Luke Humphries Darts

Luke “Cool Hand” Humphries established himself at the top of the PDC game with a remarkable run of major wins over the last few years. He became PDC World Champion in January 2024, added the World Matchplay later that year and then won the Premier League title in 2025, completing the PDC Triple Crown.

Darts Corner has the ultimate Luke Humphries collection, stocked with darts across the TX1, TX4, TX5 and Prestige ranges, with variations in his preferred front-weighted, torpedo-style setup. These darts give players the choice to pick between different grip patterns, finishes and point systems, while keeping the compact feel associated with Luke’s signature equipment.

Luke Humphries currently uses the Red Dragon TX1 Switch Point darts in matches. These have a 90% tungsten torpedo barrel and are front-weighted, with a multi-ring grip. This matches his relaxed throwing style because the weight of the dart helps it fly smooth and straight. The medium grip also means that he can hold the dart securely but not too tightly. It’s this dart that helps reinforce the “Cool Hand” style he’s known for.

Humphries was born in Reading in February 1995, where his father gave him the name Luke as an acronym for “Leeds United, Kings of Europe”. His father played county darts for Berkshire, inspiring a young Cool Hand to throw his first darts, and he began playing competitively at around 15 years old.

After joining the Development Tour, Humphries won five titles in 2017, topping the Development Tour Order of Merit. This qualified him for the 2018 PDC World Darts Championship and earned him a PDC Tour Card for the 2018 and 2019 seasons. He went on to win a PDC Challenge Tour title in Event 12 and then added three more titles to his name during the 2018 Development Tour, once again topping the Order of Merit.

His career took a leap forward in 2023 when he grabbed victories at the World Grand Prix, Grand Slam of Darts and the Players Championship Finals, which set him up for what is hailed as the greatest 12 months in darts history. In 2024, Humphries defeated Luke Littler 7-4 to win the PDC World Championship, landing himself tournament prize money totalling £500,000.

After becoming the PDC World Champion, Humphries went on to compete in even more big games. He played the World Matchplay, World Cup of Darts and the Darts Premier League, soon establishing himself as one of the best players of this generation.

The TX1 should be your go-to if you want a set of darts that are closest to what Luke Humphries uses. These darts have a 90% tungsten torpedo barrel with a naturally front-weighted feel and mid-level grip, and are suited to players who prefer a compact dart profile and hold towards the front of the dart.

The TX4 is another 90% tungsten option with a torpedo-style barrel and a front-weighted profile. The difference between the TX4 and the TX1, besides the colour scheme and styling, is that the TX4 has a square-groove grip pattern, providing enhanced grip strength and feel. It’s a solid choice for players who still enjoy a compact dart but with an increased grip strength.

With the TX5, you can get the classic torpedo-style barrel that Humphries’ darts are known for, but with a hex milling grip so you can hold it more securely. It’s great if you want the front-weighted smooth flight, but want to feel it firmer in your fingers as you throw.

If you’re a big fan of Humphries’ World Championship win, the Prestige dart is the best set to celebrate it. It has his signature 90% tungsten, front-weighted torpedo barrel and milled grip, but is also finished with a gold ‘#1’ engraving. This is the go-to dart for Humphries fans.

Luke Humphries started playing darts competitively when he was around 15 years old. He began at county level, before progressing to a professional level at 22.

Luke Humphries was born in Reading, Berkshire and grew up in Newbury.

Luke Humphries’ walk-on song is Kaiser Chiefs’ “I Predict A Riot”, but it was previously “Cake by the Ocean” by DNCE. He switched it before the 2024 Premier League to get a bigger reaction from the crowd.
