I would like to see a major league pitcher through one of those, with a more rigid dart, those look way flimsy.
The springiness of the dart is part of the reason the atlatl is so effective. I've included a quote from Bob Perkins, one of the foremost atlatl experts.
"The dart is like a long, loose spring," he explained "and when accelerated by the atlatl it compresses and stores energy. That energy is then used to push itself away from the atlatl, enabling the dart to launch smoothly and effectively."
