Dart shaft is the part that connects the dart body and the dart tail. There’re colorful darts shafts. With a variety of high-tech materials, the length is also very different. Traditional darts shafts are commonly made of aluminum, titanium, plastics, nylon or other light metals.

According to different materials, here introduces some common metal darts shafts.

 

 

The traditional aluminum, titanium and other metal darts are very colorful and beautiful, and they are more expensive than nylon darts. The darts shafts made of aluminum and titanium are heavier, which would sometimes result in poor flight stability or falling rear end. A metal dart shaft will not break as easily as the nylon and plastic dart shaft, so it’s generally believed that the service life of metal dart shaft is longer than that of nylon. However, the metal dart shaft is very difficult to recover when it fell to the ground and being bent. Because the tail slot of the metal dart shaft is sharper, it is easy to cause the tail fin to be damaged.

 

Now, the standard material for metal dart shaft is tungsten alloy. Tungsten alloy dart shaft is actually cylindrical tungsten alloy bar which are treated by surface grinding of centerless grinding. Its weight is different according to the size of the bar and the content of tungsten. 

 

Tungsten is a kind of material of high hardness. Tungsten alloy dart shaft made of tungsten nickel alloy, has high proportion, good aerodynamic effect, and high stability of throwing. tungsten alloy high hardness makes it difficult to be deformed and durable. In the same weight, tungsten dart shaft size (thickness) is much smaller than other texture of the dart shaft, which will increase the possibility of casting dart in the same high zone. Therefore, the vast majority of professional dart players are using tungsten alloy darts.
