Soft tip darts are most commonly made from three different materials, brass, nickel-silver, and Tungsten. Tungsten darts are the most popular of the three types. Tungsten is a more dense metal which allows the darts to have a smaller diameter than brass darts of the same weight. Most tungsten darts are made from 80%-90% tungsten. Soft tip tungsten darts are usually made with 80% tungsten to keep the weight down. Brass and Nickel-Silver alloys are easier for the manufacturers to work with than tungsten, so they tend to come in a wider variety of grips. Tungsten also tends to be more expensive than Brass or Nickel-Silver.

 

The tips for soft tip darts come in two different sizes, 2ba and 1/4". 2ba tips are by far more common than 1/4". Local leagues have different regulations for the weights of soft tip darts. 16-18 gram darts are the most common and are accepted in most leagues. Because soft tip darts are light than steel tip darts, darters usually use flights with less surface area to reduce drag.
