By Tanisha Berg

When playing darts the weight and style of the barbs is very vital, comfort ability varies from one individual to the other with the shafts. The board upon which the projectiles are thrown should be hanged according to certain specification, these requirement do not the hand of an expert to ensure that it is hanged correctly otherwise it will be useless to play the game. Having the right knowledge of the weight and style of barb that works well for a particular individual is very essential before going to the Dart store to make a purchase.

The material used to make these barbs is of a wide variety ranging from wood, brass, nickel, silver and tungsten. Professional players use the tungsten projectiles since they resist ware out and minimize bounce outs; the material maintains the weight of the barb. The percentage of tungsten in the barrels of the shafts is very important, the higher the better.

The resistance to ware out is lowered when using the other materials, nevertheless they make an economical options which although have their own shortcomings they function very well. Oiling and cleaning the barbs regularly maintains the nips from wearing out from the friction and contact with other barbs.

Trying out all different types of barbs available is very important; this is because they come in weights that range from 12 to 50 grams. Understanding the weight that works well with an individual can help very much when purchasing the barbs to play at home or in a restaurant.

For a successful play the grip of the barrel should right, too rough or too smooth makes the play faulty. When the grip is too smooth the barb slips out thus affecting the aim and if the grip is too rough it makes it hard to let and also affecting the accuracy. Another significant consideration would be the flight of the projectile, they can either be dimpled or just smooth but either way they affect the accuracy of an individual greatly. For the game to progress without a hitch the flight should be right since it controls the stability of the barb.

The barbs have styled shafts which are made of different materials among them, plastic, aluminum, carbon fiber and the spinning shaft. The shafts made of plastic are known to break easily once they hit the board while the composite ones make some remarkable barbs but cost quite some money, their vibration is not severe is that of aluminum.

On top of the ranking will be the carbon fiber shafts, this is because of the fact that they are more durable than the rest and also strong enough. The weight is the least and they do not loosen up fast thus they maintain the aim.

In order to avoid bounce outs the spinning shafts allows the barrels to turn the other way when hit by other barbs; this however has no effect on the flight of the barb. The weight of the aluminum barbs is considered to be too much and also they tend to loosen up fast.
