Beginner’s Must-Read: How to Choose Your First Set of Darts
Keywords: throwing darts for beginners, how to choose darts, best beginner darts
For those just getting into darts, choosing the right set of beginner darts is especially important. Darts isn't just a competitive sport—it’s also a great way to relax and have fun with friends. Today, we’ll walk you through how to choose a set of darts that’s perfect for beginners.
1. Consider the Tip Type: Steel Tip vs. Soft Tip
If you’re playing on an electronic or soft dartboard, soft tip darts are safer and ideal for casual play. Steel tip darts are used with bristle boards and offer higher accuracy—great for traditional setups.
2. Think About Weight: 18g–24g Is the Sweet Spot for Beginners
Heavier darts are more stable in the air, but can be harder to control. We recommend starting with darts around 20 grams, which work well for most beginners.
3. Feel Matters Most
Hold the dart and give it a few practice throws. The one that feels most comfortable and natural in your hand is often the best choice—comfort leads to better control and more enjoyment.
Start with the basics, and soon you’ll be hitting the bullseye with confidence. Ready to find your perfect first set? Explore our beginner dart collections today!
