SILVER STAR GARY ANDERSON 80% TUNGSTEN DART

Gary Anderson Silver Star Player Endorsed darts offer affordable excellence for demanding players of all standards. Using World Class Unicorn engineering, this range provides unrivalled player appeal across a broad range of materials and configurations. Why tungsten for darts? The UniBoffin explains: Tungsten is Swedish for "heavy stone" and was well-named, being one of the densest substances known. The pure metal weighs around 19gms/cc, and although this reduces slightly when it is combined with small amounts of, eg, nickel to produce a more workable material, the resultant alloy. will still be 50% denser than lead and maybe twice as dense as brass or steel. Dart barrels in high percentage tungsten alloy can hence be far thinner for a given weight and length than ones made from more traditional materials, which obviously helps to avoid bed-blocking and allows three of them to nestle nicely in the treble 20 with room to spare.
