Bottelsen Darts, Made in the Usa
Bottelsen darts, the inventor of the hammerhead retractable dart system, claims it is the only US based manufacturer in the darts world. Now 25 years in the business, that hammerhead system rocketed the company to fame and they are still at the cutting edge even now, with an enhanced hammerhead technology for their latest version of the famous hammerhead darts and they are in the soft dart business as well with their skinnys darts, that come in soft tip and convertible kits. Still at the cutting edge of darts technology, they are company producing quality products, and their darts are always worth a look when getting a new set.
The hammerhead system that made Bottelsen so famous is, like all great inventions, a very simple idea. The tip of the dart is connected to a very small spring rather like a tiny pogo stick, so that the tip can be pushed back into the barrel by a small amount. This means that if the dart hits a wire of the spider on the dartboard, the tip absorbs the shock of impact by retracting into the barrel, whilst hopefully the forward motion of the dart enables the dart tip to slide down the edge of the wire and enter the dartboard. It works very well and it wasnt called the Hammer Head No Bounce dart for nothing, it greatly reduced the amount of bounce outs caused by the dart board wire and staples.
One of the great things about Bottelsen darts is the great names they give their darts, like Megathrust, Devastators and Nemesis, not to mention Ooh&Aah , now what marketing genius came up with that! Seriously though they do produce some excellent darts. The original hammerhead darts were 90 % tungsten but they have a 95 % tungsten dart as well with the Devastator dart that is super slim and has spinning shafts as well. With a variety of grips to choose from with smooth coarse and edge grip.
Talking of grip, Bottelsen have a range called Gorilla Grip with an extra coarse knurled grip for that extra secure grip when throwing your darts, not everyones idea of a good grip perhaps, but just an indication of how Bottelsen tries to cater for all tastes of darters.
The darts with the ridiculous name, Ooh Aah darts were developed from the Bottelsen GT series, but the barrels are much straighter and yes they also have the hammerhead tip and of course the Bottelsen spinning shafts too. Whilst they are famous for their steel tip darts, Bottelsen also do a big range of soft tip darts as well, like their Skinnys, which as you might expect are a thin barrelled dart that can also be bought as a convertible dart set. In fact any soft tip dart is convertible to steel tip by just getting a screw in steel point. The Skinnys convertibles have genuine Hammerhead action steel tips. They also do a soft tip version of most of their steel tip range as well like their GT, Devastators, Gorilla grip range and of course those ridiculously named Ooh Aahs.
As you might expect from Bottelsen, they have crazily named darts range called Kick Ass, which are at the less expensive end of Bottelsen's range with lots of different colored shafts and flights.
A novel idea from Bottelsen is their Precision range, which has a fluted barrel so you can place your fingers on the barrel the same way every time to aid in consistent throwing technique with a thumb and finger indents in the dart.
So whether you are a steel tip or soft tip darter, Bottelsen Darts has a set for you, with 25 years of consistent quality, you wont go far wrong with a set of Bottelsens.

You can buy a retro kit which has all the parts... but all you really need is a belt.. just back out the current belt holddown bolts and add the center to it.
