Target Aspar Dartboard Review

[@ronaldallanporras2221]

Love the fact that when you rotate the board it's not going to look odd with the logos in different angles (It does bother me especially if it's my board), but definitely going to be a good experience playing on it. The numbers shouldn't be a problem for darts enthusiasts as we already know where the segments are really unless they switch the numbers around then that would really be a problem. I think the board looks good, not as exciting looking as a traditional one with big colorful graphics but I think in the long run the changes will be more appreciated. Thanks for the review man!

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Yeah I agree with that, will feel strange to many at first but overall I think it's a idea, thanks for watching 👍

[@bestpeter78]

Numbers is the best things on this hard dartboard with plenty of marks after few days...

[@andrewwickstead3802]

This is a lovely looking board,love the simplicity of how it looks and not shouting out at you…… could be my next board!!!

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Seems opinion will be divided on the number ring but I said it would be the case :)

[@joehodgson9595]

I like the graphics, how they are not intrusive and that they are symetrical. I also like the number ring, but I would like the numbers a bit bigger. I wish more companies would take on these ideas. As far as changes to a dart board goes, I see this as a giant leap forward. No other company doing symetrical logo's or always vertical number ring. Those are two big changes in one board. Great job Target on innovation. Not sure if it will hold up against a Winmau blade 5 DC, but we will see I guess.

[@DartsReviewChannel]

I think Target read a lot of the feedback in forums and social media and many have mentioned about logos and how they hate when they are not the right way once you rotate, so this certainly solves that. Does look neater but I dont mind the numbers being small but I also dont care if they are bigger, could be less of a visual distraction overall though which I think is the purpose :) As for Winmau B5 DC I have my reservations on them now, they are great for a while and then go all lumpy, at least two I have had have done that.

[@joehodgson9595]

@@DartsReviewChannel looking forward to see how this one wears, I will be buying a new board once I see how this one holds up. Thanks for the videos, you do a great job.

[@ranvedsticon2304]

Another great detailed review :) Number ring is awesome, it would probably get some time getting used to but I think it's one of those things you once get used to you don't know how you did without them. Not crazy about thousand logos and model names but really like how small the font is and how they don't poke in the eye. Definitely improvement over some fonts on boards out there. Would probably be the most happiest with two logos on top and down in that font and I'll survive the lack of symmetry.

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Thanks mate! yeah I am already used to it, its become something I dont even think about now but to me it does feel like there is more focus on the scoring area so can only be a good thing in the end :)

[@andyproctor3588]

The board is super Vivid very strong and color I like that I like also that when you rotate it it don't look weird but that number ring is awesome everything is even looks good and not upside down already can tell that's going to be my next board

[@JonnyImpreza]

Great review, you’re my favourite darts reviewer on KZbin. I really like the look of this new Target board… the modern number ring and the logos are a great idea and they look great -I’m a “traditionalist” though and love old-style number rings, even though I know that this modern take on it makes more sense -figure that one out 😂

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Thanks Jon, very kind of you to say so :) Yeah I think lots will still prefer to remain traditional, nothing wrong with that of course, its just a number ring after all, wont make me play any better lol :)

[@scottgabriele1215]

I like the overall clean look of the board, although I think the graphics need to pop a little more like on other HD boards currently on the market. The price seems right on given some of the minor imperfections you pointed out, but the real test will always be the boards durability over time. You commented on the quietness of the board, does it have adjustment wheels on the back to level the face of the board? Great review as usually, looking forward to the follow up, this item was one of my favorite items released, I’m glad you reviewed it 1st.

[@DartsReviewChannel]

The idea is to make the logos less popping, as its meant to keep it subdued to keep focus on scoring area :) No wheels just standard stuff as shown in video but surprisingly they rubber feet seemed to be keeping the board very stable and flat, may be I just put them in right for once lol! Thanks! :)

[@LoveDarts]

Love the fly flick 😂 board looks neat!

