Steel-tip dartboards are just cheaper on average, so they are more affordable and easily obtained. While electronic dartboards are more expensive. The game of darts actually offers several benefits, including increased hand-eye coordination and improved concentration. Of course, the game is also fun and a great way to let off some steam after a busy day at work or school. As you search for the best dartboard, keep the following features in mind. Winmau dartboards are a little on the expensive side compared to the other bristle dartboards. However, this is to be expected from such high-quality dartboards. Professional dart players will prominently use bristle dart boards, such as the Unicorn Eclipse or Winmau Blade 5. Electronic dartboards usually offer different games and game variations, with some of the higher-quality being able to provide more than 170 game variations, including even handicap options for the better players.

But if you want to experience the real deal, you need to go with a steel-tip dartboard—there are no two opinions about that. So for a beginner I would suggest a good high-quality bristle (steel tip) dartboard. What Are Professional Dartboards Made out Of? We have all seen the Unicorn dartboards the pros play on in tournaments—but Winmau can also be seen in some tournaments. The Unicorn Eclipse Ultra was part of the new product range for 2022. It is at the top of the current Unicorn dartboard range and was the board of choice for the PDC endorsed until 2022. The Unicorn dartboard probably got more TV Coverage than any other dartboard on the market. The new numbers are highly visible, and the playing and wiring the best Unicorn offer. Unicorn also sells replacement high visibility metal number rings. Although the board looks superb on TV it may not be the best choice for everyone. As you have noticed, this board is touted as having two cores. But is that really that good of a feature? Well, it is. Here’s why.Conversely, Winmau dartboards may seem a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. With the higher price tag comes a higher-quality dartboard, which means better experience playing. Dart boards can last as long as 5 years, depending on the quality of the dart board and how regularly you use it.

The minimalist graphics around the dartboard ensure consistent focus on doubles. The symmetrical graphics enable rotation up to ten times without effecting the visual appearance, ensuring your board looks new every turn.

This also applies to your floor. Make sure to use some floor protection if necessary. What Is the Best Quality Dartboard? Not all the blade construction are endorsed by governing darts bodies, that is not to say these boards are lesser or inferior quality. Above are three dartboards that are as good as their endorsed partners. The three I have selected above are all blade construction, however, all three still show the paper or in some cases the plastic veins. The veins are caused by the dartboard construction process. A number of sisal ‘biscuits’ are compressed together to form a dartboard. Where the sisal ‘biscuit’s meet forms the vein. The number ring has been upgraded from the traditional system and offers a more subtle appearance on the dartboard. The numbers themselves have an updated font and are positioned so they always sit upright. 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. 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.

Soft tip darts are usually played from a different distance and in my experience they can be considered easier to master. Additionally, it has a handicap option which can allow beginners and advanced players to compete at better odds. Below I share with you more in-depth information about the differences between Winmau and Unicorn dartboards and everything that you should know about them. The second layer has a higher density, which gives the dartboard improved durability and longevity. On paper, Unicorn dartboards should make for an excellent choice. However, in reality, things seem a little different.The Gran Board 3 LED dartboard is one of the most sought after dartboards by people that are looking for a board with online play. With that being said, you can also play solo against a computer player. But you can also play against the computer — so even if you are all by yourself, you can still treat yourself to some neat competitive-feeling games. Sisal fibers are able to heal with time and provide a good surface in which the darts can penetrate well. Interestingly enough, the more a dartboard is played on, the better the self-healing is. How Much Do Dartboards Cost? 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.

The most widely used type of dartboards are the steel tip dartboards (or the bristle dartboards). Steel tip dartboards take steel tip darts. However, an electronic dartboard can offer a lot of neat features that you just cannot have on a steel tip dartboard. Of course, you don’t have to go for the most expensive ones like the Winmau Blade 5 Dual Core, as there are a lot more affordable options like the standard Winmau Blade 5. (See article: Winmau Blade 5 vs Blade 5 Dual Core) It does not have two cores, but it keeps the same blade 5 wiring, which is significantly thinner and has a sharper angle compared to the wiring of the blade 4 dartboards.The Viper Slash also includes ‘magnedart holsters’ that connect to the side of the board (see above), providing a useful storage space for your darts, when you’re not playing. If you ask us, we also think it looks pretty cool! When it comes to steel tip dartboards — read bristle dartboards — Winmau dartboards are currently second to none. And so is the case with this little fellow right here — the Blade 5 Dual Core.
