I've had a chance to  play  experiment with these new Z-Darts for a few days now. I am extremely impressed with both the performance and quality of the product.

First of all, they arrived in a sturdy padded envelope. Almost unbelievably, none of them were squished or damaged. I suppose there's a first time for everything 😉

Secondly, the quality on this batch was excellent. They are all slightly oversized, so they fit nice and snug, they are all the same length, there's no glue residue on the heads, and the tips all seem to be securely fasted to the body.

Admittedly, I do not have a chronograph. But I'm able to get a sense of the comparative speed with some of my other favorite darts, and judge the reliability.

The consistency is definitely on par with AccuStrikes and "Waffle Darts", and the range is better. While it pains me to admit it, they actually perform slightly better than RadEagles. I still think K'nex are the best overall, but the Z-Darts are second, with Rads a close third. And frankly, with RadEagles at a premium nowadays, they're the best alternative out there at the moment.

I'm definitely giving them a "buy" recommendation.

EDIT: They're now available in ten colors
