Product Information

Full details

The Winmau Whizlock system is designed for dedicated dart players who want to eliminate the frustration of flights popping off during intense matches. This system uses a dedicated punch to create a hole in your flight, which is then secured by a metal cap to lock the flight onto nylon shafts, ultimately extending the longevity of your equipment. While the system is highly effective at stabilizing your setup, it does require a specific initial investment in the punch tool and requires the use of compatible dart flights to function correctly.

FAQs

Does the Whizlock system work with carbon shafts?

The system is designed primarily for standard nylon shafts that have a slot at the top to accommodate the cap.

Can I use the Whizlock punch on all flight shapes?

Yes, the punch is designed to work with standard, slim, and pear-shaped flights as long as they fit within the punch guide.

Do I need to replace the cap every time I change a flight?

The caps are reusable, provided they do not become bent or deformed during removal.

Does the extra weight affect my throw?

The weight of the metal cap is negligible for most players, though it may provide a slight rear-weighting that some players actually prefer for stability.

What should I do if I lose the metal cap?

It is recommended to always keep a spare set of Whizlock caps in your dart wallet, as they are small and easy to misplace during a match.

Troubleshooting

The cap keeps sliding off the shaft.

Ensure the flight is pushed all the way down onto the shaft so that the cap fits firmly into the designated seating area.

The punch tool is not creating a clean hole.

Check the punch tool for built-up plastic shards from previous flights; use a small needle or toothpick to clear the internal chamber.

The flight feels loose despite using the cap.

The nylon shaft prongs may be worn out. Replace the shaft, as even the best flight locking system cannot compensate for a damaged shaft base.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Prevents flights from falling out during high-impact play
Increases the lifespan of nylon shafts
Maintains perfect 90-degree flight alignment
Fast and easy to install once the flight is punched

Cons

Requires a one-time purchase of the dedicated punch tool
Not compatible with all types of integrated flight/shaft systems
Adds a small amount of weight to the rear of the dart

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your darts, insert the end of the flight into the dedicated Winmau Whizlock punch tool. Press the lever to create a clean, circular hole at the base of the flight. Slide the metal Whizlock cap through the hole and push the flight onto the nylon shaft, ensuring the cap seats snugly against the shaft's grooves. This system is designed specifically for standard nylon shafts. To care for your system, keep the punch tool clean of plastic debris to ensure the hole remains clean, and carry spare Whizlock caps in your dart case in case of loss during flight changes.
