Whats your chosen weight of a dart?

[Bigshow]

I saw a poll on facebook earlier that dartscorner had done so i thought i`d follow suit.

[Un_signed]

normally 23-25g it depends on length of barrel for me.

[Watikjebrom]

Used to play with 25 grams bit changed to 21 grams 8 months ago. Resulted in a more constant play and better control of the dart.

[Dave Dart]

Quite heavy 29g darts.

[Steve Metalman]

24 -26 grams is my preferred weight

24grams is a good universal weight if you do not know which one to go for

[mc1958]

I was going to make a monumental post for number 1000 but what the hell, I've had a couple of bevies so can't be bothered to think lol - my prefered weight is anywhere between 21 and 23 g.

Lets say it hasn't gone unnoticed :winkodf:

[F4tboy]

20g for me.

[Stran]

26g for me

[Hazza]

26g for me too

[Gary O Connor]

24G is perfect for me.

[frpax]

Most of my darts are 24g.
I have one set of 25g and one set of 26g (Black Widows, that I just gave to my son).
My daughter has a set of 22g, and it takes me a bit to get used to them.

[Neil]

I have hundreds of darts and the vast majority of them are 24g.

I started off when I was 17 with 31g darts, then went down to 25, then went down to 20 (for about 10 years) then went up to 24 and I have stuck with that weight ever since.

[Little Lady]

:gooddarts:No messing about for me, big heavy 40g's:smileb:

[scousemouse]

Super light for me!! 15g. Not easy to find, which makes choosing dead easy :)

[tanic180]

26g :smileodf:

[Pearce161]

i started with 27g harrows boxer because had a throw of my mates and they felt light. He said his were 25 gram but after a few months i went down to 25g targets, that i still use, as the boxers felt too heavy. Had another go with his darts a bit after an turns out they were more like 22 or 23 gram!! Irony is he now throws 24g boxers, which is what i woulda bought if he had known the actual weight of his darts in the first place!

[Giraffe]

22g or 23g for me
I voted for 23 cause its what I'm using at the moment

[Goofy]

Always played with 24 or 25 gram until just before christmas last year........ had a throw with my mates 21g Harrows Gyro and havent looked back since :) Think i'm gonna buy another set of them...... one for practice and one for matches :thumbsup:

[NEZ]

23 or 24 for me

[Spoonz]

Anything from 23 to 25 was using 24s then 25s customs where 24.5 and now using 24 again

[Mammoth]

Super light for me!! 15g. Not easy to find, which makes choosing dead easy :)Hallelujah brother

[scousemouse]

Hallelujah brother

I take it you throw light darts n all then Mammoth?

[Hazza]

You changing your darts as much as me these days

[The Hun]

23g for me (steel)

[JohnBW83]

It's 25g for me.

[nnj]

recently dropped to 16.5g. found it gave me more control when powering through

[matt]

I've played with hand me downs for years but I recently just bought my first "real" set and they're 22. Absolute love them.

Just curious, whats the lightest/heaviest you guys have seen people legitimately use?

The lightest i`ve seen being played with were 16g, they were very similar to Ted Hankeys darts. The heaviest were my grandads, i`m not sure of the weight but i`d take a stab at 15 stone lol. He played mainly on doubles boards which was lucky because his darts were literally to thick to fit three into the T20.

[Del]

22g merv kings at the mo , they seem to suit my grip well

[Jwest]

24g

[vahid8040]

16g but i got soft tip darts.

[Steve Metalman]

16g but i got soft tip darts.
Good point vahid
Theres no soft tip options!!
Do you know what the heaviest allowable soft tip dart is?

I think it might be 20 grams, but that's a guess

[vahid8040]

yeah 20g i saw on DARTS CORNER. We can check :

Local leagues have different regulations for the weights of soft tip darts. 16-18 gram darts are the most common and are accepted in most leagues.

so how the league makes it . good by us we got 14-18g

[ben996]

i have experimented with many different weights and at the moment use 28g, they seem good enough

[Jamo]

19g - 24g | throwing with 21g and have been for a while now so that's my preferred weight

[Hustler]

22g for me

[Nosssweat]

20g at the minute

[The Truth]

26 g for last few years although the last set I bought feel considerably heavier than my last set. Still unsure if coming down a gram or 2 might be a good bet.

[The Cobra]

1st set was 25g, 2nd was 26g. These were the ones I played with and started to get serious with. I have since moved on to 24g Harrows ICE. Seem to be the absolute ideal weight for me

[Giraffe]

23g for me now.

[Shed Inn]

[cdsmith15]

22g Paul Nicholson darts for me.

[tanic180]

26g jlowes golden hero and 26g golden phil taylor

[Hazza]

22g. Can't remember what I voted for before

[Steve Metalman]

Its a bit difficult I understand what you mean but here in the UK its always been the barrel weight, I've never known if that includes the point, but I presume it does.

Its just one of those things that has been the standard for as long as I can remember and I'm 50 now lol

Its only recently (relatively speaking) some dart manufacturers have introduced grip levels
Who knows what the future holds
With Counties like the States and Japan taking a more active interest in darts things may change

[Yogi Bear]

Thought I would vote in this to be nosey and see what others use :) 24g for me.Tried most from 22-27g but settled for middle of the road.

[katsu]

I voted 23g originally but just moved down to 21g :biggrinodf:

[steph]

I would have said 24/25g, but have now got 27g.
In comparison, I prefer the 27g - only talking about the weight now.
They have more momentum, kind of.
But they are really louder, on top of a slightly changed style, with more power, it´s quite a difference.
I do like that, the neighbours probably less so.

[Liam]

24g for me =]

[BanannaMan]

gone to 26g from 23g due to having a light throw.and kite flights as helped no end.:biggrinodf:

[katsu]

I'll start a new thread.

oh okay

[Hazza]

Good plan, would you like this one locked?

[Bulls i]

I started with 26 grams and brooded down to 25grams. I couldn't believe the difference a gram makes

[Jack]

Good plan, would you like this one locked?

Could you not just lock out the Manx Woman?

[katsu]

Could you not just lock out the Manx Woman?

i can take a hint, I'm off :dramaqueen: your loss

[Jack]

Your being paranoid,i could of meant any Manx Woman on here.

[katsu]

Your being paranoid,i could of meant any Manx Woman on here.

this is a trap isn't it to see if I'm still here................well I'm not :hide:

[Mr Y]

started with 24g's, recently tried 18g and much prefer them - or to put another way, I got better lol

[katsu]

really?? that's a big jump, I tried 19gs from 21g and the 19s were way too light for me could barely get them to the board

[Jock]

23g use darts my dad gave me when i was in my teens, I do have a set of 24g barney, 23g lewis and 24g whitlock but always go back to my old favorites, Although I do like my daughters 19g darts but I stick with old darts
