Extending The Life Of Your Darts

Extending The Life Of Your Darts

Premier Darts |

As an avid dart player, you know that darts can wear out over time. Instead of buying a brand-new set every time, you can extend their life by replacing the individual parts that wear or break most often.

Identifying Replaceable Parts

Darts are made up of four main components: the flight, point, shaft and barrel. Of these, flights and shafts are the most susceptible to wear and tear, but points and barrels can also be replaced if needed.

Fixing Broken Shafts

A broken shaft doesn’t mean the end of your dart. Simply remove the damaged piece from the barrel — using a pin, knife or small screwdriver if necessary — and replace it with a new shaft to restore your setup.

Dealing with Broken Points

Steel tip darts rarely break, but soft tip points can snap and even get stuck in the dartboard. If the broken piece is visible, it can be removed with pliers or fingers. For deeper breaks, a dart tip removal tool makes the job easier.

Replacing Flights and Shafts

Replacing a worn flight or shaft is quick and simple. Flights slide onto the shaft, while shafts can be unscrewed and swapped for new ones if bent or damaged.

Getting Help with Repairs

If you’re unsure how to repair your darts or need extra advice, contact our customer service team. They’ll be happy to guide you through fixing or replacing parts.

The Benefits of Replacing Individual Parts

By replacing parts instead of buying a new set, you’ll save money and extend the lifespan of your darts — especially valuable if you play frequently. Flights, shafts, tips and even barrels can all be replaced to keep your setup performing at its best.

Don’t throw away your favourite darts when they wear out. With a few simple replacements, you can keep playing with confidence for years to come.
