steel tip

Hard dart point

Steel tip refers to a dart with a sharp metal point, designed for use on traditional bristle dartboards.

Distinguished from soft tip darts used on electronic boards with plastic-holed surfaces.

Steel tips embed in the sisal fibers of the board: I prefer steel tip for the authentic pub feel.

The term applies to both the point itself and the dart type.
