FAQs
Can these darts be used on electronic dartboards?
No, these are steel tip darts and will damage the sensors on electronic or plastic-based dartboards.
Why is the 26g weight important?
The 26g weight provides more kinetic energy and stability, which can help beginners feel the dart better during the throw and ensure it penetrates the board deeply.
Are the barrels made of pure tungsten?
The barrels are made of a high-quality tungsten alloy, which allows for a thinner dart compared to brass or nickel, enabling tighter grouping.
How often should I sharpen the steel tips?
Sharpen as needed. If you feel the point sliding off the wire or failing to penetrate the board, a quick touch-up with a stone sharpener is recommended.
Are the flights and shafts replaceable?
Yes, the Cypher darts use industry-standard threading, allowing you to swap out shafts and flights for your preferred style.
Troubleshooting
Darts frequently falling out of the board
Check if the board's fibers are dry or if the points have become blunt and require sharpening.
Flights falling off during play
Use flight protectors or ensure the shaft rings are tight enough to hold the flight securely in place.
Darts landing at an angle
Experiment with different flight shapes or shaft lengths to alter the aerodynamic profile of the dart.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your Cypher darts, ensure your flight and shaft combinations are securely tightened. Because these are steel tip darts, they are strictly compatible with traditional sisal (bristle) dartboards. Care for your equipment by rotating your board frequently to avoid over-wearing specific segments, which keeps the dart tips sharp for longer. If the points become blunt, use a professional dart sharpener to maintain the tip profile, taking care not to over-sharpen and damage the steel structure.
