Brass Darts

Brass darts are the most affordable steel tip option on the market. They account for a large chunk of what gets thrown in pubs, social clubs, and youth setups across the UK. If the priority is a dart that does the job at a price that does not sting when one goes missing or gets bent, brass is the straightforward answer.

The sets in this collection run from just under £10 to around £15, covering entry-level options for first-time buyers and slightly better-finished sets for players who want a decent grip pattern without committing to tungsten.

Who Brass Darts Actually Work For

Brass suits three situations: buying for a pub or club where sets go missing, starting out before committing to the game, or kitting out multiple players on a budget. It is not suited for serious regular practice. Wider barrels make tight groupings harder and grip patterns wear faster than tungsten. If you are throwing more than twice a week, the steel tip darts collection has tungsten options from around £30 worth considering. The tungsten vs brass guide explains the difference.

What to Look for in a Brass Set

Most players find going a gram or two heavier than their usual tungsten weight gives a more controlled throw, as wider barrels shift how the dart sits in the fingers. Grip pattern matters too. Smooth brass gets slippery once warm, and a ringed or knurled barrel makes a noticeable difference in control. The brass darts weight guide covers weight selection in more detail. Harrows, Unicorn, and Rob Cross all have sets in this range. Filter by weight below and visit the accessories collection for stems, flights, and cases.

Frequently asked questions
Are brass darts good enough for beginners?

Brass darts are a practical starting point for anyone not yet ready to invest in tungsten. They throw fine on a standard bristle board and the price keeps the commitment low while you work out whether darts is your game. The main limitation is barrel width, which makes tight groupings harder than tungsten at equivalent weights.
How long do brass darts last?

The barrels hold up well to regular use, but the grip pattern softens faster than tungsten. On a brass dart with ringed grip, expect the texture to feel noticeably smoother after six months of regular play. For occasional or social use, a brass set can last years without issue.
Can I use brass darts in competitions?

There is no rule against it. Competitive darts only requires a steel tip and a dart within the permitted weight limit. Most players at league level and above throw tungsten by choice because the narrower barrel makes grouping easier, but brass does not disqualify you from competing.
