So it's been a week. I've had these Double-Xs for seven days and fired hundreds of volleys, comparing them to my favorite RadEagles and the relative newcomers,  K'nex Type I's (Don't even get me started about the K'nex Type II darts. At this point I think they're mythical)

So here's my "official" report. All three of these darts have similar characteristics, including thickness, consistency, and center of gravity.

The Double-X's are really great darts. But they're heavier than RadEagles and K'nex darts, so despite having similar consistency, they consistently fall short in range. There are a few notable exceptions where brand new Double-X's had a better fit, and therefore similar range. But on the whole, they're heavier and just don't go as far as the other darts. The other issues I'm having is with flywheel blasters. Sometimes the Double-X's jam for no apparent reason. Especially in my Stryfes. But I still love 'em, and the price point is superb. But let's put it out there, they have their limitations.

I've discovered that K'nex darts are really exceptional. Only problem is, they're exceptionally expensive. I love the high velocity these darts achieve, and their dead-on consistency. But dayum, at $30 per hundred they're just not affordable in large quantities. Two hundred of these babies would go for 60 bucks. Ain't happenin' my friends. But otherwise sturdy, consistent, long range darts.

So the winner by process of elimination is RadEagles. Consistent. Affordable. Sturdy. Decent range. Good velocity.

So there you have it. RadEagles, still on top.
