I would also point out that there is no reason for Hasbro to continue to put the hole in the head of Elite darts other than to limit its potential performance. Those Nerfers that have experimented with FVJ, Kooshes, USCs, and various Voberries, have all noticed a dramatic improvement in performance and consistency. I'd argue that this design flaw is intentionally engineered into the Elite line of darts.

But at this point in time, with so many decent alternatives available to customers, it seems counterproductive to continue the practice. Thus, we have the "AccuStrike" line. Another example of the teacher learning from the student.
