There is so many different shapes of flight available on the market all with there own claims of what they will do. In this video I take a look at the shape of the flights and how it changes the speed the dart travels to the board.

Would love to see more videos re: flights. What each flight's actual purpose is, how they do with various weights, etc. Would also love to see similar videos about shafts. Short/Tweenie/Long etc. How each flight interacts with all of it.

Good stuff Matt. Would love to see a follow up about the way the darts fly with different flights (and stems). Barrel weight would be a factor too, I guess, a 18 gram dart with ultra slim flights would fly differently to a 24 gram dart with the same flights? Definitely up for stuff like this!

@brianhutchison1788 2 жыл бұрын

Great video Matt. Always threw standards but struggling with grip & can't seem to propel the dart hard enough to counteract the drag. Now experimenting with smaller & smaller flights. I like the way they fly fast & flat when I get the throw right...but if I get it wrong they fly & land at all kinds of angles! Standards now seem huge & present a bigger obstruction to following darts. Interested to see further experiments on the effects of different setups 👍

@8ballali 2 жыл бұрын

Incredible what tiny differences the human body can identify. Also, shows how consistent your throw speed must be. What a machine. Except mine. Mine must be made of rubber. 😂 Only returned to darts about two weeks ago, so I've been experimenting. Having done archery for the last five years, I've realised how much difference tiny changes can make. It's helped me a lot over the last two weeks.

@clarkwebster171 2 жыл бұрын

You need to follow this up with a "stability" test. More surface area = more drag, but it's only part of the equation, since more speed = less control. It would be the most obvious test to do next, so you could marry the data to have a more complete picture of how aerodynamics affects your throw/aiming, etc

@TerryChastain 2 жыл бұрын

Like many, I would like to see stability and arc of different flights. I am using kite flights now as it seems if I use larger flights I tend to have to throw it harder and that causes way more misguided or unstable darts for me than kite flights. I have not tried anything smaller lately but I might if my averages tend to keep going up with faster darts. I guess I should point out I am playing soft tip so the drag of larger flights is probably a bigger factor than steel tip which is why smaller flights feel better and easier to throw. I can not lob a dart with any sort of accuracy so the less arc the better. I would also recommend a chronograph as it would make determining speed easier. No more watching a ton of videos to determine speed. Could then be used to determine if stems/grippier dart changes speed.

Enjoyed this, even if it does sort of confirm what the theory was. Would love a follow up where you can apply this knowledge. So if you feel your darts are too flat on entry would it be better to slow the time down etc.

@maring.214 2 жыл бұрын

A lot of work, great video! Do you have all your data in a spreadsheet so we can run some stats to see if the differences are “statistically significant”? I’m guessing it was a bit tricky to judge when the dart left your hand and when it hit the board as there’s only usually 24 or 36 frames per second when recording video?

@Edgartvdarts 2 жыл бұрын

Wasn’t too bad actually I put it into high resolution recorded in normal time then slowed it down into super slow mo got the release point and entry point then convert it back to normal speed to get the time. Sounds a long way around but once I got into the flow of it wasn’t too bad at all

@benksi28 2 жыл бұрын

Great Video. How does the length of stems affect the darts? I have the feeling, that the shorter they are, the faster the darts get. Am i right? I changed from inbetween length to short, and i have the feeling i have more power , or the darts gets faster, because thes points get deeper into the board as before. (Excuse my bad english, i am german, i hope yu understood what i wanted to tell).

Hi Matthew, I want to ask you a question: Every once in a while my darts tend to "fishtail" and land awkwardly on the board, facing sideways etc. Is this a problem related to the flights that I use (Standrand no. 6) or is it something else?

It can be the dart been the wrong weight to suit the flight or posture/release. Would be hard to say for sure without seeing to be honest
