Legend Darts · Buying Guide
Weight, grip, shape and tip: a plain guide to finding the dart that suits your throw.
Most steel-tip players throw between 21g and 26g. Heavier darts fly flatter and forgive a softer throw. Lighter darts need a quicker, more committed release. If you’re starting out or switching, 22g to 24g is the sensible middle. If your darts drift low on the board, try a touch more weight before you change your throw.
■ Legend barrels are weight matched to ±0.05g
Grip is about how cleanly the dart leaves your hand. Ringed cuts give reliable purchase without bite. Knurling grips harder, which helps with dry fingers but punishes you if you hang on too long. Micro cuts sit in between. Shark fins bite hard, for players with a light hold. Smooth barrels suit players who grip firmly and release fast. More grip isn’t always an improvement, so pick the lightest cut that stops the dart slipping.
Straight barrels spread the weight evenly and suit a grip anywhere along the dart. Torpedo and bullet shapes push the mass forward. They feel front-heavy and reward a front grip. Tapered barrels shift balance back for players who hold nearer the flight. Match the shape to where your fingers naturally sit.
Tungsten is more than twice as dense as brass, so the same weight fits into a far slimmer barrel. Slimmer barrels group tighter: when two darts are already in the treble, the third still has room to join them. Every Legend dart is machined from 90% tungsten alloy.

Steel tip is the traditional game: bristle boards, pubs, leagues and television. Soft tip uses a lighter dart with a flexible plastic point on electronic boards, popular for home setups and machine leagues. If you play both, keep the same barrel style in each so your throw carries over.
Bigger standard flights add lift and stability, which suits slower, loopier throws. Slimmer flights cut through the air for flat, fast throwers. Shorter shafts tighten the dart’s flight but leave less room for your hand, and medium is the safe start. Change one thing at a time, or you won’t know what worked.
No dart is right for everyone. Use the specs to narrow it down, then let your hand decide. Pick a sensible weight, a grip you don’t notice and a shape that suits where you hold it. Then stop tinkering and practise.
