Product Information

Full details

The Winmau Switch Points - Grooved Black are designed for serious dart players who require a customizable, stable, and highly durable dart setup. These precision-engineered points offer superior board grip through their integrated groove design, allowing for consistent performance across various throwing styles. While they provide excellent stability, players should note that they require specific dart barrels that accommodate a switch-point system, making them less universal than standard fixed-point darts.

FAQs

Are these points compatible with all Winmau barrels?

These points are specifically designed for Winmau barrels that utilize the switch-point system. Check your barrel specifications before purchase.

Do I need a special tool to install these?

While some systems are hand-tightened, using a dedicated dart-pointing or switch-point tool is recommended to ensure a secure fit.

Can I sharpen these points?

Yes, you can use a fine-grit stone to maintain the tip, though the black coating may wear off at the very tip during this process.

How often should I replace the points?

Replacement is recommended when the point becomes hooked, blunt, or if it no longer maintains a firm hold in the dartboard.

Will the black finish chip off?

The high-quality finish is durable, but normal wear from hitting other darts and the dartboard will occur over time.

Troubleshooting

Point feels loose in the barrel

Check that the point is fully seated in the switch-point housing and verify that the barrel's locking mechanism is tightened securely.

Difficulty inserting the point

Ensure the barrel threads are clean and free of debris or old adhesive before attempting to install the new point.

Excessive bounce-outs

Check the tip for burrs or bluntness; use a sharpening stone to restore the point profile if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Improved grip and stability for consistent throwing
  • High-durability materials resistant to wear
  • Sleek black aesthetic matches most dart barrel styles
  • Reduces bounce-outs due to optimized board penetration

Cons

  • Requires barrels specifically designed for switch-point systems
  • May not be compatible with standard fixed-point dart barrels
  • Requires initial setup to ensure proper seating

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your dart barrels are fully compatible with the Winmau switch-point mechanism. Insert the points using the appropriate re-pointing tool or designated switch-point wrench to ensure they are seated deeply and squarely within the barrel collar. Avoid over-tightening, which can strip the internal threads. To maintain the points, wipe them down with a clean, dry cloth after each session to remove sisal fibers and dust. If the points become dull or hooked from repetitive impact, use a fine-grit sharpening stone to gently dress the tips, ensuring you do not compromise the black finish more than necessary.
