FAQs
What is the benefit of a 90% tungsten barrel?
It allows for a thinner dart while maintaining significant weight, which helps in achieving tighter groupings on the board.
Can I use any points with the switch point system?
No, you must use points specifically designed to be compatible with the Ascend switch point mechanism.
Are these darts suitable for beginners?
While they can be used by beginners, they are specifically engineered for the needs of intermediate and professional players.
How do I maintain the grip on these darts?
Regularly wipe the barrels with a clean, dry microfiber cloth to remove skin oils and debris.
What does the parallel barrel shape mean for my throw?
It provides a consistent grip and balance regardless of where you hold the barrel, unlike front-loaded darts.
Troubleshooting
Dart point feels loose or wobbles during flight
Ensure the switch point mechanism is fully tightened or locked in the barrel slot.
Darts are consistently landing at an angle
Check if your flight and shaft combination is balanced; try adjusting the length of the shaft to alter the entry angle.
Switch point is difficult to remove
Use the designated switch point tool to apply steady, even pressure rather than force to prevent damaging the barrel threads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your darts, ensure the switch points are fully inserted and locked according to the specific mechanism instructions. These darts are compatible with most standard dart flights and shafts, allowing for high customization. For care, keep the barrel clean with a dry cloth to prevent oxidation of the tungsten. Avoid throwing the darts into hard flooring; using a high-quality surround or dart mat is highly recommended to protect the points and barrels from impact damage. If the switch point mechanism becomes stiff, a tiny amount of high-quality lubricant can be applied to the threads or locking interface.
