The Most Popular Darts by Barrel Shape on DartsDNA
Which darts are attracting the most attention from players who prefer straight, bomb, torpedo and scalloped barrels? We examined DartsDNA click data to find the current top three in each profile.
Updated October 2026. These rankings measure clicks from DartsDNA result pages—not worldwide sales. They show which recommendations our users have been most interested in viewing.
Choosing darts by popularity alone does not guarantee that they will suit your throw. However, seeing which darts attract the most interest from players exploring the same barrel profile can be a useful starting point.
Most Popular Straight Darts
Straight barrels offer a consistent width across most of the dart and can accommodate several different grip positions. This makes them one of the most versatile and widely used barrel profiles.
Most Popular Bomb-Shaped Darts
Bomb barrels concentrate more of their width into a shorter body. They can provide a substantial reference point in the hand and are often explored by players who prefer compact darts.
Most Popular Torpedo Darts
Torpedo barrels generally widen through the middle before tapering towards one or both ends. Their shape can provide a natural reference point and a different feel from a completely straight barrel.
Most Popular Mid-Scalloped Darts
A mid scallop creates a recessed section around the centre of the barrel. Players who grip near this area may use the scallop as a repeatable reference point for their fingers.
Most Popular Rear-Scalloped Darts
Rear-scalloped barrels provide a defined grip reference towards the back of the dart. They are primarily intended for players whose fingers naturally settle closer to the stem end of the barrel.
Does the Most Popular Dart Mean the Best Dart?
Not necessarily.
These rankings tell us which darts DartsDNA users have been most interested in, but every player has a different grip, release and throwing action.
A popular straight dart may be completely unsuitable for someone who needs a short bomb barrel. Likewise, two darts within the same barrel category can have very different grip patterns, dimensions and balance points.
Popularity can help you discover interesting options, but suitability should remain the deciding factor.
