Why i use an older style dartboard!


Hi Guys

I received an email asking what kind of board i play on, so thought i would share en-masse.

I have used them all, Unicorn HD,  Winmau Blade 3 and 4 etc

and the borrd i use is...................................:





That's right a Winmau Masters board with with thicker wire and staples.

Now you may ask "why" i use one of these when there are new boards out with super fine razor wire??

The answer: Because this is the type of board the Legends used.

Think about it. The wire is thicker and inclusion of staples reduces the target area.  This means that you have to be more accurate and more focused about the target area.

Now come match time, when your playing on a blade 4 or Unicorn HD or other high end board with a technically larger target area it is going to pay dividends as your accuracy should be better and you have a bigger space to hit = win/win.

I have attached a link below to John Lowe discussing today's boards which inspired my decision:

Take care
