Darts Kit – Colors – 12 Darts + Sharpening Tools

Households, offices, bars, clubs - anywhere more than one person plays. Four players with three darts each means nobody shares and nobody waits, and a lost dart is not the end of the evening.

You are conditioning the point, not making it pointy. Roll the tip on the stone at a shallow angle, turning the dart as you go, until the burrs and flat spots from hitting wires are gone - ten or fifteen seconds is plenty. Leave it smooth and slightly rounded. A needle point is worse in every way: it skids off wires and bounces out, and it cuts sisal fibres instead of parting them, which puts permanent holes in the board.

We have not been able to verify a published figure, and kits in this category come at both 20 g and 24 g - which throw quite differently. Ask us and we will check the actual stock before you order.

Steel tip darts have a metal point and go into a sisal bristle board. Soft tip darts have a flexible plastic point and go into an electronic board. Never throw steel tips at an electronic board: the point punches through the plastic segments and can wreck the sensors underneath, and that is not repairable. Soft tips on a bristle board simply bounce out.

2BA is the standard dart thread - 4.7 mm major diameter - and virtually every modern barrel, shaft and point uses it. The older alternative is a 1/4 inch thread, noticeably fatter and coarser, found on some cheap brass and house darts. They are not interchangeable and forcing one into the other strips the thread. Flights are not threaded at all, so any standard-shape flight fits any standard-shape shaft.

The bullseye goes 1.73 m from the floor, and the throwing line sits 2.37 m horizontally from the face of the board - measured to the board face, not the wall, because a board with a surround stands proud of it. Cross-check with the diagonal: 2.93 m from the centre of the bull to the back of the oche. If the diagonal does not match, one of your other two measurements is wrong.

Rotate the number ring every few weeks so the 20, 19 and treble beds do not take all the wear. Keep the points conditioned but never needle-sharp. Do not soak the board or hang it in direct sun or driving rain - humidity swells sisal and sun dries it out, and both shorten its life. Pull darts out straight rather than levering them.
