What are Soft tip darts?
Soft tip darts differ from steel tip darts in a few ways. First
being the obvious, the point of the dart is plastic rather than
steel. More importantly though, soft tip dart games play by
different rules than steel tip in most cases. Examples are: - The
throw line is a different measurment from the board - Points are
calculated differently - The targets on the dartboard are larger
than a steel tip dartboard In soft tip darts the dartboard is
usually electronic and keeps score for the players. Another
difference from steel tip, in soft tip as long as the dartboard
registers your shot, your dart can fall out or never even have
stuck and still count towards your shot. In steel tip the point of
the dart must be touching the board in order to count.
