Darts Accessories

Flights + Flight Accessories

Flights come in various shapes, sizes, and thicknesses. The most well-known and commonly used shape is the 'standard 100-micron' flight. Flights are also available in thicknesses of 75, 125, 150, and 180 microns. The thicker flights are slightly sturdier and generally last longer, but the downside is that these flights are heavier than the standard 100-micron flights, which makes the total weight of the darts heavier.

In addition to the standard flight shape, there are also other shapes. For example, Phil Taylor uses extra small flights from Target, while Gary Anderson uses ‘big wing’ flights from Unicorn. Other commonly used shapes include pear, kite, and slim flights.

To protect the flights from damage, you can choose to use flight protectors. Flight protectors help reduce wear when one dart hits another. They are available in different shapes and are offered by brands such as Target and Ruthless.

Shafts

Shafts come in many types and sizes. The most commonly used shafts are nylon shafts. These relatively inexpensive shafts are available in four different sizes: x-short, short, inbetween, and medium. There are also shafts made of aluminum or titanium. These heavier shafts generally last longer than the nylon ones, but they are much more expensive.

To find out which shafts are best for you, we recommend trying all the sizes. This can be easily done with an aluminum shaft test kit or a nylon shaft test kit.

Points + Point Accessories

Dart points can wear down and become dull over time. You can easily sharpen these points with a sharpening stone. By regularly sharpening the points, you extend the lifespan of the dartboard because you smooth out any burrs, preventing the points from getting caught in the sisal.

In addition to sharpening, you can also choose to replace the points in your darts. Dart points come in various designs and lengths. Some points, for example, have grip for players who place their fingers on the tip during their throw.

Wallets

Wallets are ideal for storing and transporting your darts, flights, and shafts. Wallets come in many styles, from small ones that fit easily in your pocket to larger ones where you can store multiple sets of darts and accessories. Brands like Unicorn, Bull’s, Target, XQmax, and Dartshopper offer these wallets in various models.
