How the length of a point affects a dart

Nice vid Matt, could you maybe do a video with info on what point length pro players uses that you’re friends with and can get an answer from, and why they use that length?

I have always used long points because I thought it was statistically better for more room in the treble but recently fell into some bad form. I was doing a lot of experimentation like your video and found that with short points I got a lot less wobble in the flight of the darts and a lot more accuracy, I was super surprised that just the size of point made such a huge difference. Thanks for the video!

Thank you for making this informative series! Have found them intresting.

Good as usual. Great information.

I love this! I actually had longer points put on my barrels and it’s made a huge difference! I was off my target by 50% probably

Great series Matt

Great informative video. I have tinkered with points & even 2mm difference can affect the balance

You’re like the Berm Peak of darts content, and that’s a compliment 😄

Love this video I use long points and my darts have always stood up ...and I find that you are spot on the benefit is that with longer points and my darts standing up it leaves more of your target area to hit 🎯🎯🎯

Great series

My experience with longer points is that I have to throw the dart with more finesse and be more consistent and not throw to aggressive. Where as if i use a 26-30 mm sticking out of darts I can throw aggressive and finesse with more accuracy. Longer point will tend to dive upside with flight side down. There is less room for mistakes in throw with longer points they are less forgiven

Really down to the throw. Personally use 41mm points, and a long set up all around with velos flights. Get at least a 45 degree angle when I'm releasing right.

Hi , I'm going to try some 40mm points (30mm in at the moment ) so with 5mm inside the barrel they will be 10mm longer . I've found that the size of flight changes the angle in the board alot more than maybe the point , I'm using slim standard flights now ,they give me a flat dart in the board . great vids as always cheers G W

yeah awesome video. i use longer points for the exact reason you mentioned - it opens up the target area for me a bit more so it allows for more "room". i use 38mm-41mm points (33mm-36mm showing). now... me actually hitting the more "room" area consistently is a whole different ballgame. 🤷🏽‍♂️😂

This is dart tuning. Same weights come in different thicknesses , grips and lengths. Just use stem that gives you about 20° or your preference. Cool video Edgar.

Hi Matt! Great video as always! How long are the short and long points you were throwing in the video?

What difference does difference lengths shafts along with different length points have? That’d be interesting also too

longer points defintely open up the target significantly ! I have used long points for years , I have them on all my darts

Great series. Just bought the 21 gram Cult darts with a grippy stem. Like to see this compared to L flights and stems or Fit flights and stems? Or a flights video. Plastic verses softer flights. Or shape verses shape

Great video Matt!! great job done again on this one, I have been using long points for 20 years now. They were 35 mm of exposed point, and I went Up to a 46 mm of exposed point, and I am back down to about a 35 is mm of exposed point now because that is the longest points that I can get for my new match darts, that take a Reflex conversion point. As you stated these longer points allow more room in the triples to get your darts into them. Longer points also allow your darts to group tighter tighter. If you hold the very tip of the points together and put all three darts barrels together you will see a tighter grouping that if you did the same with short points. the flights will all be closer together with the longer points than with the shorter points.
