Types of Dart Shafts
Dart shafts come in a variety of materials, styles, and lengths. Dart shafts are made from nylon, polycarbonate, and aluminum. Nylon or plastic dart shafts are more common because they are a cheaper option, but they are therefore less durable than other materials and need to be replaced more frequently. Aluminum dart shafts may be more expensive, but they are more durable and less likely to be damaged during play.
The Mission Darts Saber Series is a popular choice that combines the lightness and strength of polycarbonate with the flight grip of an aluminum shaft. Saber Arrow shafts are made from strong polycarbonate, but also have an aluminum core and solid tip for better grip during flight.
Dart shafts come in two types: fixed and rotating. Rotating shafts are usually more expensive than fixed shafts and are for more competitive players. Rotating shafts prevent distractions and prevent the dart from falling off the dartboard by “spinning” when it touches the dart, making way for the next dart to enter the board.
Dart shafts come in a variety of sizes, including mini, extra short, short, tweeny, and medium, and are numbered widely from 1 (shortest) to 8 (longest) in brands such as Cosmo. 5 Does the choice of dart shaft make a difference?
Even if the dart shaft is small, it can affect the entire dart and its trajectory. The size of the dart shaft affects the overall length of the dart, and combined with different shaft shapes, it changes the dart’s trajectory and how it lands on the board.
The material of the dart shaft also affects the dart’s trajectory. For example, dart shafts made of metal are heavier than those made of nylon or polycarbonate. Although it is a small difference, the choice of dart shaft changes the total weight of the dart and can affect how the dart flies through the air.
How to choose the right dart shaft for you
The most important factors when choosing a dart shaft are the length and material. You should also consider where you hold the dart, as the influence of the shaft is related to the center of gravity. If you hold the dart at the front (closer to the tip), you should choose a short shaft, but if you hold the dart at the back of the barrel (closer to the flight), a long shaft is best.
For beginners, most new dart sets come with a set of short dart shaft pieces. This is a good shaft size to start with, as it is somewhere in the middle of the general shaft size chart. For professionals, it depends on the shaft the dart player uses for the tournament. Michael van Gerwen uses a shaft with a nylon ring grip, while Josh Locke opts for a polycarbonate shaft.
If you are a beginner, why not get a dart shaft research pack and try out different shafts to see what works best for you?
