Got mine a few weeks ago. Made a plywood back to it, so I can hook it up just the same way as my steel tip.

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Good idea :)

[@SuperToughnut]

With the app, has anyone noticed the sound kind of sounds distorted? I'm using my samsung 8+.

[@doctorchuck6737]

Thanks for the review Darren, I liked the dash. Soft tip darts was good to get into when I was loosing interest in steel tip. The app animations were so old school - made me feel like I was back at the old ten pin bowling.

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Thanks mate, its good fun :)

[@futbol1972]

iam building a cabinet to box the gran 3s board. Will it be a good idea to use home depot foam cover with pool table felt to protect the darts from maybe bending or breaking when missing dart board? Right now I have that foam with pool table felt behind my bristle dartboard and it works very good and also looks good. However I don't know if I will be needing this for the soft tip darts?

[@gavwilliams722]

Hi, can you recommend the best soft tip board for least bounce outs? And one that has a built in screen too, the best screen you've used.

[@DartsReviewChannel]

I only know of the Nexus that has a built in screen

[@mitchellal1285]

Awesome review! Thanks What's the update on the it after further use? Is it worth the buy?

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Thanks! I no longer have it but its a good board if you are into soft tip but I think the full Granboard is probably the better buy but if on a tighter budget the Dash is worth a go.

Hy, thanks for the review, I just got this dartboard for my xmas. Which darts would you recommend to buy to play on this ? The darts with the box are kind of cheap and only 9/10g, but I wouldn't want to destroy the board with some heavier darts. Thanks for your advice

[@DartsReviewChannel]

I think they say the limit is 18g

[@iphilou9023]

Just received this as a gift thank you for the review.

[@DartsReviewChannel]

No problem! :)

[@harpoon_bakery162]

Thanks for your video! What does the GRANBOARD 3 or GRAN BOARD 3 cost and where do i get it? Some online shops have ridiculous prices for this unit. I really need this unit due to its quietness. i have been threatened by another occupant that if it's loud, it's gotta go. I have to be so careful with the sound but I also need to have the lights and pageantry of the GRAN BOARD 3 unit.

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Not sure where the best place is now but there was some suggestions on the forum here: www.dartsnutz.net/forum/showthread.php?tid=34837

[@zl6521]

Great review!! The Gran Board 3 is definitely the way to go though. Much stronger, and quieter. My wife and I play all the time.

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Thanks ZL, glad to hear your enjoying it :)

Hi Darren, great review as always Mate. Just wondering if you have located those Harrows Axis darts I asked you about last week? Cheers Paul

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Thanks mate! I have had a look in a few more boxes but not seen them I am beginning to think it may not have been Axis I had but the other one that I think Justin Pipe used, think it was Apex but not seen those either yet lol

When you play say 301 etc is there a option where u don't have to finish on a double?

From memory I think there is, but been a while since I last played on it and the software often gets updated.

[@lachz0564]

Am thinking of getting a new dart what would you recommend was the best out of the Adrian Lewis Gen3 or the Adrian Lewis pixel grip 23 or the Wayne mardel gen 1 ?

[@krismckechnie4477]

Greta review. I don't know a lot around the rules of soft tip but noticed you had a couple of bounce outs and the score still registered. Is that within the rules or do you have to change that manually?

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Yeah I thats normal, a bit silly but thats just the way it is.

[@BYGTraining]

It's so funny to me that you think that, Darren. I always thought it was unfair that in steel tip a dart that hit its target but bounced out would NOT count. Nevermind "Robin hood" shots not counting. That's the equipment fucking up, not the player. One of the great advantages of soft top is that it records the accuracy of your throw even when the board or your own equipment fucks up through no fault of your own. I think you guys tend to think of soft tip as "fake steel tip", but if you view it as a game unto itself you'll find that it's a fine game and actually has some advantages over steel tip (disadvantages too!). I personally don't think either one is better, I like them both in different ways for different reasons 😎

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Yeah that's a good point but the steel tip rules say it only scores if the point is touching the bed but guess that's the only way to know with steel tip. But to me soft tip can be good fun and in many ways its still darts just another version :)

[@theshed1037]

Played soft tip once in hong Kong while drunk , was defeated by someone who never picked up a dart before ! Immediately retired from soft tip game.. Great review mate , don't let the nutters get you down

[@little_brat.]

