Oche Physics: Rules of Thumb
For every 2 grams of mass added to the barrel:
↑
+1.7 cm Loft: You must throw the dart higher to compensate for gravity acting over a longer flight time.
S
10% More "Feel": Increased inertial resistance provides a clearer sensory signal for release timing.
V
-4% Launch Speed: Assuming equal muscle energy, the heavier mass leaves the hand slower.
∠
+1.6° Impact Angle: The dart enters more "tail-up," which assists in stacking darts in the treble bed.
