Which darts are right for you?

Want to choose quickly? Start the dart selector: answer three short questions and you'll immediately find the darts that suit you.

Choosing your first real set of darts is harder than it seems: weight, material, grip and shape together determine how the dart feels in your hand and how it flies. These four questions will help you make a good choice quickly.

1. What weight?

Most players throw darts weighing 22 to 24 grams. Heavier darts (25–26 g) fly more stably and are more forgiving of minor mistakes; lighter darts (18–21 g) require a more precise throw. Just starting out? Choose 22–24 grams.

2. Brass or tungsten?

Brass – affordable, with a thicker barrel. Great for getting started.
80–85% tungsten – slimmer at the same weight, with better grouping. The next step up for more frequent players.
90–97% tungsten – the thinnest and most durable; the choice of competitive players.

3. What grip?

A rough grip (rings, knurling) provides more hold but can feel sticky if your hand sweats. A smooth barrel is easier to release. Not sure? Choose a medium grip.

4. What barrel shape?

Straight – the most versatile, suitable for most grips.
Torpedo – centre of gravity at the front; ideal if you hold the dart by the front.
Scallop – cutouts for a fixed finger position.

Don't forget flights and shafts

Standard flights with medium shafts are a safe starting point. Does your dart fly with the tail up? Try a shorter shaft. Does it dive? A longer shaft or larger flight will help.
