Knowing what darts professional players use is one of the fastest ways to narrow down your own equipment choices. Every professional on the PDC Tour throws 90% tungsten darts, but barrel shape, weight, grip pattern, and length vary enormously from player to player. Tommy's Darts Shop stocks over 50 signature and professional-grade darts, many of which are the exact barrels used on televised stages worldwide.
The Biggest Names and What They Throw
Luke Littler. Target Luke Littler G1 (23g)
The Luke Littler G1 (£109.95) is the dart that accompanied Littler to his World Championship title. At 23g with a detailed grip pattern and 90% tungsten barrel, the G1 is engineered for speed and clean release. His more affordable Luke Littler Loadout (£54.95) shares the same design principles. Read our full breakdown in the Luke Littler darts guide.
Phil Taylor. Target Phil Taylor G10 (26g)
The Phil Taylor G10 (£99.95) represents ten generations of refinement from the greatest player the sport has ever seen. The 16-time World Champion's relationship with Target produced some of the most iconic barrel designs in darts history, and the G10 is the culmination of that partnership.
Stephen Bunting. Target Bunting G5 (18g)
The Bunting G5 (£94.95) proves that light darts work at the highest level. At just 18g, Bunting's setup is among the lightest on tour, yet he remains one of the most dangerous finishers in the game. The Bunting G5 Void (£94.95) adds precision cutaway sections that alter the weight distribution and grip feel.
Nathan Aspinall. Target Asp G2 (23g)
The Asp G2 (£94.95) is Aspinall's refined second-generation barrel. The Asp G1 (£54.95) is where his Target journey began, and the Asp Echo (£74.95) revisits the original barrel profile that first established him as a force on tour.
Rob Cross. Target Rob Cross G2 (21g)
The Rob Cross G2 (£74.95) is the second generation of the 2018 World Champion's signature dart. The Rob Cross G1 (£54.95) has been a bestseller since his debut title, and the Black Edition (£79.95) adds a titanium nitride coating for durability and visual impact.
Josh Rock. Target Josh Rock G1 (24g)
The Josh Rock G1 (£94.95) matches the fearless, attacking style that has already delivered major titles at a young age. A heavier 24g barrel with aggressive grip gives Rock the control he needs for his power game.

Frequently Asked Questions
What brand of darts do most professionals use?
Target, Winmau, Red Dragon, Harrows, and Mission are the most common brands on the professional circuit. Tommy's Darts Shop stocks an extensive range of Target signature darts from over 20 PDC players.
Do professional players use 80% or 90% tungsten?
All professional players use 90% tungsten or higher. The increased density provides the slimmest possible barrel, which is critical when grouping three darts into a treble bed at the highest level.
Should I buy the same darts as my favourite player?
A signature dart is a good starting point if your throwing style is similar to that player's. However, the best dart for you is one that matches your specific grip, release, and weight preference. Trying different barrels is the best way to find your ideal setup.
What is the most popular dart weight on the PDC Tour?
23g is the most common weight among top professionals. However, weights range from 18g (Stephen Bunting) to 32g (Ryan Searle), so there is no single correct answer.
Are signature darts worth the extra cost?
Signature darts are designed in collaboration with the player and reflect their specific requirements. The engineering and finish are typically a step up from non-signature ranges. Whether that premium is worth it depends on your budget and how important barrel specifics are to your game.
