Reddit mentions: The best dartboards

Is it this board that you're talking about?

They use this board at the pub next to my work. I play on it during my breaks and after work. It's a good board, held up pretty well, and its easily going into a year of use at the pub.

I'd recommend it over the Viper board. IMHO, you can't go wrong with Winmau or Unicorn dartboards. They're all great quality boards for the range and pricing.

edit: at only $10 more than the Viper board, Its a steal. Get this one if you're looking at a board in this price range.

Right now Amazon has an incredible board on sale. Check it out HERE

Probably the best board you could buy in the USA right now. You could also check out the Winmau Blade 4 or Blade 5 on Amazon. You could compare the prices on Amazon to A-Z Darts in California. They have free shipping on boards so that helps.

But if you decide to buy some darts make sure you ask about that too. Darts in the USA are grossly overpriced. You can buy awesome darts from the UK for pennies on the dollar

Code Wikibuy30 gets you Cricket Pro 800 or Amazon for like $230. Pretty sure this is the best you will get in that range.

Hi folks -

​

u/chuckdeezoo beat me to this question for the day... and instead of creating a new post, I'll just piggyback... or perhaps Robin hood onto his topic. ;-)

​

So the question I have and perhaps, this might help u/chuckdeezoo also...

​

What's the better way to go for Winmau boards? The standard Blade 5 or the Dual Core Blade 5?

​

Winmau Blade 5 is on sale for $65 (US)

​

The Winmau Blade 5 Dual Core is $89 (US)

​

Any thoughts on the difference?

​

Thanks!!

My buddy and I were also experiencing the same problem. Ended up getting a blade 5 and viper surround from Amazon. I can't recommend them enough.

However, if you don't have the means (or patience) to save money and wait to get a board, I almost bought one of these:
Use the force

The only downside, is the color scheme isn't traditional.
But from what i've heard...they are pretty decent.

Another option is the Viper boards on Amazon Meh!

Although...if you are going to spend $35...you might as well spend $60 and not have to replace for a while longer.

Do yourself a favor - Winner Winner

Does your husband need a board and surround as well ? If not the stand alone is £45

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gorilla-Stands-Unisexs-Dartboard-96x15x14/dp/B00I7P2IU0/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=gorilla+darts+stand&qid=1574079943&sprefix=gorilla+darts+&sr=8-1

It's what I used to use. Great stand to be fair.

I've had the same idea before but it ends but being more convoluted to be honest. I bought the darts scorer linked below which does exactly that, and it's not very good. You really are better just entering the score.

Looks great!

I highly recommend upgrading to a Blade 5 (or v4) dartboard though. I can see that the spider (metal wires that divide the board into segments (for anyone not familiar) is starting to lift up around the bullseye. This leads to more bounce outs. Once you go with a Blade, it's tough to go back to a the older style boards.

Amazon Prime, two day free shipping:

Professional Quality Dartboard

Darts that are more than good enough for the average player.

If you have Amazon Prime that will be shipped to you in two days for a total of $80.

If you want to get nicer darts but have them by this weekend, you'll have to order from AZ Darts, link in the sidebar.

I use a dartboard in a cabinet, which is mounted onto a plywood board mounted on the wall.

It works pretty good, but I worry about noise, so I try to limit it to times where it's okay to play loud music.

Trying trick shots (2-4x at a time) can get really loud if they don't stick, with all of the clanging.


Also, you are pretty limited with distances.

I throw these

Whack up the board with a surround, then just fill in the wall at the end! That's what me and my housemates did, and whenever the landlord came round hide the board with a mirror. Simple work!

​

However, I'm sure something like this - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gorilla-Portable-Dartboard-Professional-Lifetime/dp/B00I7P2IU0/ref=asc_df_B00I7P2IU0/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=214529524006&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3220163538891576364&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1006476&hvtargid=pla-360299262144&psc=1&th=1&psc=1 would work fine.

Thanks! I bought a Gladiator II board and those red dragon darts. I was going to get the blade5, but this seemed like a really good deal on the gladiator. Obviously not great darts, but I will use the scoreboard I suppose.

Viper Razorback isn't bad if your looking to save some bucks:

I wouldn't go with anything that have wires that are stapled on, personal preference, but there's no need for it these days. Not sure what you're looking at spending, but you can't go wrong with a Razor IV. But if you just want to toss around a few on a decent board, the link I sent should be ok for a more modest budget

Oh, sorry, I have a Blade 4 already, but I'm looking for a half size double half size treble board.

Something like this.

Same on amazon as well. Picked one up last night.

There’s bound to be Black Friday deals on something over the next 2 days...so far there’s this One80 Gladiator II for $45, and I read somewhere that the Winmau Blade 5 was $28 last year during Black Friday??

Hold out for just a bit, it could be worth ur while

Winmau Diamonds all the way.

Cheap but you've still got the bevelled edges which really make a difference.

£25 on Amazon

I have a unicorn Striker board, which is more than enough for my (casual) darting-needs

As for darts, it depends on how heavy you like your darts, but I have one set of 21g darts and one set of 23g darts, each for about 20$, with extra flights included

Two choices. The G3 $64 shipped from A-Z or someone is selling a G2'S package, board, white board darts, on amazon for $39. G2s can be found on amazon for $54.

A drill! So very practical of me.

Or how about a dart board

Probably a plastic soft tip set - http://www.amazon.com/Viper-Bull-Blaster-Soft-Dartboard/dp/B00022P0UQ - otherwise having it inside seems like an awful idea, plus the whole, having the point go through his mouth
