Soft tip darts at factory direct prices!

Darts is a great game but like any other sports you need the right equipment. A good set of soft tip darts can help you  improve your game and add to your enjoyment.  Before buying any soft tip darts it's good to know what to look for. Here are some tips for buying soft tip darts:

Most soft tip darts are made of brass, nickel silver, or tungsten.

Brass is the softest and lightest metal so brass soft tip darts need to be bigger and bulkier to achieve the desired weight and due to their softness are more prone to wear. Brass soft tip darts are usually the least expensive.

Nickel Silver is slightly heavier than brass and a bit harder so darts are a bit more durable but still bulky.

Tungsten is the hardest and heaviest metal so darts can be smaller and slimmer than brass darts of the same weight allowing for tighter groupings. Tungsten tends to be brittle so it is mixed with nickel silver to avoid breakage. The higher the percentage of tungsten the smaller and slimmer the dart can be. Tungsten soft tip darts are also much more durable so grooves and knurling are not as quickly worn down. By far the most popular choice for soft tip darts.

The weight of the soft tip dart is a matter of preference. How hard you throw the dart will determine how heavy the darts should be for you to use them accurately. The heavier the dart, the harder you have to throw it. Soft tip darts of 16 grams and 18 grams are the most popular.

Consider also where the soft tip dart is weighted. Some soft tip darts are weighted toward the front which are more suited to someone who lobs or arcs the dart. If you have a straight throw consider a soft tip dart that is more evenly weighted.

A spinning shaft on your soft tip dart will reduce deflection when another dart lands next to it making room for more soft tip darts in a small area. This is a handy feature if you are accurate and often throw tight groupings.

Soft tip dart grips are usually smooth, knurled, diamond cuts, rings or a combination of each and are also a matter of preference. The best grip offers control, consistency, and accuracy.

Lastly and maybe most importantly is the design of the soft tip dart. Having darts with the right look can make you more comfortable, which can result in a very real psychological advantage.
