What are Dart Points?
Dart points, also called dart tips, are the sharp tips or ends of a dart that make contact with the dartboard. Steel tip darts use a metallic point and comes in a variety of styles and lengths, whilst soft tip darts use a plastic tip that suit electronic dartboards.
Different types of Dart Points
Target Darts offers four varieties of dart points to suit both the player and dart.
- Standard Points - The traditional dart point that is embedded into the dart barrel.
- Swiss Points - The Target Darts patented dart technology that allows the player to easily exchange dart points with a simple tool. With a threaded point, this allows the player to change colour, length, and style of point in seconds.
- Soft Tip Points - Specialised points dedicated to using darts on an electronic dartboard.
- Conversion Points - Points used to convert soft tip darts to steel tip darts, so players can use the same darts no matter the dartboard used.
Does the Dart Point make a Difference?
Short answer, yes.
Target Darts offers a variety of styles to suit each player. There are the traditional smooth points in various colours and lengths, however, you can now find dart points that offer better dartboard grip and those that offer finger grip.
