FAQs
Can I use these on an electronic dartboard?
No, these are steel tip darts and will damage the sensors and plastic surface of electronic dartboards.
Does this set include extra flights and shafts?
The product includes the standard professional setup; please check your specific packaging for included accessories.
Is 23g a good weight for a beginner?
23g is a popular standard weight. While it is personal preference, it provides good stability for most players learning proper mechanics.
How often should I sharpen the tips?
Sharpen only when you notice the tip is blunt or causing damage to the board surface; do not over-sharpen, as needles can damage sisal.
Are these tungsten darts?
Yes, Winmau Player Edition darts are typically made of high-quality tungsten, providing a slim profile despite the 23g weight.
Troubleshooting
Darts are frequently bouncing out of the board
Check your dartboard for "tired" sisal or excessive dryness. Rotate the board or use a specialized board spray to soften the fibers.
Flights keep falling off during flight
Use flight protectors or check if the slot in the shaft is loose. If the shaft slot has widened over time, replace the shafts.
Dart trajectory seems inconsistent
Check that all three darts have identical flight and shaft setups. Ensure the points are not bent or misaligned.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan and performance of your Winmau Willie O'Connor darts, follow these guidelines:
- Compatibility: These darts are strictly for use on sisal bristle dartboards. Do not use on plastic/electronic boards as the heavy steel tips will cause permanent damage.
- Setup: Ensure the flights are pushed firmly into the shafts. If using standard stems, verify they are tight against the barrel to prevent wobble.
- Maintenance: Regularly inspect the steel tips. If a tip becomes blunt or develops a burr, use a professional dart sharpener to lightly hone the point. This prevents the dart from tearing the fibers of your dartboard.
- Storage: Always store your darts in a dedicated case to protect the flights and shafts from bending when not in use.
