Another model from Hungarian brand Cinege. This is a nice variation of the front weighted style which has got a decent level of grip pretty much full length of the barrel.
Its 80% tungsten so has quite a chunky front section but slims off along the middle and rear.
The middle section has the most grip due to the shark grip there but its not so aggressive that it sticks to the flesh as its slightly angled at the edges. I think it does have a little bite pushing forwards though.
Whats nice about these though is there is even a little bit of grip on the tapered nose and the wider chunky section above that has a mini shark style grip which is one of my favourite styles. My only issue was it kind of feels like it was changing the angle of my finger and thumb slightly due to its slight taper and thickness. I soon got comfortable with it though and would say if you have a slightly loopy style of throw you should find it works well for you.
Middle section is surprisingly comfortable to grip though and again its front weighted but feels nicely balanced still.
There is some grip on the rear and for me it did not fly too bad so obviously going to be better for natural grippers but it did feel more front heavy. So if you are a rear gripper that likes this style its fine, but if you are thinking of trying this style for the first time you only have 22g choice. So, if you are throwing 23g or 24g normally you should be fine with 22g but if you are normally lighter it may feel a little more front heavy than you expect.
Overall its neatly machined and looks a nice dart although the weight match on one barrel was off its not massively enough to spoil it, so nice quality overall.
I think its likely to suit front and middle grippers best though and its not too pricey so worth a try if you are unsure 🙂
