Dimplex Flights: and other similar styles are actually hard flights which have been embossed with a texture. The bumpy or ribbed surface tends to stiffen the flight, which some darters consider desirable. The extra surface area also adds a small amount of drag to the flight, which makes the dart slightly more stable in some cases. The various embossed types of flights are generally a little harder to insert into a metal shaft, due to increased thickness. Use a dart tool or knife blade to gently spread open the slots at the back of the shaft.

Flight Protectors: are small metal or plastic devices that fit over and protect this area. The life of a set of flights may be greatly extended by using Flight Protectors. They are also reusable and may outlast many sets of flights.

Soft Flights: are made of a flexible plastic sheet, preprinted with a variety of designs and then folded into shape. Adhesive (glue) holds the layers of plastic together. If the flight is torn during use, the layers can be pressed together with fingers and the adhesive will "heal" the tear. Another benefit of this type of flight is that a Soft Flight will often flex out of the way if another dart hits it. These flights are available in hundreds of bright, attractive designs. Also known as "Reseal Flights".

Shafts play an important role in tungsten darts. There have many materials shafts:

Plastic Shafts - Inexpensive, and available in many colors, but break fairly easily. Good shafts until you start throwing tight groups and breaking lots of shafts. Materials are usually polycarbonate or nylon, some have replaceable tops for greater longevity.

Composite Shafts - Composite type shafts, like the Alamo or Quiver, have plastic bases that thread into the darts, combined with aluminum or other metal alloy tops that hold the flight. These are excellent shafts, quite durable, and will not vibrate loose as easily as solid aluminum shafts. Generally available with replaceable tops for economy and convenience.

Solid Aluminum Shafts - More rigid and durable than Plastic or Composite shafts, in many styles, some with decorative engraved stripes, spirals, etc. They may tend to vibrate loose, especially on heavier darts. When used with thick flights, such as Dimplex or Nylon, the slots may need to be pried open slightly, with a dart tool or knife blade. Will normally bend instead of breaking when hit; just straighten for more use.

Aluminum shafts often vibrate loose when playing, so rubber O-ring lock washers are highly recommended. This only occurs when there is a metal-to-metal contact, so plastic shafts do not normally need the lock washers.

Spinning Shafts- A variety of shaft styles are now available, that allow the flights to turn out of the way when struck by another dart. Spinning shafts do nothing to improve the flight of the dart through the air, but they do allow tighter groups by letting the flights align with each other. Also, these shafts will greatly reduce torn flights.

There are many materials of flights in tungsten dart.

Hard Flights: made of a stiff polyester plastic that holds shape well. The layers are permanently sealed together by heat during manufacturing. Because the plastic is harder, they don't tear as easily as Soft flights however if they do tear, they cannot be resealed and are ruined. Hard flights do not flex like Soft flights when hit, but do "pop off" the shaft when hitting another dart. This is desirable as it reduces deflection and allows tight groups. Hard flights were originally made of a clear plastic, which resulted in fairly dull colors in printed designs. During the last few years, Melinex, a type of opaque plastic, has been used for printing hundreds of brighter designs.

Nylon Flights: made of rip-stop nylon fabric. These dart flights are very hard to tear. The stiffness varies according to the weight and type of fabric used by the manufacturer, but is roughly midway between Soft and Hard flights. The most common point of wear with this flight is at the front, where it is inserted into the shaft. Since rip-stop nylon fabric is a thicker material, it is important to pry open the slots on the shaft for a properly loose fit to avoid damage to the flight. Nylon flights are extremely common and available in thousands of different designs.

For everyone who serious about the game of darts, then they want to make sure that their dartboard setup is at the correct Dart Board Height and Dartboard Distance. The bull's-eye must be 5ft 8in (173cm) above the floor. This should put the bull's-eye approximately at eye level for most people. The front of the dartboard to the Oche (Throw Line) is the Dartboard Distance and must be 7ft 91/4in (237cm). This is especially important, for people who want to make sure that you have an official dartboard setup.

It’s also important to consider putting a dart mat behind the dart board. This will help keep the vibrations or the movements of the board from creating damage in the walls of home. And remember that when throw a dart there is a lot of force that is dissipated from the momentum of the dart. If someone does not have a mat behind the board, then this could cause damage to walls.

Now that understand how to appropriately have dartboard setup done in home and what the correct Dart Board Height and Dartboard Distance is, let’s take the appropriate steps to do so. It's important that consider the location of dart board so that do not damage anything or hurt anyone. It's also important that have the appropriate distance from the dart board to throw darts.

If there have tiles or laminated floors that could get damaged or do damage to darts then it would be wise to put a rubber bat or even a carpet on the floor. This will stop the dart points from getting dull and will minimize the darts sticking into the floor.

It is always a good idea to mount a black board next to the dart board to help easily keep score when you are playing darts games. The reason why black board work better than paper is when game’s over, we can just wipe away the writing and start all over again. no one can accuse others of cheating, because everyone can see clearly what have written down.
