# What Size Dart Shafts Do Pros Use?

Choosing the right dart shaft size is crucial for precision and consistency. Professionals carefully select shafts based on flight stability, grip, and throwing style. Below, we break down the most common sizes used by pros and why they work.

Common Dart Shaft Sizes Used by Professionals

- Short Shafts (30-35mm):

- Favored by players with a fast, direct throw.

- Reduces wobble for tighter groupings.

- Used by pros like Michael van Gerwen for quicker, flatter trajectories.

- Medium Shafts (40-45mm):

- The most versatile option, balancing speed and stability.

- Popular among Phil Taylor and other precision-focused players.

- Works well with standard flights for controlled arcs.

- Long Shafts (48-55mm):

- Ideal for players with a lob-style throw.

- Slows down the dart for better accuracy.

- Used by Gary Anderson for smoother, looping trajectories.

Factors Influencing Shaft Choice

- Throw Speed: Faster throws benefit from shorter shafts.

- Flight Type: Smaller flights pair well with short shafts, while larger flights need longer ones.

- Personal Preference: Many pros experiment before settling on a size.

Pro Tips for Choosing the Right Shaft

- Test different lengths to see which stabilizes your throw.

- Match shaft material (nylon, aluminum, carbon) to your grip and durability needs.

- Observe top players’ setups for inspiration but prioritize what feels best.

Final Thoughts

Professional dart players optimize shaft size for control and consistency. While trends exist, the best choice depends on your throw style. Experimentation is key—try different lengths to find your ideal match.
