Bottelsen darts, the inventor of the hammerhead retractable dart system, claims it is the only US based manufacturer in the darts world. Now 25 years in the business, that hammerhead system rocketed the company to fame and they are still at the cutting edge even now, with an enhanced hammerhead technology for their latest version of the famous hammerhead darts and they are in the soft dart business as well with their skinny darts, that come in soft tip and convertible kits. Still at the cutting edge of darts technology, they are company producing quality products, and their darts are always worth a look when getting a new set.

The hammerhead system that made Bottelsen so famous is, like all great inventions, a very simple idea. The tip of the dart is connected to a very small spring rather like a tiny pogo stick, so that the tip can be pushed back into the barrel by a small amount. This means that if the dart hits a wire of the spider on the dartboard, the tip absorbs the shock of impact by retracting into the barrel, whilst hopefully the forward motion of the dart enables the dart tip to slide down the edge of the wire and enter the dartboard. It works very well and it wasn called the Hammer Head No Bounce dart for nothing, it greatly reduced the amount of bounce outs caused by the dart board wire and staples.

One of the great things about Bottelsen darts is the great names they give their darts, like Megathrust, Devastators and Nemesis, not to mention Ooh , now what marketing genius came up with that! However joking aside, Bottelsen make some of the most famous darts in the game. The original hammerhead darts were 90 % tungsten but they have a 95 % tungsten dart as well with the Devastator dart that is super slim and has spinning shafts as well. With a variety of grips to choose from with smooth coarse and edge grip.

The ultimate grip style for any dart has to be Bottelsen's Gorilla Grip darts, with the most coarse knurling you have seen, matbe not everyone's idea of a good grip perhaps, but just an indication of how Bottelsen tries to cater for all tastes of darters.

The darts with the ridiculous name, Ooh Aah darts were developed from the Bottelsen GT series, but the barrels are much straighter and yes they also have the hammerhead tip and of course the Bottelsen spinning shafts too. Whilst they are famous for their steel tip darts, Bottelsen also do a big range of soft tip darts as well, like their Skinny which as you might expect are a thin barrelled dart that can also be bought as a convertible dart set. Bear in mind you can get screw in steel tips for practically any soft tip dart to covert it for the steel tip game. The Skinny convertibles have genuine Hammerhead action steel tips. They also do a soft tip version of most of their steel tip range as well like their GT, Devastators, Gorilla grip range and of course those ridiculously named Ooh Aah you might expect from Bottelsen, they have crazily named darts range called Kick Ass, which are at the less expensive end of Bottelsen's range with lots of different colored shafts and flights.

Another innovative idea from Bottelsen is their Precision Grip Range, that has special indents in the dart to place your fingers and thumbs, so you grip the dart the same each time, helping with that all important consistency.

So whether you are a steel tip or soft tip darter, Bottelsen Darts has a set for you, with 25 years of consistent quality, you won be disappointed.

Amare Stoudemire could be sidelined for two months, the second straight season the New York Knicks forward will miss significant time because of injury.

The Knicks said Tuesday that Stoudemire would have left knee surgery and could be out six to eight weeks, more than twice as long as originally estimated when he was hurt during the preseason.

"It's tough. I mean, Amare's a big piece to our puzzle, man. I don't care how you slice it," Knicks coach Mike Woodson said. "We'll be here when he gets back, that's for sure. We've just got to hold the fort down until he's able to get back in a uniform and on the floor playing."

Stoudemire missed the first two preseason games with a bruised left knee, then scored 18 points in 27 minutes against Toronto on Oct. 19. He was bothered by more pain and the Knicks announced he had a ruptured cyst and would be sidelined two to three weeks.

But he and the Knicks decided after further discussion and consultation to have the procedure.

Stoudemire struggled through an injury-filled 2011-12, though none of his problems were with his surgically repaired knee. He missed 15 games, 13 with a bulging disk in his back, and his average of 17.5 points was his lowest since his rookie season.

His absence further hinders the Knicks' hopes of getting Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony to mesh in their first full season together. The Knicks are just 31-40 when both play, and both have said they expected things to be better this season with their first training camp.

"It's disappointing. I definitely thought this was going to be the season that we had a chance to go out there and play together in a full season, no injuries or things like that," Anthony said. "But at the end of the day, you can't control that. You can't control what happens to your body, you can't control injuries.

"We want him to just be healthy. End of the day, when he's ready to come back, his jersey will be hanging in the locker and we'll be ready for him."

The Knicks could opt to play Anthony at Stoudemire's power forward spot, which they did with success late last season.

New York did get good injury news Monday when centre Tyson Chandler was able to take part in portions of their practice. He was diagnosed with a bone bruise in his left knee after a collision in an exhibition game last Wednesday, but hopes to play Thursday in the season opener at Brooklyn.

That game could be in jeopardy as New York recovers from damage to the subway system caused by Hurricane Sandy. The NBA said Monday it was still evaluating games for later this week.