[@DartsReviewChannel]

That fly had been bugging me for a while and the cheeky little bugger landed on my head and just sat there, think I killed it then :)

[@BYGTraining]

I've never in my life thought about how the numbers on a normal board rotate with the segments, but now that I've seen this I realize how weird that is. This is way better, especially for novice players who don't know where the numbers are without looking. I'd have to say that I agree with some of the commenters that the numbers and logos could be a bit bigger. Not for clarity, though, just to make them look more visually even in size with the rest of the board. Tiny numbers next to big single and double segments feels off to me, but that just my subjective opinion.

[@DartsReviewChannel]

I think its one of them things, it wont look right to many until you get used to it :)

[@LukeT84]

I think £50 for a board is a bargain. I am not Unicorns biggest fan but if you pay around £90 for their board and get a year out of it, you are looking at 24p per day to play on it. I was very surprised when Target made this £50. I will be getting one. I hate turning my board for the first time so this kinda solves my OCD problem.

[@DartsReviewChannel]

It is and boards are a lot more costly to make than darts I was told so they are sold cheaper than they should be anyway. I had a very long talk with the guy in charge at One80 darts a few years ago he said then that the real price of a board should be £80 to £100 but because of the battle with Winmau and Unicorn in previous years they kept competing on prices to win the market so the public take it as a given a board should be a set price. Its not that simple when you learn about it all.

[@juggieboy]

i really think this is a sexy dartboard . really love the ring i think i would buy one . try it if i dont like it i really keep the number ring for blade 6 that is going to come .

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Yeah I guess you can swap the ring over, shouldn't be a problem

[@marcelschiffner7217]

Great looking Board, i think i will give a chance. Thanks for the review.

[@DartsReviewChannel]

[@brianhutchison1788]

Another, unbiased informative review. Thanks Darren. Not keen on the look of this board tbh: looks cheap with the plastic number ring. Personally prefer older boards. I liked my Blade 4 & 5 but feel newer boards are too tightly compacted & darts don't go in as well. Have recently bought Nodor boards from the late 70s - 80s in really good condition: much prefer the colours, the simple graphics, the traditional number ring & the way the darts go in with a softer sound. I don't even mind the staples & the bounce outs 😉 x

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Thanks Brian! :) The number ring is no real issue with me, its just an aesthetic thing more than anything, it looks neat but I would not be bothered if it was a normal ring. The board itself I have found does not heal holes well at all, but after playing with it for a while I have found I actually prefer throwing at it due to its firmness, sounds more pleasant to play on than the B6TCC and from the oche I dont notice the holes so much lol But like I often say the firmness of the board will have likes and dislikes, some prefer a soft board and others a hard board, the Aspar is probably leaning towards been too hard for most though but for me the B6TCC is too soft once its broken in. I have an old 1978 Winmau board that is fairly soft but still seems quieter than the new B6 so go figure :)

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Thanks 😊 I thunk that too lol😁

[@mattierara]

Great video! I know plenty of people who don't rotate their boards at all or only when they really have to because of the whole logo thing. This board is going to last a whole lot longer for a lot of people. It won't be long until Unicorn do something similar in response. I personally like the number ring, but it's not difficult to put an old one on instead. As for the 'killer' comment. We always used an old board for that sort of thing.

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Thanks Mattie! :) Its crazy that people wont rotate for such a reason though lol

[@philforrester4142]

Great video as usual does the board look as clear and bright in normal lighting cheers phil

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Thanks, its probably better as my studio lights can make it more washy

[@jakamneziak]

the number ring change has an unexpected issue. During a game of 'killer' where any section counts. The 'holes' in the 8, 6, 0 and 9 all count as a target. you dont get that with this monocot chassic number ring. The logos for me woudl also be more distracting having ten of them on the board than just 1 upside down.

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Yes it's not going to work with some games like that

[@mattierara]

I think the logo thing is something you'd get used to and not as distracting as when you rotate the older boards and the big logos have changed position.

Thanks Wayne, think the wires are actually thinner, its a little hard to be sure but seems so to me, dont think I have a B5 to check now though :)

[@KiteBear]

@@DartsReviewChannel Thanks Darren good to know this looks like a great dartboard It will no dought be way over priced when it lands here in Canada. As the price to ship a dartboard to Canada from the UK is more often than not more than the price of the board. I know I was looking to get a Mission Samurai II a while back and they are reasonably priced boards around 30Q and it was going to cost me 45Q to ship it to Canada. so 75Q exchanged to Canadin $ 128.30 Just too much to pay for a dartboard. I think theses boards are closer to 70Q to buy in the first place.

