FAQs
What is the benefit of 80% tungsten in darts?
80% tungsten allows for a higher density in a smaller barrel. This means the darts are slimmer, allowing for tighter groupings on the board and less deflection when darts land close together.
Are these darts suitable for beginners?
These darts are expertly engineered for players seeking performance. While beginners can use them, the precision and 24g weight are often best appreciated by intermediate to advanced players who have developed a consistent throwing style.
How do I clean the titanium nitride coating?
Wipe the barrels with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher grime, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the coating.
What type of dartboard should I use with these darts?
These are steeltip darts, so they are designed for use with traditional bristle dartboards. They are not suitable for electronic dartboards.
How long does the titanium nitride coating typically last?
The titanium nitride coating is highly durable and designed to resist wear from intense play. With proper care and normal use, it can maintain its finish and protective qualities for a significant period, often years.
Does the set come with everything I need to start playing?
The set includes the dart barrels, high-quality flights, and shafts. You will need a bristle dartboard and potentially a dart case for storage and transport.
Can I change the dart points?
Yes, the dart points are replaceable. If they become dull or damaged, you can unscrew the old points and screw in new ones of a compatible size.
Troubleshooting
Darts feel slippery
Ensure your hands are clean and dry before throwing. If the titanium nitride coating feels slippery over time, consider using a grip enhancer or cleaning the barrels with a mild soap and water, then drying thoroughly.
Flights or shafts are loose
Check the threading where the shaft connects to the barrel and tighten securely. Ensure flights are properly seated on the shaft. Consider using flight locks or extra-tightening shafts if this is a recurring issue.
Dart points are bending or breaking
Always use the provided point protector when darts are not in use. Ensure you are throwing at a quality bristle dartboard. If points are consistently bending, they may need to be replaced. Check for any damage to the board that might be causing excessive impact.
Inconsistent flight path
Ensure the flights and shafts are undamaged and correctly assembled. Check that the dart barrel is clean and free of debris. Verify that the weight and balance of the dart feel comfortable for your throwing style.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

- Firmly attach the included shafts to the dart barrels. Ensure they are screwed in securely.
- Insert the flights onto the rear of the shafts. Most shafts have a groove or mechanism to hold the flight in place.

Compatibility:

- They are compatible with standard dart accessories such as flight punches, spare shafts, and flight protectors.
Care:
- Cleaning Barrels: Wipe the tungsten barrels with a soft, dry cloth after use to remove any oils or residue from your hands. For deeper cleaning, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed immediately by drying.
- Maintaining Points: Use the aluminum point protector to keep the sharp tips protected and straight. Periodically check the points for sharpness and replace them if they become dull or bent.
- Storage: Store darts in a case to protect them from damage, moisture, and extreme temperatures. Ensure the point protector is on when stored.
