The material of the dart body can be plastic, brass, nickel alloy, and tungsten alloy which is made of tungsten nickel alloy with high gravity, and has good air power effect and durability. 

Darts of the same weight, tungsten alloy darts will be much smaller than other darts, and its throwing stability is higher. Therefore, most of the competitors would use darts made of tungsten alloy.

 

The main part of a dart is dart body, which is the soul of the dart. It determines the weight, texture, price and shape of dart. As dart body material is different, its characteristics are different. Here mainly talks about 6 kinds of darts.

 

 

1. Plastic dart: it is made of hard plastic, and is matched with a dart pin with a plastic dart tip. It has good security, but poor throwing feel. There are two types:simple and electronic scoring.

 

2. Wooden dart: it is usually made of cork, and the tail of the dart is feather. It is the most primitive dart.

 

3. Brass darts: they are inexpensive, with lighter weigh between 12 grams and 22 grams, mostly for beginners or children.

 

4. Nickel alloy dart: it is also a kind of lighter dart, made of nickel, copper, and zinc, mostly for beginners and children.

 

5. Titanium alloy dart: its front part is made of tungsten alloy, and the rear end is made of titanium alloy. Because the weight of titanium alloy is much lighter than tungsten alloy, its center of gravity is mostly in the very front, and its flight speed is fast. But the price is very high, about two times higher than senior tungsten dart.

 

6. Tungsten alloy dart: it is made of tungsten nickel alloy with alloy ratio ranging from 70%--97%. Tungsten alloy dart has heavy weight, high density, good air power effect and it’s durable. Darts of the same weight, tungsten alloy darts are much smaller in size than darts of other textures, which can raise the possibility of throwing darts into the same partition. The vast majority of professional athletes use tungsten alloy darts.
