What is Better: Steel or Tungsten Darts?

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.
