Winmau Blade 5 and Blade 6 Bristle Dartboards

I upgraded from an old Viper board. I looked at the Unicorn Eclipse Pro after playing on one, but the reviews were not very encouraging. The Winmau Blade 4 has excellent reviews and the 5 is an advanced version so i figured i couldnt go wrong. This board is fantastic. Besides the increased playing area with the 60 degree wire and the resulting decrease in bounce outs, the center mounting makes rotating the board a breeze an the levelling feet make sure you have a nice tight fit to the wall. I put nearly 500 darts in this board the first day I mounted it and had 0 bounce outs.

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.

This dartboard was delivered quickly. It mounts easily and looks great. The position adjustment knobs mean no wiggle, perfect alignment. The thin wires mean no annoying bounce-back (a problem I had with my previous Unicorn). This is a sturdy, well-designed board. Couldnt be better.

The product rarely allows bounce outs. It mounts like most standard boards and looks clean. It is an upgrade from cheaper boards for sure.

Everything about this is perfect just wish the wire numbers werent so cheap looking for price paid. Other than that its a great board.

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.

Self healing. Sturdy. Good quality. Great for a casual play board in the garage.

Wow! It’s a beauty! I love this board and I have only owned it for three hours. The darts hold perfectly into the quality sisal. The spider is well designed. The colors pop and when the darts fly they look awesome in the air against the backdrop. I almost bought the dual core but this one should last and serve me well. I have no complaints. It comes with the mounting kit and the rota-lock system is a feature that makes mounting the board simple and perfect!

Once I decided to upgrade my dart board the search was on to find the best option. The blade 5 was recommended on many forums and the reviews here reiterated that. The features I am most impressed with is the seamless wire design. There are no staples or anything else in the cork. The other, and my favorite feature, is the stabilizers. These three feet keep the board secure. With my last board I would have to push in the board to remove the darts. This board is so much more stable. Its a small thing, but makes a big difference. I am recommending this board to anyone looking to upgrade.

I’ve been using the blade 5 for some time now. Decided to order one for our team through Amazon even though some reviews were mixed. The price was $15 cheaper than the dart website I use and Amazon’s return process is one of the easiest so I went this route. Great board and will be coming back for my next one
