Playing darts is a fun and relaxing game for nearly anyone, and you don't just have to play it in a bar even though darts and pubs go in hand-in-hand it seems. You can play in your own home with family and friends as well.
The best part about playing darts is that it doesn't take expensive equipment to get started. No matter whether you're a recreational player or looking to compete, here's what to look for so you get the best darts for you.
Step one is deciding whether or not you want to play darts just for fun or in competitions. You'll also want to decide if you'll need a board that will hold up to casual play, frequent play, advanced play, or tournaments.
Decide which dartboard type you prefer to use, so you'll be able to determine the best darts that go with it. There are bristle dartboards, made from tightly bound sisal fiber, that require steel tip darts. Electronic boards, on the other hand, use soft tip darts.
To choose the darts themselves, take a little time to test them. Experiment with different brands, weights, and shapes to narrow down the selection to your favorites. What you need not to do is focus on price. Some people throw great with cheaper darts while others need more expensive darts. You need to find the best darts for you skill level and as you progress you can move up to better and better darts.
To find the best darts, you need to remember that there are several different parts of a dart. The barrel is the part that you'll be gripping, and the quality of the barrel is directly related to how much your dart will cost.
Dart barrels come in smooth or knurled finishes, depending on the grip desired, and in different metals. Stronger metals allow for thinner barrels, and thinner darts can be grouped more closely. This is important if you're a competitive player who wants an accurate aim. Obviously, weight affects game play as well.
Brass is the largest and heaviest barrel type. These darts are the least expensive and are what's mostly seen in bars. Basic and cheap, these darts wear down more quickly because they have soft barrels.
Nickel-silver darts are a mid-price type, just as heavy as brass, but a little thinner. They're harder and more durable, so the barrel won't wear down early. Nickel silver is a good choice for beginners interested in a decent set of long lasting darts.
Tungsten is a strong, dense, heavy metal that makes a thin, durable dart. It also makes the dart much more expensive, with the most expensive containing between ninety-five and ninety-eight percent tungsten and costing in excess of a hundred dollars. Less costly tungsten darts contain a lower percentage of this metal.
Lighter darts are easier to throw, but are less stable in the air. Heavier darts may make you tired over time, however. Darts with longer shafts are also more stable. Nylon, plastic, and metal shafts are all used, as well as composites of metals and plastic.
So as you can see, there more to playing darts then just throwing a pointy object at a target. For the best darts for your needs, look around our site, read some of the tips we have, watch some of the videos and then shop in our store for the best deals on darts, boards and supplies.
