Steel darts
What
are steel tip darts? Steel tip darts are widely used around the world when playing darts on a wool dartboard. Steel tip darts main components: tip, barrel, shaft, and flight. They are called “steel darts” because the tip is made of steel. On TV, we often see professionals playing steel darts, which are played on dartboards made of bristles. This means that you can try to emulate a professional steel dart game yourself.

Steel darts have sharp metal tips that can scratch walls and floors. Children should always play under adult supervision. Over time, the tips will damage the sisal material of the board and you will need to replace your steel dartboard with a new one. Read our guide on caring for your dartboard for some helpful tips on keeping your dartboard in good condition for as long as possible.

Types of Steel Darts
The
three most common types of steel darts are made of tungsten, nickel silver, or brass. Tungsten steel tipped darts are most expensive but give the best quality. Tungsten arrows are more durable and you will see arrows with different percentages of tungsten, such as 90% tungsten. The higher the tungsten content, the better the quality of the arrow.

Tungsten is heavy, so the higher the tungsten content, the smaller the arrow needs to be to achieve a certain weight. Smaller darts are better for more serious players looking to improve their game, as they take up less board real estate and allow more darts to fit side-by-side on the higher part of the dartboard. Brass and nickel silver arrows are great choices for beginners and casual players for whom this small advantage is less important.

Who are steel tipped arrows good for? Steel darts are suitable for most ages, but because the tips of the darts are sharp, supervision is required when playing with younger players. If you want to start playing darts at an early age, an electronic dartboard for soft darts is recommended. When playing soft darts, you do not use sharp steel darts, but soft darts with plastic tips.

A wide range of players use steel darts, from beginners to top professionals who use this type of darts when appearing on television. For those who are starting darts for the first time, it will be a fun experience to find the darts and throwing style that suits you. It may take some trial and error to find which darts work best for you. Therefore, we recommend trying different weights and styles to find the one you prefer more.

We have a helpful guide to help you find the darts that are best for you. It includes tips on choosing a set from the 1,000+ darts we offer. If you are a beginner, we recommend starting with 26-28g darts, as you are more likely to keep the darts straight.
