Excellent value My relationship with Unicorn is now in its 36th year. It’s been a tremendous journey. The Lowys feel like family to me. They have looked after me splendidly, I have to say over so many years.” Although the problems with the lower-end Unicorn darts are well-known, this article focuses on dartboards, so I will be focusing on Unicorn dartboards in particular. Used in the PDC The Dual Core is exactly what it sounds like—the dartboard is made from two cores or layers of sisal fibers. One longer and one shorter layer. Those layers have different characteristics and are designed to provide better experience playing, reduce bounce-outs, and improve the dartboard’s longevity. However, let’s not forget that Unicorn is among the biggest shareholders in the PDC, which does give them a bit of leverage, so to speak.

Conversely, Winmau dartboards may seem a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. With the higher price tag comes a higher-quality dartboard, which means better experience playing. On paper, Unicorn dartboards should make for an excellent choice. However, in reality, things seem a little different. Still, you wouldn’t know that on first look and, given the price, you can always upgrade to a more durable buy once you know this is the sport for you, or you have the money to do so. For those after an authentic dartboard on a budget, there is nothing better. This makes Winmau dartboards one of the best dartboards when it comes to self-healing capabilities.

Decathlon offers a unique range of traditional dart boards as well as modern electronic boards. It is important to choose the correct kind of dartboard that fit your needs. Traditional dart boards can be manufactured from sisal fibre or synthetic fibre; some boards are made from hemp cork. Many players prefer fibre dartboards, the darts being less likely to bounce off. Dartboards are also made from tightly coiled paper and the most expensive ones use bristle. Sometimes adverse weather conditions and industrial action may limit the services provided to us by Royal Mail or Couriers - please note that we cannot be held responsible for delays caused by external companies** The Blade 4, for example, was one of the best long-lasting dartboards. Even today, there are darts players that have and play on their original Blade 4. Considering the calibre of its build, the Blade 6 offers some of the best value at a price still affordable to most people. Unicorn dartboards are not bad dartboards per se. Unfortunately, most of the Unicorn’s dartboard aspects are hit and miss and mediocre at best.

If you have been playing darts for a while, you will know that Unicorn is well-known for its quality control problems. All international deliveries will be sent using Royal Mail with the exception of heavy items such as dartboards, these will be shipped using a reputable delivery service such as DPD or DHL. We have all seen the Unicorn dartboards the pros play on in tournaments—but Winmau can also be seen in some tournaments. What does a triple-core design add to your experience? Well, greater layers of sisal fibres have been proven to reduce bounce-outs of your darts, increase overall durability, and make your throws quieter to boot. This Winmau Blade 6’s three layers of tightly wound sisal fibres are further reinforced with a carbon fibre base too, meaning those fibres are even less likely to be ripped out. Add in ultra-thin wiring and an anti-glare number ring, and there are no excuses for not getting some double and triple scores.Number ring: Every dartboard has a number ring – otherwise you wouldn’t be able to play – however some allow you to remove or rotate it. This feature is usually reserved for bristle boards, as removing the number ring allows you to rotate the board, spreading the wear and tear of the sisal fibres on frequently targeted zones, like treble twenty.
