soft tip

Padded dart end

Soft tip describes a point or end made of flexible, non-rigid material.

Most commonly refers to darts with plastic tips designed for electronic dartboards rather than traditional bristle boards: We play soft tip at the bar because they have electronic boards.

Also describes markers, styluses, or other implements with cushioned or pliable ends to prevent scratching or damage.
