L-Style Kami Flights – Flexibility and Control
The L-Style Kami Flights are made from a specially developed flexible material, offering an excellent balance of durability and consistent flight performance. Compared to the classic L-Style Pro Flights, the aerodynamic Dimple Flights and the exceptionally durable Fantom Flights, Kami Flights stand out thanks to their softer material and outstanding resilience. Kami Flights are available exclusively as a Pro version and are used together with a Champagne Ring on a compatible L-Style Shaft.

L-Style Kami Flights – Flexible Champagne Flights from Japan
The L-Style Kami Flights are one of L-Style’s most distinctive flight series and combine the advantages of shape-retaining moulded dart flights with the characteristics of traditional paper and foil flights. The name Kami comes from Japanese and means “paper”. Designed and manufactured in Japan, Kami Flights feature a particularly flexible material, a permanently open 90° flight angle and a pleasantly soft playing feel.
- Original L-Style quality – Made in Japan
- Flexible special material with a paper-like feel
- Permanently open 90° flight angle
- Reinforced side edges for improved durability
- Integrated flight protector for additional protection
- Available exclusively as a Pro version
- Used with a separate Champagne Ring
- Compatible with standard L-Style Shafts
- Suitable for soft-tip and steel-tip darts
What are L-Style Kami Flights?
The L-Style Kami series was specifically developed to combine the advantages of moulded, shape-retaining flights with the characteristics of traditional paper or foil flights. While a conventional moulded flight reliably maintains its permanently open angle, the more flexible material of Kami Flights provides a softer and more natural playing feel.
The term Kami means “paper” in Japanese and describes the concept behind this flight series. The flights are designed to behave more flexibly than many conventional plastic flights without sacrificing the shape retention and proven quality associated with L-Style.
Like other moulded L-Style Flights, Kami Flights feature a permanently open 90° flight angle. They therefore do not need to be unfolded or realigned before play and provide a consistent setup from the first throw to the last.
Flexible material for a natural playing feel
The specially developed material used for L-Style Kami Flights is more flexible than the material found in many conventional moulded flights. When an incoming dart hits the flight, it can give way more easily. This may help reduce deflections during tight groupings.
Many players find the feel of Kami Flights softer and more natural. At the same time, they retain the typical L-Style shape with a permanently open 90° angle.
Reinforced side edges and integrated flight protector
To further improve the durability of the L-Style Kami Champagne Flights, the side edges have been reinforced. These particularly vulnerable areas are therefore better protected against cracks, notches and damage caused by incoming darts.
An integrated flight protector has also been added to the rear section of the flight. This provides additional protection during tight groupings and helps improve the overall lifespan of the Kami Flights.
The combination of flexible main material, reinforced edges and an integrated protective section makes the Kami series an interesting choice for players who prefer a softer flight but still value high durability.
Kami Flights are available exclusively as a Pro version
The L-Style Kami Flights are available exclusively as a Pro version. With L-Style, Pro means that the flight is used with a separate Champagne Ring.
The Champagne Ring is inserted into the designated opening at the rear of the flight. The Kami Flight is then fitted onto a compatible L-Style Shaft.
Unlike the L-Style EZ Flights, the Champagne Ring is not integrated into Kami Flights. There is no EZ version of the Kami series.
Kami Flights compared with classic L-Style Pro Flights
The classic L-Style Pro Flights and Kami Flights both belong to the L-Style Pro system. Both versions are used with a separate Champagne Ring on a compatible L-Style Shaft.
The main difference is the material. Classic Pro Flights are generally more rigid, while Kami Flights provide a softer and more flexible playing feel.
- Classic Pro Flights: More rigid material and a direct playing feel.
- Kami Pro Flights: More flexible material and a softer, paper-like playing feel.
Which version is more suitable depends on personal throwing style and individual preferences. Players who prefer a conventional, firmer flight often choose classic Pro Flights. Players looking for a more flexible material may prefer Kami Flights.
Kami Flights or Dimple Flights?
The L-Style Dimple Flights differ from Kami Flights mainly through their distinctive textured surface. The small indentations on Dimple Flights influence the airflow around the flight.
Kami Flights, by contrast, focus on flexible material and a paper-like playing feel. Both series feature a permanently open 90° flight angle but are designed for different player preferences.
- Kami Flights: Flexible material and a softer playing feel.
- Dimple Flights: Textured surface with distinctive aerodynamic characteristics.
Kami Flights or Fantom Flights?
The L-Style Fantom Flights are the clear opposite of Kami Flights within the L-Style range.
While Kami Flights are particularly flexible and soft, Fantom Flights are among the stiffest and heaviest flights produced by L-Style. They provide a very direct playing feel and feature a crystal-clear appearance.
- Kami Flights: Flexible, soft and more able to give way on impact.
- Fantom Flights: Exceptionally rigid, durable and significantly heavier at approximately 1 gram.
Compatible L-Style Shafts and Champagne Rings
Kami Flights are used with a separate Champagne Ring on a compatible L-Style Shaft.
The Champagne Ring stabilises the connection between the flight and shaft while also closing the open end of the shaft. This reduces the risk of Robin Hoods and provides additional protection for the shaft.
Kami Flights are not compatible with the modular L-System, as the L-System uses its own flights and shafts that can only be combined with other L-System components.
Who are L-Style Kami Flights suitable for?
L-Style Kami Flights are particularly suitable for players who prefer a more flexible flight with a softer playing feel. Their reinforced side edges and integrated flight protector combine flexibility with improved durability.
- Players who prefer a softer flight
- Dart players looking for a paper-like playing feel
- Players who achieve tight groupings
- Players who want a permanently open 90° flight angle
- Suitable for soft-tip and steel-tip darts
L-Style Kami Flights for soft-tip and steel-tip darts
L-Style Kami Flights can be used for both soft-tip darts and steel-tip darts. The important factor is that they are combined with a compatible L-Style Shaft and a suitable Champagne Ring.
The flexible material and permanently open flight angle provide a reliable and consistent setup for both types of darts.
Why choose L-Style Kami Flights?
The L-Style Kami Flights combine the shape retention of a moulded flight with the more flexible playing feel of traditional paper or foil flights. Reinforced side edges and an integrated flight protector further improve their durability.
Kami Flights are therefore an excellent choice for players looking for a soft, flexible yet shape-retaining flight. Their premium construction, permanently open 90° flight angle and proven L-Style quality make them a reliable option for ambitious soft-tip and steel-tip players.