[@jaydoyle7380]

Hi Darren, I really like a firm board. This one seems extremely firm. I had a one80 gladiator 3+ and that was lovely and firm but lots of glue left on the points even when hitting the middle of large sections does this board have an issue like that? Also the wires in some areas don't look completely straight which doesn't sit right with me. Any idea if target fixed that issue because if there's no glue all over the segments (not visable until you remove the dart and see the point is covered in glue) and the wires are nice and straight this might just be the board I'm looking for. Also are the treble segments ever so slightly bigger than the blade 6 boards?

[@DartsReviewChannel]

It is a firm board, I think with boards though it's a bit of a lottery you either get a good one or you don't, I have seen plenty that look fine and some not so good. Segment size is around the same, not much difference if any.

[@tomg3833]

The numbers and logos thing is a nice feature but nothing more than a gimmick. I've never heard a serious player complain about logos being upside down! What matters is that the board itself is quality and durable. Could you do a follow up video after a few weeks/months of use?

[@DartsReviewChannel]

You need to read more social media then lol its something I have heard many complain about over the years that they hate the logos being upside down when rotated, never bothered me personally though, but thats why Target have done it they obviously read the feedback too. As mentioned in video I said it depends on how it wears etc so as I said in video I will not rotate it until I have done 20 hours on the board then I will do an update, after that will do normal rotation and update in further months. Think people should rotate it more regularly but I want to give it a proper test with normal use, but will do a more intensive test on one area as I cant play as much as some people do due to various aches and pains, not going to go crazy and use aggressive points though :) I think it helps if people post their feedback on here too, some play a lot of hours daily so they are likely to get more wear and useful feedback quicker than I will.

The number ring is horrible imo. I prefer the traditional number ring simply because I usually sand it down and custom spraypaint it. I own a gold one, a black one with gold numbers, a metallic blue one, a metallic bright red one, a neon yellow and a neon green one and am always looking forward to test another colour whenever I buy a new board. Can´t see myself getting used to this plastic/nylon one anytime soon. Qualitywise the new Target board doesn´t convince me, seems like a newer version of the Tour Pro. My top 3 still is 1) Shot Bandit Duro, 2) Mission Samurai II and 3) One80 Gladiator 3+. The Tour Pro disappointed in terms of durability and I guess it will be no different with this one from Target.

Mine was terrible. Imperfections all over and bounce outs galore... Like throwing at concrete! Garbage!

[@mrmods7912]

This is nothing like the one they use in the seniors!! Quality is night and day

All the Target boards i've played on previously have been dreadful

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Cant really say as I think this is my first. Got a Target Pro Tour years ago and never got round to using it and sent that to a friend in Canada, cost more to send it than the board was to buy!

Awful number ring

[@DartsReviewChannel]

lol you are the person I mention that wont like it then :)

[@piotrkamienowski3737]

Numbers on ring are toooo small

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Do you need big numbers, my eyesight is terrible and I can see it ok from oche?

[@piotrkamienowski3737]

@@DartsReviewChannel its my opinion... I would like to have bigger ones, it could be more clear and.. ergonomic... I play sometimes with my brother in law, he has veeeeery small exp in darts and for him sometimes to see very fast the number is problem, so thats why i mentioned it...

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Yeah like I said in video some won't like it but can see what you mean.

Horrible board. I have a blade 6 single core. Although, a lot softer than the Aspar. The quality of the Blade 6 is 10x better. I bought an Aspar. Out of the box. There is color bleeding, missing sisal, and bent wires. How did my board pass quality control??? Not to mention the horrible self healing, if there is any...

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Should have returned it really

[@jakubolchowy6071]

Honestly nothing really special, not a lot of new things.

[@richardlewis1936]

It’s a dartboard, how many new things can there be?

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Not really just number ring and graphics, not sure what else but we cant see inside it to tell :)
