Tungsten Alloy Barrel Advantage

The barrel forms the main part of a dart. When we are speaking of "buying a (new) dart" we mean getting a new dart barrel. 

Today's standard material is tungsten alloy. Tungsten alloy is a very dense material, so darts with a considerable weight can be made quite slim. The invention of tungsten alloy darts barrel had a big impact on the sport. With the new darts barrel, it was possible to achieve much better grouping than before, and the averages in pro games have improved dramatically. It is not an overstatement when this development is referred to as "the tungsten revolution".

Before the tungsten revolution, darts barrel were mainly made of brass. Brass darts barrel are still used by some players because they are much cheaper than tungsten’s. But brass darts are ancient technology now.

Because of technical difficulties with manufacturing a 100% tungsten dart barrel is not available. All "tungsten" darts barrel you can buy are in fact made of tungsten alloys, with Tungsten alloy being the most common one. When you buy a dart barrel the amount of tungsten in the alloy is given by a percentage number. Tungsten darts are available from 80% to over 90%. The more tungsten the slimmer - and the more expensive - the dart is. If the high-percentage tungsten darts are worth the higher price is an open question. 80% tungsten maybe good enough for almost everyone.
