Winmau Blade 5 and Blade 6 Bristle Dartboards

This is a really nice dart board! Would definitely recommend. It does not look/feel cheap. I only gave 4/5 starts for mounting system because the package did not include all the mounting supplies that it was supposed to...but I called the customer service number and they were very kind as to agree to send out the 6 missing pieces! Overall, very satisfied with the product and their customer service!

I got it as a gift for a friend who mentioned wanting a dart board. I ordered with enough time to have had it for 2 days beforehand. Did not receive it on time even with prime. Had two days of receiving delay in delivery messages. The day of I get a notification saying my package was damaged and would be issued a refund. So I had to reorder it and I did not receive the dartboard on time. The second time around I got it on time. Opened it and it is sturdy. Not too crazy about the colors but my friend was really excited. I did notice the points in white around the board was rather flimsy. The metal between colors won’t get in the way like I feared. The self heal seems to look good.

I really dont know what to look for in a dartboard other than 1) does it mount on the wall easily, 2) does it stay on the wall, 3) do darts go in, 4) can you read the score, and 5) do the darts come out undamaged. The answer is YES to all! MOUNTING - much easier than it may look as you just hang it and then use three turn dials to create pressure against the wall and the dartboard so the dartboard does not shift or move when playing. Pretty easy and looks professionally installed. STAYS ON WALL - weve used it quite a bit, and it has not shifted or moved at all. It has stayed perfectly in place. DARTS GO IN SMOOTH - No issues with darts on this board. They go in smooth and very limited bounces off of the wires because the wires are tapered to help the dart go into the board as opposed to bounce off. This is nice to protect my tile floor! SCORE READING IS GOOD, NOT PERFECT - the numbers are made in a wire which, as a novice, I do not have locations memorized. Sometimes it can be difficult to tell some numbers and it may make you pause to think. But its fine and manageable. DARTS COME OUT WITHOUT DAMAGE - while there appears to be some limited memory in the dartboard with some holes, overall they either fill back in or they just shrink a little. No real damage to the board and it seems to be holding up just fine. The darts are also not damaged and no issues with them dulling or bending. Overall, a solid board that you cant go wrong with!

Affordable board! Packaged well and came in great condition!

When they say self healing board they mean it. Our friends got a board so then we did of course!! We bought this one and you can’t even tell we use it a lot. Darts stick!!! Our friends board the dart pop out and it has holes everywhere. Very happy with the purchase.

Mounting was genius even though I invented the screw in shims back in 1989. I should have been a dart board. Engineer. Lol Great board. I have already played 30 games since it’s arrival and only had 2 bounce out.

Perfect gift for my dart throwing hubby! He was super excited to mount it to a custom made backboard but the Rota-Lock, triple wheel lock-and-level system was the icing on the cake! He was so impressed with all the features offered. I loved hearing him go on and on about awesome it was!

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.

I’m just finishing up building a workout/hangout room in my basement. I love to throw darts and I’m good enough to notice the difference between a cheap board and a good one. I started with one that was $20 cheaper and returned it before I even mounted it. This board is awesome. Clean, solid, easy to mount. Highly recommend

This is a QUALITY dart board and you will really like the way it is made with slender flat wires embedded, virtually eliminates darts bouncing off of the board. Also, numbers around perimeter are white and stand out well against the dark board.
