“Dart Sets - How to Choose the Right Set for You?”
Dart sets are tricky to select if you’re a new player. Selecting a dart set should also be fun and simple. Many new dart players often over-complicate this process. Nevertheless, there are a few features of the dart’s design that will help you make a smart choice. Every darter should be in tune with the next dart features: dart grips, tips, weight, and flights.
Dart Sets and Grip Choice
Grips on soft tip dart barrels are made from two basic materials: metal alloy and rubber. The basic grip styles of most dart sets are knurled, diamond, shark fin, and rubberized. These different textures give both aesthetic and performance functions to the grip. Remember, the most important feature is how the grip feels to you.
A darts knurled grip is rough to the touch. As the name implies, the impressions on the metal alloy will produce a “knurled” textured feel. The knurled design is actually small projected knobs of varying shapes and patterns.
The diamond texture can be either rough or smooth. This depends on how much each knob protrudes in the pattern. The shark fin will produce a distinct ringed feel. It feels like lining up a bunch of shark fins. Then, you run your hand across the top.
Rubberized grips offer two options. They can be soft and conformable to your fingers. Alternatively, they are designed with a textured surface to enhance the grip. Many players prefer the soft conformable style because it provides the most versatility when actually throwing your dart. As you throw a variety of dart grip styles, you’ll find which feels best for you.
Dart Sets and Tip Choice
Dart Tips - Soft dart tips can become loose due to repeated impact. This looseness will cause your throws to become inaccurate. It will also affect your score. The Tufflex dart tips feature a special locking hole. This design lets you firmly secure them to the barrel. Starter dart sets typically come with flimsy tips that can bend or break after a few throws. Dart replacement tips are essential to your game. The 2BA dart tips are engineered with a reinforced inner core so your tips last longer and give more accuracy.
Dart Sets and Weight Choice
Soft Tip Dart Weight – The most popular weight of a soft tip dart ranges from 18 to 20 grams. Viper Bobcat darts have an adjustable weight design. It is called an add-a-gram system. This lets you adjust your dart’s weight between 16 and 18 grams. This is a perfect way for you to dial in the best weight possible to match your throwing style.
Dart Sets and Flight Choice
Flights for darts are a major factor of your overall throwing performance. The dart flights shape, size and texture can affect your accuracy. The Dimplex dart flights are designed to deliver a strong aerodynamic surface to give greater control and enhanced throwing accuracy.
Taking your time to consider the dart sets with their unique features and design will pay off. Not all darts are alike and not all players are either. Viper darts are a top brand. They offer the style, design, and performance that best fits your level of playing. They also match your personal taste. After all is said and done, the best dart is the one that feels and performs the best for you.
