Played soft tip once in hong Kong while drunk , was defeated by someone who never picked up a dart before ! Immediately retired from soft tip game.. Great review mate , don't let the nutters get you down
Thanks for the review Darren, I liked the dash. Soft tip darts was good to get into when I was loosing interest in steel tip. The app animations were so old school - made me feel like I was back at the old ten pin bowling.
iam building a cabinet to box the gran 3s board. Will it be a good idea to use home depot foam cover with pool table felt to protect the darts from maybe bending or breaking when missing dart board? Right now I have that foam with pool table felt behind my bristle dartboard and it works very good and also looks good. However I don't know if I will be needing this for the soft tip darts?
@@DartsReviewChannel Ok and if i wan't to go on the next level in softtip darts in the future, what can recommend me? And what do i have to pay for that?
Guess it depends on what you like, Gran Board still has one of the bigger online networks but the Nexus is growing and the Hi Darts probably is the best construction but the cost will vary from around £200 to £320 if I remember rightly.
Greta review. I don't know a lot around the rules of soft tip but noticed you had a couple of bounce outs and the score still registered. Is that within the rules or do you have to change that manually?
It's so funny to me that you think that, Darren. I always thought it was unfair that in steel tip a dart that hit its target but bounced out would NOT count. Nevermind "Robin hood" shots not counting. That's the equipment fucking up, not the player. One of the great advantages of soft top is that it records the accuracy of your throw even when the board or your own equipment fucks up through no fault of your own. I think you guys tend to think of soft tip as "fake steel tip", but if you view it as a game unto itself you'll find that it's a fine game and actually has some advantages over steel tip (disadvantages too!). I personally don't think either one is better, I like them both in different ways for different reasons 😎
Yeah that's a good point but the steel tip rules say it only scores if the point is touching the bed but guess that's the only way to know with steel tip. But to me soft tip can be good fun and in many ways its still darts just another version :)
Thanks mate! I have had a look in a few more boxes but not seen them I am beginning to think it may not have been Axis I had but the other one that I think Justin Pipe used, think it was Apex but not seen those either yet lol
Thanks! I no longer have it but its a good board if you are into soft tip but I think the full Granboard is probably the better buy but if on a tighter budget the Dash is worth a go.
Hy, thanks for the review, I just got this dartboard for my xmas. Which darts would you recommend to buy to play on this ? The darts with the box are kind of cheap and only 9/10g, but I wouldn't want to destroy the board with some heavier darts. Thanks for your advice
I always liked GranBoards, this one looks nice and compact. Almost like this soft tip board I got from a Decathlon sports shop which was pretty flimsy at the similar dimensions. Great review Darren! Just a shame this board doesn't do well with heavy darts :/ I can't use them Beatons on it.
thank you I finally ordered the gran 3s board. I also ordered 3 viper 20g darts and 3 viper 18gr darts. Do you think the 20g will be to heavy for this board? With the bristle board that I have when we play we kindda throw soft since steel tip darts stick pretty good. Don't know how we will be throwing with the plastic board
Brilliant review Darren I don't like soft tip because I have never played soft tip I have always had steel tip with my same darts and I don't think I could play with another set or differant weight darts and plus you could get a few b5s or a b5dc for that price but great review though as always
Thanks for your video! What does the GRANBOARD 3 or GRAN BOARD 3 cost and where do i get it? Some online shops have ridiculous prices for this unit. I really need this unit due to its quietness. i have been threatened by another occupant that if it's loud, it's gotta go. I have to be so careful with the sound but I also need to have the lights and pageantry of the GRAN BOARD 3 unit.
@@DartsReviewChannel Sorry for my bad diction. My request is how many players can play one match against each other? So can you play for example a cricket match with 4, 6, 8, or maybe more people in offline mode?
Am thinking of getting a new dart what would you recommend was the best out of the Adrian Lewis Gen3 or the Adrian Lewis pixel grip 23 or the Wayne mardel gen 1 ?
Not sure as only had the Dash, my guess is its just a better constructed board thats more robust, but it may have other features too that the Dash does not have such as the flashing coloured LEDs.
Hi i know its been 5yrs since u reviewed this board..im thinking of getting one for £110..then theres the 3s but thats £250.. is the 3s alot better board features.. better made etc or is it just the fancy lights that makes it that price..so what im trying to say is the 3s board worth me paying £140 more for..???
@DartsReviewChannel thanks for quick reply..so u would say gran board dash is a good solid board for the price...also up to what gram dart can be used on soft tip boards...and what tips would u recommend Iv heard people say get decent tips not cheap ones they break easily ..sorry for all the questions..👍
@@waynebennett530 I never used soft tip boards much so I think others will know which tips will be better but usually the l-style ones are pretty good, weight I think should be best to be no more than 18g
@@DartsReviewChannelwhat happened to the nexus board looked a good board but didn't seem to take off for some reason from the reviews..I'm still undecided about what board to buy the dash seems ok..but doesn't look a solid board to me and would the segments last..I might be wrong if I saw one in person..I'm new to soft tip only ever played steel..if i gave u £200 to spend on a board what soft tip board would u go out and buy today..?? I'm just trying to get best info before I take the plunge to buy one...👍
@waynebennett530 if you are planning to play a lot and long term then you are probably better getting the more expensive version but I think segments can be replaced if they fail on it
@@JackWHU They are all kind of loud anyway, but I think some people modify them in ways to make them quieter but I think to get a really quiet one you need something more solid like the Hi Darts board
Bought a Gran board dash a month ago and its a great board, but also a very noisy/loud board. it was too loud to use in my apartment, so I got a Gran board 3(GB3) today and what difference! its very quiet and build quality is better. But also about 3 times the price of the dash. They both use the same app. I hope you will do a review of GB3 some day. Thanks for a good channel and review :)
@@bradleykyle6493 You would have to take it apart and put some foam behind each panels, but I have never tried it. If you can get your hands on a used board you could try it. Otherwise I would go for 3S
I got nothing to say after that 9-Marked. Besides, lucky for you, same as when you introduced the Trinidad Tucker 22,5g (soft tip darts), when you used the supplied setup (there’s also that part of that video), you hit the 180!
There's apps you can download to play steel tips on you're own. And track your stats. I was using MyDartTrainer for awhile with a cheap soft tip board at my house for practice.
Got mine a few weeks ago. Made a plywood back to it, so I can hook it up just the same way as my steel tip.
Good idea :)
Nice... I was missing your reviews. Great job as always!

