How to choose the surface for
your darts? Just try out try out different barrel grips
that are available in the weight you have chosen. Some dart barrels have heavy
knurling and others are smooth, the heavier the knurling, the easier it is to
grip the dart. But extremely heavy knurling can cause darts to stick to your
fingers and mess with your accuracy, for the typical dart player, there is more
than one dart barrel that will work, just make sure to choose the one feels the
best and run with it.
How to choose the right dart weight? The
simplest way is try out multiple dart weights, try out all of the different
options that are available. Darts are available in weights from 12 grams to 50
grams. Most dart organizations allow for darts up to 50 grams, but it is rare
to see someone throwing with darts heavier than 30 grams. Go to your local dart
store and throw the same dart style in each weight class, the speed in which
you throw the dart will help determine which weight to choose, the lighter the
dart the harder or faster you have to throw it. Besides, the location of the
weight on the dart barrel is also important, some darts are heavier towards the
front of the dart and others are back-weighted, try them all and you’ll develop
a feel for what works best for you.
There are many different darts to choose
from, wooden darts, brass darts, silver darts and tungsten darts, among them, tungsten dart is the most popular dart for dart league throwers because a high-density
tungsten dart can resist wear and creates a smaller barrel that allows tighter
groupings of darts. Brass and silver darts which are made from softer metal are
cheaper, but the knurling on them can wear down quickly from skin oils,
friction and contact from other darts. When buying tungsten darts, pay
attention to the packaging because the percentage of tungsten is very important
to the quality of the dart.
When it comes to choosing the right set of
dart, the weight and style, there isn't a wrong answer. The only thing to keep
in mind is not to buy several darts at the same weight and style, and spend a
lot of money on your first set of darts, you will change darts after your first
year of throwing, so don’t spend a lot until you know which dart fits you
perfectly. Ultimately, it all comes down to what makes you feel most
comfortable when you’re at the line.
Dart bounce out is the most frustrating of
all dart problems. There are four ways to stop dart bounce out. Firstly, choose
the lighter dart. Secondly, choose a dart with movable point. Thirdly, shoot
wisely. Actually, the best way to deal with bounce outs is to forget about
them.
For anyone who just starts out, or those
looking to upgrade to a new equipment, if you buy dart set separately, you can
choose the type, color, design your prefer, however, it cost money, it will
save money by purchasing as complete set dart.
Tungsten heavy alloy dart shafts not only have different colors and images,
but also come in many styles and materials including plastic dart shaft,
aluminum dart shaft, and carbon-fiber dart shaft, composite and spinning dart shafts.
The variances in tungsten dart barrel design such as length,
grip and thickness, these factors can change greatly in the same weight. So
many people try to find the chances to increase tungsten dart to suit by
changing the length, grip, thickness etc.
A variety of shaft styles are available,
which allows the flight to turn out of the way when struck by another dart.
Spinning dart shafts do not improve the flight of the dart through the air, but
allow tighter groups by letting the flights align with each other, so spinning
dart shafts greatly reduce torn flights, "robin-hooded" shafts, and
deflections.
