Soft tip dart accessories can include dozens of items and cost you thousands of dollars. Besides an electronic dart board, and a dart set, we consider the rest optional equipment, with one exception, a dart case.
The rest of this article will show some “nice to have” soft tip dart accessories. It will also include a brief section on dart cases.
Dart Board Throw Line
A dart throwing line is the way to mark the spot where the dart player stands to throw their darts. Traditionally, this is referred to as the “oche”. The regulation distance from the oche to the dartboard is eight feet in soft tip darts. To learn soft tip darts correctly, throw from the correct distance.
A dart board throw line can be a laser light or an adhesive tape style marker. The experts at edartboards.com prefer to recommend the laser dart line. When you use an adhesive tape marker, you will undoubtedly leave sticky tape residue on the carpet or floor. This happens when you remove the line as it deteriorates. The line needs to be replaced.
The laser dart line solves this problem. This accessory easily mounts underneath the dartboard and casts a laser to the exact spot of regulation stance.
Soft Tip Dart Accessories – Dartboard Mat
No matter how good you are, when you play soft tip darts, you will have bounce outs. Your darts will hit the floor. This causes damage to both your darts and your floor. For you to solve this problem, we recommend using a dartboard mat. This mat is padded and will absorb some nasty bounce outs which will extend the life of your tips. You will also save your floors from punctures, snags, and dings.
As a side note, a dartboard mat will also include graphics to mark your dart board throw line. The mats are made from non-slip materials to give you sure footing to support your throwing stance. A great bonus feature!
Dart Cases
Players invest in their dart collections. Their investments are made for either general style and design reasons or their dart set gives them specific performance value. Whatever the reason, it’s important to organize and protect your investment.
Dart cases come in different configurations, styles, and materials. All cases have organizational, and security features built in. They have various compartments, sleeves, and containers to hold several sets of darts, extra flights, barrels, shafts, and tips. The bottom line is that a good dart case will protect your personal dart set. It will also organize the set so you have them at game time. When playing the game of darts, it’s a fact that you will either wear out or accidentally break darts.
