Dart Accessories everyone needs
The right dart accessories can help you get more from your game, whether it’s improving your performance, protecting your equipment or replacing worn parts. All players should have spare flights, shafts and points available and a good dart case is great for protecting your equipment between matches and practice sessions. Other dart accessories such as grip aids, flight punches, and point tools can also help you achieve a more consistent dart setup that lasts longer. Below we take a closer look at the must have dart accessories that every player should have and explain how each one can benefit your game.
Dart flights
Dart flights are one of the most important dart accessories, playing a key role in the stability and flight of your darts. The flights you choose can affect the way your darts travel through the air, and as such are a vital element in finding a setup that suits your throwing style and personal preference.
There is a wide selection of dart flight shapes and designs, with popular choices including No.2 (Standard), No.6, Pear, Kite and Slim. The various shapes provide slightly different flying characteristics so players can experiment and find what is most comfortable.
Besides traditional folded flights, players can also select integrated flight and shaft systems such as the Target K Flex. These combine the flight and shaft into one moulded piece, offering increased durability, better flight retention and a consistent shape throughout their life. Picking the right flights is a crucial part of putting together the perfect darts setup, whether you go for a traditional or integrated system, these dart accessories are essential.
Dart Shafts
One of the most important dart accessories is the dart shafts or dart stems. Shafts come in a variety of lengths, materials and designs and the shaft you choose can affect the balance, feel and flight of your darts. As with dart flights, there is no one-size-fits-all option as the best shaft will depend on your throwing style and personal preference. Whether you prefer traditional nylon shafts, carbon composite stems, aluminium builds or the newest integrated flight systems, picking the right shaft can help you build a set-up that feels comfortable and performs reliably.
Integrated flight and shaft systems are a modern spin on the darts shaft. They are made from one piece for flight and shaft to provide a more durable and consistent solution with less chance of breakage. They also eliminate the possibility of the flight becoming loose or falling out during play, making them a popular choice for players looking for a reliable, low maintenance setup.
Interchangeable points
One of the greatest innovations in modern dart accessories is the interchangeable dart point. These systems enable darts players to quickly and easily change the points on their darts, giving darts players a new level of control over their setup. If you like shorter points to reduce deflection or longer points for better board grip and stability, interchangeable dart points make it easy to reconfigure your darts to suit your throwing style. As dart accessories continue to evolve, players have more options than ever when building their perfect setup. Darts have been revolutionised by popular systems such as Swiss Point, Switch Point and Quick Point, which allow players to constantly change which points they are using. These dart accessories enable you to switch points in minutes without specialist tools or a full re-pointing service. If you’re looking to improve your darts setup, then one of the most useful dart accessories on the market is the interchangeable dart points. This allows you to experiment with different point lengths, grip styles and setups until you find the right fit for your game.
Darts cases
Here at Double Top Dart Shop, we have a huge stock of dart cases from the top brands in the sport. Dart cases are one of the most useful dart accessories available and are often overlooked, but they help players protect their equipment and stay organised when travelling or playing. A good quality dart case protects your darts and also leaves space for essential dart accessories like spare flights, stems and points. This means you can quickly replace broken equipment and continue playing without interruption. There are dart cases for every dart player, from small options for a few dart accessories to larger cases like the Target Takoma Home Case that can hold multiple sets of darts and a broad selection of dart accessories. A dart case is one of the best dart accessories you can own if you’re looking to improve the way you store and transport your gear.
Mats and surrounds
Dart mats and surrounds are two of the most useful dart accessories you can add to your dart setup. Dart mats help players maintain the correct throwing distance while also protecting both their darts and flooring from damage. This is especially useful when playing on hard surfaces, where dropped darts can damage or break their points.
Dartboard surrounds are another essential dart accessory, helping to protect your walls from stray darts that miss the board. They can also boost a player's confidence, as there is added protection around the dartboard if a throw does go off target. As well as being practical dart accessories, surrounds are quick and easy to install and can be removed just as easily when needed.
Whether you're creating a home setup or upgrading your current one, dart mats and surrounds are dart accessories that provide both protection and peace of mind while you play.
