If the ‘Luke Littler effect’ has inspired you to set up your own dartboard and try your hand at a new sport this spring, you’ll need the right dart accessories to complete your setup. From beginners essentials to performance-improving accessories for long-time fans of the game, we’ve got you covered with our top picks from our range so, let’s take a look.
Cases
Just as you might store your dartboard in a cabinet to protect it when not in use, you should also store your darts, flights, shafts and other accessories in a darts case to keep them safe between games.
By keeping all of your essentials in one place, these handy storage cases keep your equipment safe and also make it easy to transport them to your next match. They protect your darts from any impact whilst travelling around, as the tips can become damaged and the fights can become crushed without the right protective case, and also hold them in place with compartments or elastic straps to prevent movement.
Whether you need a hard-shell case to hold a full set or a travel-friendly case that will fit in your pocket, a reliable case with lots of storage room should be at the top of your dart accessories list when stocking up for 2025, and we offer plenty in our dart accessories collection.
Points
Now it’s time to load up your new case with all the darts accessories you need to sharpen your skills, including new or replacement points for your darts.
‘What’s the point?’ you may be asking yourself, to which we reply that sharp, dependable points are arguably the most important part of a dart. The point acting as a counterbalance for the barrel of the dart and its length, sharpness, and weight greatly influences the angle of a dart as it hits the dartboard, so have a play around with the different lengths and types available in our range to find the right one for you.
You will also notice that, over time, the points of your darts will become worn down and will start bouncing out or falling off the board. When this happens, you can either buy replacement darts, or invest in a handy sharpener to give them a new point on the go and keep using the points that work so well for you.
Springs and rings
Next up is springs and rings, the optional accessories that will keep your shaft securely attached to the stem.
- Rings: Rings fit onto the shaft before the flight is attached to provide a tight fit and prevent the shaft from slipping off mid game.
- Springs: Springs will keep your shaft securely attached to the stem. They are often used on spring-loaded shafts to improve the stability of the dart and also to absorb the impact when the dart hits the board.
The right choice for you will depend upon the types of darts that you prefer to use, and any issues that you are having with flights coming loose, so shop our full range today or pick up a tune up kit for everything you need.
Flights and flight accessories
From standard flights and slim flights, to kite, pear, and moulded options, different flight shapes can all impact your throwing style and overall performance. The shape of the flight influences the trajectory of your dart, which in turn influences where on the board it lands, and even the slightest detail can make a huge difference.
If your current flights don’t seem to be working for you any more, or you’re interested in switching things up and seeing the difference it makes for your game, take a look at how the different options will affect your throwing style, and don’t forget to stock up on all the flight punchers, holders and protectors you’ll need to make the most of your new flights.
