Tungsten Darts
Tungsten is an extremely robust and rare metal element. After its discovery, scientists quickly concluded that tungsten had the highest melting and boiling point in the periodic table. Darts using tungsten are heavier than normal darts and far more resilient to impacts and scratches.
What are the Advantages of Using Tungsten Darts?
Aside from being more durable, tungsten darts are also far more effective at penetrating targets. Because of the high density of this element, tungsten shafts and heads have higher kinetic energy by the time they reach the dart board.
Do Tungsten Darts Change the Game?
Replacing conventional darts with tungsten darts has several interesting impacts on the game. Because of the higher density of tungsten, these darts, if thrown with the same force as a regular dart, will not have the same penetration in the dart board and may be askew from your aiming point. Therefore, tungsten darts challenge veteran darts players to refine or adapt their throwing technique and playing style. In a bar game, tungsten darts can also be a useful handicap for long-running winners.