Haha! It means you weren't drunk enough!

[@DartsReviewChannel]

LOL not sure what that would be like playing it drunk with all those animations and noises lol!!! Cheers! :)

[@COL321]

The board did well withstanding those hefty darts (and your pretty hefty throw!). Good review, thanks!

[@DartsReviewChannel]

LOL cheers! :)

[@robertshadbolt3056]

Interesting. Is the player base fairly big? I'd love to get into soft tip darts.

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Yeah its quite big on the gran boards :)

Not a Dash, but do have a Gran Board 2. Will be setting up a Nexus very soon however.

It looks fun. I played soft tip for years. I dislike the floppy darts and the noisy boards. So much more soothing on the bristle boards.

[@toothbrushdaze]

Please review the new Shot Bandit Duro board :D , it looks dead good! !!!!!

[@DartsReviewChannel]

[@Boom12]

I always liked GranBoards, this one looks nice and compact. Almost like this soft tip board I got from a Decathlon sports shop which was pretty flimsy at the similar dimensions. Great review Darren! Just a shame this board doesn't do well with heavy darts :/ I can't use them Beatons on it.

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Thanks mate, yeah I think 18g is probably the safest to use but 20g may be the limit.

[@futbol1972]

thank you I finally ordered the gran 3s board. I also ordered 3 viper 20g darts and 3 viper 18gr darts. Do you think the 20g will be to heavy for this board? With the bristle board that I have when we play we kindda throw soft since steel tip darts stick pretty good. Don't know how we will be throwing with the plastic board

[@TheBryans005]

Whats the biggest difference between the Dash and Gran board 3 or 3s?? Thanks

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Not sure as only had the Dash, my guess is its just a better constructed board thats more robust, but it may have other features too that the Dash does not have such as the flashing coloured LEDs.

[@mattpjsmith]

The 3s is better built and also has lovely led lighting. 🙂

[@GabeJohnson91]

I believe the 3 and 3s have replaceable parts as well, whereas if the Dash doesn't.

[@JackWHU]

Do you have a Nexus as well? If so, would you say this board is louder?

[@DartsReviewChannel]

I dont have either now, all soft tips are loud but Nexus probably a little less so

[@JackWHU]

@@DartsReviewChannel Thanks for the quick response, I have a nexus which is loud, so if this is louder maybe I'll give it a miss lol ! Thanks again

[@DartsReviewChannel]

@@JackWHU They are all kind of loud anyway, but I think some people modify them in ways to make them quieter but I think to get a really quiet one you need something more solid like the Hi Darts board

[@JoeShitTheRagMan_GravelGurdy]

I'm considering buying this or the 3s. I don't know if the 3s is worth it really

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Well the higher models have more features but you can still play darts pretty much the same so I guess it depends how serious you are going to be with playing online etc :)

[@JoeShitTheRagMan_GravelGurdy]

@@DartsReviewChannel From what I understand, the only things that stands out with the 3s is LEDs, easier to repair and maybe a bit quieter. Maybe I've missed something?

[@DartsReviewChannel]

@@JoeShitTheRagMan_GravelGurdy Some people said the dash did not wear as well and I think at the time it was missing some other feature of the 3s but forget what. I think for most though the dash is probably more than good enough.

Nice board, i maybe buy one myself. Maily playing steeldart but sometimes i wan't to play softtip. Thanks for the video Darren!

Guess it depends on what you like, Gran Board still has one of the bigger online networks but the Nexus is growing and the Hi Darts probably is the best construction but the cost will vary from around £200 to £320 if I remember rightly.
