Kite Shaped Dart Flights

Different shaped dart flights make a difference on how your dart is thrown and how it travels through the air to the board. A kite shaped dart flight is a popular choice for players as the smaller and slimmer shape flight is designed to make the dart travel faster. This can lead to an increased stability during the dart’s trajectory to the board, meaning less drag and better aerodynamics during play.

Kite shaped flights are smaller in size compared to a standard (no. 2) flight, which means they will cover a smaller area of the dartboard. This can enhance the performance of players as they can see more of the target when looking to try and group three darts into the same segment.

Choosing the right thickness

Dart flights come in different levels of thicknesses with the kite shaped flights in this collection available in a variety of options. The different flight thicknesses can make a difference for players, with a thicker flight (such as 150 microns) providing more air resistance and are more durable and can withstand a lot of wear and tear.

A thinner flight (such as 75 microns) will be more lightweight and prone to being damaged more quickly, but whilst all brands aim to make the most durable flights possible, you will find that after a lot of use there is bound to be some wear and tear. One of the best ways a player can prepare themselves for a match is to have spare flights in their darts case, and our accessory kits are a great option to help you top up your equipment ready for the next time you play.
