The locking holes on each shaft eliminate the need to retighten the shaft-to-barrel connection during a game — the most common interruption in competitive play caused by vibration loosening standard shaft threading. Barrel surface is pineapple knurl pattern for grip traction. Set dimensions are 6.5 in L x 1.75 in W x 0.86 in H. Weight is 0.1 lb for the full set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncludes 1 complete set of 3 darts, 3 extra flights, 3 extra shafts, and a black ABS carry case. Ships small parcel at 0.33 lb. 180-day limited warranty. Rated for ages 10 and up.

Pineapple knurl provides more grip surface contact than straight-line knurl at the expense of a slightly more aggressive texture on the fingertips during extended play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003ch3 class=\"gre-desc__h3\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"gre-desc__num\"\u003e03\u003c\/span\u003eLocking Aluminum Shafts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eSix aluminum shafts are included (3 in use, 3 spare). Each shaft has locking holes — small cutouts that engage with the flight stem to stabilize the dart in flight and reduce the need to retighten the shaft-to-barrel joint between throws. Shafts that loosen mid-game change the dart's weight distribution and flight path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"gre-desc__body\"\u003e\n        \u003ch3 class=\"gre-desc__h3\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"gre-desc__num\"\u003e04\u003c\/span\u003eSoft Plastic Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003ePlastic soft tips register contact with electronic target segments without penetrating the surface.

Steel-tip darts on an electronic board will puncture the target segments, destroying the board's scoring surface. Conversely, soft-tip darts on a sisal bristle board will not penetrate the fiber surface and will bounce off without scoring. The Galaxy is for electronic boards only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eLocking shaft holes address a specific failure mode in aluminum shafts: vibration from the dart landing in the board loosens standard threaded shaft-to-barrel connections over 20–30 throws, shifting the dart's balance point and degrading throw consistency. Locking holes engage the flight stem to prevent this rotation. For casual play, this is a minor inconvenience; for players throwing 100+ darts per session, locking shafts are a meaningful quality-of-play improvement over standard shafts at the same price tier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"gre-desc__section gre-desc__section--alt\"\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"gre-desc__label\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003ch2 class=\"gre-desc__h2\"\u003eComplete specifications.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"gre-desc__spec-group\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"gre-desc__spec-group-label\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cul class=\"gre-desc__spec-list\"\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"gre-desc__spec-key\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gre-desc__spec-val\"\u003eHathaway\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"gre-desc__spec-key\"\u003eItem Number\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gre-desc__spec-val\"\u003eBG1057\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"gre-desc__spec-key\"\u003eUPC\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gre-desc__spec-val\"\u003e672875904877\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"gre-desc__spec-key\"\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gre-desc__spec-val\"\u003eChina\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"gre-desc__spec-key\"\u003eWarranty\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gre-desc__spec-val\"\u003e180-day limited warranty\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"gre-desc__spec-key\"\u003eAge Recommendation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gre-desc__spec-val\"\u003e10 and up\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"gre-desc__spec-key\"\u003eDart Type\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gre-desc__spec-val\"\u003eSoft tip — for electronic dartboards only\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003c\/ul\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"gre-desc__spec-group\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"gre-desc__spec-group-label\"\u003eDimensions \u0026amp;
