Target Pro Tour DARTBOARD Review

[@WorldwideDarts]

*Dartboards at Dartshopper* www.dartshopper.com/dartboards/ (Don't forget the 8% off discount code dartshopper8)

[@oddbrawl]

Dartshopper is great! I personally want to thank you for introducing me to dartshopper! My wallet isn't so thankful haha.

[@daveyjones5702]

quick note: that code doesn't work for the .nl website. i think it's just for american shoppers.

[@hals9631]

Dartshopper are amazing. There was a shipping mistake made with my order (I had paid for express shipping and they’d initially used economy) and they fixed it in no time.

[@edwilmot3732]

I used the 8% discount code you suggested to buy a Blade5 dual core from dartshopper a couple weeks ago. Another great purchase experience with dartshopper. No longer carried by Darts corner or A180.

[@WorldwideDarts]

It's a shame that Darts Corner had a falling out with Winmau and Target. That only hurts us, the customer.

[@JuulsTrickShotChannel]

I've been using foam wedges to keep my one80 gladiator in place. Maybe the the unicorn unilock system look more practical 👌

[@PeyLawro]

Had a pro tour before I got my bulls 5.01 and it was superb. Looks like they have made the white segments brighter which I'm not a fan off as it looks more worn than it is, one I had they was quite dull but a great board

[@WorldwideDarts]

How's the 5.01? I've always wanted to review/try one of them.

[@PeyLawro]

@@WorldwideDarts personally the best board I have used from wear to it being a quiet board.... Although some people have had them where they have been rock hard

[@WorldwideDarts]

Good to know. Thanks. 👍

[@TheGeezer30]

Me ol' mucker with the reserve Dart-board... keeping it back for said reasons. That's when you know you're an anointed Dart-nerd. Nice one...!

[@ourdarts1573]

Only had the pro tour board once. It beat up pretty fast. Ended up giving it to my local pub for practicing on.

[@chrisgraves9430]

Had one for a while, nice board and not too noisy but wasn’t keen on the marbling across the segments either. Much nicer than the Unicorn for far better price

[@Csibu89]

its a weird product, but not really in a bad way, hear me out. in my opinion, most premium dartboards look and feel much nicer than this target pro tour dartboard does. most will have slimmer wires too. it looks as if it was made 5years ago, like a blade 4 or something, which is actually right as i don't think they put any innovation into it ever since. but, and its a huge but, as you can see, the bullseye is usually perfectly centered, the spider is just super evenly pushed into the board, with all segments looking exactly the same. the material is a harder one too, more like a harrows matchplay or a gladiator. not the super nice and soft blade5 kind of sizal, but after you broke it in, its perfect and holds up better. target i think realized that you gotto put effort to the right places, they didn't apply their super innovative approach to board manufacturing as they do to darts. they realized that with boards, they will always have a slight disadvantage compared to shot or winmau who are the true pioneers(shot being the successor of puma darts, the inventors of blade wires). so instead of trying to make the second or third best dartboard for a lot of money, they just approached it with their incredible attention to detail, but focusing on durability rather than innovation. and it is that, a good durable dartboard for not a lot of money. i loved mine.

[@WorldwideDarts]

Thanks for the comment. I agree with everything you said there. I was really surprised by the spider and how consistent the segments were. I've never seen that before on any other dartboard. Usually the segments are somewhat consistent on all boards but these were nearly perfect. I did check a few more segments off camera btw. No complaints overall. Especially for a $36 board after the discount code 👍🏻

[@Csibu89]

@@WorldwideDarts oh yeah, thx for that discount code btw, here in hungary we have the highest VAT in the world i think, so everything is much more expensive, and this dartshopper being in the EU, the postage is cheap, the prices are cheap, and we dont have to pay hungarian VAT, so its pretty much the cheapest option with our local shops included even with the postage fee. selection of products is pretty good too.

[@daveyjones5702]

hey maybe some time you could do a video on darts in america? the game seems to be gaining popularity, how is it doing, how does america relate to it, what tournaments are there, what's different from europe, has the game shown up on tv yet, etc etc. that kinda stuff.

[@WorldwideDarts]

-I do want to make a video about how different the darting culture is here in the USA. For example, look at the title of this clip... old.reddit.com/r/Darts/comments/nftlr9/my_first_ever_6bull_caught_on_video/ Here in the USA the go to game is cricket. When people think of darts the main game is cricket. So that means the lingo is too. So any time someone hits THREE bullseyes they call it 6 bulls because a bullseye is worth TWO in cricket. It's just totally different here. "Darts" is not the same thing here as it is in the UK or elsewhere.

