About Jonny Clayton

Jonny "The Ferret" Clayton is a Welsh professional darts player who competes in Professional Darts Corporation events. Clayton has won some of the biggest titles in the sport, including the Premier League and the World Cup of Darts alongside fellow Welshman Gerwyn Price.

Clayton played rugby in his youth before becoming a full time professional darts player, although not to the same level as his World Cup winning teammate Price. His nickname, "The Ferret", originated during his rugby days as a scrum half, where his small stature and energetic playing style reminded teammates of the animal.

Interestingly, Clayton's first language is Welsh, with English being his second language. His infectious personality, trademark finger point celebration and ability to produce huge checkouts under pressure have all helped make him one of the most popular players on the professional circuit.

What Darts Does Jonny Clayton Use?

Jonny Clayton currently uses his Hiraeth darts in a 22g weight, paired with his personalised Nitro flights, developed in collaboration with Red Dragon Darts. The Hiraeth darts feature one of the most recognisable barrel designs on the professional circuit and have recently been updated to include Switch Point technology.

Jonny has spent the majority of his professional career using variations of this barrel shape, demonstrating his confidence in a setup that complements his natural throwing action. The weighted front design encourages the darts to sit upright in the dartboard, making it easier to group subsequent darts closely together and maximise scoring potential.

Their clean profile and balanced feel have made them a popular choice among players looking for a simple yet highly effective dart setup.

Why Choose Jonny Clayton Darts?

One of the most noticeable elements of Jonny Clayton’s darts is the distinctive tapered barrel design. The barrel gradually narrows towards the point, creating the iconic shape that has become synonymous with "The Ferret".

This design helps reduce deflections and bounce outs by allowing darts to pass one another more easily when grouped closely together. Combined with Jonny’s preferred 41mm dart points, the setup further reduces the likelihood of unwanted deflections.

Jonny has often likened his darts to javelins, with the tapered barrel and kite shaped flights helping to create a smooth and controlled flight path. Another advantage of the range is the grip profile, which covers a large proportion of the barrel, making the darts suitable for both front and rear grippers.

With multiple generations, barrel designs and grip patterns available, the Jonny Clayton range caters for almost every type of player, from beginners through to experienced competitors.
