Tips for choosing the best darts

As a first time buyer of darts, you will have difficulties in choosing something. The offer available on the market is diverse and when you have no experience, the purchase becomes even more complicated. What you need to do is to allocate some research time before you actually invest your money in something. Luckily, there are a few tips and tricks that will help you reduce the offer available on the market and make the choice a bit easier, so check them out below.

1.Check out the weight. As a beginner, you should opt for the heaviest darts available. As you practice more and become more skilled, you will prefer the lighter weight darts. However, the first throws should be performed with heavy darts, as it is easier for a beginner to throw them. As your grip becomes more consistent, you will reduce the weight and opt for light weight darts.

2. Shape/ Grip. Each player has its own, personalized grip. The grip says a lot about how the darts should look like, so here are a few examples: if your grip is pencil style, then you should opt for cylindrical barrels while if your grip is very light, narrow barrel darts represent the better choice.

3. Flights/ stems. All beginners should opt for standard flights and medium stems; this is the best choice they can make.

4. Cost. A lot of people think that the best darts to buy are the most expensive ones. This is not necessarily true! A lot of very expensive darts are nothing else but a waste of money, so it is important to learn how to wisely make such a purchase. A lot of highly experimented, award winning players will opt for darts at the cheaper end of the price scale as the quality of the game stands in the grip, the throw, the weight of the dart and not in its cost.

These are, in wide lines, the guidelines that you should use when buying darts. However, if you ask an experienced player, you will be told that the best dart is the one that best suits you. This is why, before you actually spend money on something, you should first take it in your hand, feel it, check out the grip, maybe even perform a few throws and see whether or not you like the feel. If you don’t like the feel, then don’t even consider buying those darts. In the end, it all depends on how you feel and what it is that you want from those darts. Do you want to become a professional player or do you just want to practice this for fun? There is a huge difference between the two options and this will influence the choice of the darts as well. It is important to have a clear image in your mind of what it is that you want to do once you find the darts that are perfect for you. This will help you choose wisely!
