    PS. You’ll see a note that they cost me 120 pounds. Great investment. Could probably sell them for 50.
    In both our sets, the green is the lightest

        Yes, it was driving me nuts.

          Funny you mention that about the green!… I haven’t weighed my set but I’m sure the green is the odd ball! Just seems to react slightly different than everything else.

            In my set of TCs they would be 1gs except the green is just too light, this can't just be a coincidence can it?
            This is how you play darts ,MVG two nines in the same match!

              Yeah, right? I am thinking the same! There is something fishy with the greens.

                Okay guys. I'm not kidding.. My green is also a bit weird and lighter than the others, though it's not by much!

                  I thought the green off the spot was just my bogey ball but now I’m starting to think different .
                  I also have a set of TC’s ..

                    Do you miss them thin or thick Starsky

                      If I miss them it’s normally thick but of course I’ve over compensated and missed them thin as well.

                        Yes. 95% of my misses on the green are thick! We need to get these greens looked at!

                            I’ve always blamed it on putting unintentional RH side on the stun shots as I normally play most shots to brown of the cushion with RH side. That would make it miss thick if you’ve either not compensated for the throw or put it on without realising it.
                            Never get the same issues with the yellow though …

                                Do you buy it from the same shop that sells tartan paint ?
