[@alexpollington5337]

Have to say one80 should be higher. Its lasted longer than the winmau blade 5 dual core I had and I like the colours on it.

[@AlfieDrew_14]

would u recommend as a first board?

[@alexpollington5337]

​@@AlfieDrew_14absolutely fella go for it

[@partymilano]

@@AlfieDrew_14 I can recommend it. It's one of the most durable dartboards on the market.

[@christor2907]

My last board was the One80 and newer one is BULLS Advantage... I have to say, how you have the BULLs above the One80 is beyond my comprehension. Maybe you have a loopy throw to get loads of bounce outs? I have a Medium power throw i'd say, quite flat, no looping but darts land at maybe 15-25 degrees off of flat but im not power throwing them in and i nevergot many bounce outs with the One80... The wires are flush with nice angles that prevented a lot of bounce outs, the board is hard, but that makes it wear really well if you use sharp, smooth tips and I only even had a dart drop out occationally if left sat in the baord for hours after if the dart was left in a treble bed, which seem a bit harder than the main beds. BULLS for me is just a worse board all around. More bounce outs, wears faster, worse wires... and yet almost double the price. (Won't be buying again) I havent used a lot of these boards so can't fully comment but I think you are undervaluing the One80. Have used winmau boards before and had issues with their double and triples wearing quickly and used Unicorn eclipses at pubs and they all seemed to be a pile of crap but then it is a pub so.

[@Will97G]

Got my local to buy a Target Aspar for our League nights, definitely hard but I love it and it looks great, only an issue if you have a weak throw that drops the dart in flight

[@jeffreycaban5107]

Great review here with valid points on each. I do feel that the Gladiator 3 should be rated higher. Have one for the last 3 years and wearing extremely well. Also recently purchased a Bull's 5.01 Advantage and like it as much as the Gladiator. Flush wires, excellent Bulls Ring, and as you stated very bright. Hopefully it holds up as well as the One80. Keep up your great work.

[@highjim7778]

G3 is by far the best board Ive used. The blade 6 looks like its been ripped to shreds on TV very quickly.

[@leonardhunter1717]

Thxs for great advice - I opted for a blade 6 - great board - good colours - nice lines between borders - holds light and heavy darts - but have to remember to pull darts out with other hand or it starts to hurt my throwing hand - sharp lines!!!

[@shredder9536]

Did you get the pro one

[@LoveDarts]

Think I’d agree with them pretty much. Though the last one I’d drop lower as a home board it was so soft. Better options for the price!

[@rossistfc]

Helpful vid, looking to buy first board and the highest rated one is the winmau diamond plus. Is this a good shout?

[@MaxPower417]

Understand not wanting to go through all the Blade iterations but any comment on the thoughts out there that the Blade 5 and 6 are very similar in terms of performance?

[@peteratherton897]

Don’t agree with your opinion on the Gladiator 3+, I’ve had blade 6 dual core and triple core and a couple of the pricier unicorn eclipse boards, the Gladiator 3+ is easily the best board, if I had the money to buy a board tomorrow, I’d buy the Gladiator 3+ again, no hesitation, it’s all subjective I suppose, just reckon you’re way out with your opinion on the Gladiator 3+

[@BernaHenriques]

As some people already said the G3+ should be higher. Solid board if not God tier. The shot board is too high for me as well. The only thing God tier thing about the eclipse ultra is the number ring. I bought it separately to use it with the B6 DC and the G3+ and for me that is the ideal setup. The new mission board seems to be really good but I can't see myself using anything other than the B6. The rotalocks are that good

[@LukeT84]

I've used every board out there. I like to play on a fresh board so it's an expensive hobby for me. I really like the ASPAR because it saves me money. However, I have found myself sticking with the Unicorn Eclipse Ultra. It's the best looking board out there and I have been really impressed with how it's holding up. Was never a big fan of Unicorn and I am not saying it's the best board out there but it doesn't get the credit it deserves.

[@rusinaseppo7474]

Eclipse Ultra looks good from the box, but paint is very thin and holes won't heal automatically. Otherwise it's quite good but expensive. Numberring is great.

