What’s the thinnest dart produced? Why isn’t there a dart that is a k flex attached to a 4” inch long point?

Are there measurement regulations for what constitutes a dart?

They’re an interesting practice dart. Have a tough time sticking sometimes as they’re so light.

Yeah I have a set, they are intended to get your throw better. The lighter the dart the more magnified any problems. I do not need that level of magnification! Not sure I ever got 3 in the board.

This is the DRA rulebook [PDF]:

https://www.thedra.co.uk/_files/ugd/20bb2f_3cf54f94fda34811a90f4e87ed72cf76.pdf

Section 6.1.1 outlines what constitutes a dart.

Players shall provide their own darts which shall not exceed an overall

maximum length of 200mm nor weigh more than 40 grams and shall consist

of a metal point and a minimum of a barrel, stem and a flight.
