【TRiNiDAD】NORWOOD 's Japan Review

This is a replacement for the LilyDart Rudy.
The center of gravity is more centered than the Rudy, the gripping area is wider and thinner, and the position of the grip is a little more forward.
If you like a thinner, center center-of-gravity dart, this might be better for you.
The R of the firing pin is shallower than that of the Rudy, but the wider gripping area allows you to hold it with your whole fingertips, so you can hold it firmly.

Many people worry that darts with no-groove will fall through, but if you hold it properly and swing your arm properly, it will fly well.
Even if there are various cuts, sometimes they fall off...

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.

Since it is no-groove, you don't rely on the cut, but only on the dimples to throw.

The dimples fit my fingers just right, so it's easy to push out.
The grip position is also easy to determine, so you can concentrate on your throw.

This is a no-groove barrel with no knurling.

The grip may feel thin, but it is easy to grip and throw.

We recommend this barrel to those who don't like barrels with tight cuts.

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.

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.

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.

It was easy to throw because it fit well despite being no-groove.
