Steel Tip Darts Explained

!±8± Steel Tip Darts Explained

Steel tip darts are the originals, the darts that everyone used up until the 1990's when soft tip darts came on the scene in a big way. Steel tip darts are also the choice of all the big money tournaments, like the Las Vegas Classic and the British Lakeside competition. There is some animosity toward the soft tip darters from the traditionalist darters who believe that the only true darts game uses steel tip darts and Sisal dart boards.

As the name suggests the tips of steel tip darts are steel with a sharpened point so they can stick into sisal or paper or even a wooden dart board. The steel tip has had some innovations over the years, like the Bottelsen No Bounce out darts that had the trademark Hammerhead system in the grip whereby the tip can retract slightly into the body of the dart absorbing the sharp impact if a dart hit the wire or staple on the dartboard allowing the forward momentum to push the dart past the obstacle and stick into the board.

Black widow darts had a similar system called a movable point that also had the added advantage of allowing the body of the dart to swivel around the tip achieving the same effect as spinning shafts i.e. if a dart hits the flight of a "widow" dart that is in the dart board, the barrel can rotate so moving the flight and that reduces the deflection of the dart coming into the board.

The other big advance is the material used in the manufacture of darts these days. Tungsten has all but taken over as the material of choice for the body of the dart, with its superior density to traditional brass, the same weight of dart can be made much thinner, increasing the chances of getting three in a bed and that 180 score.

The tips are obviously different for the two types of dart, but the other parts like the shaft, flights etc are the same. The weight of the darts is the other difference. Steel tip darts can go up to 50 gm, but are normally in the 18 - 28 gm range, but soft tip darts only go to 20 gm to protect the delicate electronics.

As for maintenance of your steel tips, be sure to keep the point sharp, either by rubbing the tip on some grinding paper or using the shaped carborundum stone you can get specifically to keep steel tips sharp. If you are really flash, you can get battery-operated sharpeners that can do it for you, guaranteeing the correct angle to your point as well.

Dart Supplies

!±8± Dart Supplies

When it comes to dart supplies, there is plenty to choose from. Apart from the obvious items like spare flights and shafts there are lots of other things you can have as well. One of the must haves is a darts case to put all those spare items in. Get a hard case preferably, as it keeps the shape of your flights whilst stored away so you don't have to spend time forming the shape of the flight. Some of the soft cases have a hard insert to achieve the same effect.

One of the cool things to have if you are a steel tip darter is the battery operated tip sharpener., which grinds your tip for you at just the right angle in just seconds. Sure beats the traditional method of rubbing the tip on grinding paper.

The add a gram is an interesting idea. It consists of 6 brass screw in units that are screwed into the shaft hole of the dart barrel so increasing the weight of the dart by a gram, hence the name. (The shaft then screws into the brass weight) Then try the extra weight to see if your game gets any better. The add a grams are often part of a dart tuning kit that not only includes the add a grams but extra flights of varying shapes and shafts. You can then try out various combinations of weight, flights and shafts to improve your accuracy. Worth a try I suppose.

If you are a soft tip darter you are going to need replacement tips for when those tips get bent or broken. Halex have come out with notched soft tips to help stop the darts falling out of the board, never tried them myself, but they might be worth a go or just settle for the standard straight soft tip replacements.

One item every darter must have is the dart tool. The tool is handy for soft and steel tip darters. It not only helps you replace soft tips, but you can use it to straighten metal shafts and prize apart the metal tangs that hold your flight to make the flights fit better.

You must also have a set of flight protectors as not only do they protect the flight from being hit by a dart, they maintain the right shape of the flight when installed. These are a must have item for all darters.

Another way to protect your flights is to use the "spinner" shafts. These shafts rotate out of the way if the flight is hit by another dart whilst it is in the board, protecting the flight and minimising the deflection of the incoming dart.

Soft tip darts can have screw in steel tips to change them into steel tipped darts so you can use them on bristle boards. You can even have a screw in hammerhead type steel tip if the screw thread on you barrel is deep enough. These retractable steel tips can retract slightly into the barrel so that if your tip hits a wire on the board the tip can retract slightly absorbing the impact whilst allowing the forward momentum of the dart to force the dart into the board. They greatly reduce the number of bounce outs you get with a standard tip.

We have covered only a small selection of the dart supplies available, there are lots more,. so if you are stuck for a gift for your darting friend there is plenty to choose from.
