Differences of Soft Tip Darts and Steel Tip Darts

Let’s discuss about the differences of soft tip darts and steel tip darts in the weight, point and cost.

1. Weight

Steel tip darts can weigh up to 50 grams, though you will have a very difficult time to locate many varieties above 30 grams. Most people throw darts that weigh between 20-25 grams.

Soft tip darts are different; you will need to check with your local leagues for the weight requirements. At the time of this posting, 16 grams darts seem to be a safe bet no matter where you are throwing. You can get a heavier soft-tip dart, but some leagues and tournaments may ban them due to the construction or restraints of the machines that are being used. An opponent can challenge the weight of your dart if they feel it is too heavy.

2.Points

Steel tip: You have two options, fixed-point or moveable-point.

Fixed-point: This is where the point is solidly fixed into the dart, it does not move. This is the most common type of dart you will see.

Moveable-point: Guess what, these point's move! There are a number of different varieties on the market, but the theme behind them all is the same, "Help decrease the chance for a bounce-out". When you throw the dart, you want the point to be fully extended. The hope is that if you hit a wire, the back-end (or barrel) will then move forward and force the point into the boards as opposed to letting the dart bounce off the wire and fall to the floor.

3.Price

One of the biggest misconceptions amongst new throwers is that if the dart costs a lot, they are more accurate. This isn't like a car, the more bang for the buck! You can pick up a set of 18-gram brass darts for around $10 and throw them as well, if not better, than a set of $140 tungsten darts. Prices are based on a number of items like: the material of the dart, moveable-points, special paint jobs and etc. Also, you will notice that the same set of darts in some catalogues may have two different prices attached to them depending on the case you want them sent in.

Soft Tip Darts

Playing darts is a very popular sport nowadays. Darts could be divided into two major varieties: soft tip darts and steel tip darts. The major differences that will be discussed between them are weight, point and cost.

According to the material of these two types of darts, with the exception of wooden darts, both soft and steel tip darts are made of the same materials.

They are made of lightweight wood shaft with turkey feather flights (no parts to replace). In the early days darts were made out of wood and then for a long time barrels were made out of brass.

Brass is the lightest of the three metallic darts listed here. It is a soft alloy (copper & zinc) that makes it easy for manufacturers to shape and work with. So the barss darts belong to soft tip darts. Brass Darts are probably the most common and relatively inexpensive. Soft tip darts prices vary from a few dollars and are the best option when you buy your first set of darts. They are an inexpensive way of trying different weights and styles without investing too much money.

Nickel silver darts is yet another soft tip dart which consists of nickel, copper and zinc. Like brass, they are around the same price range and are generally higher in quality. What's more, soft tip darts are suitable to play at home and they can be a good choice for the occasional dart players.

Electronic Dart Board 1

The electronic dart board just gets better and better. The original boards came out in the 1990's and caused a lot of controversy at the time that still goes on today. The purists hate them saying it isn't proper darts, but no one can deny their popularity. The big advantages of electronic dart board are that the electronic game is safer and a lot more convenient than the traditional game. The darts have plastic tips so electronic dart boards are less dangerous and are much less likely to put holes in your wall and I think most of us appreciate the automatic scoring of electronic dart board, especially for the cricket game.

There are now two types of electronic dart board around, the standard board with hundreds of holes in it and the new so called BristleTech board, which is similar to the standard bristle boards so you can use both steel tip darts and soft tips, and it still has the electronics to do all the scoring for you as well. This is truly the best of both worlds and is surely the way of the future.

The latest from Halex is the Armada Bristletech dartboard that has a laser that marks out the throw line for you! So you get to use whatever darts you like and the built in laser shows you where to throw from as well, fantastic! This is surely the ultimate standard board around for both schools of darters at the moment. Who knows, the electronic dart boards may be used in the big tournaments like the Las Vegas Classic before long.
