Darts was caught up in the high-tech materials revolution, and nickel-tungsten darts soon became ubiquitous. Before the age of Internet shopping, hundreds, perhaps thousands, of darts shops opened worldwide to provide a growing range of darts supplies to darts enthusiasts.

Dozens of darts equipment manufacturers, both large and small, provided a vast array of merchandise to these new shops. In the early years of the 21st century, the industry consolidated, became much more competitive, and many of these pioneer darts companies went out of business.

Technology continues to influence innovation in darts, as seen in the recent trend towards highly milled textures and finishes on darts barrels. Many of these new designs would have previously been very difficult, and certainly very expensive, to create. Computer controlled machining centers have now become affordable for even small factories, and these machines can repeatedly duplicate incredibly precise machining projects.

It seems likely that darts designs will continue to evolve along with the materials and technology used to make them.

The new ultra-dense sintered nickel-tungsten material was revolutionary. It allowed production of new thinner darts, which in turn allowed darters to place their darts closer to each other, greatly increasing the likelihood of high scores such as 180's.

The new tungsten material was also more durable and resistant to corrosion, unlike brass darts that would quickly wear down and lose their machined grip. The sharp machined grooves of an N/T dart stayed gripping for much longer, which led to generally more precise manner of throwing. Highly textured tungsten barrels could just rest on the darter's finger tips instead of requiring the stronger squeeze often needed with the more slick brass darts.

Thin, streamlined darts made of dense tungsten soon displaced traditional brass to become the standard for competition, and manufacturers raced each other to introduce novel barrel designs. As the new high-tech darts commanded higher prices than traditional brass darts, the darts industry grew rapidly, and as part of their promotions began sponsoring major tournament and "pro" players.

To darters, the 1970s was a time of explosive growth for darts. Promoters organized new leagues, publicized regional and national tournaments, and heavily marketed new darts products.

The decade was also a period of relative peace and prosperity for most of the Western world, after the end of the Vietnam War. That prosperity meant that people could spend more time on leisure activities, and sports & recreations of all types built large followings, including darts.

Much of the new interest could be attributed to the development of darts made from ultra-dense tungsten, along with the darts industry that developed to make and market the new darts.

In the 1970's, there was some production of "tungsten darts", but they were often made of a much softer blend of copper & tungsten, a fairly common industrial material at the time.
