Standard Dart Flights

The standard shape is the most common, and also the largest. The larger size of the flight causes added drag, slowing down the flight of the dart. This helps to minimize the impact of throwing angles that aren’t perfect. In general, the larger flights are more forgiving. If you don’t like to throw your darts with a lot of force, a large, standard flight may be an ideal choice.

Slim Dart Flights

Slim flights have a similar shape to standard flights, but are not as wide. The smaller size reduces drag and allows the darts to fly through the air faster. If you like to throw darts with some force, or if you use lightweight darts, a slim flight may be the ideal choice for you. They are often used with soft-tipped darts, because soft-tipped darts tend to be lighter than steel-tipped darts.

Kite or Lantern Dart Flights

Kite and lantern dart flights are both smaller than standard flights, but larger than slim flights. You’ll get more throwing speed than you would get with a standard flight, but less than you would get with a slim flight.

Teardrop Dart Flights

Teardrop flights are on the smaller side, although not as small as slim flights. They help to keep the tail of the dart down.

General Rules

In general, larger flights are better for heavy darts (often steel tip) or if you like to loft or lob the dart rather than throwing it with force.

And in general, smaller flights are better for light darts (often soft tip) or if you prefer to throw the darts hard with force.

Another factor that you’ll want to consider is texture. Dart flights can be very smooth or textured. Smooth flights will create less drag and fly a little faster.

Of course, if you are concerned about getting the best dart flights, you’ll also want to have quality darts. See our reviews of the best darts. And you’ll also want a good dartboard. See our reviews of the best dartboards.

How to Choose the Right Dart Flights

If you have been playing darts for a while, maybe you already know whether you prefer a larger (standard) flight or a slim flight. If you’re still finding your preference, we recommend a variety pack like the one from Cavalier Darts. With the variety pack, you can try several different styles to see what you prefer, rather than paying more for a high-quality flight that might not be the best dart flights for you.
