great comparison man.... u do some good videos... nice editing , info, etc. great job!
Thanks! I try my best with editing, something I think a lot of channels don't do enough of
I have both boards... had the Dual Core Blade 5 longer than my One80 board... its holding up really well!!! No complaints. As for the the One80 board, same... great solid board! One80 seems a little more harder... but i actually like the color/inking better on the One80, looks brighter, cleaner. Can't go wrong with either. Gladiator III and Blade 5 are excellent boards.
Definitely. I think I probably should have phrased better on the one80 i dont think the inkling is bad it just seems a bit thick almost like it's been painted. Especially when new. Both are awesome boards though definitely 👍🏻
Thanks for the thoughtful answer, I'll brush the piss out of it and then see if playing on it will maybe make it and me young again! Tops to ya!
Really good review! I think the wires look noticeable thicker on the 180. Espescially on the side angles when playing the 501. If winmau could reduce the profile of the bull wire they would really improve it. Possibly coming on the Blade 6 maybe?
Thanks!
That's definitely what I'm thinking. I think the wires that separate each number are thicker than all the wires on the G3 but the wires that separate singles from treble and double are a lot thinner.
Definitely a better bull wire and a new number ring. Dont think we'll see a blade 6 for a couple years yet. Maybe when PDCs contract with unicorn is up 🤔
@@MatadorDarts I reckon blade 6 is another 5 years off at least. The manufacturing cost in building the machines and tooling mean they have to run that line for a minimum of X years before they see the return and the blade 5 is probably the most popular board out there so they won't nmbe in a rush to change it unless the competition make something out of this world better.
@@MatadorDarts there we are with the blade 6 lol😂
Excellent comparison, thanks fren!
Thank you, just doing my bit for those that wanted to know!
@@MatadorDarts you nailed it - great review
Really good review. 🎯👍🏻
Thank You! Just trying to let people know their options as I know not many have seen both boards together
Gladiator 2 is by far the best board ive played on. Had a G3, it was slightly less dense and quieter. However it was one of the batches that had the terrible spider issue. Blade 5s just dont last as long, but they sure look great on camera
Yeah I had a g3 with the spider issue, wasn't sure if I could get a replacement for it or not seeing as one80 are so inactive everywhere.
I have a g2+ and its definitely the best board I have
Good review.better darts today.
Made a mistake buying Gladiator 3 - after few months wire started going out of a board, banged it back with pieace of wood and hammer, and it was good for another month. After that it goes out faster and faster, now it lasts for 2 days max.
Yeah my wire has slowly started to come away too a couple months after I made this review. Shame really as it's a really nice board otherwise. I've switched to the G2+ hopefully those wires dont come out too
Thanks for the comparison. I have a thirty five year old board that I am going to put on the wall again but it is badly discolored due to dust and crud. Can you recommend a way to restore brightness? Thanks
Sorry I don't really know how to restore boards, 35 years old though I'd say it might be worth getting a new one. Maybe use a stiff brush but other than that I wouldn't know
The cheapest professional style board on the market is £30 which is the mission samurai.
Otherwise I would recommend either of these two boards at a slightly higher price.
Use sharpie pens.... black, green, red... it will restore some color
Not happy with my blade 5, so if I switch to one80 ? I can use the same mounting, just need wedges?
Yeah it's the same mounting with the screw in the middle as far as I'm aware! And yeah just use wedges and you'll be set
Nice video there mate
Thanks mate!
@@MatadorDarts no bother mate hope your channel takes off you do some good content
Great intro!!!!!
Thank you!
Are soft tip darts quieter in normal board than steel tip? Love throwing but neighbours are complaining and need a way to quieten the noise down
Yeah they are quieter definitely although spring about a lot 🤣
@@MatadorDarts that's OK, if it means I can play and not worry about the noise I can live with the spring 🤣
What program you using to play against
Nakka / n01 in this video it's a website nakka.com then press n01
Nice vid
Thanks!
winmau blade 5 or one80 gladiator 3+ if you throw darts light on the board?
Its tough to say, blade 5 is softer but may lead to fall outs. Personally from experience most boards will hold light throws and darts
@@MatadorDarts Thanks for the answer! Do you have experience which board lasts longer?
@@uschi1046 I'd say the gladiator 3+ lasts longer however the sisal will wear differently. Winmau sisal goes rough whereas Gladiator 3+ will stay the same but you will get loose fibres which can be removed/burned off
@@MatadorDarts Ok , thanks for all the answers! Are 24g Red Dragon Darts good for medium dart players? And which throw the dart very slow and high? I thin i'll get one80 gladiator 3+ and 2 of red dragon 24g darts sets
@@uschi1046 Its totally up to you, heavier darts are more likely to go deeper into the board, its a good starter weight for sure.
Heavier darts will also glide through the air better because they push through the air easier which means you dint need to throw as hards
had both and prefer Glad3. Winmau had too many bull bounce outs. Even after backing out the screw slightly......
Yeah I had that with my blade 5 but csnt fault the blade 6 so far. Seems like they fixed that issue
can you use gladiator 3 board with winmau bracket
Yeah they work exactly the same, most boards use the same bracket with the screw and metal slot on the wall
Matador Darts • Darts Tips and Reviews cheers think ill stick set unicorn unilocks on it cba with cardboard wish all boards had winmau rota lock feature makes there boards so easy
@@briancarlisle8886 yeah I have the unilocks but unfortunately because I have carpet behind my board they dont fit properly
Matador Darts • Darts Tips and Reviews i had bad set last time that i couldnt get to work or id put them on wrong think put them on to straight
What app you playing against?
This is Nakka (n01) its a website not an app
Thanks for the reply
Anyone like the one 80 vapor
What about the unicorn board?
I wouldnt say the unicorn boards are as good as these 2. Although they're still good
Thanks for your feedback 👍
it's the Winmau for me
The 2 best boards you can buy.
100% Both super close for me, been playing with one80 for months now but may switch back to blade 5
@@MatadorDarts I find the one80 a bit sticky.don't know if you had the same?
@@winfield347 Not for me, I've stopped using my 3 now because the wire keeps coming away but I have a gladiator 2+ which seems to be holding up better and the board is a touch firmer all around which is better
@@MatadorDarts where you get the g2 from?
@@winfield347 was available on a180 and Dartscorner a couple months back. Not sure about now
None of those 2 , Harrows Matchplay Pro board is far better board by nice price .
I have the harrows pro matchplay too. I like it but I don't think it's as good as these two boards
Wedges, gum, better that this rota lock shitt noisy system. I pull out and put few socks behaind dartboard. Quite and gently
