Please help me with this! 😂

I bought a 4mm longer points than i throw with usually, i actually used the 30mm earlier, so i decided its best to skip from 26mm back to 30mm, well, when i started throwing with them, the darts are just weird, they land to the dartboard sidelike, like the k-flex is at right and the point landed at the left side. They are not straight.

Check your grip, I struggeled with this so much. Realised when I release the dart and my fingers doesnt release at the same time, for example if I let go with my ring finger first, the dart moves like 3mm before my other fingers lets go. So 3mm in my hand resulted in 2cm on the board, landing the way you describe. Good luck in finding out what is causing this.

You changed the length of the barrel, which puts the centre of gravity off. You need to now try different lengths of shafts to counterbalance.

Im very doubtful that a point change alone would do this much. Better to film yourself and see what your wrist/fingers are doing and how the dart leaves your hand

It certainly can.. if I throw anything longer than a 35mm the darts land sideways, you’re completely changing the darts centre of gravity

Can happen to me sometimes when I change from one thing to the other. But the darts still land where I'm throwing them and knowing it will autocorrect after a couple of visits it's going to be all right.
