Steel Tip Darts

Steel Tip Darts

Darting has given hours of entertainment since the Middle Ages. Once dart-throwers gain some knowledge of the game and which kinds of darts work best with their personal style, it's normal to form preferences. For instance, using traditional dart boards and steel tip darts is a combination many people choose.

The Right Steel Tip Darts for the Right Board
When using an electronic dart board, soft tip darts are the correct darts to choose. However, steel tip darts are suited for traditional dart boards. Many preferred steel tip darts are 20 to 25 grams in weight. Some steel tip darts weigh up to 50 grams, but in is generally difficult to come across darts that weigh over 30 grams.

Steel Tip Darts with Fixed Tips
Fixed tip darts are the most common, traditional type of steel tip dart. They are named for their securely attached, immovable points. While some tips have replaceable tips, fixed tips are only replaceable with specialized tools.

The Advantage of Moveable Steel Tips
The biggest advantage of a moveable tip dart is its ability to reduce bounce-outs by up to 80%. After a moveable tip dart is thrown, it hits a dart board wire, and the barrel of the dart slides forward, pushing the point of the dart into the board. This way, the dart securely penetrates the board instead of bouncing off and falling to the floor. Due to the technology and the ability to replace the tips, moveable tip darts can cost a bit more than other darts.

Choosing your favorite steel tip dart
Many dart companies - DMI, Accudart, Dart World and LaserDarts are some of the most familiar dart makers - have many types of darts to choose from, in different price ranges. Remember the type of dart board you usually throw on when investing a set of darts. New boards work well with fixed tip darts; but moveable tips usually give the best results on older boards.

Ultimately, personal preference plays a big part in choosing the best type of darts for you. Experimenting with some different styles will help you figure out which dart works best for you.
