This is about all the different kinds of darts you could use to play the game of darts. It has changed a lot over the years, and whoever discovered that you could make darts out of tungsten is pretty smart!
In the late 1960's and early 1970's, there was a revolution in darts. The material from which darts were made changed dramatically. Darts were traditionally made from brass and were quite large.
Then along came tungsten, a very, very dense metal which meant that you could make a dart the same weight as you were using, but half the diameter. The advantages of that are quite obvious. The more darts you can get in treble 20 in 1 throw, the more you score.
You've only got 3 darts to kick off with. Three great big fat brass darts, a 180 was a pretty rare beast, but now 180's are very, very common place, with very thin darts. I can show you what I mean.
This is an example of what I was talking about. Now, these are brass darts and they weigh around 22 grams, 23 grams perhaps. Look at the size.
This is a tungsten dart that also weighs 21, 22 grams. Compare the two. It's much easier to get three of these fellows in the treble 20, than 3 of these.
Now, there are absolutely thousands of different tungsten darts out on the market. They're all extremely efficient and there's bound to be a set out there that suits you. Be it a little dumpy dart, a dum dum, or a long slender dart like this fellow, anything in between, all made of tungsten are extremely good value for money.
Now, there are no rules to say what sort of dart, what style of dart, what weight of dart, is the best for you. That, you must find out for yourself by picking up a set of darts and trying them and suddenly finding the one that really works for you. And that's a simple matter of trial and error.
