Re: Advice on Darts
You can definately find a nice set in your price range. I would recommend going to a local billiards supply (most of them have decent dart selections). Tell them it is a gift and make sure they will allow exchanges. Get a set that is made of tungsten (that's the good stuff). Do you know if he plays steel tip or soft tip darts?(very important)

Re: Advice on Darts
The only way to be sure to get him a set he will like is to take him with you when buy the set. Darts and peoples preference for them vary greatly. If you don't bring him along I'd say that you only have a 20% chance of finding him a great set. Go to a major sporting goods store and expect to pay anywhere from $40 - $80.

If you get a set, and it's not a good weight for him, he just won't use them. Bring him & you're guaranteed to get the perfect ones for him. He'll appreciate it much more. |

Re: Advice on Darts
Get him some mid-weight fixed-tip Black Widows(like $109). I don't see how anybody wouldn't like 'em. Movable tips are cool, but more expensive and not as durable(like $129).
