Hold A Steady Stance
You will have a much better chance of success if your stance is upright and steady. Don't attempt to lean forward and get yourself an extra inch or two closer to the dartboard;doing this greatly reduces your stability and makes it more difficult to aim effectively.

Distribute your weight evenly between both feet, all the while holding a comfortable stance. Never attempt to shoot in a motion that results in using your tiptoes.

Accuracy Over Velocity
Do not waste any energy trying to put a little extra velocity on your throws. The dart is not more likely to do what you want it to with extra speed behind it, so relax and focus on having a smooth throwing motion and follow-through instead. For best accuracy, your follow-through should take your arm on a continued path to the board after the dart leaves your hand, with your fingers pointing to the board.

The tip of the dart
When it comes to selecting a tip for your darts, the board you play on is the critical factor. The tip of the dart is either made from steel or a soft tip. The steel is weighty enough to stay in the bed of the traditional bristle dartboard. Soft tips are essential for use on the electronic dartboards.

Costs
The cost of your darts may influence your choice. Brass and steel barrels tend to be cheaper, so if you are buying a set for the first time to see whether you enjoy the game,you might wish to try these before committing to the more expensive tungsten darts, which can sometimes be 2-3 times as expensive.

What professionals use
Although the original question asked whether steel darts were better than tungsten, the answer is probably that a combination is best. Professional darts players will typically use tungsten barrels and steel tips.

Personal preference
No matter what the professionals do, however, nothing is more important than how comfortable you are throwing the darts when choosing them. Go to a shop which stocks a variety and they will usually allow you to try them. Experiment with differently weighted darts, different alloys and pick a set which feel right in your hand.

Whether you are playing socially with friends at a bar or attempting to participate in professional competitions, becoming a skillful dart thrower is challenging. Although the basic premise and rules of the game are easily accessible, the ability to hit your intended target with any consistency takes both time and practice. If you are looking to improve your skills, you need to refine the three areas that have the biggest impact on performance: your grip, stance and throw.

When holding the dart in preparation for your throw, use a solid, relaxed grip. Use at least three fingers in your grip -- your thumb and two others. Never form a fist with your grip, and don't put too much pressure on the dart; if there is any tension in the musclesof your fingers or your fingertips turn white from the force, you need to loosen your grip.Darts is a game of finesse rather than force, and you need to position the dart in yourhand lightly for an ideal shot.

In order to fly effectively, darts need a certain amount of weight behind them. The main part of the dart, the barrel, is usually made with metal alloy. Steel and tungsten are both used, as are brass and silver/nickel alloys. The advantage of tungsten over all other types is its density, meaning the dart can be quite weighty while still being slim. This is useful if you throw your darts in close groupings to one another on the board. Fatter shafts will tend to bounce off of other darts and may miss their intended target or even bounce off the board.
