FAQs
Are these darts suitable for professional play?
Yes, the Winmau Sniper 2 darts are manufactured to professional standards, offering the balance and grip required for competitive play.
Can I use these on electronic dartboards?
No, these are steel tip darts and should only be used on traditional sisal dartboards. Using them on electronic boards will cause permanent damage.
What does the 24g weight signify?
The 24g refers to the weight of the barrel in grams. It is a popular weight for players looking for a heavier, more stable feel in their throw.
How often should I sharpen the tips?
Sharpen only when the tips become dull or show visible burrs. Excessive sharpening will remove too much metal and shorten the lifespan of the point.
Is the grip texture suitable for beginners?
The grip is very pronounced, which can help beginners find a consistent finger position, though personal preference for grip texture varies.
Troubleshooting
Dart falling out of the board
Check if the dart tip has become blunt or hooked; use a sharpener to restore the tip profile.
Dart wobbling during flight
Ensure the flight is fully inserted into the stem and is not bent; replace the flight if it is torn.
Barrel feeling slippery
Clean the grip grooves with a soft-bristled brush to remove any buildup of skin oils or chalk.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, verify that your dartboard is a regulation-sized sisal board, as these steel tips are designed for soft-fiber surfaces and can damage electronic or plastic dartboards. When assembling your setup, ensure the flights are pushed firmly into the shafts and the stems are tightened correctly to the barrels.
Care instructions:
- Inspect the steel tips regularly for burrs or bluntness; use a diamond dart sharpener to maintain a fine point.
- Keep darts stored in a dedicated case when not in use to prevent the tips from bending or damaging surfaces.
- Replace flights periodically when they show signs of fraying, as damaged flights will negatively affect the aerodynamics of the 24g barrel.
- Avoid dropping darts on hard floors (concrete or tile), as this can cause the tips to deform or the barrels to chip.
