FAQs
What material are these darts made from?
The barrels are made from 90% tungsten.
Are these darts suitable for beginners?
Yes, while they offer premium features, their balanced design and good grip can benefit players of all levels. Beginners may need a short adjustment period to the grip.
How do I maintain the black PVD coating?
Clean the barrels with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can scratch or remove the coating.
Can I change the flights and shafts on these darts?
Yes, these darts use standard interchangeable shafts and flights, allowing you to customize your setup.
What is the main advantage of the 90% tungsten material?
90% tungsten allows for a denser, slimmer barrel profile compared to lower tungsten percentages or other materials. This enables tighter groupings on the dartboard.
Does the 8-ball design affect the grip?
The 8-ball design is primarily aesthetic. The grip is enhanced by the overall barrel shape and the black PVD coating, not specifically the 8-ball marking itself.
How should I store these darts to prevent damage?
It is best to store them in a dart case. This protects the tips, barrels, and flights from bending, breaking, or becoming loose.
Troubleshooting
Darts not sticking in the board
Ensure the dart tips are sharp and securely tightened. Check if the dartboard is overused in that area; try a different section or board. Ensure you are throwing with sufficient force and a proper angle.
Grip feels slippery
Clean the barrels with a dry cloth to remove any oils or moisture. Ensure your hands are clean and dry before throwing.
Barrel feels unbalanced
Verify that the tip, barrel, shaft, and flight are all securely attached and undamaged. Tungsten darts are designed for balance; any imbalance usually stems from a loose component or damaged part.
PVD coating is wearing off
This is a natural sign of use. While the coating provides grip and aesthetics, heavy use will eventually cause wear. Clean gently and consider it a sign of a well-used, trusted dart.
