“Dart Sets – Finding Quality You Can Afford.”
Dart sets are collections that your casual dart player will constantly add to. When you’re really into a sport or hobby, you have certain pieces of equipment. These pieces are ones you want to regularly add to your collection.
Do you know an avid baseball player with just one bat? Nope. How about a guitar player with just one guitar pick? No way. A runner with only one pair of running shoes? Didn’t think so. You get the picture. When we really like a hobby or sport, it occupies a lot of our head space. We like the new shiny object.
Most of us aren’t inherently wealthy. We need to have some buying criteria. This helps us make sound decisions and continue to grow our personal dart collections.
How Often Do Your Play?
Thinking about competitive darts or are you more of a casual dart player? Your answer to these questions will decide the type of dart set you’ll need. Casual players can expect to spend between $15 - $25 for a set of three darts. If you’re a serious hobby player, you should expect to spend $40 - $60. This price range gets you the best of the best, a set of tungsten barrel darts.
At the lower end of the spectrum, brass barrels will be your most economical dart. This is because brass is a very soft metal and will become distorted over time. Tungsten barrels are the costliest material because they are super dense. The denser a dart barrel is the slimmer design capabilities can be used. The slimmer designed barrels can be a real game changer when trying to aim in tight spaces on the dartboard.
Dart Sets - Are You Still Trying to Find Your Personal Throwing Technique?
If you’re still trying to find your most effective dart throwing style, consider exploring two popular dart types. This exploration can help refine your style.
• Rubber Grip – These darts have a soft rubber grip. It conforms to your fingers. This provides a comfortable sure grip. These darts are manufactured without metal, which makes them economical. They are a great set to add to your dart arsenal. Additionally, they are extremely lightweight and allow for a soft, finessed throw.
• Adjustable Weight Darts – This style of dart lets you experiment with different weights. It uses a unique “add a gram” system. The dart sets come with six 2-gram weights that screw directly into the darts barrel. If you’re a beginner, you’ll find that various weights will have a dramatic effect on your overall throwing technique.
Are You a Dart Player with Style?
Dart sets come in thousands of different designs and styles. One of the most popular ways to express your personal dart style is with multiple flights to choose from. As reviewed in an earlier article, dart flights are manufactured in two basic designs:
• Standard Flights – These are the most popular and widely used flights, particularly among beginners and casual players. They offer greater lift and stability, making them ideal for slower, more controlled throws. Watch professional dart players for a classic example of slow, controlled throws.
• Slim Flights – Slim flights are smaller. They produce less drag. This design allows for a faster and more direct flight path. These are preferred by players who throw with more force and want a tighter grouping of darts.
The experts at edartboards.com recommend experimenting with various dart flights by getting an assortment bag of flights. The assortments offer tons of different colors, materials, and designs for you to play with. Most assortment sets of dart flights come in cards of 40 sets…plenty of shapes, styles, and colors to choose from.
We hope this guide is a useful starting point. You can find the right dart set that matches your personal style. It also fits within your budget. The most important thing to remember is to have fun and enjoy your game. Faster play. Better game.
