What darts does Mike De Decker use?

De Decker throws 22g Mission signature darts. His Mission barrel is 60mm long and 95% tungsten, with a constant ring grip along the length, a smooth bull nose at the front and a smooth rear section with a laser-etched Mission logo. Mission describes them as the longest darts on the professional tour. The standard set comes with black points, black Mission Sabre shafts and his own signature flights. The R2.5 version is made in 22g and 24g with Mission's R2.5 screw-in points, so the point can be changed without repointing, and the Black & Gold version has a PVD coating.
