Now, you might be wondering what Dual Core could possibly mean for a dartboard. Well it’s not embedded with a microprocessor, if that’s what you’re thinking. We’ll clarify exactly what this means later on in the review, so keep reading. Staple-Free Bullseye: The Blade 5 Dual Core Dartboard features a staple-free bullseye, which reduces the chances of bounce-outs and eliminates the risk of hitting staples, ensuring a safer playing experience. Target Area and Numbering: The dartboard has a regulation-size target area with a diameter of 18 inches. The numbers are printed on the board with a high-contrast color scheme, making them easily visible for scoring. With that being said, today we’ll be reviewing the popular Winmau Blade 4 Dartboard (WB4), sharing our thoughts on how it weighs up to other dartboards on the market. Features of the Winmau Blade 4 Dartboard

The Dual Core is exactly what it sounds like—the dartboard is made from two cores or layers of sisal fibers. One longer and one shorter layer. Those layers have different characteristics and are designed to provide better experience playing, reduce bounce-outs, and improve the dartboard’s longevity. The Winmau Blade 4 is the result of decades-long experience and fine-tuning. Winmau has been designing and manufacturing some of the highest-quality dart products and accessories in the industry. Game Customization: The mobile app offers customization options, allowing you to tailor your dart games to your preferences. You can adjust settings such as game rules, difficulty levels, scoring systems, and even create your own game variations. The dartboard also has a removable number ring, which allows you to rotate the board regularly to increase its lifespan and distribute wear more evenly. Bulls Advantage 5.01 Dartboard Another top choice is the Unicorn Eclipse Pro, renowned for its professional-grade quality and accuracy. If you’re looking for a more budget-friendly option, the Viper Shot King offers good value for its sturdy construction and high-quality sisal surface.Although Unicorn dartboards can self-heal, when compared to Winmau dartboards, they seem inferior.

The Blade 4, for example, was one of the best long-lasting dartboards. Even today, there are darts players that have and play on their original Blade 4. If we compare Winmau vs. Unicorn dartboards, we will see that Winmau dartboards are made from higher quality sisal fibers. As a result, Winmau dartboards, compared to Unicorn dartboards, are more durable and longer-lasting. On average Winmau dartboards are more expensive than Unicorn dartboards. The wires used on the Blade 4 also have a triangular profile, which guides darts toward the scorable areas. This is in stark contrast to lesser boards which generally feature flat or round wiring, which tends to bounce wayward darts out of the board. Value Quiet Operation: The Gran Board 3 is designed to reduce noise, making it suitable for home use. Unlike traditional dartboards, which can be loud due to metal-tip darts hitting the board, the Gran Board 3’s soft-tip darts make significantly less noise when striking the surface.High Visibility: The dartboard has vibrant colors and clear markings, allowing for easy visibility of the scoring areas. The numbers and segments are well-defined, ensuring accurate scoring during games. The Target Darts World Champions dartboard is endorsed by professional players and meets tournament standards. It is made from high-quality sisal fibers, ensuring longevity and self-healing properties. Over the last several years the dartboards have advanced more than the previous fifty years prior. At the high end of the market sees the disappearance of round and triangle wired dartboards in favour of the blade divider. The advantages of this type of dartboard become glaringly obvious the first time you play on one. The blade dividers are designed to reduce the amount they obscure the scoring segments thus reduce of bounce outs. Blade boards require no pinning because the blade is cut straight into the sisal and gives a clean edge that doesn’t twist, unlike pinned wired boards. Most of the major manufacturers sell Blade construction dartboards but only one bears the name Blade and that is made by Winmau. Over the years I have played on most of the blade boards and reviewed each over time. So out of the bunch which one is best?
