Flight Savers

Extend the lifespan and performance of your flights with our range of Dart Flight Savers at Premier Darts. These small, affordable caps made from plastic, nylon, or metal fit snugly onto the back of your dart flights, protecting them from wear, maintaining shape, and enhancing consistency round after round.

Why Flight Savers Make a Difference

Flight savers shield your flights from frequent dart-on-dart impacts and guard against 'robin hoods' where one dart’s point carves into the back of another greatly extending flight life. They also help keep flights properly spread at a 90° angle, delivering straighter, more stable flights and improved accuracy over time.

Benefits & Trade-Offs

Pros:

• Prolong flight longevity saves you money and hassle.
• Maintenance of flight shape promotes consistent performance.
• Improved flight control and tighter groupings for many players.

Cons: 

• Adds minimal weight, which may subtly alter dart balance.
• In rare cases, may slightly increase bounce-outs by deflecting incoming darts.
• These effects are minor for recreational or most competitive players.

How to Install Flight Savers

Installation is quick and straightforward: After fitting your flight into the shaft, spread the four wings evenly, then slide the saver so it grips over the flight tail. Make sure it’s secure not too loose or worryingly tight. That’s it repeat for each dart.

Choose the Right Type for Your Game

Flight savers come in different materials and styles:

• Metal (e.g aluminum) durable, lightweight, and aerodynamic.
• Plastic lighter still, flexible, and budget-friendly.
• Ring-style savers easy to fit between flight and stem, especially on Pro-Grip systems. 

Consider your grip, throw style, and how sensitive you are to weight changes when choosing.

Who Benefits Most from Flight Savers

Recreational and league players often find flight savers invaluable they extend equipment life and improve flight behaviour. Pro players typically avoid them due to concerns about even slight trajectory changes or added bounce-outs in high-stakes play. For most users, though, the cost-effectiveness and performance benefits far outweigh the cons.
