# What Is the Difference Between Soft and Steel Darts?
Choosing the right darts is crucial for performance, whether you're a casual player or a professional. The two main types—soft-tip and steel-tip darts—serve different purposes. Understanding their differences ensures you pick the best option for your game.
1. Material & Tip Construction
Soft-Tip Darts
- Feature plastic or nylon tips designed for electronic dartboards.
- Lighter in weight (typically 14–20 grams).
- Safer for casual play, reducing bounce-outs on soft boards.
Steel-Tip Darts
- Made with solid metal tips for traditional bristle (sisal) boards.
- Heavier (usually 18–26 grams), offering better stability in flight.
- Require a durable board to withstand repeated impacts.
2. Board Compatibility
Soft-Tip Darts
- Only work with electronic dartboards, which have small holes to catch the plastic tips.
- Common in bars and competitive soft-tip leagues.
Steel-Tip Darts
- Designed for bristle dartboards, which self-heal to maintain longevity.
- Preferred in professional tournaments and steel-tip leagues.
3. Gameplay & Performance
Soft-Tip Darts
- Lighter weight allows for faster throws but may require adjustment for precision.
- Electronic scoring automates tallying, ideal for social play.
Steel-Tip Darts
- Heavier construction improves control, favored by experienced players.
- Manual scoring is standard, enhancing focus and skill development.
4. Cost & Maintenance
- Soft-tip darts require frequent tip replacements due to wear.
- Steel-tip darts last longer but demand a high-quality bristle board.
Which Should You Choose?
- Soft-tip: Best for casual play, electronic boards, and beginners.
- Steel-tip: Ideal for competitive players and traditional setups.
Understanding these differences ensures you select the right darts for your needs. Whether you prioritize convenience or precision, both types have unique advantages.
