"ACCEPT NO IMITATIONS. CROWN DARTS ARE THE ORIGINAL AND BEST LAWN DARTS"

Since Crown Darts were launched in 2001, there have been an influx of cheap, foreign copies and imitations appeared on the market, which can be purchased in a number of shops throughout the UK.

Crown Darts UK LTD have had literally hundreds of reports from customers who have purchased an inferior set, only to find that upon first use, the inferior product has become a disappointment. Plastic flights breaking, or the threads being stripped, or simply that the inferior darts would not stick into the ground on account they were too light.

There are always going to be copies of every product or idea that is a good one. The trouble is that when a particular product has been designed fit for purpose, and that function requires it to last through fair usage, when a copy is purchased, it is also expected to last more than one day. Not the case with this product!

With the performance requirement of these lawn darts in mind, it is essential to have robust designs and the correct materials allocated to ensure longevity. The imitations have simply been copied, right down to the same fixing design of the flight to the body. Inappropriate materials have been used without the consideration of research and development, the result being a product that does not last at all.

To demonstrate their commitment to product development, Crown Darts UK have invested heavily in updated designs, tooling and improvements that are simply not matched by any other brand of lawn darts. This has been carried out over the period of time the product has been on the market, which is more than any other brand of Lawn Darts. Spare parts are also available to purchase year after year, to maintain your set for life.

It is usually the customer who is confronted with the problem of solving products breaking, or having to accept the poor performance of a poorly made imitation or direct copy. So Beware! When next considering purchasing similar products, if it doesn't say CROWN DARTS on the packaging, it's not the original and latest design.

NAME AND SHAME
The following information outlines sets you should beware of and think twice before purchasing;

Outdoor Darts by Garden Games UK / Pyramid Products. These are the worst for appearance/ breakages.

Garden Lawn Darts by Traditional Garden Games. The flights break in these sets. They are too light.

Garden Darts by Garden Games. These are Outdoor Darts re-packaged into Garden Games own boxes.

Spot On by Acme Whistles. At least these have brass bodies and are not copies of Crown Darts. However, they are not finished off very well and the elongated tips that stick in the ground are plastic and break.

Generally, any sets that are made by any garden games company, or sets with the product name 'garden darts' are simply cheap toys, not even worth looking at, let alone buying.
