Target Swiss Points vs. Winmau Points: The Honest Truth

Having put both through their paces over the last three months, I'm ready to weigh in. Target's Swiss Point system is a game-changer for quick swaps, especially if you're experimenting with different lengths or textures on the fly. However, I've noticed slightly more bounce-outs on older boards compared to Winmau's standard points. The Winmau points feel 'grittier' and seat more securely for my throw. What are your thoughts on 'click-and-change' vs the traditional press?

I'm still using the points my darts came with! Is it really worth upgrading or switching?

My local pub board is about 10 years old, Winmau points or nothing for me. I've seen too many fancy 'snap-in' points break off when they hit the wire.

@The Newbie, definitely worth experimenting once you find your grip. A longer point can help with grouping if you're tight on the treble.
