FAQs
What is the total weight of these darts?
These darts weigh 23 grams, measured at the barrel weight.
Are these darts suitable for electronic boards?
No, these are steel tip darts and must only be used on sisal or bristle dartboards.
What does PVD finish stand for?
PVD stands for Physical Vapor Deposition, a process that bonds the black coating to the metal surface for superior durability.
Can I replace the shafts and flights?
Yes, these darts are compatible with standard 2BA shafts and most common flight shapes.
Is the grip too sharp for long practice sessions?
While it is an aggressive grip, most players find it provides necessary control. If your hands are sensitive, you may prefer a light touch or a different grip style.
Do these darts come with a case?
Please check your specific package contents, but generally, it is recommended to purchase a protective hard case for professional steel tip darts.
Troubleshooting
Darts bouncing out of the board
Ensure your points are properly sharpened and that you are throwing with a trajectory that enters the board at a perpendicular angle.
Dart trajectory is inconsistent
Check that all three flights are identical in shape and condition; uneven or damaged flights will cause unpredictable flight paths.
Grip feels slippery after intense play
Wipe the barrel with a clean, dry microfiber cloth to remove skin oils and chalk residue that may settle into the grip grooves.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Winmau Sniper Black darts, always ensure your flights and shafts are properly seated before every match. If a shaft becomes damaged or bent, replace it immediately to maintain the center of gravity.
Care instructions include:
- Board Maintenance: Keep your sisal dartboard properly rotated to prevent excessive wear in the treble 20 section.
- Storage: Use a protective dart case to prevent the steel tips from getting blunted or damaged when not in use.
- Cleaning: Use a dry cloth to wipe down the barrels to remove perspiration or debris that might accumulate in the grip grooves.
- Tip Care: Should the tips become dull, use a professional dart sharpener gently—do not over-sharpen, as this can damage the board fibers.
