Free dart weight selector for steel-tip bristle boards and soft-tip electronic leagues. Combine tip type, how long you have played, how snappy your release feels, and whether you like front- or rear-weighted setups to see a suggested gram weight and a small try band before you buy barrels, points, and stems.

The selector starts from a typical league baseline—about 23 g ready-to-throw for steel and about 16 g for soft tip—then applies small offsets for whether you are still building a repeatable throw, how aggressive your release feels, and whether you prefer more mass forward of the center of the dart. The result is clamped to realistic retail windows, rounded to the nearest half gram, and expanded into a ±1.5 g band so you can try neighbors on the practice board.
grams ≈ baseline + experience + tempo + balancethen clamp, round to 0.5 g, band ±1.5 gBaselines and offsets are simplified averages—they cannot replace throwing several matched sets at your league line distance.
