Steel tip darts have a steel point and are thrown at a sisal dartboard. The point is press-fitted or, increasingly, interchangeable with a screw system. Most darts weigh between 20 and 30 grams. They are used in leagues and the PDC and give you a lot of control and an authentic darting feel.
Types of darts
The most common is the straight barrel. There are also torpedo shapes, thicker in the middle, and differences in weight distribution: front-loaded and rear-loaded.
