Throw your Darts Like a Pro!

If you want to throw like the pros and buy with confidence:

• Best overall bristle board (steel-tip): Winmau Blade 6 Triple Core — the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) uses Winmau boards at all events through 2027; the Blade 6 “Triple Core” is their flagship with superb sisal density, ultra-thin wiring, and an anti-glare number ring. Winmau

• Also excellent (pro look, fantastic visibility): Unicorn Eclipse Ultra 2.0 — very clean graphics and ultra-thin “Venom” spider reduce bounce-outs; a top-tier alternative long favored on TV stages.

• Great performance for less: ONE80 Gladiator 3+ — WDF-approved, high-grade sisal and pressed “sword edge” wiring at a friendlier price.

• Electronic (soft-tip) for parties and app play: Arachnid Cricket Pro 800 (arcade-style scoring, 39–40 games) or GRANBOARD 3s (Bluetooth board with a robust app/community).

• Regulation setup (steel-tip): center of bull at 5 feet 8 inches (1.73 m) from floor; throw line 7 feet 9.25 inches (2.37 m) from the front face of the board. Soft-tip throw is 8 feet (2.44 m) with the same height. Measure from the face, not the wall.

• Here are the Best boards and where they shine

• Winmau Blade 6 Triple Core — the gold standard

• The Triple Core adds a carbon-reinforced center layer and seamless surface, enhancing fibre density and dart retention. Its ultra-thin radial “Blade” wiring and anti-glare, laser-cut number ring keep the scoring area wide and readable, even under bright lights. If you play league, host a competitive pub night, or just want the “tour” feeling at home, start here. 

• Who it’s for: players chasing a professional feel, pubs prioritizing bounce-out reduction and long life.

• Good to know: Rotate the board regularly to spread wear; the number ring comes off for easy rotation. (Also true of other premium bristle boards.)

• ​

• Unicorn Eclipse Ultra 2.0 — ultra-clean stage visuals

• Long known for TV-friendly, distraction-free graphics, the Eclipse Ultra line focuses on ultra-thin, anti-glare spider and high-contrast printing that makes doubles and trebles “pop.” If you value a crisp, broadcast look and consistently clean bed entry, this is an outstanding board.

• Who it’s for: players who love a clear sight picture; venues with bright lighting.

• ​

• ONE80 Gladiator 3+: tournament DNA at a low price

• The Gladiator 3+ uses top-grade Kenyan sisal with “sword edge” wiring and staple-free construction. It’s WDF approved, tough, and consistently praised as a “workhorse” that takes a pounding without looking tired. For bars, clubs, and budget-minded home throwers who still want premium playability, it’s a sweet spot.

• Who it’s for: cost-conscious players and venues that still want pro-spec bounce-out performance.

• ​

• Other solid bristle options

• Target Aspar — modernized graphics and symmetrical design so rotations look consistent. Opinions are mixed on longevity, but value can be strong when discounted.

• Nodor SupaWire 2 — classic, ADO-endorsed board with staple-free bull and solid self-healing; a reliable pub choice.

• Viper Razorback/Dead-On — budget-friendly sisal boards from GLD/ Viper; great for a starter setup or casual bar lanes.

• ​

• Electronic & soft-tip boards 

• ​

• The Cricket Pro 800 blends durability (NylonTough™ segments), micro-thin dividers to reduce bounce-outs, and a 15.5-inch regulation target with dozens of built-in games. It’s a bar favorite: clear LED scoring supports up to eight players and makes league formats painless. If you want plug-and-play party energy with real game depth, this is the safe pick.

• Best for: bars and family rooms that want scoring to “just work.”

• ​

• GRANBOARD 3s: app-first online play & smart lighting

• ​

• If you prefer phone-first scoring, online matches, and frequent software updates, GRANBOARD 3s is the app-connected darling. Quiet throws, configurable LEDs, Chromecast-friendly visuals, and a strong community make it the “digital native” of soft-tip. This is the board you buy if you like competing with friends (or strangers) around the world from your home oche. 

• Best for: online match play and tech-forward home setups.

• Soft-tip setup reminder: mount height is still 5' 8" to bull, but the oche is 8' from the board face. 

• Why these:

• Blade 6 Triple Core is the pro standard for major events (PDC partner), with carbon-reinforced density and anti-glare hardware. 

• Eclipse Ultra 2.0 refines the clean, TV-friendly look with a super-thin spider. 

• Gladiator 3+ offers WDF-approved construction and excellent longevity per dollar.

• Target Aspar gets you modern aesthetics and a rotation-friendly face at a mid-tier price.

• Nodor SupaWire 2 is ADO-endorsed, with a staple-free bull and solid self-healing.

• Arachnid Cricket Pro 800 is the plug-and-play party board with proven durability and easy scoring.

• GRANBOARD 3s is best for online play, mobile scoring, and quiet throws.

• Viper Dead-On is a fair, low-cost on-ramp to sisal.
