What to Keep in Your Dart Case: 7 Match-Night Essentials

There's nothing worse than a snapped shaft or a split flight halfway through a league match, and nobody in the pub has a spare. Most of what you need fits in the pocket of your dart case. Here's what we carry.

1. Spare flights

Flights split, crease and get chewed up by other darts. Keep at least one spare set, ideally the same shape you normally use.

2. Spare shafts

Nylon shafts snap. Aluminium ones bend. Either way, a spare set saves the day. If you're constantly replacing them, read our guide to aluminium vs nylon shafts.

3. A broken shaft remover

When a shaft snaps inside the barrel, you can't just pull it out with your fingers. A Broken Shaft Removal Tool gets the broken piece out in seconds. Here's how to use one.

4. A sharpener

Points get blunt and burred, especially if you hit wire. A quick touch-up cuts down bounce-outs. Our Keyring Dart Sharpener clips onto your keys so it's always with you. More in how to sharpen your dart points.

5. Finger grip wax

Hot room, sweaty hands, slipping darts. A touch of finger grip wax sorts it. See our tips on getting a better grip.

6. Flight rings

If your flights keep dropping out, Aluminium Flight Rings hold them tight. A pack gives you 5 sets, so there are plenty of spares, and you can choose a colour for each set.

7. O-rings

If you use aluminium shafts, a few spare O-rings stop them working loose in the barrel.

The easy way: grab a pack

Our Player's Essentials Pack puts the sharpener, broken shaft remover and grip wax in one pack, for less than buying them separately. Add the Flight & Shaft Grip Kit and your case is sorted.
