QuestionsGood to know
Why does this page say the weight is being confirmed?
Because the Ghoul weights WIN.MAX publish are 16 g soft tip and 23 g steel tip, and we have not been able to verify a 21 g version. Rather than print a figure we cannot evidence, we are checking with the supplier. Message us and we will tell you what is actually in stock.
Is a Ghoul a tungsten dart?
No. WIN.MAX's original Ghoul was described as tungsten-look, which is a finish rather than an alloy. Anyone selling a Ghoul as a tungsten set is misdescribing it. If you want confirmed tungsten, ask us about the 90 percent barrels we stock.
What should I buy instead if I need a set today?
Tell us your preferred weight and whether your board is bristle or electronic, and we will point you at something whose specification we can state fully. That is a two-minute conversation.
Steel tip or soft tip - which do I need?
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.
What does the tungsten percentage mean?
It is the proportion of tungsten by weight in the barrel alloy - the rest is a binder such as nickel, because pure tungsten is too brittle to machine. Tungsten is more than twice as dense as brass, so a higher percentage means a physically slimmer barrel at the same weight. Slimmer barrels take up less room in a treble bed, which is what lets three darts group in one segment.
What is 2BA, and will these parts fit my darts?
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.
How should I sharpen a steel tip?
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.