[@user-cv7ey6fb4c]

I sugfest use higher quality photos and such, especially if you plan to zoom on anything. Thanks for video, love review

[@frankgoebbels3683]

the bulls advantage 5.01 and the shot bandit is exact the same board from puma darts New Zealand only the colors where diffrent.

[@melissawilliams7238]

Jeesh! Thank you! The first three videos I tried to listen to all had computerized non-human AI narrators! Appreciate you taking the time to make this video.

[@bdpc-dk2xb]

Yeah it’s hard to find good Darts content on KZbin, I’m thankful for people like darts referee

[@gibbos1985]

I just bought a shot duro because I was disappointed with my winmau Blade 6. The sisal seems to have shrunk a little and it's all wire now. Get lots of bounce outs from hitting wire. I've seen reviews saying the Bandit Duro is a lot flatter and really good quality, can't wait to try it out.

[@craigtomlinson2075]

I agree about the Blade 6. Pass on it!

[@NaimadLoL]

I have a Winmau Blade 5 Dual Core since 2018, ofc it looks used but it still works totally fine. I only dislike the numbers ring design. I thought about buying a Blade 6 soon.

[@lukep4146]

How is the one80 not bad, it is miles better than the new mission board

[@TheDartsReferee]

Not even close to the new mission one

[@flyingscotsmang-zbkh489]

I totally agree with Luke but It’s all just opinions at the end of the day

[@mrmods7912]

The mission infinity destroys the one80

[@jaysonarocha]

The Alien dartboard by Dart World is awesome. I'm on my second one because I have a friend that wanted a board so I sold him my 5 year old 👽 board and bought a brand new one. They last 10yrs+ indoors and I had mine in the rain and sun for 5 years and there is a lot of life left.

[@jon_because]

I have the unicorn pro 2 and it is a hard board based on the sound and darts don't go in too far but almost never get a bounce out or fall out and it's lasted a very long time with little visible damage.

[@Hi-el4zy]

My dad gave me a unicorn striker 😢

[@bertrompa]

Thanks allot this was the review i needed to change my winmau blade 3 classic one :D even this is a very very good board its a bit moist and its bursting out of his skin ;) what about the winmau blade normal and blade 6 double core?

[@jamesankers8328]

i reckon the aspar is come down in price due to some new relaeses in the next few days from target! you should also try a datadart elite 2.0, great board

[@alanmillership1339]

Aspar I had a couple of weeks ago was like throwing at concrete. I've had the samurai 2 and Blade 5s. Didn't really like either. Got a Blade 6 triple core from argos for £62 2 weeks ago. I love it so far. Changed from aggressive points to fairly normal ones and its perfect for me.

[@rikardo2480]

So how do you like blade 6..thinking of buying it i also had an aspar and i dont realy like it

[@gregsampson7749]

Blade 6TC is for weak arms and cheap darts

[@shanebascom7319]

As a Gladiator 3+ owner, it wears extremely well, I get no bounce outs almost ever, and it looks great.

[@craigbowen1591]

got the target aspar last week and currently facing the constant fall out cuz it’s fairly hard… hoping it improves a lot as it wears a bit

[@gregsampson7749]

Get better darts

[@georgedixon8105]

You should rate all the blades single double and triple in 4, 5, 6. I love the Nodor supermatch3.

[@domingoleija3436]

Thanks for your outstanding reviews senor

[@TheDavid7780]

Have been using Unicorn striker as I got a starter set, not been a fan, bounce outs are often and it’s not lasted a while. Just bought a Blade 6 Dual Core so looking forward to it

[@andrewjohns2858]

I've used both the 6TC and 6DC. The 6 dual core is better IMO. The triple core is way too soft.

[@rusinaseppo7474]

DC is propably best Blade and not that expensive. Get Unicorn number ring on it and it's near perfect.

[@TheDavid7780]

@@rusinaseppo7474 yeah really happy with it so far, enjoying it a lot. First 180 on it this evening is always a good sign

[@jarnekompier]

Looks like I made the right choice buying the blade 6. I'm really satisfied with it ngl

[@tonybussey8763]

I originally bought the Viper League Pro and after 6 weekends of practice, it was goosed! I now have the Winmau Blade 6 triple core and so far I love it. Have to say that living in the US (ex pat) it cost $150 !

