Accurate up to a half gram up to 30 grams, this dart weight scale will help you find the right weight for your skill level and talent. Steel tip darts are measured by weighing the point and barrel without the flight and shaft. Although darts are available in a wide range of weights, the majority of players play with darts weighing 18 - 23 grams when using brass and 23 - 26 grams when using tungsten darts. The legal weight limit of your major overseeing organizations is 50 grams. Soft tip darts are measured by weighing the entire dart including the barrel, flight and shaft. The weights being used to play soft tip darts are most commonly 16, 18 and 20 grams and are much lighter than their steel tip counterparts. Originally, soft tip darts needed to be light in weight because the electronic matrix in the vending machine was delicate and couldn't withstand the impact of a heavy dart. The technology has been greatly improved over the years and the dart weights have increased steadily from the original 12 grams to the current top weight of 20 grams.
