MISSION DARTS TITAN Drift POINT PACK 50 Red 's Japan Review

I bought one out of curiosity, but it breaks every 15 minutes, even though it has never been played.
Each time it happens, it is stressful to pull it out of the segment with pliers.
The tip (the part that sticks) is thinner than the picture. Is this a specification change? If it were as thick as the picture, I don't think it would break as much...
