Scalloped Darts

Discover Precision Grip with Scalloped Darts

Scalloped darts are specially designed with a recessed grip section along the barrel, providing a natural finger reference point for enhanced consistency and control. Ideal for players who prefer a tactile grip location, scalloped darts help promote a repeatable release and a more accurate throw.

Darts with Rear Scallop Grip

Many players prefer darts with a rear scallop, as the recessed grip provides a clear reference point for those who hold towards the back of the barrel. The scallop encourages consistent finger placement and can help improve confidence at release.

Popular examples include Simon Whitlock Darts, Harrows V Wing Darts and Red Dragon Lethal Magic Darts, all of which feature a distinctive rear scallop designed specifically for rear grippers.

Front, Middle and Rear Grip Scallops Explained

Front grip scallops are best suited to players who hold the dart close to the nose of the barrel. Middle grip barrels are ideal for players who naturally grip the dart around the centre of the barrel. Rear grip scallops are designed for players who hold near the back of the dart and are commonly found on Simon Whitlock's signature darts.

The easiest way to choose the right scalloped dart is to select a barrel where the scallop naturally lines up with your preferred finger position.

Rear Scalloped Darts for Rear Grip Players

Rear grippers and darts with the scallop positioned towards the back of the barrel are the most popular combination in this category. They encourage the dart to enter the board slightly nose down with the tail standing higher, making it easier to stack subsequent darts underneath.

This style of setup is used effectively by players such as Connor Scutt, and watching his throw is a great way to understand how a rear scalloped barrel works in practice.
