Leash Cord

We offer 3 different types of dart cord. Each are excellent for rope dart flow; see the differences below to determine the best rope for your style! All leashes are pre-finished with a ball bearing swivel for easy installation to a loop on the dart head.

6mm smithy rope:

0.25" (6.5mm) 12-strand braided polyester rope, specifically designed for poi, darts, puppyhammers and other tethered props. It's supple and has better abrasion and sunlight resistance than nylon and MFP ropes used in many other props. It won't shrink, has lower stretch, and higher breaking strength. It can be cut with scissors, and you can melt the ends to prevent fray.

Braided cotton rope:

A light-weight, no-stretch 100% cotton braided cord recommended by the Rope Dart Academy for optimal dart use. This #6 cotton cord maintains consistent grip even with sweat, and after a brief initial break-in period, offers the ideal amount of friction for dart use for a long time compared to alternatives. Features a 3/16" diameter. Each foot weighs ~2g.

Dragon rope X (+$40):

This 14mm wide premium flat rope, made by our friends at Dark Monk, is made from a slick & durable synthetic fiber used extensively by NASA. Super smooth and abrasion-resistant, it is also extremely durable, able to withstand temperatures up to 300°F!

Excess cord is intended to be wrapped around your anchor wrist, but if you wish to change the length, we recommend a splicing technique with fid rather than knots.

RDA flow (+$40):

Designed and made by the Rope Dart Academy specifically for flowtoys LED darts, this 3/8" premium ripstop nylon leash is lightweight, super durable and hella smooth. Comes with a stainless steel swivel.
