FLIGHT

Flights are available in a variety of shapes, sizes and designs. A player’s throw velocity should determine what style of flight will work best. Experiment with different flight shapes until you find the one that works best for you. Flights allow you to personalize the look of your darts.

SHAFT

The shaft provides spacing between the flight and the barrel. Shafts are manufactured from various materials, such as nylon, aluminum, or polycarbonate, and are manufactured in varying lengths. Choose a shaft that allows a comfortable feel and considers the flight trajectory. For maximum stability, select the shortest shaft that is comfortable for you.

BARREL

Varying widely in weight, length, grip, and diameter, the barrel of a dart should be chosen to match your style of grip and throw. Barrels are generally made of alloy, nickel, silver, or tungsten. Alloy and nickel silver barrels are less expensive than tungsten but tend to be wider in circumference. Tungsten barrels offer the advantage of a much slimmer dart, which can yield closer groupings, increasing your scores.

TIP

The end of the dart that makes contact with the board. Soft tip darts feature a more flexible tip made from various polymers designed for modern electronic dartboards. Soft tips can come in a variety of shapes and colors due to their construction. They may also range in durability, with the toughest tips featuring a reinforced inner core to strengthen it against damage. Soft tips are easy and cost-efficient to replace, and it is always a good idea to have some extras on hand just in case.
