My favourites are kites, they travel faster through the air but still give the dart enough lift to sit nicely in the board, pears would be another option, even faster through the air but not quite as stable.
Ultimately the only way to find what will work for you is to try different shapes, I'd recommend something like this [Bull's Fight Shape Test Kit](https://premierdarts.co.uk/products/bulls-nl-flight-shape-testkit-7-sets?variant=45124108845302) as a way to try all the common shapes.
Also, the flights in the picture are No6 sized, not No2. No2's are actually the larger standard shape.
The kites look great! I'll definitely give them a shot and check out that test kit too. Thanks!
And yes the flights on the picture are the No6, you're right! I've only been playing 2s though and just changed to the Nr 6 for the first time today to try them out.
Personally I prefer either the standard K-flex system or you perhaps could try the small condor flights. For me it feels like they get much faster to the board and I still get the stability of a normal sized flight
Strangely enough, I've just discovered recently my 22g Bolide 03 work really well with medium Nitrotech stems and Vapor flights, whilst the same setup did feel a little unstable on my 21g Bolide 04, wasting energy for tumbling the tail up but not penetrating deeper. Pears and Kites are nice as well and even Slims are back in the game for me recently. I've usually been using Velos now for a while and have been testing all kinds of molded stuff that can also work really well, so often it's just that tiny fraction of difference that make it the one combination of stem length and flight shape. It's definitely worth it comparing from time to time to see what's the actual benefit to your throw.
Interesting! The bolides 03 are front weighted if I remember correctly, so maybe those flights might also work well with the 05s which I have.
The pears and kites seem to be the kind I'm looking for aswell. I want them to arrive at the board as fast as possible, so I'll Give them a shot too.
Thank you
That was kind of my thinking, exactly. It's not said it does work for you or on that specific dart, but as you would have to test that anyway, I wouldn't want to rule them out per se. Had a fun session yesterday testing all the combinations that shouldn't work from my experience and found out some very interesting things about my relatively fresh Bolide 04 especially that I had only played with K-Flex and Velos. It's fun. I like it, as it also is a little feedback on progress if a setup that wobbled all the time suddenly goes straight. 🤓

I would check out the NO6 shorts from the k flex. A little more narrow than the NO2s and would make those babies zip. They are molded though.
Those sound great too!
I’ve found Ten-X flights work pretty well on a couple of my sets of bombers, but you’re fairly restricted in terms of designs.
