I cant edit my previous post for some reason but I have since changed my darts to the Phil Taylor phase 5 natural (silver) 26 gram darts and I think they are the biz .

http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/0703981/Trail/searchtext%3EDARTS.htm

Got them in Argos on wed morning and they set me back nearly 70 euros but it would be well worth the money spent if they do the trick.

I'm still using the same short shaft and dimplex standard flight combo as I always had but I do seem to like the shorter barrels and still keep the weight up without having big barrels blocking the trebles.
