Devon Petersen has blazed a trail for African darts and is a popular player on the circuit. Nicknamed ‘The African Warrior’, his charisma and entertaining walk-on dance routines have earned him a legion of fans. Born in Mitchell’s Plain, Cape Town, Petersen was introduced to darts by his father George and in his younger years would practice the game for hours after school with his friends in a small garage.

The South African-born thrower has been competing on the professional circuit since 2009. One of his earliest big stage appearances came at the 2009 South African Masters, in Johannesburg, and he was given a set of darts by the legendary Phil Taylor, which he started to throw with.

Petersen won a tour card at Q-School in 2015 to join the professionals on the PDC tour, and a year later made the decision to relocate to the UK. He based himself in Bradford, but his football allegiance is with Liverpool and comes from his childhood growing up in South Africa. He told the Heart and Hand Podcast: “Our house was Liverpool. There was no chance of me supporting another team and I’m so glad I did. There was a small handful of Liverpool fans at our school as well.”

He made history for his continent when he became the first African player to win a PDC ranking title, picking up the German Darts Championship crown on the European Tour in 2020. Shop our Devon Petersen signature darts and flights collection here!

Devon Petersen Darts

A popular set from the Devon Petersen Shot darts range is The Greatness dart. These darts were designed in close collaboration with ‘The African Warrior’ and are made of 90% tungsten with a black titanium coating and gold PCT accents on the barrels.

The missile-shaped barrel has a double shark grip nose with added grooves to help players have a consistent finger position when holding the dart. The centre section of the barrel includes a signature Iklwa grip with deeply milled motifs to create a circle of spears, which provides a superior control and effortless release during play.

This collection of Devon Petersen darts for sale are available in both steel tip and soft tip, so there will be something to suit the preferences of many different players. Explore Darts Corner’s entire selection of steel tip and soft tip darts to find a set that matches up with your own style.

Flights by The African Warrior

The Devon Petersen flights on this page come in various different designs and shapes and have been made in collaboration with Condor. These flights are part of the Condor Axe range which offer players unprecedented elasticity and durability, with these flights maintaining a perfect 90-degree angle.

The Condor Axe flight and stem integrated system is made of a special premium resin material and gives players several benefits. The flight and stem are already connected together and will not separate from each other during play, whilst the materials used means less breakage when the darts collide with each other.
