18g Soft Tip Darts

Why are they so popular?

A set of 18 gram soft tip darts is a popular choice for many players and is well-stocked at Darts Corner with more than 400 different options to choose from. An 18g dart in soft tip is our recommended weight for beginners, with many of our ‘Top 10 Soft Tip Darts’ available in this particular weight too.

Soft tip darts tend to weigh less than steel tip darts because you are throwing with plastic tips and at a dartboard made of plastic materials. Our soft tip collection starts from 14g and the heaviest soft tip darts we stock are 24g, with 18g considered a wise choice being around the middle of this range.

How to use Soft Tip Darts

Soft tip darts are typically used on a soft tip dartboard and are a safer and more family friendly option for a fun game of darts. Soft tip darts 18g or in other weights will have a flexible plastic tip that you throw at a soft tip board, which is made of robust plastic materials with pre-moulded holes.

You can also use soft tip darts on a regular dart board made of Sisal. The soft tip points will also cause less damage to the board than a steel tip dart, which has a sharp point made of steel. Darts Corner stocks a range of suitable dartboards for you to use with your new set of 18g soft tip darts.
