【TRiNiDAD】NORWOOD 's Japan Review

I love the no groove.
I used to use a discontinued Monster Rapier 2 Sleek and 2BA, but for various reasons I had to let them both go

It was difficult to get them again, so I bought this Norwood instead.

It is a great replacement and really reminds me of the Monster Rapier 2 when I use it.

Different product, but the closest in weight and length is the Norwood!

It's very useful.

I purchased my first no-groove barrel.

I have a very weak grip, but the grip feels quite good. I have a rather weak grip, but the grip feels quite good, and when I throw it, I don't feel it is stuck, and it gives me the impression that I am throwing a shark cut that doesn't stick at all. But it can be pushed out firmly.

Furthermore, the center of gravity is further forward than the grip, so you can feel the weight of the barrel firmly on takeback.

I really feel that this is a very useful weapon.

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.

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.

This is a switch from rapier 2 no groove to no wood.
With the rapier no-groove, I was stagnating at A-flat because I couldn't get a good grip/feeling of grip.
I found the strength of the grip with this dart, and it grew rapidly.
I found the strength of the grip with this dart and it has grown rapidly.

If you feel discomfort in your fingers or feel a twitch in your throws when throwing a barrel with a cut, this is the dart for you!
Please try it!

It's a no-groove barrel with no cut.
I wondered how it would be when I tried it out, but it was unexpectedly easy to grip and throw, so I bought it.
My personal feeling is that it is more suited for pushing.
I used to swing it, but I have the yips, so I started throwing it half swing and half push, and the dimples on my fingers feel good and it flies very well.
The weight of 17.2g and the shape of the barrel combine to make it fly very straight.
The cut is not worn out, so I think this barrel can be used for a long time.
I have recently purchased the Johnny Eclipse, which is a dimpled barrel, but this one seems to be better suited to my hand.
I think Norwood is easier to hold than Johnny Eclipse because the hollow part is thinner.

I also have a rapier, but in comparison, the rapier has a narrower concave.
So the wider concavity makes the grip feel more comfortable.
However, the center of gravity is much further back than the rapier, so it may be good for those who push the darts out while being aware of the direction of the darts along the line.

I am a beginner who has only been playing darts for less than a month, but I am glad I purchased this barrel.
The grip position is stable, no groove, but it doesn't slip out, and I think it is easy to handle even for beginners.

I was interested in the no-groove barrel and purchased it. The design is good and the grip is easy to set, so I got used to it right away. I would recommend it.

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.
