Product Information

Full details

The Winmau Firestorm Steel Tip Darts are designed for intermediate to professional players who require a heavy, stable barrel for consistent scoring. These darts utilize advanced full-length mill-grip technology to ensure a secure feel throughout the throwing motion, making them ideal for those who prefer a reliable, grippy barrel. However, at a weight of 28g, these darts are significantly heavier than the standard, which may require an adjustment period for players accustomed to lighter setups.

FAQs

Are these darts suitable for beginners?

While high quality, the 28g weight is heavier than the average beginner dart. It is a great choice if you prefer a heavier feel, but may require practice to master.

Can I use these on an electronic dartboard?

No. These are steel tip darts and will damage the sensors on electronic dartboards. They are designed only for bristle boards.

What is the benefit of the mill-grip?

The full-length mill-grip provides consistent tactile feedback along the entire barrel, ensuring you have the same grip feel regardless of where you place your fingers.

Do these darts come with flights and shafts?

Yes, they typically include standard Winmau shafts and flights, though these are consumables that can be replaced with your preferred style.

How often should I sharpen the points?

Sharpen your points whenever you notice them becoming dull, or if you see the dart struggling to penetrate the sisal fibers of your board.

Troubleshooting

Dart falling out of the board

Ensure the dart points are sharp; if they have become blunt or rounded, use a stone sharpener to restore a tapered point.

Excessive bounce-outs

Check if your board is oversaturated or if you are throwing at an angle that causes the barrel to strike the wire; adjust your throw angle or rotate your dartboard regularly.

Flights falling off during flight

Check the flight slots for damage; if they are loose, use a flight punch or a set of flight protectors to hold them securely in place.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Consistent, high-grip surface across the full barrel length
  • Substantial 28g weight provides excellent stability in flight
  • Professional-grade build quality synonymous with Winmau
  • Visually distinct design that stands out on the oche

Cons

  • The 28g weight may feel too heavy for players with a faster release
  • Aggressive grip may wear down flight materials faster upon impact
  • Not suitable for use with electronic dartboards

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get the most out of your Firestorm darts, ensure your bristle board is mounted at the standard height of 5 feet 8 inches to the center of the bullseye. Because these are steel-tip darts, they are exclusively designed for natural or sisal bristle boards; do not use them on plastic-faced electronic boards as this will cause permanent damage.

Care Instructions:

  1. Keep your points sharp using a dedicated dart sharpener to maintain penetration and reduce board damage.
  2. Regularly inspect the mill-grip for debris or fiber buildup from the dartboard, which can be removed with a soft-bristled brush.
  3. Store your darts in a dedicated case to prevent the steel points from dulling and to protect the flight fins from bending.
