I have seen these heads a number of times on ebay but have no idea how good they are. For the price they defentially look sweet.

This is probably the third time in a month that I've seen people asking about these. The consensus of all the posts was that the porting looks like it was half assed and u'd be better served going with Patriots, PRC's, or anyone elses. You get what you pay for.

If the porting is like how it's pictured, they're seriously a waste of money man. Don't bother. PM Gunnar from Patriot, he'll answer any question u have about their 243's. They're slightly more expensive, but much much better. Any heads that you'd get from basically any sponsor will be for that matter. If your gonna get heads, don't just get the cheapest you can find like those from ebay.

The $675.00 price is for one head only. Darts are cheaper and should flow better.

Call me crazy, but with all the wonderful sponsors this forum has, I wouldn't send $700+ to "Proflomofo@yahoo.com" if you made me.
