Are tungsten darts better than other types of darts?

Tossing up between a few different dart sets? You might be wondering what makes tungsten darts stand out from the rest — and we’ve got the answers!

Tungsten is one of the top 10 densest materials on earth, meaning tungsten darts will last much longer than their brass or nickel counterparts. Plus, tungsten is a non-reactive metal — the oils on your hands won’t degrade the surface of the darts, and the grip won’t wear down or smooth out.

We also recommend tungsten darts because the material allows for slimmer dart designs. When darts are too thick, they can block off space on the board and make it harder to get those high scores in narrow places!

Does the percentage of tungsten matter?

While shopping for tungsten darts, you’ll find they come with a percentage, normally between 80 and 97%. Tungsten is often combined with nickel for a dart that won’t break — while tungsten is dense, it’s also brittle on its own!

Here’s a quick guide to tungsten dart percentages:

• A 95% tungsten dart will have 5% nickel. A higher percentage of tungsten means the dart will be denser and slimmer — this is a great choice if you prefer to play with smaller, thinner darts.
• The lower the tungsten percentage, the thicker the dart will be. Look for a lower tungsten percentage if you prefer larger darts, have bigger hands, or can’t find a comfortable set of darts to play with.

How do I choose between long and short barrel darts?

There’s no right or wrong answer when it comes to the length of your dart barrels — it all comes down to personal preference. Long barrel darts are better suited if you have larger hands or use more fingers to grip darts. Short barrel darts can limit your grip options, but this might be the go if you have smaller hands!

What you really need to look out for is the weight of the dart. Heavier, high density darts tend to fly straighter through the air and require a lot of precision, which is why they’re often used by professional players. On the other hand, lighter darts fly in a parabolic trajectory, which is better suited to beginners who aren’t as accurate.

Ultimately, it comes down to what feels comfortable in your hand and helps improve your game. Good performance often comes from what’s comfortable, so have a game with a few different kinds of lighter and heavier darts and see what feels best and delivers the best results.
