Darts Points

About

What Are Dart Points? Dart points, also known as dart tips, are the part of the dart that sits in the dartboard after you have thrown it. Points for darts come in two different materials: steel for steel tip darts or plastic for soft tip darts. There are various reasons why a player may decide to change the points in their darts, with the main one being to help with the overall aerodynamics of the dart and how it travels through the air. For example, a dart with a shorter point will tend to promote a straighter trajectory from when the dart leaves your hand to entering the dartboard. Types of Dart Points Players of all levels can experiment with using different types of dart points to find the best fit for their own style. There are several key factors worth considering when choosing the best dart points for your darts. The most important factor will be the type of dartboard you are using. Use steel tip points if you are throwing at a steel tip dartboard, and soft tip points if you are using an electronic board. Another factor to consider is your throwing style, so if you touch the point when you hold/throw the dart you may find using a point which has added grooves and/or extra grip will be helpful for your game. The last factor to decide is the length of dart points you use, with Darts Corner’s extensive collection of points ranging from 22mm to 52mm to cater for the personal preferences of all players. The 2024/25 and 2025/26 PDC world champion Luke Littler is an example of a player who uses long points in their darts. ‘The Nuke’ opts for 45mm dart points to help maximize his scoring power, as his theory suggests that using longer points means when the dart sits in the board there will be more room to group his darts together and hit more 180s. The reason for this is that the barrel part of the dart will be further away from the surface of the board because the points are longer. How To Pick The Best Dart Point For You?
