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.

Military research & spending during the Cold War & Vietnam War was a major factor, as it led to the development and high-volume production of very dense materials such as nickel-tungsten for purposes such as armor-penetrating projectiles, as well as for tiny helicopter blade balance weights and a variety of nuclear energy applications.

High volume production of tungsten rod stock brought the price down, and many civilian uses were soon found for the material. With their sleek high-tech appearance and dense feel, nickel-tungsten darts were marketed as the "ultimate" in darts sets.
