Winmau Blade 5 and Blade 6 Bristle Dartboards

Very heavy well made dart board. I do see the cracks in the paint other reviewers complained about but they do not cause any issues with the game. In many of the reviews the cracks are visible and customers never mentioned them. Also, when looking at product pictures of item, cracks are visible, so it should not come as a surprise to customers. Looks very nice and is functional and attractive. Colors bright. We are thoroughly enjoying our game during quarantine!

I gave it as a gift to beginner family members. I didnt want darts bouncing back on them like in the old days, and this design definitely cuts way down on those wire rebounds. And suddenly everyone in my family is a darts enthusiast.

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!

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.

Likes: • Feels heavy and durable. • Bright colors. • No bounce-outs. • Booklet has useful info. Dislikes: • Because board is heavy, need to hang on sturdy wall. • Confused if needed leaf springs as shown in booklet; after some research they werent required because of Triple Wheel lock system

Excellent product!

Good board easy install. I like that I can turn it to a new area so we do not tear up the same ones.

The board hanging hardware make easy to install and works with uneven walls the steel rings are very narrow so not many bounce outs Good value for the money

Let me start by saying I used to be a diehard Unicorn consumer. Recently had 2 issues with their pro eclipse in a store as well as on amazon, just garbage craftsmanship as of late.... so I gave winmau a chance here and I am now a convert. Has the quality bristling and inlaid blading that I always expected from that other company. I pulled this board out of the box just wishing it would at least be a playable board for once and it surpassed my hopes. The bristles on the board are great and the density in which they are compressed is superb. I inspected the daylights out of the board and it was 99.9 percent flawless. It only had one small semi-bare spot on an outer single and was maybe the size of a dart tip. Other than that, perfection! Threw some test darts in the board and heard that sweet sound of a dart sinking into the board. Not a single bounce out, and thats with me deliberately tapping already placed darts with another throw. Even threw darts at the blades on purpose just to see how that would go. They all sheered off and right into the board, only one of the 12 I threw decided to fall out. Wire ring comes off easily to make regular board rotation a breeze. You all won me over with this board that should last me quite a while. Ditch your old so called competition quality boards and grab a Winmau, I did.

Im really enjoying this dartboard. I bought it as an upgrade from the cheap board Ive had for years and it really makes a difference. I would play for a couple of hours on my old board and always have half a dozen darts hit the wires and bounce out. I played on this one for an entire evening and had zero bounce-outs. As some other reviews have mentioned, mine wasnt 100% perfect as far as the surface being completely uniform and smooth, but there were only a few very small spots in the corners of sections that were a little bit off. The minor imperfections make no difference in how it plays, though, and from more than a few feet away you cant even tell. Overall, Im very happy with it.
