Does the weight of a dart matter?
Most soft tip dart leagues have set weight limits. Some are still at a weight limit of 14 grams, and others will allow 16 to 18 grams. American Darters Assocation’s American Dart League will allow up to an 18 gram dart or the weight limit set by the machine owner. The weight is the full dart weight: tip, barrel, shaft and flight. With steel tip darts you may use up to a 50 gram dart (the weight of the barrel and point only). So in steel tip darts the weight will only mater to the individual. By trying different weights, you will feel if the weight is too heavy or light for you.
