These are basic guidelines to explain the complexities of darts and aid players in choosing their setup. It is important to keep in mind however that many of these choices come down to personal preference and how the dart feels in each player’s hand.

Dart Types

Brass Darts Brass is the lightest of the three common metallic darts. It is a soft alloy (copper & zinc) allowing it to be easily machined and therefore a more cost effective choice. Brass darts have thicker barrels which contribute to more bounce outs and more difficulty landing darts in a tight grouping. Brass darts are most suited for beginners and casual players.

Nickel Silver

Darts Nickel Silver is an alloy consisting of nickel, copper and zinc; ‘silver’ simply refers to the colour. It can be easily machined, and is approximately twice the price of brass and half the price of tungsten. Ideal for players with some experience looking to improve their game.

Tungsten Darts

Tungsten is a very heavy and dense metal. Tungsten itself is a powder and is typically mixed with other metals like nickel to form a tungsten dart barrel. It is harder to work with but will typically last longer than brass and nickel silver darts. On average, a 24 gram tungsten dart will be ½ the diameter of a 24 gram brass dart which will allow for tighter groupings on the board. Best for skilled players who demand the very best in their darts.

Dart Weight

Darts are available in various weights, Formula Sports supply darts in an extensive range from 17g right through to 42g. The most common weights are from 22g – 26g however it is very much a personal choice. The speed with which a player throws their dart will help determine which weight to choose. The lighter the dart the harder/faster a player must throw.