[@juhailoranta5478]

I actually like the gladiator 3+ board and disliked mission samurai infinity board. I do use sharp points though. Mission board seemed to be uneven meaning it had a lot of points that were harder than the others. Atleast the one i have played. Nice list anyways and good to hear other peoples opinions. Now i play with Shot bandit duro but was thinking between it and Datadart elite 2 hd. Decided on shot board because couldnt find any rewiews on datadart board or people talking about it. Looks like a nice board though. Thank you for good content and cheers from Finland

[@rusinaseppo7474]

Moro, I had Mission Infinity too. I found it quite soft and inconsistent in firmness. White sections were very soft and others bit harder. Ofcourse you can throw to that but it giver bit bad sound every dart plonking to backboard. Looks are nice if you don't mind the blue logos. But closer you see it's not that great quality "feel" like Winmau. Also numberring bit flimsy and cheap. But for the price it's, ok but from Mission I rather get Samurai 2 for cheaper. I would place Infiny to "solid boards".

[@WAco-se9wf]

What are your thoughts about the shot warrior?

[@whodey59]

Winmau Blade 5 dual core. God tier! Bought it 3+ years ago...still looks almost brand new. But the Unicorn Eclipse Ultra has a God Tier numbers ring IMO.

[@nemerid]

I agree. Blade 5 dual core god tier. Best longevity i've ever seen. Not the case of the blade 6 which is the most beautiful but really not the best. Extremely soft, more bounce out and not a lot of longevity...

[@whodey59]

@@nemerid 100% agree!! 🎯

[@jarvis1508]

@@nemerid Do agree. Reckon if a blade 6 had unicorn written above it people wouldn't praise it nearly as much

[@andrewjohns2858]

Winmau 6TC is way too soft in spots. Sometimes my darts are buried right up to the barrel. The 6DC is better for my throw and hopefully long lasting like the 5DC was. Either way, it's all relative. Everyone has a different throw and preference for the density of their board. 😁

[@gregsampson7749]

I agree. 6TC is for people with wimpy arms and lights darts

[@Bbbb-tf3dl]

Please also review the Red Dragon RazorEdge, and the Nodor Series.

[@martindzik3850]

One80 Gladiator III+ is definitely a God tier. One of the 3 best boards you can actually buy.

[@sometimme]

What about the Harrows Matchplay?

[@stephenconnolly1913]

I have it barely a week and today alone I've had 30 bounce outs and 2 points broke won't be buying an aspar again

[@phdiy3913]

Thinking of going for the personalised one for the man cave, the infinity colours put me right off.....or I just say what the hell...blade 6 lol

[@herschelsquirts2338]

Don’t particularly care for the Winmau boards. The points sink in all the way to the barrel which causes the segments to be smaller. I have the Shot Bandit Duro, we also have a bunch in our leagues. The center bull ring is notorious for falling out. I prefer the Gladiator boards.

[@mo77i57]

Would be interesting to know where you would put the winmau diamond / mvg board

[@usurp4892]

In the bin

[@zoltomar4759]

Satisfied One80 G3+ user here. I’m willing to try something else for the next round though, thanks for making this list.

[@mrmods7912]

Mission infinity is awesome

[@joemahma3457]

I’ve rotated my Blade 5 D/C religiously and it’s still in great shape, except for the Bull, the Bull feels dead. 😢

[@WKDDARTS]

THE TRIPLE CORE IS AWESOME BUT A THINK THE BLADE 5 IS LONGER LASTING THO AS WENT THROUGH 3 OF THEM BUT STILL ON MY 1ST BLADE 5 BOARD YES USE BLADE 5 ALOT LESS BUT STILL IT SEEMS TO HOLD UP A.OT BETTER THAN BLADE 6 ANYWAY ONTO NOT PERFECT BOARDS THEY ARE WELL WORTH THE MONEY MY LEAGUE TEAM BUYS THEM AND YOU WOULDN'T KNOW ANY DIFFERENCE FROM A PERFECT BOARD AFTER FEW BEERS TBH AND PRICE IS AMAZING TBH 😉 GOOD VIDEO JACK 😀

