What dart weight do pros use

What dart weight do pros use and how does that compare to the darts we all use when playing in leagues or down in our local darts venue? Pro dart players are just like normal players as they use a wide range of different weights.

Table of darts weights as used by the professional players

We have created a searchable table of the darts weights used by the PDC pros in 2024 using the information currently available to the public. This information has been sourced from various players including the PDC website, dart players own website, and the website of darts manufacturers such as Winmau and Target darts.

Update 18th August 2025: I have updated the table of dart weights used to include the competitors in the ANZ Premier League 2025

The table below can be searched by player, manufacturer and by the specific dart weight you are looking for. Clicking on a highlighted link will take you to the collection pages on Amazon, as an affiliate I receive a small commission which helps pay for the upkeep of this website.

What dart weight do the pros use

Disclaimer: Weights and manufacturer for each player are accurate at the time of publishing. As with any sport players in darts do change sponsors and the materials they use from time to time, and we will update the tables as and when new information is made available. If you know of any changes a player has made and we have missed please shoor us a message on one of our social media channels. Feel free to print the information as a dart weight chart or select just a few players.

Darts the pros use by brand and weight

Using the available information you can see that the darts brands used by professionals is very varied with over 20 manufacturers featuring in the table. Yes some manufacturers feature heavily as they sign a number of professionals dart players to represent their brand, and some just have a few players on their books.

It should be noted that this changes from year to year as players gain or lose their professional status depending on their world rankings. For those looking for a median dart weight used by the 128 professionals, the average comes to 22.766 grams ,

The average weight of dart used by the professionals on tour may have an average weight close to 23g, the lightest dart used is by Boris Krcmar who uses a 16g dart. On the other end of the scale, the darts player using the heaviest dart is Ryan Searle who uses a whopping 32g dart.

Looking to buy darts of your favourite professional?

Looking to buy darts of your favourite pro, or darts that you have seen on TV because they might suit you? Take the following factors into account before buying:

1. Grip. The grip used by the pros in their matches will often have a slightly different structure to the darts sold in the shops. This is due to the fact that the players are always searching for perfection and will often have their manufacturer make slight alterations to the sets they use in matches.
2. Buying and using a particular weight of dart that you normally use and which differs from the weight the player uses. If you were to pick up a set of Ryan Searle darts in 23g because you like the look of the dart and Ryan is your favourite player you won’t actually be using “his” darts. The dimensions of the darts (length and width) will differ greatly from the 32g version Ryan throws and as such will be a completely different dart.
3. If all weights of the player dart have the same dimensions they will all react differently. In this instance only the weight used by the player will fly through the air in the same way they do for the pro. In order to achieve the same dimensions the factory needs to add or remove weight elsewhere. This is accomplished by altering the drill depth of the dart barrel and can be found at the rear of the dart where you screw in the shaft. For a lighter weight than the dart used by the pro, the drill depth will be significantly deeper than std weight or heavier versions. This drill depth affects the balance point of the darts and means that in order to achieve the same flight through the air you will need to change where you hold the dart.
