What to Look for in Beginner Darts
If you’re new to darts, choosing the right set can feel overwhelming. With so many weights, grips, and brands available, it’s hard to know where to start. The good news? We’ve put together this simple guide to help beginners find the perfect darts in 2025.
At Pinnacle Darts, we stock a huge range of darts from top brands like Target, Winmau, Red Dragon, Harrows, Unicorn and more with options to suit every new player.
What to Look for in Beginner Darts
1. Weight
Most beginners do well with darts in the 21–24g range. They’re heavy enough for control but not too tiring over a game.
2. Grip
Look for a dart with a consistent grip (not too smooth, not overly aggressive). This makes it easier to throw accurately.
3. Material
Tungsten darts are slim and durable – the higher the tungsten percentage, the slimmer the barrel. Beginners don’t need 95% tungsten straight away – 80–90% is a great balance.
4. Price
You don’t need to spend a fortune to start out. Great quality beginner darts are available for £30–£60.
