Product Information

Full details

The Winmau Switch Points in Grooved Black are designed for serious dart players looking to refine their throw through enhanced grip and consistent point performance. These precision-engineered accessories offer a tactical advantage by adding texture to the point, which can help prevent bounce-outs and improve board penetration. While they offer excellent durability and aesthetic appeal, players should note that installing replacement points often requires a dedicated repointing tool and a degree of mechanical comfort with dart maintenance.

FAQs

Can I install these points by hand?

No, a professional dart repointing tool is required to safely remove old points and securely press in the new Winmau Switch Points.

Will these points fit all dart barrels?

They are designed for most standard steel-tip barrels, but it is recommended to ensure your barrel is compatible with standard press-fit points.

Do the grooves wear out over time?

While made of durable material, the grooves can wear down slightly through constant impact with the board, though they generally maintain their performance for a long duration.

Do these points change the weight of my dart?

They may cause a very minor shift in weight or balance; it is recommended to install them on all three darts in a set to maintain consistent performance.

How do I keep the black finish looking good?

Keep the points clean of sisal dust and avoid contact with hard surfaces, which can scratch or chip the black coating.

Troubleshooting

Point feels loose in the barrel after installation

Ensure the repointing tool pressed the point to the correct depth. If it remains loose, the barrel hole may have been widened; consult a professional or use a thread-locking adhesive designed for darts.

Dart is causing excessive damage to the dartboard

Grooved points can be sharp and textured; ensure your board is rotated frequently to distribute the impact and reduce localized wear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Improved grip for players who hold the point during their throw
  • Sleek black coating provides a premium, customized look
  • Enhanced board penetration and retention due to grooved texture
  • High-grade steel construction ensures long-lasting durability

Cons

  • Requires a dart repointing tool for installation
  • Changing points can potentially affect the balance of the dart if not done carefully
  • The grooved surface may cause slightly more wear on sisal dartboards over time compared to smooth points

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install Winmau Switch Points, you must use a professional-grade dart repointing tool to remove the original points and press the new ones into the barrel. Ensure you have the correct depth measurement before locking them in place. These points are compatible with most standard steel-tip dart barrels. To maintain the grip quality, occasionally wipe the points with a dry cloth to remove debris and sisal dust that can accumulate in the grooves. Avoid dropping your darts on hard surfaces like concrete, as this can blunt the tips or deform the grooves, impacting their performance and potential to damage the board.
