice, the sweet spot for the thumb is on the smoother part which is fine because your other fingers will rest on the rougher grips. The flights are pretty nice and fit snugly into the shaft. Which comes to one of ny points. Don't store your darts in the case, get a dart holder that lets you store them without removing the flights as removing and replacing continuously will thin the flights and make them start to pop off. They do come with flight protectors to put on the back which is nice and helps hold flight shape as well. The darts come pretty dang sharp and with a stone to sharpen them after they dull out. That being said, one of the darts did come slightly blunted which is no big deal as a few runs with the stone and it was as sharp as the others. The darts fly really straight when thrown, you have to really twist your hand or twitch to get a bad wobble (any beginner can throw these darts and get a stick). These darts are relatively simple in design but do have an elegance to them that you can see and feel when playing with them. These are for sure one of the better sets of darts I have played with, especially for such a low price pont.

These are a nice upgrade from your standard bulk set of 12 or 15 darts. The shaft has better grip and you can feel the difference in quality. They are going to break like any dart, so I’m disappointed they don’t come with any extra flights. That just seems very odd to me. I can buy extra flights it’s just nice to have a matching set because when one fully breaks the set becomes less desirable to play with. That’s my only beef with this set. It might explain the 40% reduction in cost as they will probably discontinue this set. On a scale of 1-10 (with 1 being cheap darts from Dicks and 10 being a $75 professional set), I would give these a 5. Right in the middle. You can buy worse darts, and spend money for better ones. Just know what you’re getting and be happy. A decent set of darts that won’t break the bank and can help you determine how much you want to spend on your next set.

UPDATE: Manufacturer got a hold of me and sent new darts in plastic case. Again, the darts were very nice, well balanced, and quality; but the box (plastic this time, not cardboard) was not engineered well at all. Darts arrived in a jumbled mess in the box and suffered scuffing in transit. GREAT DARTS, WONDERFUL PRICE, CRAP PACKAGING. As long as you know what to expect, I think you can still be happy with your purchase.Got the darts today. Good weight and construction on the darts themselves, but the "dart case" (if it can be called that) was a piece of junk and damaged. Note that the outside of the dart case was not damaged, but the internal pull-out piece was. So the damage most likely originated at the factory (as opposed to delivery). The dart case's holes for the tips were warped and damaged. The case's grooves to hold the shaft is very thin and seemed compressed and warped. This allowed the darts to tumble around inside the case and rub against the tip sharpener, thus scuffing the tail of the darts. I'm not going to return $15 darts, but this is something future buyers should know about. Frankly, I think Centaur should do better.

High quality darts that comes in nice, sophisticated packaging. I enjoyed the sharpening stone that is included in the package as well as the pamphlet with a handful of different games to play and how to play them. The only “issue” is that the tails seem to come off kind of easily even with the clips on but it doesn’t create too much of an issue. Very Good product for the money. Will absolutely come back to purchase again!

Bought these as a replacement for the old darts that had come with my original purchase of the dartboard. These are vastly superior, didn’t know what a difference good quality darts made in my enjoyment of the game! Plus, they look awesome and have a really nice weight/feel to them; I always get compliments on them.

If you are looking for darts that won' slip out of your hand, these are the ones. The knurling on the darts is great. The darts are a good weight and feel very expensive. The packaging they come in is beautiful. You get a brochure on how to play darts as well. The company is a small business and they want to make sure that their customers are happy. I would definitely purchase more of these. Fast shipping and high quality. If you don't buy these, you are missing out.

After opening and inspecting, the aluminum shafts (orings included) and flights look well made, BUT my problem is the barrels. The barrels I received were not as advertised. Take a look at photo included. What is shown on website, and is why I bought these darts in the first place, was for more aggressive knurls along the barrel to get better grip.My hands get sweaty easily during dart play so I wanted another set of darts to test out with more aggressive grip texture. I am disappointed in not having the barrel design I wanted. I was concerned that the barrels, being different than advertised, were not 20 grams. I weighed them and they were exactly 20 grams so good there. Giving 3 stars because overall the darts feel decent, case they came in, shafts and fights are as advertised. Just disappointed the barrels as shown on website did not represent what I received. Two decent sets for $17 though is a good deal, I'll keep them and hopefully they work out in the end.

I found these darts to be of the Highest Quality. The workmanship is better than I expected. After having not shot darts in almost 20 yrs and a Full shoulder replacement I started with some cheap darts but after a month or so my arm was good but the darts lost flites and the barrels stripped. These darts flew truer and with more Confidence I scored Consistently Higher.

the dartboard that I got for my grand children is getting extensive usage & they're really looking forward to the arrival of new darts.

Love it

Great product

Great little set for the price. Only had a small problem with one of the flights. It started to peel and now falls off every few throws. Other than that a perfect little set.

Light weight and easy to use
