The tip is the part that sticks into the dartboard. The barrel is the wider section the player grips. The shaft is the next section down, which determines the overall length and weight of the dart. Finally, the flight (also known as fletching) is the &#8220;wing&#8221; part that gives the dart stability. Professionals often buy these parts separately and design a custom dart for their specific needs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I&#8217;m just getting started with darts. Should I get professional-grade darts to start with?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our advice is to get the highest-quality dart that your budget will allow. For a beginner or casual player, there won&#8217;t be too much of a difference between a pro-grade dart and a cheap dart. Still, if you practice with quality darts from the beginning, you won&#8217;t develop bad habits in compensating for a poorly-balanced dart. Hence, the better the dart you can start with, the better your game will become.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How many different dart games are there?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There may well be over 100 different dart games to choose from. About 40 of these are still in popular rotation, while the most popular game of all is 501, followed by Cricket (also called American Cricket) and Shanghai. The game played in the PDC Championship is almost exactly like 501, except that the winning player must end with a double.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IgnatGames Steel Tip Darts We love the IgnatGames Steel Tip Darts 6-pack because it&#8217;s a perfect starter kit for two players.
