Tungsten is also a very durable material, and the machined grip will not wear down as quickly as on Brass or Nickel/Silver darts. This means smaller diameter barrel, better "feel", and tighter possible groups on the dartboard. They are more dense than Brass or Nickel/Silver darts. Nickel/Tungsten darts are made of a high-tech material composed of Tungsten particles bound together with Nickel. Originally tungsten was only a small percentage of the dart barrel (40 - 50%), today most tungsten darts are between 80 and 95% tungsten. On softer metal darts, the grooves and rough knurling may wear down fairly quickly from skin acid, friction, and hitting other darts. It is also very durable, so a high-density tungsten dart resists wear and the grip will last much longer. Tungsten Darts - Tungsten is an extremely dense metal, heavier than lead. Otherwise, similar to brass darts, and is a great choice for beginner darters on a budget. However, Nickel/Silver is harder and therefore more durable, which prevents the machined grip from wearing away as rapidly. Nickel/Silver Darts - Like Brass, this is a fairly dense metal, is relatively inexpensive, and is easy to machine. Brass darts are often used as house darts in many bars and taverns to keep the costs down. Also, since brass darts are commonly mass-produced, the quality and consistency of the machining may vary considerably. Unfortunately, it is so soft that the machined "grip" may quickly dull and wear down, changing the feel of the darts. Brass is a fairly dense metal, is relatively inexpensive, and is easy to handle. There are also several materials used to make darts.īrass Darts - This is the least expensive type of darts. For more information on dart board height and throw line distance see dart board height. For steel tip, the distance is 7' 9 1/4" (2.37m) and the distance for soft tip is 8' (2.4384m). The distance to the throw line is measured from the face of the dartboard. The hieght is the same for both soft and steel tip boards and is 5' 8" (1.72m). The most common question about darts is how high should the dart board be and how far should the throw line be from the dart board. For steal tip boards, the dart only counts if it sticks in the board. For an electronic board it does not mater if the darts fall out of the board after it is thrown as long as the board scores the dart. The games played on both types of boards generally follow the same set of rules with slight variations for what is considered a point and what is not. There are two types of dart boards: electronic and steel tip dart boards. See our darts rules page for details on these games and more. Beyond the basic rules there are many different games, 301, 501, cricket, base ball etc. Each play used three darts and take turns throwing the three darts at the dart board. ![]() ![]() The most popular versions of darts consist of the same basic rules.
