The Target Pro Grip Shafts (380240) are replacement dart stems in the short length, supplied as a set of three in blue. 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.
Key Features
- Set of three — enough to re-stem a full set of darts in one go.
- Short length — shifts weight forward compared with medium or intermediate stems, suiting players who prefer a front-loaded feel.
- Pro Grip design — Target's Pro Grip system is built to hold the flight securely in the shaft slot.
- Blue colourway — easy to spot in the case and to match to a set of flights.
- Standard 2BA thread — fits the great majority of steel tip and soft tip barrels.
Performance Overview
Shaft 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.
Practically, 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.
Benefits
- Three shafts per set — a full re-stem from one pack.
- Short length for a more front-weighted, tightly grouped dart.
- Pro Grip flight retention helps keep flights seated during play.
- An inexpensive spare that prevents a broken stem from ending a session.
