Ricardo Pietreczko's darts career hit new heights in October 2023 when he won the German Darts Championship. It was the German's first PDC ranking title and included impressive wins against former world champions Stephen Bunting, Michael van Gerwen and Peter Wright.

The man nicknamed 'Pikachu' won his PDC tour card at European Q-School at the start of 2022 and broke into the world's top 64 in September 2023. 

Ricardo Pietreczko & Precise 180

The darts Ricardo Pietreczko currently uses are his signature Precise 180 Ricardo Pietreczko Steel Tip Darts in 25g. These darts are made of 90% tungsten and feature a high-quality barrel with a precision-milled multi-directional grip. The Ricardo Pietreczko darts set is complete with signature German-themed accents and gold-coated points.

These darts come in Pietreczko’s preferred weight of 25g, as well as 21g and 23g, so they can suit a wider range of players. His signature darts are also available in soft tip form (18g and 20g).

Pikachu Flights

The Datadart Ricardo Pietreczko Dart Flights feature a similar branding to the Pokémon theme, which is a nod to his ‘Pikachu’ darts nickname. He was given this nickname earlier on in his career as a result of a translation mix-up during a tournament. His last name of Pietreczko was mistook by someone as Pikachu – a Pokémon character – and the ‘Pikachu’ nickname caught on from there.

His signature flights come in the popular Standard (No. 2) shape and are made of 150 microns, to provide his darts with extra resistance to wear and tear during matches. These flights come in three different colours (black, red and yellow), the same setup he uses on the PDC tour with three different coloured flights on his darts.
