Why Soft-Tip Darts? Soft tips darts are much easier to play as the target sections are bigger (bigger treble, bigger double and bullseye) it’s easier to score 100 for example, so this equalises the game for everyone – your average in soft tips will naturally be higher than steel tips as the target sections that score higher are bigger. A much better player will win in a steel tip match, but in soft tips sometimes a better player on paper will lose. A good steel tip player will likely be a very good soft tip player, but not necessary the other way around – a good soft tip player may not be a good steel tip player. There’s only 1 exception, because in soft tips there is a limit to the weight of the dart – maximum of 20g, so if you are a steel tip player that likes to use a heavy dart, say +28g it may be a struggle to get used to soft tips. There still is a slight stigma with soft tip darts especially in England I think, maybe stigma is too strong a word – I think people think it’s like playing ‘toy’ darts, and as mentioned you have to pay for games which people don’t like. It’s also because soft tips are an ‘off-shoot’, it’s not strictly the ‘pure’ game. But compare snooker and pool, tennis to table tennis, football to beach soccer. Games evolve with the times, and times they are a changing. Soft tip darts have much more flexibility than the ‘pure’ game. Games can automatically be handicapped, the machines also keep all your data like points per dart, dart averages, high scores and win/ loss % – so you can see if you are improving. However, the bigest and fastest growing type of darts sport around Asia is soft-tip darts. Be in to win! Try it out at Red Bar, 70-72 Ngo Duc Ke, D1.
