Viper Desperado Steel Tip Darts

Yes, the 24-gram weight is a standard, manageable choice for beginners, and the knurled grip provides the tactile feedback needed to learn consistent release mechanics.

These are steel-tip darts, so they are designed exclusively for use with sisal or bristle dartboards. Do not use them on electronic or plastic-faced boards, as they will cause permanent damage.

Tungsten is denser than brass or nickel-silver, allowing for a slimmer barrel profile. This slimness is a significant advantage because it lets you pack your darts closer together in the board, reducing the chance of deflections and increasing your scoring potential.

The locking holes allow you to use a dart tool to tighten the shaft securely into the barrel. This prevents the shaft from loosening during play, which is a common issue with standard aluminum shafts that can disrupt your throw.

The TacTech case comes with a repair tool, a set of spare nylon shafts, and extra flights. Having these backups is essential for quick repairs if a flight gets damaged or a shaft breaks during a session.

The barrel features knurled bands and deep grooves, which provide a medium-to-aggressive level of texture. It is designed to offer a reliable, non-slip grip that helps you maintain control even if your hands get sweaty during a long game.
