Lookit, I've written extensively about Rads on this forum BigS. And folks like Spud and CLKEagle have corroborated it. They are without a doubt the best darts on the market today for the money. Period.

Personally, I think the foam on the RadEagles is great. I've repeatedly put them through some extreme punishment, and they've held up very nicely. Not indestructible, but WAY better than your average Nerf dart. I've got a highly modified CycloneShock that's horrible on darts. Genuine Nerf Elites usually get blown apart on the very first shot. Some of the generic clones can hold up for two or three shots. But Rads hold up for dozens and dozens of shots from ol' Shredder.

But to your original question, "are they Stiffer than brand new Elites", I'd have to say no, they aren't "stiffer". They are nice and pliable, like you'd expect good Nerf darts to be. But they are way tougher. So if you're really looking for stiffer, inflexible, more rigid darts, then Rads aren't for you. But if you want tough, long range, consistent, compatible, inexpensive darts, you can't beat Rads for the money.
