FAQs
What is the primary benefit of 90% tungsten?
90% tungsten provides higher density than lower-percentage alloys, allowing the barrel to be thinner while maintaining the same weight.
Can I use standard points with the Fornax darts?
The Fornax series utilizes the specialized Switch Point system, which is optimized for specific point designs to ensure a secure fit.
Is this dart suitable for beginners?
While highly effective, the Fornax is designed as a professional-grade tool with advanced features that are best utilized by intermediate to advanced players.
How do I clean the barrels?
Use a dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe the barrel. Avoid harsh chemical solvents that could damage the tungsten finish.
Does the torpedo shape affect how I throw?
Yes, the torpedo shape features a wider front and tapered rear, which encourages a specific grip position to take advantage of the center of gravity.
Troubleshooting
Dart point feels loose
Ensure the Switch Point is fully seated in the locking mechanism and check for debris in the point housing.
Dart flight is inconsistent
Check that the stem is tight to the barrel and inspect the flight for any creases or tears that may affect drag.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure your flight and stem setup complements the torpedo weight distribution. The Switch Point system is compatible with standard Winmau replacement points designed for the interface. For care, wipe the barrels down with a soft, lint-free cloth after each session to remove oils and chalk residue. Store your darts in a rigid case to prevent the points from dulling and to protect the precision-machined grip from nicks or scratches.
