Review - Unicorn Gripper II shafts
Compared to previous Gripper shafts, Gripper two has a tightening hole and unicorn brand at its body. A set package comes complete with rings to secure the flights + a spare ring should you loose a ring.

In comparison with the usual deflectagrip nylon shafts, Gripper II is easily broken at the top part where you slot your flights - only if you are good in grouping darts. I broke mine a set in less than 12 hours - Is it me not good in grouping or just being lucky the incoming dart did not hit the shaft directly
On contrary, Gripper II shaft is light, lighter than deflectagrip nylon shafts of same length. The material is light, which does not add much weight compared to the usual nylon shafts however, sacrifice its strength to withstand the force of incoming dart. You can choose - normal deflectagrip nylon that is cheap and last longer or a bit expensive but does not add much weight to you complete set up dart - example, if your dart weight is 24g, you are throwing somewhat less than 25g by using Unicorn Gripper II compared to over 25g if using deflectagrip nylon shafts. Again, it's all about preferences.
So, buy from those who can advise you on your darts & accessories, not just bcoz the item you are buying from a seller is cheap. My reviews are based on customers' feedback on the product used, and genuine customers' and personal experience. That is also why I am not surprise my review being used as selling point by new seller. Well, sharing is a caring bit, thanks for reading this thread.
Good review there kimikewl.
Yes, I broke my Gripper II shaft too and has switch to other models.
