Winmau Soft Tip Darts vs Viper Elite Soft Tip Darts

Buy the Winmau if you want a dart that holds its grip and weight over years of play. Tungsten is denser than brass, so a 20 g tungsten barrel is slimmer and lets you group darts tighter on the board. The Viper Elite is a complete starter set with flights, shafts and Tufflex II tips included, and its knurled brass barrel suits casual players. Owners of tungsten darts report less wear and a more consistent feel; brass barrels dent and lose grip sooner.

• Choose the Winmau if you play regularly, want a slim barrel for tight groupings, and value a barrel that keeps its feel over time.
• Choose the Viper Elite if you are new to soft tip, want a ready-to-throw set with spare tips and shafts, and prefer a textured knurled grip.
