Winmau Blade 5 and Blade 6 Bristle Dartboards

Some of the numbers overlap a number on the board and that makes it confusing at times... otherwise, its a good board.

Blade 5 is a beautiful DB. Pleasing to the eye. Mounted it on smooth quality plywood as its background foundation and bought 4 sets of quality 22g steel tip darts. DB is made of very high quality material. Withstands the hardest throws easily without damage or notice. Craftsmanship seems flawless. It receives many compliments and zero criticism in the 2mos we have been playing. We purchased an app online for 1.99 and the app compliments the DB perfectly for hours of fun without calculating scores. BLADE 5 IS FLAWLESS & TRULY OUTSTANDING, ENJOY!

This is my fifth Winmau dartboard I’ve purchased and it’s the worst I’ve ever gotten. I couldn’t wait til my new board came in, but after unpacking the board I noticed it was put together very poor, it’s not round, the number wire was bent, they have permanent scuff marks on the black, the metal going around board that holds it together is way off of where it suppose to be. I initially wanted the newest blade 6, but since it took two months to come in, I bought the older blade 6 and was going to use that til the newest one came in. Very glad I didn’t order it, I definitely will consider other brands to buy instead of winmau. I referred everyone I know to get a winmau, but now I have to tell them how unsatisfied I am. I may put up my old blade 5 and play on it til I find another brand to order.

Did hours of review study on Amazon and I’m Glad I spent the extra to get this board. Dense and quiet, self healing and easy to install. I blacked out the words around the outside of the board as well as the white metal ring in between the numbers, helped the numbers to pop out. No darts, bought 22oz, $18 darts on Amazon and they go well together.

Less bounce outs than the Dual Core. My last two boards werte Dual Core and its good to have the original Blade 5. Noticably less bounce outs. Winmau supposedly came up with the dual core to prevent bounce outs? It did make me buy a new board sooner than really needed. They must have had two reasons. Winmau is still by far the best board.

Really like the blade design. The thin blades keep the darts in the dartboard instead of on the floor on close to the line throws. Like the rotational ability of the scoring ring so the board doesnt wear out on popular scoring zones 20, 19 etc.

Wow, this thing is serious. Its replacing a $30 knockoff version I got from a box store. That older one was exactly like the one I learned to play darts on 30 years ago so I didnt think it was terrible, but I had no idea how dartboards have advanced. A wire bounce caused a dart to narrowly miss my wifes foot so I looked into one with thinner wires and found this. Its not even remotely close to the same thing at all. I mean, its a dartboard, but theres no way anything is bouncing off of the literal blades that separate the scoring areas on this thing. Its also quite an upgrade in board material. The sound of the dart hitting is quieter and a good bit more solid and the holes disappear almost instantly once the dart is removed. All in all, best dartboard ever.

Well built product. Heavy, sturdy, and beautiful. I cant speak about other negative reviews, from my experience, can honestly say only great things about this product. Dont know where it was made, but it was, made well.

Really like the adjustable wheels instead of rubber bumpers on the back for a good, secure mount. However, the bullseye began to not hold darts very well after not too long of a period, I would say within 3 to 4 months. And believe me, though I do practice bulls quite a bit, its the area around the bull that gets hit the most. This was with about 30 minutes a night on average throwing at bulls (some times more, other times less, thats why I say on average). Overall I was disappointed in the durability given others reviews and recommendations. I had a aim 360 lasted a year before any issues. Rest of the board is/was greate aside from the bull.

I LOVE THIS BOARD. I am so happy I did my homework and spent a little more than my cheap butt was going to spend. This is a phenomenal board. The darts go in nice and deep and the holes can be rubbed out. The board itself is heavy, solid. Hanging it was easy and I love the adjustable screws on the back that stabilize it against the wall. I am now completely addicted.
