Winmau Blade 5 and Blade6 Dual Core Bristle Dartboards

Got this board on sale, but definitely worth it! After doing a lot of research, this board is exactly what I need to play at home. The staple-less design has already saved my darts/floors. Glad it came with a short and sweet instruction booklet, learned a couple things and made hanging a breeze. Recommending to all my friends and family!

I've had my board for 2 years and it's just as good as new. I don't understand those negative reviews - this is a great board! Period!

How often can you spend less than $100 and buy the absolute BEST of anything. You can with the Winmau dartboards. This board is easy to mount, and has great density, with a certain solid sound when you dart lands that is very satisfying. Whether you're buying your first dartboard, or replacing a well worn dartboard this is the board to buy.

Looks and plays great. Dividers are narrow and tapered--have not yet had a single bounce out. I've heard shots strike metal multiple times, but just deflect into board. Two core bristle construction is very grippy, yet solid. Very nice board.Only quibble--single mounting screw in back means that board can rotate a bit over time, as darts are pulled. Have to realign occasionally.

I love everything about this dartboard but there is one tiny flaw is that the metal divider system the actual metal blades started to come forward on my dartboard so every once in awhile I have to double-check it and tap them back down not sure why they're pushing out of the dartboard but it's no big deal for me to TAP them back down it for the most part days put and they only come out a little bit other than that everything works great I've had this dartboard since June of 2020 so it's been almost 2 years you can take a look at my photos to see the condition of my dartboard I do keep it inside a wood cabinet although it is played outside but during rainy season it's taken off of its mount and brought where it's not going to get wet this dart board is used for nearly everyday during the summer time for multiple hours per day me and my family are hardcore Dart players I would not call us anywhere near professional but we play a lot and I myself can hit the bullseye when I need to and on occasion I can pull off 180s by getting the triple 20 3 times I took the leveling mounting system off of it because I mounted it into my cabinet the mounting was really easy although I do need a new cabinet hey you'll notice my calendar is pretty roughed up in the pictures overall I would buy this dartboard again and heartbeat also now there's a new model so if I ever need to replace mine I'll just get the new model the blade 6 triple core

We bought this board exactly a year ago to replace our old Unicorn board that we bought in Germany back in the 80s. This board has held up quite well, but in the past month we were getting a lot of bounce outs from any dart thrown inside the triple ring. If we try to push a dart into this area, it seems that it only goes in about 1/8 to 1/4 inch before it feels like you're trying to press it through a piece of wood.According to our dart scoring system that keeps our stats, we've thrown over 198,000 darts at the board during games. If we include warm-ups and training, that number is probably well over 200K.We have the board mounted out in our garage, so the dry desert heat may be contributing to the problem. However, we haven't seen any of the problems with the board falling apart like many of the 1 star reviews report.Reading other reviewer's comments about how great their previous boards were (Shot Bandit, Gladiator, etc), we checked out some of them, but those boards have 1 star reviews complaining about the same thing that the 1 star reviews for this board have. They complain about paying $79.99 for the board, but for us, that worked out to about .03 cents a game--seems like a reasonable cost for us. I guess you can't please all of the people all of the time.We're satisfied enough with this board that we're buying another to replace the current one.Likes:Mounting system -- keeps the board firmly in the cabinet and makes it easy to rotate on a regular basis.Thin/Razor wires -- few if any bounce-outs from hitting wires. They're starting to show some nicks, but those haven't affected play.Board Colors - Although most newer boards seem to have brighter/more vibrant coloring, this one was much easier on the eyes than our old Unicorn.Dislikes - none really. The only thing that would make this a perfect board would be to have a powerful rare earth magnet behind the trip 20 to suck my darts into there instead of the trip 1 :)

Bounce outs are very rare with this board. Mounting system is awesome, too.

Just received this board..looks and feels of great quality..only downfall is the packaging it comes in..a simple box big enough for the board itself..on the bottom 1/3 of this board ..the ring was pushed right into the board and deformed..like it took a pretty good shot in shipping..90 bucks isn't a ton of money..but it's a lot for a dart board..especially when it's received damaged...anything that gets shipped is gonna be treated poorly..how bout some better packaging please...

I'm not a professional, just play a few games everyday here and there.But so far the durability is fantastic.Holes aren't big when removed and the darts stick 99.9% of the time (an occasional bounce out happens, but it's usually from hitting another dart)Mounting was super easy too. Even the most basic "handy man" will be able to put this up.Overall it's a great product that has given me lots of fun and quality time with friends and family.Ps. Don't let other reviews deter you. Most are likely from arm chair athletes who think theyre pros and judging WAY to harshly.You're not going to regret the purchase of this board.I guar-annn-teeeee.

I replaced a 15 year old dartboard with the Winmau Blade 5, so it was pretty easy to give this 5 stars. Even without the comparison this is 5 stars. In fact I wish I could give it more stars.Everything about this board is amazing. The super thin wire is almost invisible. Not only have we played for hours without a bounce out, we've hardly wired any shots. We even created a new game called "Who can touch the wire with their throw." Couldn't do it.The thin wire makes double and triple sections look bigger. The colours are vibrant and perfectly set on the board.The 3 screw-in feet on the back wedge the board to the cabinet wall tightly so there is no spinning or shifting. It did take a bit of time to set each screw perfectly so that the board was evenly flush against the wall.I've added some pictures with split shots of my previous board and this one. Please don't make fun of me for having the oldest, crummiest board in the world, but you can see why I'm so happy with my new Winmau.If you are looking to upgrade, do yourself a favour and buy this now!

Was soll man sagen, Winmau Scheiben sind einfach gut. Löcher verschließen sich fast von selbst und es ist ein toller satter Sound beim Auftreffen der Pfeile. Die Justierung mit den drei Rädchen ist sehr durchdacht und macht die Scheibe bombenfest an der Wand. Einzig der Zahlenring mit den hässlichen Draht-Zahlen muss echt nicht sein. Der Triple-Core hat Winmau einen schönen Ring spendiert, dieser leider nicht. Ich habe den Ring durch einen anderen mit schönen Kunststoff-Zahlen ersetzt.

Was setting up my games room and added this dartboard. I knew the one that came with the cabinet would not be satisfactory. This board does not disappoint. It heals exceptionally well and there are almost zero bounce outs. It feels like the dart hist something very solid and yet soft enough to allow penetration. I have never been so happy with a dartboard purchase. This purchase being my 7th for various reasons over the years. I highly recommend this board for a games room, bar or tournament. I love it.

I own a Blade 4 for a few years then this Blade 5 Dual Core and don't get me wrong, it's a really really really good dartboard but I don't see any difference with a regular board which is not Dual Core. I don't think the more expensive price for a Dual Core is really needed. My next dartboard will not be a Dual Core unless this Dual Core will last me 20 years which I highly doubt.
