Very kind buddy. I’m flattered! I will be brining out more content once I’ve finished this show I’m doing. I’ve got a great video coming up! Watch this space!
Thank you David. Sadly lost my mum, my uncle and great aunt all within 6 months so I’ve been helping my family. But now I’m back to RUclips with new equipment and I can’t wait to get stuck in! Thanks for your kind words and support!
Please do give an updated review on the Viper Obsidian board. I have the viper Razorback and Slash boards and love them. So far you are the only person who has shown one in hand. Thank you, love the vids.
The obsidian is still very quiet. It doesn’t have great quality control and the colours don’t go super deep. I will try do an update vid in the coming months! Glad you enjoy!
Marc, I just put my order in for a Bull's Advantage 5.01 after wanting one for the past several years. Can't wait till it arrives to compare it to my One80 Gladiator 3. I love the thin, razor bladed wiring and the white wiring system is something I always enjoyed on my Unicorn HD 1 board. Hopefully it will be the Best of all Worlds kinda Board for me.
@@LoveDarts Bit on the harder side huh? I just hung up my Unicorn HD Board...darts are almost 3/4 in VS 1/2 way in with my Gladiator 3. I forgot how soft Unicorn Boards can be.
@@LoveDarts I was surprised that my 5.01 Board is significantly softer than I thought it would be, As a matter of fact, my Gladiator One80 G3 is a much harder Board with Darts going no more than half way to the barrel. The Bullseye on the Bull's 5.01 is an absolute joy to shoot on though.
Thanks bud. Been a long time coming just been very difficult to adjust. Glad to see you pulling the reviews in my absence bud! Catchup soon! Cheeky dram and Nakka methinks
Welcome back & sorry for your loss. I’m new to darts and didn’t really know what I was buying when I started out. I’ve found your videos really helpful. I like the look of the Blade 6 Carbon and plan to buy this next. 👍
This is what I do it for! Thanks for the comment it means a lot when my videos help! Makes it all worth while. Thank you for the condolences! Hope you enjoy getting into darts! I’m on Twitter and Instagram too!
@@LoveDarts I currently have the unicorn Eclipse pro I find it soft and very hardwareing, and could you do a review on a harrows board, I had one once and I think they are horrid but would love to know everyone else's opinion
Welcome back Marc. As always, much love from everyone Chez Yates. Nice capsule reviews of the boards. My brother in law bought me a Blade 6 Carbon for my birthday. It turned up just before the PDC announcement, so it's a PDC logo free board. Might have to keep that and get one with the PDC logo :) My Blade 5 still has plenty of legs left in it though. Unicorn and Winmau do sell HD & HD style number rings on their own. Which makes me wonder if there's a market for HD number rings in different / favourite typefaces in colours. One with a 70s sci fi typeface in orange or purple would be a must buy! The Target Aspar board seemed to perform well at the World Seniors. Possibly because the players are all old school so don't hang with this newfangled patterns on points malarkey :)
Yeah the aspar did hold up ok but is harder than the others and marks up more. I like the innovation of the rotation and the number ring though. Love my carbon and still rotate them all and like aspects of each of them! I’d like to see some of the best bits together in a board! Thanks for the support bud
I had two blade 5s that had a bad bullseye where darts bounce off the middle of the bull. Now have a Target Aspar and they're much better. I'm also not going to spend 75 pounds to see if the blade 6 bull is better.
Glad to see you back making quality content on RUclips Marc. I really enjoyed this review and will definitely use it to influence my next board buy 👌🏻#lovedarts
@@rayphillips6060 no buddy tbh I didn’t like any of the unicorn boards until the ultra which I found to last longer than the previous boards. Don’t get me wrong they are beautiful but they just didn’t last as long and I felt there were dead spots around the bull and the wiring wasn’t good on bull but feel they were better on the ultra. I still personally prefer winmau boards though I think we have more choice these days. Even the latest batch of the aspar weren’t bad compared to mine which was hard. TheyvE definitely softened or is it a seasonal thing… not sure!
I just purchased the Red Dragon Razor Edge board for £28.90 (made by Winmau) and it is a fantastic board for the price... Just one point it does have some staples, but after around 10 hours practice (no bounce outs at all) and it heals quickly too..
Yeah it’s tricky I didn’t want to review boards with staples in as that would have opened up even more and I think most prefer the extra space without them. However I’m glad to hear something good about a staple board as it’s been a few years since I’ve played on one! Keep me posted on its durability!
@@LoveDarts Sorry to hear about mum your by the way.. Lost my dad at the start of the pandemic, now full time carer for my mum.. She still plays league darts at 83 years old..
