Target Swiss Point Tips

Target Swiss Point – Easily change steel-tip dart points

Target Swiss Points are interchangeable steel-tip dart points for darts with a compatible interchangeable point system. Instead of pressing the point out of the barrel with a repointer, as with classic steel-tip darts, Swiss Points can be unscrewed and changed within seconds using the appropriate Swiss Point Tool.

This makes it particularly easy to try out different point lengths, grip variations, or colours and to individually adjust your dart setup.

At Diplomatgames, you will find a wide selection of Target Swiss Points in different lengths, colours, and finishes – from classic smooth Swiss Points to heavily structured variations for additional finger and board grip.

What is the Target Swiss Point System?

Swiss Point is Target's patented interchangeable point system. The point is securely connected to the barrel via a combination of thread and a conical connection.

The compact Swiss Point Tool is used to change Swiss Points. This allows the existing point to be loosened and a new Swiss Point to be inserted.

The system offers several advantages:

  • Point change within seconds
  • No classic repointer required
  • Various point lengths available
  • Different grip profiles
  • Various colours and finishes
  • Damaged points quickly replaceable
  • Easy adjustment of the dart setup

Swiss Points and other interchangeable point systems

Target Swiss Points are not exclusively limited to Target Swiss Point barrels. They can also be used with other compatible interchangeable point systems.

Similarly, points from other compatible interchangeable point systems can be used in Swiss Point barrels. The crucial factor is that the respective point and the barrel's receptacle are technically compatible.

For changing points, the appropriate tool for the point system used is always required. For Target Swiss Points, the Swiss Point Tool is used for this purpose.

Classic steel-tip dart barrels with fixed, pressed-in points, however, do not have a corresponding interchangeable point receptacle. With these barrels, the points are usually removed and inserted with a repointer.

What Target Swiss Points are available?

One of the biggest advantages of the system is the enormous selection. Target offers Swiss Points with different finishes, grip structures, lengths, and colours.

Depending on the assortment, you will find, for example:

  • Classic Swiss Points
  • Swiss Nano Points
  • Swiss Diamond Pro Points
  • Swiss Fire Points
  • Swiss Storm Points
  • Swiss Storm Nano Points
  • Swiss Storm Diamond Points
  • Swiss Storm Surge Points
  • Swiss GRD Points
  • Swiss DX Points
  • Other special and player variants

This allows the point to be adapted not only visually but also functionally to your own throwing style.

Smooth or grippy Swiss Points?

Which surface is right depends on what you expect from your dart point.

Smooth Swiss Points

Smooth points offer a classic playing feel and are particularly suitable for players who do not require additional finger grip on the point.

They generally put less strain on the sisal of the dartboard than aggressively structured points.

Swiss Points with Board Grip

Structured surfaces can improve the grip of the point in the dartboard. This can be particularly interesting if darts with smooth points frequently fall out of the board.

However, the more aggressive the structure, the greater the wear on the sisal can be.

Swiss Points with Finger Grip

Some dart players do not exclusively grip the barrel when throwing, but place one or more fingers on the point.

For these players, Target offers various Swiss Points with grooves, nano-structures, or other grip zones. This can create an additional reference point for the fingers and support a reproducible grip.

Swiss Storm Points – smooth transition to the barrel

The Target Swiss Storm Points differ from classic Swiss Points due to their special shape. The rear area of the point is designed to create the smoothest possible transition between the point and the barrel.

This can be particularly advantageous for tight groupings, as subsequent darts are less likely to be deflected by a pronounced edge between the point and the barrel.

Within the Storm series, different surfaces and grip profiles are also available.

Nano, Diamond, Fire & Co. – what are the differences?

The names of the Swiss Points often refer to different surface structures.

Nano: Very fine grooves or microstructures provide additional grip.

Diamond: A diamond-like structure offers additional grip for fingers and the dartboard.

Fire: A more pronounced, milled structure is aimed particularly at players who prefer additional grip on the point.

DX: Combines different grip structures within a single point.

GRD: A specially treated grip surface offers another alternative for players looking for a clearly tactile point grip.

Which variant works best is very individual. This is precisely why the Swiss Point System offers the advantage of being able to try out various points without much effort.

Which length should I choose?

The length of the dart point also influences the setup. Target offers various Swiss Point lengths depending on the model, for example, 26 mm, 30 mm, 35 mm, or 40 mm.

Shorter Swiss Points

Shorter points result in a more compact dart setup and correspond more to the classic feel of many steel-tip darts.

Medium Swiss Points

30 or 35 mm is a good starting point for many players and offers a balanced combination of handling and space in the triple.

Long Swiss Points

Longer points can offer advantages in tight groupings. The barrel is further away from the board, which can create more space between the darts.

However, the optimal length always depends on the individual throwing style and the dart used.

Swiss Point Tool – change points in seconds

The Target Swiss Point Tool is used to change Target Swiss Points. The point has a specially designed groove into which the tool is inserted.

Another advantage of this construction: Even if a Swiss Point breaks at the intended breaking point, the remaining part can usually still be unscrewed from the barrel with the Swiss Point Tool.

This allows a damaged point to be replaced quickly, and the dart can then be played with immediately.

Anyone using Swiss Points or points from another compatible interchangeable system will need the tool specifically designed for the point in use for installation and removal.

Which Swiss Point is right for me?

The right point depends on several factors:

Desire Suitable Variant
Classic playing feel Smooth Swiss Points
More grip in the board Structured Swiss Points
Finger rests on the point Points with finger grip
Smooth transition to the barrel Swiss Storm variants
Finest possible grip Nano variants
Strongly tactile structure Diamond, Fire or other grip variants
More space for tight groupings Longer Swiss Points

Therefore, there is no single best Swiss Point. Length, surface, and grip should match your own throwing style and dart setup.
