Best 23g Darts to Compare

23g is a useful middle ground for steel-tip darts. The weight is common; the real decision is which shape, diameter and grip pattern fits your hand.

Updated September 2026 · Specification-led guidance

Quick answer

There is no single best 23g dart. Start by comparing a straight all-round barrel with a more shaped option at the same weight, then use length and diameter to refine the fit.

Why 23g is a strong comparison weight

At 23g you can compare many brands without making weight the dominant difference. It sits between the widely used 22g and 24g options and is available across beginner-friendly, professional and specialist designs.

Verified 23g models to inspect

The current database includes several useful reference points. Target Luke Littler G1 SP offers a modern player-design reference; Harrows Rival 90% provides a conventional tungsten option; and Red Dragon Javelin is useful when examining a long, slim profile. Availability and price can change, so treat these as specification comparisons rather than a ranked shopping list.

What to compare at the same weight

Specification	What it changes	Question to ask
Length	Finger spacing and leverage	Do all fingers fit naturally?
Diameter	Hand feel and grouping room	Does slim feel secure?
Shape	Grip freedom or reference	Do I move my grip?
Grip pattern	Traction and release	Does it leave cleanly?
Point system	Point replacement choices	Do I value quick changes?

Do not rank darts by tungsten percentage alone

A higher tungsten percentage can allow a compact profile, but it does not guarantee a better grip or release. A well-matched 90% barrel can outperform a 95% barrel that puts grooves or width in the wrong place for your hand.

How to build your shortlist

Filter the database to 23g steel-tip variants.
Choose two shapes rather than six visually similar models.
Check exact dimensions for the 23g version.
Use Compare Darts to remove near-duplicates.
Test the finalists without changing every setup component.

23g darts FAQ

Is 23g considered heavy?

No. It sits near the centre of the common adult steel-tip range.

Can the 23g version have different dimensions?

Yes. Manufacturers sometimes change diameter or length across weights, so check the exact variant rather than the model headline.

Should I move from 24g to 23g?

Test the change if 24g feels slightly laboured, ideally using the same barrel family so the one-gram difference is meaningful.
