26g Steel Tip Darts

A 26g steel tip dart is one of the most popular weights with hundreds of different sets available on the Darts Corner website. The weight of darts you choose can have an influence on how you play, as well as your style and enjoyment of the game.

Darts 26g in weight was the ideal choice for the 16-time world champion Phil Taylor, who used this particular weight of dart during his professional career. Check out our full range of steel tip darts and, for heavier options, our 28g and 30g collections, and for lighter choices our 22g and 24g selections.

Who are 26g darts suitable for?

Using 26g darts is a good choice for players of all levels depending on how they hold and throw a dart. A heavier dart (26g or above) tends to work better if your darts fly straight, as the heavier weighted dart will ensure its trajectory remains as straight and stable as possible.

If you find that throwing with 26g darts makes your darts fly more indirect, like in an arc lamp shape, then a lighter dart (22-24g) might be a more ideal option. The lighter weight can help your darts fly straighter through the air because you will be using less effort to throw them, which leads to more consistent play.

Professional 26g Darts

The most famous professional player who uses 26g darts is Phil Taylor. The 16-time world champion is considered by many darts fans as the greatest player of all time, and during his career in the PDC he worked with various manufacturers including Unicorn. A typical dart used by ‘The Power’ would be made with a tungsten barrel and include an enhanced grip at the rear of the dart, the position where he holds the dart in his hand.

This collection also includes signature darts for many other players in a weight of 26g, including Michael Smith, Dave Chisnall, Josh Rock and Lisa Ashton.
