FAQs
Are these darts suitable for a beginner?
While high quality, the aggressive grip and heavier 24g weight are often better suited for intermediate or advanced players who have established a consistent throw.
What is the barrel material?
These darts are made from 90% tungsten, which allows for a thinner barrel compared to brass or nickel-silver.
Do these darts come with flights and shafts?
The kit includes 3 darts; always check the specific retail packaging for included accessories like spare flights or shafts.
How do I maintain the black coating?
The black coating is durable, but avoid throwing against other darts too frequently or onto concrete to prevent unnecessary scratching.
Can I change the points on these darts?
Yes, but it requires a specialized dart point re-pointing tool, as the points are press-fit into the tungsten barrel.
Troubleshooting
Dart falling out of the board
Ensure the dart points are sharp; you may need to use a point sharpener if they have become blunt.
Shafts frequently coming loose
Use O-rings or specialized flight/shaft locking systems to prevent vibration from loosening the connection.
Dart wobbling in flight
Check if your flights are damaged or bent; a symmetric flight setup is crucial for stable aerodynamic performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Winmau Blackout darts in peak condition, ensure the shafts and flights are securely tightened before every match. Being made of 90% tungsten, these barrels are durable but can be damaged if dropped on hard surfaces; it is recommended to use a dart mat to protect the points. If the grip becomes clogged with skin oils or debris, use a soft-bristled brush to clean the knurling. When choosing compatible accessories, these barrels feature standard 2BA threading, making them compatible with the vast majority of aftermarket stems and flights.