[@michaelbell5238]

Ouch ouch & hecking OUCH‼️ i just bought a Unicorn Striker & cabinet & hung it all up 🙈 i guess i really missed the bullseye here! I wish i'd saw this first mate! Well, i am a beginner again anyway. As it's been 20 years since i owned a board or played. And it's just to teach my girlfriend, as her work want her to fill a space on a darts team. So it's good enough to chuck spikes at & get her to find her stance & throw on the go. I watched this, thinking my board was headed for God Tier 😂😂😂 hope you all had a decent Christmas! ❤️✌🏽🎅🎁🎄🎯

[@Majormoose1]

I've just done the same with the unicorn hd 2 ... Can't find a good review anywhere 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ works for my casual home darts but hoping it lasts 🤞🤞

[@thurgood107]

I think the Viper Black Obsidian is well, well worth a go.

[@chrisf.685]

I´m genuinely surprise about the cheap price of the Samurai Infinity. In Europe, you´ll have to pay around 70 Euros to get it... About the Shot! Bandit Duro: No, it´s not the colour that´s this board´s greatest weakness, it´s the wiring that has the tendency to get a bit crooked from paying, more than any other board brand´s wiring. I like the Bandit very much, but will rather buy a Infinity or a B6DC what is in my opinion THE best compromise between price and quality/durability, closely followed by the Infinity that is a high quality board even for 70 Euros.

[@VegasMilgauss]

Winmau masters. The goat.

[@robsteries]

cheers to that mate!

[@markbryant8321]

Great advice 👍

[@kylegarfield7244]

Nodor supamatch 3 best board on market for me 👍

[@mjdoc4231]

I've had unicorns and winmau galore. Great boards, especially the winmau blade 5 dc but have to say my 2 year old one80 gladiator plus is better than all them.

[@Hestin3]

My next board will be either Winmau Blade 6 Dual Core or Mission Samurai Infinity , i will probably coinflip on this one😊

[@rusinaseppo7474]

Take Blade 6 Dual Core. Maybe best board for that price, nothing bad about it. Maybe colours not the brightest. Put Eclipse Ultra number ring on it and it's great.

[@gregsampson7749]

Both garbag

[@Timesend]

With that price deduction, I’m going to buy the tester asper board next

[@davidlomax4028]

Blade 6 carbon triple core... Without a doubt!!

[@Luckydoobie671]

Could you review the alien dartboard. Please

[@domingoleija3436]

Surprised the GOAT-Evercore board hasn't been reviewed much but it's priced same as Mission-Infinity at $59 as well as NODOR S.M. 5? Everscore has nice contrast for the nocturnal a.m. players

[@sododgy8338]

You're commenting on a 10 month old video about a board that hasn't even been available for three months.

Winmau Diamond Plus £35 quid 👍

[@oxygengraphafonadelaverberator]

Where would you put the Winmau Diamond on this list? Just got one from Argos 😂

15 years ago, I’d have put it quite high up! Unfortunately it’s a bit outdated now and most boards today are better. But still a good board! Can’t knock it

Interesting video but no information on longevity. Personally, had Winmau Blade 5 for 2.5 years, was good, then bought Winmau Blade 5 Dual Core but very bad for me because I do not throw fast and hard so they don't stick, had it for 2 years and lost 2 years of playing. Recently bought a normal Winmau Blade 6, been 2 months and it's heaven. Will never buy and try a Triple Core, probably not good for me.

[@rebelcounty2078]

Blade 6 Triple Core is the best 😀👍

[@mistertnoname1653]

Hell no, after a week it looks a year old

blade 5?

still using my triple core after 2 years 🤣

[@timosaareste8655]

Winmau Triple Core is truly the best board! You get what you pay for

No it’s not. It’s good for weak throwers and people who use lights darts. Food board for females

[@DaWidDiY]

All the way Blade 6 triple core Best dart board ever 👌👌👌

[@gregsampson7749]

Best for wimpy arms. Both is too soft

Blade 6 genuinely isn’t a great board, but the triple core is significantly better for wear, lasts so much longer
