Do heavy darts make you tired after long play?

Yes, playing with heavy darts over a long period can lead to fatigue. The weight of the darts can strain your arm muscles, particularly if you're repeatedly throwing darts with force. This fatigue may affect your accuracy and overall performance as you continue to play. It's essential to find a dart weight that feels comfortable for you to minimize fatigue and maintain consistency throughout your game.

I will disagree with Tahmid. It's what you get used to. Phil Taylor started with 22 grams and was throwing 26 later in his life.  We are not talking Olympic weights here.  Your body will adjust to the dart you choose. (Now, with that said. I would not shoot with anything over 26 grams.) There have been dart pros who have used heavier darts. Darts can weigh between 12 and 50 grams.  It is commonly thought that a heavier dart will tire the arm. This obviously is not true for players who commonly use heavier darts. There may be a 'comfort curve,' but your body and stroke should adjust.  

Finally, if you opt to throw a heavier dart, making a transition between soft-tip, which requires a lighter dart, and steel-tip, could be difficult. Adjusting to the difference in weight might be a problem. Most players use darts that weigh between 22 and 26 grams. I think you are fairly safe selecting a set you enjoy throwing within that range. 

Dart Barrels are the central component of a dart, crafted to provide balance, precision, and control during play. Typically made from high-quality materials like tungsten or aluminum, dart barrels come in various shapes, weights, and grip styles to suit different playing preferences. The design of the barrel affects how the dart feels in hand and its flight path, making it crucial for achieving consistent performance. Whether you prefer a sleek, slim barrel for a streamlined throw or a more textured grip for enhanced control, choosing the right barrel can significantly impact your game. With numerous options available, players can find barrels tailored to their specific needs and throwing style, enhancing both their accuracy and enjoyment of the sport.

A heavier dart. if correctly thrown with the same velocity and effort, will attain a higher position in the board than a lighter dart. Articulation and rhythm will see to that! 

A dart that is heavier. will place higher on the board than a lighter dart if thrown correctly and with the same amount of force and speed. That will be ensured via rhythm and articulation!

Hello.

I'm only recently learning how to play darts, I have played before but just throwing at the board with no real thought about how to get better. I have owned many sets of darts, and have tried all different weights.

I don't know what weight to use right now. I like the heavier darts but my aim gets worse the longer I play. I think it may be fatigue (even though I don't actually feel any.)

Is that actually a thing? Should I just keep pushing on with the darts the feel right and the issue will get better over time?

Anyone else experience such a thing?

When i was new with Dart, i have not darts myself and friend just have boards and darts with all variations. And although i am amateur that time but still it hurt my arm. Later on, when i use dart with full knowledge, like i know about throw and material matter too then i choose shop that give me best things. And after that i got my pain gone. I guess you should choose less grams dart before go into heavy ones.
