The theory is that heavier darts are easier to throw (less effort) but not as accurate (generality); lighter darts are easier to throw accurately and harder.

Read More »I was asked this question recently.What weight of darts do the Pros use and why do many use lighter darts?OK, I shall now make you sorry you asked, there will be a quiz at the end.I shall now open myself up for abuse and contrary opinions as that is not what works for you. That is fine, you have the right to be wrong!The theory is that heavier darts are easier to throw (less effort) but not as accurate (generality); lighter darts are easier to throw accurately and harder.I was surprised by the lightweight darts most players really use.I have started using 10 gm darts, and quite well, I also use 21 and 25gm darts and do switch from time to time. I also practice with a handful of different darts. I am comfortable with that, it gives some players conniptions to see me doing that, I have broken some golden rule.This is from https://www.dartbase.com/faqweight.htm If you can't figure out which set is suitable then probably none of the two sets is exactly right for you. The perfect situation would be you have one set of darts you feel completely comfortable with. As you play 28gr darts which is definitely on the very heavy side I'm thinking of you as a not-so experienced player. Usually experienced players don't throw heavier than 24gr. (e.g. Mike Gregory plays 24 and he is the *heaviest* amongst the pros as far as I know). There are some diffculties with the very heavy darts to get much better 'cause they don't react that sensible and throwers don't get enough *feedback* from the dart on how it *wants* to be thrown right. Heavy darts are okay for beginners and not so experienced players to develop a decent throwing technique, but once you upgrade to an average or expert player you might want a dart that reacts more sensible to your *work*. So when looking for something new, as I think this could be the right situation for you to do so and benefit from it, try something around 24 grams. I've talked to pro Rod Harrington some years ago, and he said he started with very heavy darts just like yours and when he tried lighter ones his game improved dramatically to the nearly perfect one he has now (the time we talked he was playing 18gr.).If you go to the darts database you can check the darts and weights used by many players: https://www.dartsdatabase.co.uk/AboutUs.aspx And stolen from a thread in the other forum:As at 15th Jan 2014:Stephen Bunting 12Ted Hankey 14Denis Preistley 15Bob Anderson 18Colin Lloyd 18Kevin Painter 19Mark Hylton 20Alan Tabern 20Andy Smith 20Colin Osbourne 20Denis Ovens 20James Wade 20Mark Webster 20Paul Nicholson 20Adrian Lewis 21Joe Cullen 21Mark Dudbridge 21Robbie Green 21Terry Jenkins 21Dennis Smith 21Dave Chisnall 22Co Stompe 22Gary Anderson 22Gary Robson 22Martin Adams 22Mervyn King 22Ronnie Baxter 22Simon Whitloc 22kSteve Beaton 22Steve Brown 22Tony Eccles 22Tony O'Shea 22Wes Newton 22Dean Winstanley 22Richie Burnett 23Andy Hamilton 23Wayne Jones 23James Wilson 23Jamie Caven 23Jelle Klaasen 23John Part 23Justin Pipe 23Richie George 23Scott Rand 23Vincent van der Voort 23Scott Waites 23Mark Walsh 24Martin Atkins 24Ross Montgomery 24Wesley Harms 24Brendan Dolan 24.5Darryl Fitton 25Michael van Gerwen 25Nigel Heydon 25Raymond van Barneveld 25Dave Prins 26Devon Peterson 26Magnu Caris 26Peter Wright 26Phil Taylor 26Robert Thornton 26
