Best steel tip tungsten darts

Top pick: Red Dragon Dragonfly 95 (23 g). 95% tungsten is about as dense as steel-tip barrels get, so the same weight comes in a slimmer barrel that groups tighter and leaves more room in the treble. The tapered nose suits a front-to-middle grip and lets you stack darts close.

Who the others suit:

• Winmau Kairos 2 (24 g, 90%): an aggressive grip level — the one for players who want the barrel to bite and don't mind a slightly thicker dart.
• Elkadart Rainbow 90% (25 g): a heavier, iridescent set for someone who likes a bit more weight in the hand.
• Shot Warrior Tipu (21 g, 80%): lighter and less dense — a good step up from brass or nickel for a newer player.
• Winmau Sniper Black: a clean, no-fuss barrel if you prefer a simpler grip.

Skip the cheap multi-pack "tungsten" sets — the barrels are thin on tungsten and won't hold a consistent weight.
