Dart barrel weight

There are a lot of people want to know that they which weight they should throw, which weight is the most common one, what is the average weight, etc. These questions there are no absolute correct answers. For the "average weight" issue, there may be an answer, but it does not make much sense.

Giving an example of two world champions:

Dennis Priestley throws 14 gram darts.

Raymond van Barneveld throws 26 gram darts.

For beginners, we recommend using the darts of the weight between 22 to 25 grams. This is a slightly heavy weight. The reason is that you need to train in the basic skills of throwing in the initial level on the heavy side. You may feel, throwing the lighter darts progress a little faster, but lighter darts can not force you to train a decent technique which to improve it will suffered many difficulties in the future.

Once you get a throwing experience and a decent technique. Then you may find that is not convincing because of the kind-hearted of heavy darts. If you think that you can throw the dart more flexible, then you should consider throwing lighter darts.

Soft tip darts players will not have much choice on the weight of darts. Because of the limit set by the machine operators and leagues, the weight of the soft tip dart is usually less than 20 grams. If you are a beginner of soft tip darts, the only advice we can give is to training from the maximum allowable weight.
