About James Wade

James Wade is one of the most successful English darts players of the modern era and has enjoyed a remarkable career across both the BDO and PDC. With more than 10 major televised titles to his name, Wade has firmly established himself as one of the all time greats of the sport.

One of the defining moments of his career came on his Premier League debut when he defeated Phil Taylor during Taylor’s famous 44 match unbeaten run, immediately proving that he could compete with the very best players in the world.

Known as "The Machine", Wade earned his nickname through his incredible consistency. Across more than two decades at the highest level, he has changed very little about his game, maintaining the same smooth throwing action, stance and barrel setup that have become synonymous with his success.

Away from the oche, Wade is often viewed as an intense competitor, although fellow professionals regularly describe him as one of the friendliest players on the circuit. He has also spoken openly about living with bipolar disorder and the pressures of professional darts, including the demands of constant travel and the challenges players can face away from the stage. His honesty, resilience and achievements have helped cement his place as one of the sport's true icons.

What Darts Does James Wade Use?

James Wade currently plays with his signature Unicorn Premier darts in a 20g weight, a setup that has remained remarkably consistent for more than 20 years. The straight barrel has become the defining feature of "The Machine" and reflects the consistency that has characterised his entire career.

Around a decade ago, Wade made a subtle adjustment by introducing a micro ring grip to the rear of the barrel while keeping the overall profile and feel almost identical. The barrel features an even grip pattern that allows James to spread his fingers naturally across the dart, perfectly complementing his smooth and repeatable throwing action.

He completes his setup with short stems and his signature Unicorn flights, both of which have changed very little throughout his professional career. The result is a simple, proven setup that has helped James Wade remain one of the most consistent performers in modern darts.
