Shafts sit between the barrel and the flight and are the part of a dart that takes the most punishment, so a spare set in the case is standard practice for any regular player.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet of three — enough to re-stem a full set of darts in one go.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort length — shifts weight forward compared with medium or intermediate stems, suiting players who prefer a front-loaded feel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePro Grip design — Target's Pro Grip system is built to hold the flight securely in the shaft slot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue colourway — easy to spot in the case and to match to a set of flights.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard 2BA thread — fits the great majority of steel tip and soft tip barrels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePerformance Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eShaft length is one of the simplest ways to change how a dart behaves in the air. As Target's own range notes and general darts practice both hold, a shorter stem moves the balance point forward and lets you run a smaller flight for tighter grouping; a longer stem adds stability but tilts the weight rearward, which asks for a firmer throw. If you are grouping well but want the darts to sit tighter in the board, dropping to a short shaft is the usual first experiment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePractically, stems are a consumable. They take the impact when a dart is deflected by one already in the board, and a cracked shaft will quietly ruin your grouping before you notice it. Keeping a three-pack in the case means a broken stem costs you a few seconds rather than a match.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBenefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree shafts per set — a full re-stem from one pack.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort length for a more front-weighted, tightly grouped dart.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePro Grip flight retention helps keep flights seated during play.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn inexpensive spare that prevents a broken stem from ending a session.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTarget\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePro Grip Shaft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Code\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e380240\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDart Shafts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShort\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eContents\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 x shafts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlue\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThread\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2BA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from Central Sports?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✅ 100% Genuine \u0026amp; Authorised Products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🎯 Trusted Darts \u0026amp; Indoor Sport Specialist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e📦 Secure Packaging \u0026amp; Fast Processing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🤝 Reliable Customer Support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🆕 Access to Latest Releases \u0026amp; Collections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFinal Verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cheap, sensible spare that every player should have in the case.
