I got a dartboard for Christmas for the children and this was our third set that we purchased out of the three sets these were definitely the best and would buy again the scoring did improve
Really good for price. We brought a dart board from sports direct for 20 and the darts were shocking wouldn’t even stay in the board. Got these darts and they are fantastic. Very glad we brought these and we use them loads!
These darts come in a compact faux leather wallet and have a gentle grip for beginners. Also perfect to keep as a spare for the pub, where your darts might get more easily damaged. Managed to get these for just over 13 which is a steal!
I wanted to learn how to play darts but found myself overwhelmed by the range of darts on offer, so opted to purchase a range of darts to give me an idea of what worked. These were easily the best, outperforming some brass barreled cheapo darts and some more expensive tungsten ones.
They were the lightest darts I tried, making them easy to get used to early on, easy to control and aim etc. These darts were also (dart for dart) the cheapest at about 1 a dart and having the two sets meant fewer trips to the board and back when practising. The barrel is also surprisingly good for the price, easy to grip and release well compared to the brass ones. They also have a good weight distribution across the dart.
Now, yes, as others have said, they break easily. Here’s the thing though; pretty much ALL DARTS BREAK. All of the sets I initially puchased have had at least one shaft break (including the more expensive ones) and though more of these have broken than the others, for they have faired best. Indeed, at this price, the solution is pretty simple; buy more.
The (genuine) downside comes with the flights which are not the best (though, if taken care of, are not bad) and ultimately mean that there is a quality level that just can’t be broken using these darts (at least not without upgrading the flights). They may also be too light for some players, although I’ve found both as a new player and as someone teaching other new players, that lighter is better to begin with. Equally, when you’re starting out you’re not sure what kind of darts work best for you, investing a lot of money in some darts to find you don’t like them is not the way to go. These are so cheap that even if you’re not a fan you can still use the component parts as spares & the handy checkout card and still consider it a fair deal
tldr:
Great cheap darts for beginners.
Yes they’ll break – they’re cheap, buy more.
Once you’re better, buy better darts, but hard to go wrong with these when starting out.
