Just got myself a Harrows Torpedo 23g.
http://www.edarts.net/st_darts/torpedo_pack.jpg
Tested out in the last 3 weeks before the company I work with organised its Sports Carnival which have darts as one of the Sports event.
My opinion on this set :
As a beginner in darts, I have no qualms on the weight initially till in the 2nd week when I tried my friend's heavier darts (26g) and I like it better. (That is another story)
I have to say this dart is slim ( I was informed by Das there are many types of "barrel" - stubby, thin and long or thick and short). And the standard set comes with a nylon shaft c/w ring and standard flights
The part where I hold the dart is designed in such a way that I will have a good grip, not too slippery. The pointed tip, I was told is fixed.
Although I may not be able to hit consistently 20s, 19s or the triple/double ring (beginner, remember) but I like this darts game where you start from a no. 301 or 501 and as you hit the dart board, you deducted the total no. that you hit till you reached the lowest possible number to "check-out". It was fun, and I would like to go and play darts once a week.
Torpedo Tungstens are the ideal introduction to the world of Tungsten Darts Technology. For the beginner, the 70% tungsten precision made Torpedos can be obtain at an affordable price.
Hope to drop by at most locat darts scene when I have the time.
Cheers.

So, allow me to take the first step to introduce darts & darts accessories review. I welcome darters to share views of darts & accessories you use, & hope info gonna be useful for others. Nevertheless, i'll try my best for a product review a night.
Target L-flights
Claimed the worlds first perfectly shaped aero space precision moulded dart flights. Unique locking ring ensuring maximum grip to the nylon shaft so the flights do not comes off. Extra tough flights for extra long life span. Comes complete with 2 sets of color coded L-grip rings. Available in white, black, blue, green & pink.
Aim Darts is selling this @ RM20 per set. Expensive, but let see if it is worth buying. I'd tested the flight for 2 weeks, darting on alternate day for 3-5 hours session. Packaging is tip top, after all it is a japanese product. I would say it is a rebranding coz Target just stick its sticker on the box. Material is soft plastic, but with thicker plastic around the edges and rear that made up flight protector-like finish.
After first night, one can notice marks of grouping at the surface of the flights. However, this flight has nice in-flight throw effect that could due to the precised shape. Into second week, the flight koyak already
. Not koyak on top part but at the bottom. How this could happen? Maybe the point of the incoming dart hit directly at the bottom part. But since 2 out of 3 flights have the same exact location of the tear, I come to the conclusion that it is not worth buying this flights. Ruthless R4X is more lasting (fitted with flight protector) yet cheaper. Imho, L-flights is for Japanese market, where popular darts played in Japan are soft tips so the flights won't get damaged easily. So, save your money and just buy the usual flights range.
Wow! Target brand - I thought that this brand is from England like Winmau, Unicorn and Harrows.Target L-flights

Anyway, Target brand, from what I was told, is of good quality, but the cost is on the high side.
Agreed with kimikewl taht there could be cheaper version (different brand) but will do the same trick.
So far, I only use Unicorn Maestro flights, costing between RM4.50 - RM6.00. (Made in China lah,tapi brand is from England).
