Beginners typically start off using straight barreled darts with heavier darts that are easier to throw, such as 26g to 32g weight darts; we recommend choosing 26g darts because this configuration provides both straight barrel and short stem flights, making room for more Treble flights as you advance in your game.

At Darts Corner, we have developed an easy step-by-step guideline to assist in selecting an appropriate dart. Our staff can guide you in identifying an optimum combination of barrel and shaft as well as type of dart for your individual needs.
1. Select appropriate materials.
Just Tungsten or Brass Darts come in various materials, from wood to plastic and metals such as brass, silver and nickel. When competing non-professionally, personal preferences should guide your selection; you could become a professional player using any material which makes carrying and weighting them easily.
When starting out or on a tight budget, we advise using an iron dart. They’re durable and far more cost-effective than professional high-end Tungsten darts.
Dart professional players tend to favor Tungsten because of its even weight distribution, superior surface finish quality and resistance against wear and tear. High-end materials may incur more costly darts.
2. Evaluate Weights.
To experience different outcomes of playing darts with lighter, medium and heavier darts.
Darts that weigh 16g or 22g require less force for throwing, yet are harder to control once in motion. Heavy darts (26g+) fly more accurately while demanding greater physical effort when throwing.
Your dart selection should depend entirely upon your own taste and preference. By trying various weights, you should discover an ideally suited dart that meets all your criteria; if your throwing style varies frequently however, a middle weight dart may be suitable.
As an introduction, we suggest starting darters use 26g dart weight as this has proven optimally balanced for beginning players. 22g darts are considered standard among professionals.
3. Select an optimal barrel shape.
A dart’s barrel is what you hold when throwing. Start out practicing with straight barrels; as your skills improve, borrow darts from family and friends until you discover which style feels most natural in your hand after throwing.
You may also book an experience darts game designed specifically for you.
Beginning piano players should experiment with various grips to find one which best suits them; try three fingers, four fingers and the pencil-grip (wherein pencil is held similarly to how piano keys would be held) until finding what feels most natural for themselves.
4. Find Your Grip.
Metal darts offer various grip styles. In general, larger grip sizes provide increased safety – although not everyone may prefer this feature; ultimately it all boils down to how your dart is released from its case.
Starting from least-grippy options to most-grippy ones, there is the Ring Grip, Smooth Knurled with Knurled as well as Razor Grips available.
