What setup does The Nuke use in matches?
The Luke Littler darts setup differs slightly from the version sold. Luke Littler uses a new Target K-Flex all in one flight and shaft system which came out after his darts were released for sale. A key difference in his match setup is the 40mm dart points which are seen as very long in comparison to most points on the market. Luke uses some custom dart points and these are not available for general sale. Luke Littler’s match dart weighs 22g and is the weight he has used throughout his fledgling professional career.
It should be mentioned that Luke “The Nuke” briefly used the Target Swiss point technology which comes with the retail version of his darts. Unavailable on the market at that moment, Luke trialed a 40mm Swiss point made specifically for him. Due to Luke’s popularity the public desire to buy the 40mm Swiss points, Target Darts released them on general sale after Luke completed his trials.

Does Luke change darts?
Unlike someone like Peter Wright who changes dart setup more than most of us change socks, Luke Littler has had very few changes in his match darts. At the UK Open darts he did use the recently released Luke Littler loadout darts for the very first time:

Which darts final thoughts on the darts
Luke Littler is an immensely talented darts player who looks destined to reach heights unscaled by most in the world of darts. The Pixel grip on the drts is far too grippy for my personal preferences but you cannot argue that it certainly suits him. The addition of the loadout darts to the Target darts range is massive as it offers a very affordable alternative for his fans to buy and use. Retailing at half the price of his Gen 1 darts and coming with a more generic grip style, these darts are a great option for kids or beginners.
