# Is 97% Tungsten Darts Good?

Professionals often debate the ideal tungsten percentage for darts. Below, we break down key factors to help you decide if 97% tungsten darts suit your game.

Benefits of 97% Tungsten Darts

- Higher Density: Tungsten’s density allows for slimmer barrels without sacrificing weight, improving grip and tight grouping. *(Source: National Dart Association, 2023)*

- Durability: Resists wear better than brass or nickel-silver darts, maintaining barrel texture longer.

- Precision Balance: Optimal weight distribution enhances throwing consistency, preferred by advanced players.

Potential Drawbacks

- Cost: More expensive than lower-tungsten or alloy darts due to material and machining complexity.

- Grip Variability: Ultra-slim barrels may not suit players who prefer thicker grips.

- Brittleness Risk: Higher tungsten content can make darts more prone to chipping if mishandled.

How 97% Compares to Other Tungsten Grades

- 90% Tungsten: Slightly thicker barrel, better for players needing a wider grip.

- 80% Tungsten: More affordable but less durable over time.

- 95%+ Tungsten: Best for professionals prioritizing minimal barrel width and maximum control.

Expert Recommendations

- For Pros: 97% tungsten is ideal if you prioritize precision and longevity.

- For Casual Players: Consider 80–90% tungsten for cost efficiency.

- Maintenance Tip: Store in a case to prevent barrel damage.

Final Verdict

97% tungsten darts excel in performance and durability but require investment. Evaluate your playing style and budget before choosing.
