Winmau Blade 5 and Blade 6 Bristle Dartboards

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.

old board had lots of metal caging surrounding numbers and bull which led to bounce outs......this board is awesome.....leveling discs in rear are perfect

So nice to play on a real dartboard again. Hits are solid. No bounce-outs. The spider is extremely thin. I cannot complain one bit about this board. Setup was incredibly easy with the roto-lock leveling feet. Turning them until they stop on the backboard levels the board and holds it tight. I saw a review complaining about the sisal coming out with the darts. The only way that could happen is if you dont pull your dart out the same angle it went in. And I mean really off-angle. If you are like me: tired of soft touch boards and crappy electronics, get back to basics with a pro-level board. Spend a little extra for the quality. You wont be sorry.

The Blade 5 is an awesome board for the most part BUT at least for me, hasnt held up too well. Im starting to get a lot of bounce outs and even fall outs from any darts that dont enter really solidly. Like when you might not be in top form and your dart comes in at less than full speed and totally straight on etc. It feels like the back layer of sisal has gotten really hard, maybe about 1/4 deep or less from the surface. This pic shows the wear from 6 months of pretty heavy quarantine use...Id say an hour a day averaged out over that time. I was pretty careful with it too in regards to keeping my points burr free. At the end of the day, I think Id only recommend this to you if you told me that you were a casual/infrequent shooter that would keep it a very climate controlled environment (as I sometimes wonder if the salty air where I live has been a factor)? Im gonna try the Dual Core version of this board when I replace it (which will be any day now as Im getting frustrated with the whole thing).

So far this is one tough board. Decent healing characteristics with very few bounce outs.. Solid adjustable mounting system allowing perfect leveling on even or uneven surfaces. Bright, brilliant coloring with nice graphics. Strong steel bright white easy to see number ring. We are impressed with the quality and presentation of this board.

This is the real deal. It is very heavy- which means it is quality. One of the best boards at this price point. It does not come with darts, for this board I recommend Ignat Steel Tip Darts. It does come with mounting hardware. Its cool because you can install the mount on the wall and take the board on and off. I store the board and bring it out when I have friends over. It is easy to just put it up on the mount and take it right off. I hang a picture over the mount when the board is down but it really isnt too big, doesnt need to be covered up. I highly recommend this board, I waited to write this review until I used it for 4 months. 4 Months in and it is still going strong. I spent many hours shopping all the dart boards and this is the one.

Great board. I had a lenghty review bu theamazon app deleted my review as I was adding a photo of the board. So now I will keep my review simple. Great board, tight construction and its built to last. I will replace it when the Blade 6 comes out. I also bought the wall mounted dart storage to go with it. Great set up. Many hours of fun between my family and guests. Dont go plastic and electronic. Go real steel and real bristle boards. Real darts need to be kept away from children ;)

My previous board would bouce darts back if you ever hit the wire. Nearly 2-3% of darts I threw would bounce out. Now my board NEVER bounces my darts out of play. every dart scores. I thank you. My wife thanks you. My cat thanks you. Lastly, but not least, my floor thanks you!

Holds darts easily, good quality board, easy to set up. Got the thin wire one and really like it over the traditional large wire dividers.

Was looking for a new dartboard for the family room, and actually took a bit of time and did some research before purchasing, and I could not be happier. The board was in perfect shape upon arrival (no discolorations, holes, etc.) and set-up via the mount and Winmau lock system was a breeze. Have thrown at this a few thousand times already and holes seem to close right back up. The Spider seems firmly attached and the thickness of the wires is spot on in eliminating bounce backs.
