FAQs
What is the weight of these darts?
These darts weigh 22g, which is a popular weight for professional-level control and balance.
Are these suitable for beginners?
While anyone can use them, the aggressive grip and specific weighting are better suited for players who have developed a consistent throwing technique.
Can I use these on electronic dartboards?
No, these are steel-tip darts and are strictly intended for use on traditional bristle dartboards.
What is the material composition of the barrels?
These darts are crafted from premium tungsten, chosen for its density and durability.
How often should I sharpen the points?
Sharpen as needed whenever you notice the points becoming dull or causing the dart to bounce off the board surface.
Troubleshooting
Darts bouncing out of the board
Ensure your throw has sufficient force and that your dart points are sharp, as blunt points are more likely to rebound.
Inconsistent flight trajectory
Verify that your flights are properly attached and not damaged; replace bent flights to ensure stable aerodynamics.
Grip feeling slippery over time
This is often due to a buildup of skin oils; clean the barrel with a mild soap solution and a soft brush to restore the grip texture.
Pros and Cons
Pros

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up these darts, ensure that you match them with high-quality shafts and flights that suit your individual throwing style. Since these are steel-tip darts, they are exclusively compatible with traditional bristle dartboards.
Care Instructions:
- Store in a dedicated dart case to prevent the points from dulling or bending.
- Periodically clean the barrel grooves with a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and debris that can impede the grip.
- Regularly check that your dart points are sharp; if they become blunted, use a dart sharpener to lightly hone the tip, being careful not to remove too much metal.
