L-Style

A Champagne Ring caps the flight cavity of a nylon shaft so the flight stays seated and the shaft is protected. It softens hard deflections and prevents robin-hooding, when one dart splits the shaft of another already in the board.

• Champagne Rings are durable plastic, 2 sets (6 caps).
• Premium Metal Champagne Rings are heavier and more durable, 1 set (3 caps).

Both fit nylon shafts only, not metal or other shaft types.

Mostly, yes. L-Shafts use a standard 2BA thread, and the Straight and Slim Locked L-Shafts accept any standard flight, locked in with Champagne Rings or Shell Lock Rings. Many L-Style flights, like the Dimpled flights, also mount on a shaft that takes a standard flight.

The limit is the ring, which fits nylon shafts only. On other slotted shafts, a metal slot lock ring keeps the flight from working loose. L-Style flights do not fit Cosmo Fit Shafts, which take Fit Flights only.

If you want fewer small parts, buy a flight with the ring molded in. If your shafts already have rings, a regular Champagne flight is all you need.

• Champagne flights use a separate ring, like the Natural Nine Champagne Flight.
• EZ and built-in ring flights load in one step, like the Champagne Flight with Built-in Ring or the Laserdart WidowMaker flight.

Both come in Standard, Shape and Slim cuts, so you can keep the profile you already throw.

Choose Standard or Shape for a steady flight, and Slim if you want less drag for a flatter throw. Many L-Style designs come in more than one cut, so you can keep your shape and change only the look.

• Standard: a full flight surface that holds a steady path, like the American Flag v2 Standard.
• Shape: a rounded, compact profile, like the L-Style Flight Shape.
• Slim: cut narrower than Standard for lower drag, like the American Flag v2 Slim.
• Rocket and Teardrop: specialty cuts in some signature designs. Rocket is longer and narrower than a standard flight.

Check the cut on each listing, since names like Kami, EZ and Champagne describe the series, not the shape.

L-Style makes signature flights for many players, including Fallon Sherrock, Deta Hedman, Jelle Klaasen, Ryan Searle and Derek Hinkle. Each design comes in a set cut and ring style, so check both before you order.

• Fallon Sherrock Magnificent Nine: a Standard-cut Champagne flight.
• Jelle Klaasen cobra: Standard cut on a natural background.
• Ryan Searle v2 skulls: an EZ flight with the ring built in.
• Derek Hinkle: Shape cut with a skull headdress and tomahawk design.

Derek Hinkle also has a Laserdarts barrel, the Laserdart Tomahawk, a 22g, 90% tungsten dart with front and rear shark cuts, so flight and barrel can match.

Pick locked or spinning first, then material, then length. Straight L-Shafts run super short, short, in-between and medium, and the Slim Locked covers in-between medium, in-between long and long.

• Nylon, locked: light and flexible, like the L-Shaft Straight Locked.
• Carbonite: stiffer and less prone to snapping than nylon, like the Straight Carbon Locked.
• Silent spinning: rotates on contact with less of the click a spinning shaft makes, like the Straight Silent Shaft.

If a shaft keeps backing out of the barrel, the L-Shaft Tightener GOMU holds the joint tight. Each piece is single use.

Standard Lippoints use the 2BA thread found on most modern soft tip darts. Then choose a length, measured without the thread:

• Short: about 0.9 in (22mm), like the Premium Lippoint Short.
• Regular: 1 in (25mm), like the Lippoint Regular.
• Long: about 1.2 in (30mm) in the Premium line.
• No. 5: a smaller thread for darts that call for it. It will not fit 2BA barrels.

To throw the same barrel on a bristle board, Hard Lippoint Conversion Points switch it to steel tip.

L-Style makes small carriers that clip to your main case, belt or keys, so spares ride with you instead of loose in a pocket.

• Krystal Flight Case: a carabiner and a moveable band keep one set of L-Style or similar flights flat, in seven colors.
• Keyring Flight Case: one set of flights on a keyring.
• L-Style Tip Container: a swivel-top tube, 3 in long, that holds about 30 spare points and clips to a case or belt.
• Bull Shaft & Tip Extractor: removes a broken shaft or stuck soft tip, and doubles as a small tip container.