The Gran Board 3 is definitely the way to go though. Much stronger, and quieter. My wife and I play all the time.
Thanks ZL, glad to hear your enjoying it :)

Thanks Brad, have you got one?
Not a Dash, but do have a Gran Board 2. Will be setting up a Nexus very soon however.
Cool! :)
Does it say what country it is manufactured in? I heard Japan but idk. Kind regards
Don't have it anymore to check
It looks fun. I played soft tip for years. I dislike the floppy darts and the noisy boards. So much more soothing on the bristle boards.
yes a lot quieter on steel tip boards :)
Good Review and I love my Granboard Dash....also added ya on the app so I’ll keep my eye out for ya
Thanks mate, I am not sure I will get much time to play for a while as got a stack of reviews to get done :)
Would u suggest 16g darts to help stick to board better? Will the plastic tips break inside the holes?
probably best to not go heavier than 18g so 16g should be fine. All the tips break sometimes, its just how it is with soft tip darts.
You should review the new Granboard 3S way better build.
The board did well withstanding those hefty darts (and your pretty hefty throw!). Good review, thanks!
LOL cheers! :)
Nice board, i maybe buy one myself. Maily playing steeldart but sometimes i wan't to play softtip. Thanks for the video Darren!
I guess its worth a try if your not too sure about soft tip. I am sure I seen them on special offer somewhere for around £65 but cant find it now.

Ok :)
Awesome review! Thanks
What's the update on the it after further use?
Is it worth the buy?
Thanks! I no longer have it but its a good board if you are into soft tip but I think the full Granboard is probably the better buy but if on a tighter budget the Dash is worth a go.
When you play say 301 etc is there a option where u don't have to finish on a double?
From memory I think there is, but been a while since I last played on it and the software often gets updated.
Hi, can you recommend the best soft tip board for least bounce outs? And one that has a built in screen too, the best screen you've used.
I only know of the Nexus that has a built in screen
Thanks - very informative review. Gave it a thumbs up. Unsure as to why there are so many thumbs down reviews of this video?!
