Troubleshooting
Darts consistently bouncing off the board
Check if your tips are bent or blunt; replace with new soft tips if necessary.
Erratic flight path
Inspect the flight for damage or folding; ensure the shaft is screwed tightly into the barrel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, verify that your soft-tip dartboard is properly powered and mounted at the regulation height of 5'8" (1.73m) from the center of the bullseye to the floor. When setting up, ensure the flights are fully inserted into the shafts to maintain aerodynamic stability. To care for your darts, keep them in a dedicated case when not in use to protect the barrels from impact damage. If you notice the tips becoming frayed or bent after heavy use, replace them immediately with standard soft-tip replacement points to prevent bounce-outs or potential damage to the electronic board sensors.
