Brass and Tungsten Sets
Brass darts sit under £15 and work well for casual play, pub setups, and first-time buyers. Steel tip tungsten darts run from around £30 for 80% tungsten up through 90% professional-grade barrels. Tungsten is denser, meaning narrower barrels at the same weight and more room around the treble 20 when darts group tightly. For anyone throwing more than a couple of times a week, that difference matters. The tungsten vs brass guide explains the material properly if you are weighing it up. The Target Darts collection and Unicorn Darts collection have brand-specific ranges, with Harrows, Red Dragon, Mission, Shot, Winmau, and One80 all appearing throughout the main collection.
Building Out Your Setup
Most PDC Tour professionals have a signature barrel in production, many available here to the same specifications thrown in competition. The special edition darts collection covers limited runs and player signatures, and the professional darts guide covers who throws what and why. A dart is only as reliable as the stem and flight behind it, so browse dart flights to complete or adjust your setup. Cases, scoreboards, and other accessories are also in stock. For specific picks at each price point before browsing, the beginner's guide is a good starting point.
Frequently asked questions
What darts should I buy as a complete beginner?
Start between 22g and 24g. For material, brass works at under £15 but 80% tungsten gives you a noticeably slimmer barrel that makes learning proper grouping easier from the start. The beginner's guide has specific product recommendations at different price points.
What is the difference between steel tip and soft tip darts?
Steel tip darts have a fixed metal point for use with bristle dartboards. Soft tip darts have a plastic tip for electronic boards with scored holes in the surface. Most competitive and pub darts uses steel tip. Bristle boards are made from compressed sisal fibre; electronic boards are plastic with small holes. Check the surface and you will know which you need.
Do the signature darts sold here match what professionals actually use?
Yes. Signature darts from Target, Unicorn, and Winmau are produced to the same specifications as what the professionals throw on the PDC Tour. Sets from Luke Littler, Phil Taylor, Gary Anderson, and others in this range are exact replicas of their competition barrels. The professional darts guide covers who uses what and why those choices are made.
