WINMAU Blade 5 Professional Bristle Dartboard

Product Information

Consider the age range of the person you are buying the dartboard for. There are magnetic models for small children, which is a safe way to get them started with the game. Teens and adults would do best with a premium-grade sisal dartboard, as these are self-healing. The board just plays so well. The thuds from the darts hitting the board, the improved durability, the increased scoring areas, the lowered chances of bounce-outs, all that makes it very difficult to refuse to play just one more game on this dartboard. The staples are usually placed in the double and triple areas, which to me it seems like the worst place to put them. When it comes to playing darts, the dartboard is possibly the most important part that no player should ever compromise with. Buying a poor quality dartboard is the easiest way to lose interest in playing darts. One of the first blade dartboards to grace the UK was the Riley – The Eliminator Dartboard. Even today, it still looks the part, and I have personally owned several. They were a cut above the rest when they first became available. However, not all would give the endorsement it deserved.

This is the little brother of the Winmau Blade 5 Dual Core — but that does not mean it is not a good board. When it comes down to what type of a dartboard you should get, that would depend on your personal preferences. If you have gone through my list of the best dartboard above, you might have already caught on to some important details you need to look for. Aggressive throws are also not recommended even on a standard steel-tip dartboard. Cheap vs. Expensive Dartboards Additionally, the Winmau Blade 6 Triple Core dartboard has been introduced to the range, offering players an improved version of the Blade 6. This new dartboard features two additional layers, which enhances its durability and extends its lifespan. It also includes a special suspension system to ensure the board is always hung correctly. These enhancements make the Winmau Blade 6 Triple Core Dartboard an excellent option for those seeking a high-quality and reliable dartboard.This is not about just one type of a dartboard. Below you will find both steel tip and soft tip dartboards. Or bristle and electronic dartboards if you will. Finished with all-new graphics, and the world’s first laser cut anti-glare number ring for the ultimate playing experience.

One of the most important aspects to consider when choosing a dartboard is the board’s density and depth. As a dart board with good depth will help to ensure that darts penetrate deeper into the board and thus reduce bounce outs. Winmau offers a diverse range of dartboards that cater to different levels and price points. The professional-grade Winmau Blade 6 and Winmau Blade 6 Triple Core dartboards are more premium compared to the recreational dartboards. Recreational Level Winmau Dartboards The Dual Core dartboards are usually more expensive than the standard model and may be an excellent choice for some players.

Expert Reviews

If you’re looking for a bristle dartboard, the Unicorn Eclipse HD2 is what is most often used in professional tournaments.

The Triple Core Carbon features an all-new patented system with a seamless playing surface and a third, high compression layer, with carbon fibre reinforced sisal. The ultimate in dartboard construction, providing optimal fibre density, unrivalled dart retention and maximum scoring. It is no coincidence that Winmau darts and dartboards are some of the most popularly used one’s today. The bristle quality I have yet to try the new Unicorn Eclipse Ultra dartboard, so I can not give you a direct comparison other than the cost, which places the board at the top of the tree in this group. Overall this is a very high-quality dartboard capable of online play. It is great for players of all levels—best of all—it comes at a very reasonable price. Properly maintaining your dartboard by keeping it away from moisture and rotating it can make it last a really long time. How to Care for a Dartboard?Winmau's latest range of dartboards has been well-received, particularly the Winmau Blade 6, which has become extremely popular among players worldwide due to its outstanding quality and affordability. This has resulted in it becoming one of the highest selling dartboards on the international market.

The dartboard still features a Kenyan Sisal, which I find softer, less brittle and more durable. The softer facing sisal allows the dart point to penetrate deeply into the firmer sisal beneath, which alone reduces bounce outs and dead areas. However, Winmau has gone further by redesigning the blade wiring to make the sisal flow naturally into each high scoring area of the dartboard. The bullseye has also been redeveloped to eliminate dead areas that sometimes can be found on other boards. For beginners and recreational players, Winmau has a range of affordable options such as the Winmau Diamond Plus, and Winmau PRO SFB. These dartboards have round wiring, in contrast to the Blade wire found in the Blade 6 boards. The Aspar has a vibrant and enhanced colour scheme throughout the dartboard due to its multi-colour printing process offering a strong visual appearance consistently. Designed with the player in mind, the Aspar offers a modern and practical approach to the dartboard. Whether you are a beginner looking to improve your game or a professional player aiming to sharpen your skills, the Winmau Blade Champions Choice Dual Core training dartboard is an excellent tool to add to your arsenal. Dart boards can last as long as 5 years, depending on the quality of the dart board and how regularly you use it.

Another difference is the kind of darts used. Traditional dartboards are most commonly played with steel tip darts, while electronic boards use soft tip darts. As I have mentioned above, not all dartboards are created equal. And not all bristle fiber dartboards are going to have the same self-healing capabilities.
