Wayne Mardle dartboard review of The Unicorn HD2 ECLIPSE

[@kieralexander]

Why does no one mention the outer doubles ring being flat in places?? You see it at major championships as well as in the video.. I’ve always thought the Unicorns look poor quality

[@Carlos.Radders]

They have one of these at my local club and Bulls eye is off center... Make the bull look oval shaped. The rest of it is really nice though and very quiet too. 👍

Wayne, I notice the Unicorn wording is rotated more over the 18 than the 20, and I'd always assume you'd get it dead centre, even if it's just to subconsciously have it to use when aiming at the 20, i.e. double 20 just below the middle of the 'Unicorn'. Do you prefer it also centre or doesn't it matter to you?

[@clintgalloway617]

You're supposed to rotate the board to make it last longer

Going to try one of these again.had the old eclipse years ago and it was shit.

This or Blade 5 dual Core ?

[@thrownchance]

standard Blade5 imho. Much more durability. I replaced these Unicorn boards every 3 months. The Winmau holds up about 12 months for me.

[@donjoh2758]

Blade 5 is harder board so last longer but the hd2 is much softer so feels better to play on in my opinion... hd2 looks better no debate about that one.

@Mother Algorithm I play about 1h per day. When I started playing about 5 years ago, I thought if the PDC plays on these boards they can't be too bad. And so I tried the Unicorn and the Target Pro Tour boards. Each was unusable after about 3 months. The Unicorn lost its spider wires and the Target field would bulge outwards at least 1cm. In my naivety I thought they had to be duds. So I bought a second board of each and the same thing happened. After I bought a One80 Gladiator 2, which was about 20€, I think and got about 6months out of it. And I began to read what people are recommending, and basically everywhere I was looking almost everyone recommended the Winmau Blade . So I tried it and I really was satisfied. A whole year use for the same price. So I used only Winmau boards for about 2 years and thought, might as well check if Unicorn has improved their quality. And they didn't. Still the same 3months use from a Unicorn board. So I honestly can't recomenend from personal experience anything else than a Winmau Blade or One80 Gladiator 2 for about the same use per €.

@@donjoh2758 the blade 5 duel core looks a lot better don.

@@winfield347 saying that the new dual core without the bdo sign looking well. Looks like they've used better ink too.
