Pros:

• Premium professional tournament board (PDC endorsed)
• Triple-density core for best-in-class dart retention
• Thinner wires than previous models - reduced bounce-outs
• Long lifespan with regular rotation (2-5 years)
• Industry standard - widely available replacement parts
• Available as bundle with surround for better value

Cons:

• Premium price point
• Slightly thicker wires than Shot Bandit (but thinner than most competitors)

Verdict:

The gold standard dartboard used in professional PDC tournaments. Professional quality and reliability. The best all-around choice for serious players.

Pros:

• Softer feel during play - more forgiving on impact
• Premium Madagascan sisal with excellent self-healing
• 60% thinner wire system than traditional boards
• WDF approved competition standard
• Innovative 36XTEN rotational number ring (10 rotations at 36° each)
• Peak-Fix mounting system works on uneven walls

Cons:

• Small number ring - harder to read from distance

Verdict:

Good quality board with a softer feel that some players prefer. The thinner wire system reduces bounce-outs, and the premium sisal holds up well. Just be aware the number ring is smaller than most boards.

Pros:

• Thinnest wires on the market - absolute fewest bounce-outs
• Excellent sisal fiber construction
• Great durability

Cons:

• Janky plastic mounting system - requires modification
• You'll likely need to stuff socks or padding behind it for stability
• Installation frustration negates some of the quality benefits

Verdict:

Excellent board with the thinnest wires available, but the mounting system is weird and janky. Worth it if you can tolerate some mounting issues and DIY solutions (bring socks).

Pros:

• Budget-friendly without sacrificing quality
• Staple-free bullseye reduces bounce-outs in the center
• Great value for money - punches above its price point
• Perfect for practice boards or beginners

Cons:

• Wire system not as refined as Blade 6 or Shot Bandit
• May show wear faster than premium boards
• Not tournament-grade specs

Verdict:

Excellent budget board that's still a quality product. Don't let the price fool you - this is a legit dartboard, just without the premium refinements.
