Product Information

Full details

The Winmau Blackout 1 Darts in 28g are engineered for serious players who prioritize consistent weight and slim profiles for improved scoring accuracy. These precision-engineered tungsten darts offer a classic design that balances stability with aerodynamic flight, making them an ideal choice for competitors seeking professional-grade equipment. However, the heavier 28g weight profile may prove challenging for beginners who lack a stable, consistent release, requiring a bit more effort to manage the weight during extended play sessions.

FAQs

Is the 28g weight suitable for beginners?

Generally, 28g is quite heavy for beginners. Most novices benefit from starting in the 20g-24g range to learn consistent form before moving up to heavier barrels.

What material are these darts made of?

These are made from high-density tungsten, which allows for a smaller barrel size while maintaining significant weight.

Are the shafts and flights replaceable?

Yes, both the shafts and flights are industry-standard sizes and can be replaced with any compatible third-party components.

Does the blackout coating affect grip?

The coating is designed for durability and aesthetics. If you find it slippery, consider using a light application of dart wax or grip enhancer.

How often should I replace the flights?

Flights should be replaced as soon as they become ripped, creased, or misshapen, as these defects will negatively impact the flight path of the dart.

Troubleshooting

Darts are landing at an angle or 'tail-high'

Your throw may be dropping too quickly. Try a slightly higher follow-through or check if your flight is damaged and needs replacing.

Dart points becoming dull or hooked

Use a specialized dart sharpener to carefully remove burrs, but avoid over-sharpening as this can damage the sisal fibers in your board.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-density tungsten allows for a slimmer barrel
  • Excellent weight balance promotes consistent grouping
  • Durable flight and shaft construction
  • Professional-grade quality for competitive play

Cons

  • 28g weight may be too heavy for some throwing styles
  • The heavy profile requires a consistent and controlled release
  • Blackout finish may show wear signs after heavy impact

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the life of your Winmau Blackout darts, follow these best practices:

  1. Shaft Maintenance: Ensure your shafts are screwed tightly into the barrel before every session to prevent wobbling during flight.
  2. Flight Care: Flights are consumables; if they begin to fray or lose their shape, replace them immediately to maintain aerodynamic stability.
  3. Surface Protection: Use a quality sisal board. Because these are heavy 28g darts, playing on a low-quality or worn-out dartboard will cause faster material fatigue on both the board and the dart points.
  4. Storage: Always store your darts in a dedicated case. Avoid tossing them into a drawer or pouch where the points can be blunted by contact with other metal objects.
