Different Types of Darts

The game of darts originated before World War I, in European pubs. As the game has evolved, so have the different styles of darts. There are different tip options, flight options (the fins on the back), and multiple shaft materials to choose. Whether you are just starting,you're a seasoned pro, or you have a child that's looking into playing darts, there is a style out there for you.

Hook and Loop Darts

Hook and loop, or Velcro, darts are for children that want to start practicing. These darts are safe and inexpensive, and have a one-piece design. The tip has a hook and loop fastener on the end instead of a point, so there is no danger of injury in case of an errant throw.

Soft Tip Darts
Soft tip darts are a safer alternative in high-traffic areas, or areas around pets or children. These darts have soft, plastic tips and metal shafts. There are low and midrange versions of these darts, where some have interchangeable parts that can be adjusted to your throwing style. These darts must be used in conjunction with a digital dart board, so don't expect them to work on traditional cork or wood boards.

Brass Darts
Brass or copper darts have steel points and a brass shaft with plastic flights. These darts are good if you are a beginner, since they are inexpensive, and can be bent back into shape, or slightly molded to adjust to your throwing style.

Nickel Darts
Nickel darts have a bright, silver finish to the shaft, with a steel point and plastic flights. Some models have interchangeable flights. These darts come in different weights. You may prefer these darts if you are looking for a lower-cost model that you can adjust to your throwing style.

Tungsten Darts
Tungsten darts are very strong and will hold up to heavy play. They have tungsten shafts,and steel or tungsten points, with plastic flights. If you play in a dart league or want to play competitively, these higher-cost darts may be for you. These darts will containremovable flights that you can purchase in different weights to customize to your playing style.

Traditional Darts
Traditional darts, or re-creations of the very first darts, are made with a wooden shaft, steel point, and turkey feathers for the flights. If you are a traditional player and you're looking for a lightweight dart, this model may be for you.
