Dart Shafts

Dart shafts (also commonly referred to as dart stems) are basically the section of the dart that connects to the barrel of the dart and holds the flight. As with the other parts of the dart, they also come in different shapes and sizes.

For example you can buy really short shafts that create a small and compact dart, or you can use full-length shafts that may give you a little more control.

You can also choose from different materials. For instance you can choose the more expensive metal shaft, which will generally last the longest, or you can choose a plastic or nylon shaft which look better and are a little cheaper, but are also prone to breaking.

If you are a decent player you may also want to invest in some spinning shafts. These shafts help your scoring because when a dart comes into contact with another dart, the shaft spins, helping it to enter it's target. They also help protect your flights.

As always it's down to personal preference and you just need to test out different shafts to see which ones suit you best.
