Darts Points

Dart points can play a crucial role in a game of darts as the point is the part of the dart that enters the dartboard and keeps the dart stuck in. Choose from a wide range of darts points to customise your favourite set of steel tip or soft tip darts, including options in different lengths, colours, designs and grips, all to suit your style and needs. Darts Corner’s high quality dart points collection features points for darts and darts tips from leading brands such as Caliburn, Mission, Unicorn and One80!

What Are Dart Points?

Dart points, also known as dart tips, are the part of the dart that sits in the dartboard after you have thrown it. Points for darts come in two different materials: steel for steel tip darts or plastic for soft tip darts.

There are various reasons why a player may decide to change the points in their darts, with the main one being to help with the overall aerodynamics of the dart and how it travels through the air. For example, a dart with a shorter point will tend to promote a straighter trajectory from when the dart leaves your hand to entering the dartboard.

Types of Dart Points

Players of all levels can experiment with using different types of dart points to find the best fit for their own style. There are several key factors worth considering when choosing the best dart points for your darts. The most important factor will be the type of dartboard you are using. Use steel tip points if you are throwing at a steel tip dartboard, and soft tip points if you are using an electronic board.

Another factor to consider is your throwing style, so if you touch the point when you hold/throw the dart you may find using a point which has added grooves and/or extra grip will be helpful for your game. The last factor to decide is the length of dart points you use, with Darts Corner’s extensive collection of points ranging from 22mm to 52mm to cater for the personal preferences of all players.

The 2024/25 and 2025/26 PDC world champion Luke Littler is an example of a player who uses long points in their darts. ‘The Nuke’ opts for 45mm dart points to help maximise his scoring power, as his theory suggests that using longer points means when the dart sits in the board there will be more room to group his darts together and hit more 180s. The reason for this is that the barrel part of the dart will be further away from the surface of the board because the points are longer.

How To Pick The Best Dart Point For You?

Whether you are a complete newcomer to darts or a seasoned professional who has been playing for years, there are similar tips to follow when picking the right dart points to use. The durability of the dart points you use is an important thing to consider, with steel tip points the preferred choice for many players as these are made of a durable metal material, meaning they can withstand lots of wear and tear. Soft tip points are made of plastic and will need to be replaced more often, which is why these types of points will come in large quantities in bags of 30, 50, 100 or even 1,000!

Dart points now come in different styles too, so players can choose to have a completely smooth point or opt for dart points with grip on them. Using points with grooves can have several benefits such as helping the dart grip into the board better, as well as for players who like to touch the point when they hold the dart it will give them more grip when they throw.
