It’s essential for dart players to choose right darts. According to different materials and shapes, dart has types of straight, torpedo and barrel. The key to choose darts is to see the weight of darts. 

In international competitions, the weight limit for hard darts is 50 grams. It is generally agreed that the average weight of a suitable dart is 20-24 grams. More than 24 grams of darts are considered heavy darts, and below 20 grams are considered light darts.

 

 

Darts are usually composed of four parts: dart head, pole, barrel and wing. Dart barrel is usually made of tungsten alloy, so this kind of dart is called tungsten alloy dart. Dart barrel is the focus area of the dart as well as the control area for throwing darts. 

 

Tungsten alloy darts has good hand handle, stable center of gravity, and its flight line is easy to master. Common poor quality darts are short, and the dart shaft and dart wing are merged into one. It feels too light and the flight path is unstable. Tungsten alloy barrel weight is 16~30 grams or so. 

 

The most important thing for choosing darts is how to set darts. The choice of weight and style of darts does not have a fixed standard. You can try to use a variety of darts, but remember comfortable feeling is important. When buying tungsten darts, be sure to pay attention to packing, because the proportion of tungsten is very important for tungsten darts. The higher the proportion is, the better, and the more expensive the dart is. The main advantage of high quality tungsten dart is that the barrel will be smaller and minimize backlash.
