FAQs
Are these darts suitable for beginners?
While usable by anyone, their 23g weight and precision grip are specifically geared toward intermediate and advanced players looking for consistency.
Can I use these on an electronic dartboard?
No, these are steel-tip darts intended for sisal dartboards. Using them on electronic boards will cause permanent damage to the board's sensors.
How should I clean the Onyx coating?
Use a soft, dry lint-free cloth. Avoid chemical solvents or abrasive sponges, as these can strip the finish.
What is the primary material of the barrel?
These darts are crafted from high-quality tungsten, which allows for a slimmer barrel profile while maintaining a substantial 23g weight.
Does the grip wear down over time?
As with any professional dart, some minor wear is expected due to the 'dart-on-dart' contact in the board, but the high-density tungsten maintains its shape for years.
Troubleshooting
Darts are bouncing out of the board
Ensure the dartboard is not too dry. If the board is worn out or dehydrated, the fibers won't grip the steel point effectively.
Flights keep falling off during flight
Check the flight slots for debris or warping. If they are loose, use a flight punch tool or try a new set of flights for a tighter fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Winmau Andy Fordham darts perform at their peak, use a standard sisal dartboard and keep the surface properly humidified to extend the life of the bristles. Compatibility is limited to traditional steel-tip play; avoid using these on soft-tip or plastic electronic boards as it will damage the target surface. For care, wipe the barrels periodically with a soft, dry cloth to remove natural skin oils and chalk dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they can wear down the signature Onyx finish prematurely.
