Darts / 【TRiNiDAD】NORWOOD
( 18 )

I want to be able to throw this consistently (laughs).

Personally, I find that I am in better or worse shape with this barrel.
When your arm is swinging without effort, it flies beautifully, but when you are straining or holding the grip tightly, it does not fly beautifully.
I really envy those who can throw this barrel consistently, because they don't have to worry about the wear and tear of the cut.

The dimpled barrels have a one-shot grip position but catch weird... the no-groove ones can slip and are hard to throw...

I think this barrel eliminates those two disadvantages.
The grip is dimpled and snug! Only the no-groove and the dimples keep it from slipping, plus it's harder to snag!

It is a little heavier so you can feel the weight of the barrel firmly. Personally, I think it fits the way of throwing and setting like Tsuneki Zanami's pro.

If you are a first time user of a dimpled barrel (not intentionally rotating it), it may possibly flop from side to side when you throw it. The reason is that those with 3- or 4-finger grips may be throwing with their index finger and thumb misaligned and correcting with their middle or ring finger. A dimpled barrel can force you to grip in an even position with your index finger and thumb, so you can learn to apply good grip pressure without relying on your middle or ring finger.
In that sense, I would like each person to use one set of these dimpled barrels.
For those who want a barrel with less waste, who want to use no-groove barrels for the first time, who want to use a dimpled barrel for the first time, who don't want to worry about the cut reduction, who want a heavier barrel, etc., I would highly recommend this barrel. I would like to recommend this barrel to all of you.

I apologize for the length of this article.

How many of you can explain the aim of a barrel just by looking at its design? Among the many barrel designs out there, I don't think there is a barrel that has such a simple and clear aim as the "X Series Norwood". There are no cuts at all, only hollows. When you have a good feel for it, it flies along the rail to the target. The dimples are reasonably wide and thick, so even with a firm grip they don't feel tight. And because it is completely non-grooved, it is very resistant to scratches and dirt and very gentle on the fingers. It is not the newest barrel, but it is a barrel you should definitely try.

This barrel is a bit thin for a Torpedo. Especially since it is no-groove, the grip position is indented and more slender, so you can grip it similarly to a straight. Even though there is no cut, it is interesting because it can be thrown without slipping strangely. I would like people who usually use barrels with a tight cut to give it a try.

Does the indentation mean it can be thrown in the same way as Unite10?
This shape of no-groove helps tremendously to fix the finger catching when extruding.
