Viper AL-XIII Aluminum Dart Shaft

Aluminum shafts are significantly more durable and resistant to bending or breaking upon impact. They provide a rigid, consistent flight path that doesn't warp over time like nylon or plastic alternatives.

The locking holes allow you to use a dart tool or a simple pin to tighten the shaft onto the barrel with extra leverage. This creates a much tighter, more secure connection that prevents the shaft from loosening during gameplay.

These shafts feature the standard 2BA threading, which is the universal size for the vast majority of dart barrels on the market. They should be compatible with almost any standard setup.

Shorter shafts generally result in a faster, more direct flight path because they reduce the overall drag on the dart. They are a popular choice for players who prefer a more aggressive, straight-line trajectory.

While aluminum is much stronger than plastic, it is still metal and can bend if the dart hits a hard surface at a severe angle. However, they are easily straightened by hand and offer far greater longevity than non-metal options.
