FAQs

Steel tip darts have a fixed metal point and are thrown at a bristle (sisal) dartboard. That is the traditional format used by most leagues and by the professional tours.

Soft tip darts have a flexible plastic point and are thrown at an electronic dartboard. The plastic tip triggers the board's sensors so the game scores itself. Soft tip darts are also weight-limited, typically 16 to 20 grams, because electronic boards are built for lighter darts.

Browse steel tip darts or soft tip darts.

There is no single correct answer, which is exactly why we run the lending library. Most steel tip players land somewhere between 22 and 26 grams, and most soft tip players between 16 and 20 grams, but grip and balance matter as much as weight.

The best way to find yours is to throw a few. Our Dart Lending Library lets you borrow real sets for 10 business days, keep what works, and only pay for what you keep.

Brass is the most affordable and the thickest for a given weight. Nickel silver sits in the middle. Tungsten alloy is the densest, so a tungsten barrel of the same weight is noticeably slimmer, which lets three darts group more tightly in the board. Higher tungsten percentages mean slimmer barrels.
