Alan Glazier Black Diamond Darts13/03/2009 The Alan Glazier Black Diamond Darts are manufactured in England by McKicks Darts. Although not as well known as other dart manufacturers in England McKicks have an excellent reputation in the industry. The thing that distinguishes these darts from other darts is the fact that they are a black powder coated 80% tungsten dart with unique grooves, knurling and faceted finish. This gives the dart an aggressive yet soft feel. The darts themselves come complete with nylon shafts, flights and ABS plastic carry case. The flights and shafts may vary from those shown.
The shafts featured are a nylon medium black and the flight is a Quazar 2-D code 6435. We currently have in stock 2 weights, the 22 gram and 24 gram. Both barrels are approximately the same length at 51 mm.
