Winmau Blade 5 and Blade 6 Bristle Dartboards

I wanted a new board that could be used for soft and steel tipped darts. There werent many reviews that confirmed the use of soft tips but I can assure you this board works well with them. The mounting bracket is easy to align and the rear adjustment wheels are very well thought out. With a few twists, the board can be leveled in every direction to any wall surface. Once mounted, its very quiet. My family has thrown thousands of steel and soft tip darts at this board over the last month and theres no sign of wear at all. It still looks new.

This board is awesome. I hit so many more bulls now. Well maybe a couple more. The board is really awesome though compared to the regular wire divider boards. I used too get bounce outs all the time, maybe one in thirty throws. One time a bounce back hit my daughter in the arm. I have never had a bounce back with this board yet. Finally, my daughter is SAFE!

I have owned several blade 4s but decided to upgrade to the 5. got it today, pulled it out of the box to set it up and found that the board doesnt have the predrilled holes for the mounting feet. its not a huge problem i still have the old feet from my other boards but this is one of the reasons i went with the blade 5 over the 4. otherwise in good shape but the ring for the double bull is also not pressed properly into the board, its sticking out on one side, Ill try and knock it even with a hammer.

Board is flawless. Very few bounce outs and the holes seem almost always to fill themselves in. The installation system is also awesome as i had put a few other boards on before, but this one was very neat as it had a turn 3 knob system that poke out slightly from the board once onto the wall that allows to turn them to loosen/tighten to wall - extremely convenient and allowed me to install in just a few minutes and confident in the setup!

The board is perfect except for two things: 1. I feel the ring should be painted black (or unpainted) and the numbers white for easier reading. 2. The perforating screws holding the steel band around the outside interfere with my cabinet setup so I replaced them with screws with a flat top.

Dont buy the cheaper ones, this is a good one

Loving the new board but never seen a bristle board leave holes after pulling the darts out. We use steel tip darts and the holes do close up with a little massaging of the bristles. Other than that, the new thinner wire is awesome. Well see how well it holds up with everyday, multiple game use.

Excellent board. Top quality, with mounting hardware to sit vertically on any surface. Easy to rotate on the center mount, then move then number ring to get even wear.

Im really enjoying this dartboard. I bought it as an upgrade from the cheap board Ive had for years and it really makes a difference. I would play for a couple of hours on my old board and always have half a dozen darts hit the wires and bounce out. I played on this one for an entire evening and had zero bounce-outs. As some other reviews have mentioned, mine wasnt 100% perfect as far as the surface being completely uniform and smooth, but there were only a few very small spots in the corners of sections that were a little bit off. The minor imperfections make no difference in how it plays, though, and from more than a few feet away you cant even tell. Overall, Im very happy with it.

Really like the adjustable wheels instead of rubber bumpers on the back for a good, secure mount. However, the bullseye began to not hold darts very well after not too long of a period, I would say within 3 to 4 months. And believe me, though I do practice bulls quite a bit, its the area around the bull that gets hit the most. This was with about 30 minutes a night on average throwing at bulls (some times more, other times less, thats why I say on average). Overall I was disappointed in the durability given others reviews and recommendations. I had a aim 360 lasted a year before any issues. Rest of the board is/was greate aside from the bull.