[@daveyjones5702]

@@WorldwideDarts lol that's not easy on a european ear :P looking forward to that video, if you do end up making it :)

[@CapybaraMMA]

Unfortunately, last time I purchased from DartsShopper I paid for the 3-5 day shipping and it still took them 8 days to show up. my packages had also all been opened and messed with. Is this common or did I just have a bad experience? They also have no way to contact them so I was initially a little worried. But the darts came in yesterday and besides the tampered with packages they looked and flew great, got a set of Robins!

[@WorldwideDarts]

Sounds like it got hung up in customs? That can happen but it's exceedingly rare here in the USA. Also keep in mind that if you ordered around the Christmas holidays that shipping will be MUCH slower. Also, the virus surely isn't helping anything. My last two orders have shown up in two or 3 days here on the east coast USA with no issues at all.

[@CapybaraMMA]

@@WorldwideDarts must’ve been a combo or that, covid slowdowns, and the fact I’m on the West Coast. was so weird it said they went to Nashville, then back to France then straight to CA where I am. I think customs didn’t like the pointy objects or something haha.

[@danieljd6776]

Next up, the Target Elysian inspired dartboard, 1 of 500 for only $9,999.

[@daveyjones5702]

i love how dartshopper is making these things more doable in the US. i feel like darts could be quite big in the US, especially now that so many other sports seem to be committing suicide by getting too political. also, we made it into kind of a whacky circus out here, with the giant audiences and walk on rituals etc. and as we know americans like to push that kinda thing to the max, so i can't wait to see what you guys end up doing with it :P :D lol especially texas :P

[@WorldwideDarts]

Yep, Dartshopper is a game changer for us. One of the biggest issues with ordering from the UK is the time it takes for your stuff to show up. Now I can pay $8 and have my stuff in days. I can even buy large or heavy items and spend $17 for express shipping and have it in 2-3 days.

[@hassle04]

Does the back already have for the screws? Great review btw.

[@WorldwideDarts]

Yes, all pre drilled screw holes much like any other board. Very simple to set up 👍🏻

[@hassle04]

@@WorldwideDarts awesome, man. Been eyeing this board for some time. From Philippines. More power to you! 😁

I'm all for 10mm segments because I pretty much suck...just sayin

[@markleighton7321]

How come there is such a size difference in the different segments?

[@WorldwideDarts]

What do you mean Mark? Differences between companies?

[@markleighton7321]

@@WorldwideDarts Hi sorry I meant difference in the size of the segments of the board. Like the different width size of some of the doubles and some of the trebles. Hope that makes sense lol

[@AttfDiggs]

Great review and video. Just going to point out though, you can get the Blade 5 non dualcore with their mounting hardware cheaper than the Target + Unicorn unilock from Dartshopper. Still a nice looking board, and if you had a one80 Rotofix mount system (which I would like to see a review on BTW) already, then there is some savings to be had. Keep up the great work, always enjoy your vids.

[@WorldwideDarts]

Thanks Doug. Good shout. I was thinking in American prices for the Winmau boards. Currently $70 + tax on Amazon USA and the Dual Core is $92 +tax. So basically $100 for me to buy the B5 dual core. It's nice being able to try some different boards though. The next board I review will be the Mission Samurai II or the Bull's Advantage 5.01.

[@marcoweiss2307]

I get the point with the advantage but I personally would prefer to beat someone by playing better darts not by bigger targets 😀 Nice Board anyways though. Can’t make any mistakes on Target products 😊

[@WorldwideDarts]

Right, everyone wants to have the better skill but if you play online darts you have absolutely no control over the dartboard the opponent uses. But using your theory I'll go ahead and assume you play on an old round wire board from the 1990's since you don't want an advantage?

[@marcoweiss2307]

@@WorldwideDarts You got me. I meant I wouldn‘t buy it only because I would have an advantage. I play on a Blade 5 like most people online so that’s an even match 😊 Actually I didn‘t even know that there are so big differences. Thought they must be in a smaller tolerance.

[@texasdonut2957]

You can use NEWSLETTERSIGNUP as discount code. A sale section the Support thinks will be added somewhen but now they working on the new website

[@bwillij]

a good review of what looks like a shit product from Target,, i dont think it should even be called 'amateur tour' board,, i think i would hold fire and save for something better
