Has anyone tried these metal nocks? If so, what are your thoughts?

Haven't tried them but did inquire about them from a supplier. He wasn't to excited about them even though they sold them. Still I would like to shoot some.

I've recently tried them.
At first I thought the groove was too wide--it was very loose nocking the arrow--until I realized that you have to push it right into the string until you HEAR the "CLICK".
I felt it is really a tight fit, and it says on the package to be used with center serving .011" - .018".
My other concern is, the aluminium nock (G5)seems to score the serving more than the plastic nocks--and to be honest--I have NOT seen any difference in the consistency. BOTH the plastic nocks and the G5 are shooting IDENTICAL.
I think I'll stick with my plastic nocks. More so now, asI've justfitted a new set of Winners Choice S&C's--maybe if I had the older set on I would have continued using the aluminium nocks and really see what it does to the serving. I'm a bit reluctant and afraid that the aluminium nocks damage the serving--as it sure looks like it can.

I'm with ampahunter, tried them and thought they weretoo loose around the string.

Another problem was they were too tight going into the shaft marked for that diameter or they didn't fit the shaft.

I'll not buy more of them.

It sounds like the good 'ol plastic nocks are still the way to go. Thanks for your guys' feedback! It just seems like the plastic nocks are really outdated as far as technology goes.
