Arrow Selection Guide
Arrows are a key part of the game that can greatly affect your score and the overall fun of the game. Choosing the right arrows can seem complex at first, but with our guide you'll find that it's actually quite simple. Let's take a look at the main aspects to consider.
Weight of darts: Weight is one of the most important factors when choosing darts. The weight of darts usually ranges from 16 to 26 grams. Beginners should start with heavier darts as they are more stable and easier to control. More advanced players may prefer lighter darts, which allow for more accurate throws.
Dart material:
- Brass: Brass darts are cheaper and great for beginners. However, brass is a softer material, which means the darts can easily become damaged.
- Nickel/Silver: These darts are harder and more durable than brass, but still reasonably priced. They are a good compromise between quality and price.
- Tungsten: Tungsten darts are the most popular among professional players. Due to the high density of the material, the darts can be made thinner, allowing players to throw the darts closer together without the risk of bouncing.
Grip arrows:
The grip on the dart is important for proper hold and release. There are different types of grip, from smooth to very scalloped, and the choice depends on personal preference. Some players prefer more grip for better control, while others prefer a smoother surface for easier dart release.
Length and shape of the bat:
The length and shape of the fly on a dart also play a role in its flight path and stability. A long baton can increase stability in the air, while shorter and flatter designs can improve speed and accuracy. Experiment with different styles to find what best suits your throwing style.
Dart selection is highly individual and can depend on many factors, including your throwing technique, power and personality.
