Anyone play Darts?

I am not sure if this is classed as a Sport so I just posted here

Ive been playing darts quite a lot this last week and Im getting pretty good, Well I think I am anyway.

So much so that I fancy a set of darts of my own.

Anyone know of a good set to buy, or have any good tips for an amateur Pub Sport player

Thats the thing, I dont actually know much about varying weights. There is 2 sets at work where Ive been playing a lot, One clearly heavier than the other, but Im liking the lighter ones and Ive found a sweet technique with em.

I imagine its lighter ones Im after. Do sports shops allow you to find a comfortable weight?

Dont suppose anyone has any links to good sets of darts, just to give me an idea of what Im looking at.

Surprised I enjoy it so much

Ah right thanks.

I assume the flights are pretty much standard on all?

Is that the things that sit on the tail end of the flight?

Ive thrown a dart that has stuck into the back of the first dart and bent the pins on the back, I felt like Robin Hood but my mate wasnt chuffed with the state of his dart afterwards

Ye thats them

Oh dear! Ive done that a few times but with the metal protectors you have no problem

Do the protectors affect the way the dart travels too, So you use them not just for function but because they help you throw better yeah?
