The Winmau Switch Points are one of those products that make you wonder why nobody pushed this sort of thing harder sooner.
The big selling point was not just the points themselves, but how quick and simple the whole system is to use. The idea is straightforward: if you want to swap your points over, you can do it in seconds without making it into a big job, and that is exactly what came across on camera.
What stood out straight away was the tool. In the review, I showed how sturdy it felt in the hand, and that is a big plus because if you are changing points regularly, the last thing you want is something flimsy or fiddly. The Winmau system is built around rapid point change technology with a precision-threaded fit, and Winmau says the points are designed to lock in securely with zero wobble. They are also made from hardened high-carbon steel with a plated finish for grip, durability and corrosion resistance.
Using them looked exactly how you would want it to. Loosen the point, take it out, thread the new one in, tighten it up, and you are done. In the review, that was the real appeal — there was no messing about, no feeling like you needed a workbench and a full engineering setup just to make a small tweak to your darts. It was quick, clean and easy, which is exactly what players want if they are swapping styles, lengths or grip types.
Another thing I liked is that this is not just one fixed point option. The Winmau Switch Points range includes Smooth Silver, Smooth Black, Grooved Black, Grooved Silver, Wave Black, Wave Silver, Chain Silver Effect, and Chain Black, so there is plenty of choice depending on the sort of feel and board grip you prefer. On the current Winmau collection page, prices on the Winmau website range from £7 to £12, which lines up with what was mentioned in the review as well.
The main thing with these is convenience. If you are the sort of player who likes to experiment, or you want to freshen up your setup without replacing a whole dart, this system makes a lot of sense. It gives you flexibility, it is easy to use, and it feels like the sort of product that could become standard for a lot of players over time. Winmau also says the system is engineered for perfect integration with its Frontier Collection switch-point compatible darts, so it is clearly meant to be part of a wider setup rather than just a gimmick.