@@Vialli100. that’s amazing. I’m devastated to have lost her. I can’t actually believe it and keep thinking she’s just away for a while… pain is unreal! I try help dad as best I can but I’ve taken on a lot
@@LoveDarts Just an update, I have been using the board daily for between 2 - 4 hours practice and turning regularly. So far it is still very good, shame I can't put picture on here.. I also purchased some new darts 'Target Daytona Fire 21g' hit a 180 first 3 lol..
Still this board in my opinion. Pricey but the best. If you want to save pennies I’m enjoying the mission infinity. Time will tell for durability though.
I know it’s a bit late, but I think the reason why the colours on the winmau boards are different compared to other boards is because of High definition television. e.g I’ve learnt if you have an object that is very white it can cause overblown whites to occur. basically if it’s so white, it can make it harder to view on High definition television, especially if you’re viewing it through a smart phone. It’s the same thing with the snooker balls, if you look closely at the cue ball today compared to back in the day, today’s cueball is actually off white instead of pure white so it’s easier to see. I think that’s the reason why the colours on the winmau boards are different. Hope that clears that up.
Sorry to hear about your Mum Mate my Condolences. I am on the fence between the Blade 6 carbon and the Target Aspar? Leaning toward the Blade 6 Carbon but super expensive here in Canada $179 Canadian. At local shop. what are the darts you are shooting are they your Love darts Darts or are they Target 975"s ? Just wondering I just did a trade with my buddy to get a set of 975's 03 model. CHEERS!! & Shoot e'm Strait!!
Depends if you like hard or medium board. The aspar is hard and marks up quite easily in comparison to the healing of the blade 6. In suing my type 2 LoveDarts bud! The 975’s are nice though no hex grips in middle of dart which is a shame! Hope you enjoy and remember… LoveDarts!!! ❤️ 🎯
@@jdwest9300 yes could have been a one off issue with mine. I do like the duro though it’s harder than others and tbh the advantage 5.01 is basically the same without the colours or price tag. But it’s not a bad board at all I like it!
Tbh I’ve not run it for very long since. By far one of the quietest boards but some quality issues. However for the price I think you’ve got yourself a bargain there!
@@LoveDarts yeah tell me about it. I had a 1cm splodge of green ink in a red double. Then threw 12 or so darts…one hitting the ‘2’ of the 20 number ring which fell off. Not ideal but an easy fix. A really nice feeling/sounding indoor board.
Will the Winmau carbon core take a soft tip dart as well as a steel tip? Looking for a quality board that will take both as my kids love to play but are to young to have steel tip darts..any help would be great , ty
I throw mine on it and seems ok. Just not a garanteed stick as if they are kids they won’t throw as hard. The carbon maybe a bit pricey for this though as soft tips can leave larger holes which are harder to repair. Consider a cheaper blade to test it on and see if it suits!
I'm abit late to the comments, I've been using the nodor supamatch 3 for a year now n it's still good odd bit of sisal showing, been turned regularly £39.90 on red dragon well worth money
excuse me sir...there's something i wanna ask you...do you know champs brand dart board....the box colors are white and blue.....is that good enough? if you know about this....because i'm going to buy dart board with average price
@@LoveDarts The material that protects the wall behind the dartboard. That is, the one that prevents the darts that do not hit the wall from hitting the wall. Dartboard is Winmau Blade 6 Dual core.

The viper obsidian is very soft but on the lower end of quality. I’d go with a blade variant. Never accused of being hard. Unicorn also can be soft or too soft and don’t last as long!
5 21:43 After seeing the blade 6 triple core on offer in argos for £63 i thought i better get myself down there and take advantage. Knowing how bad some dartboards can be (as new) i asked if they minded me taking it out the box to have a quick inspection….🤦🏼♂️awful!!! The n😮mber ring was bent and really cheap looking, colors looked faded and there was a big splash of green ink in the red treble twenty bed. I asked if they could get me another board which they did and they told me this is the last one they had, it was not as bad but no where near the quality it should be for saying there originally asking for £75 for these boards….. needless to say i had my money back.The 2 boards i viewed dident have the pdc print on them so they would of been of the first batches of them boards that was manufactured which i know there were a lot of complaints about but come on winmau i was shocked to see something so bad come out your factory, past quality control like thst was shocking… you can see on tv some of the boards the print is shocking… not good enough at all 👎🏻
all depends what you want and whats important to you. if money is no object the carbon is my choice. if you want value and a great board or 2 then samurai 2 is a fine board!
Really good review I personally think the blade 6 triple core with the unicorn ring but the bulls board is very pleasing on the eye at first like the unicorn new board , the new target looks to dull and that number ring is the worst I've ever seen
@@tomasmorrissey7324 yeah there’s definitely compliments from each brand that are good and could be all out together for perfection but the blade 6 carbon is very good!
Can anyone recommend me a board with a £35 budget please. The one I’ve currently got has a really thick wire on it which makes it impossible to be consistent with hitting 180s and trebles since I get so many darts bounce off the wire. Thanks.
@@LoveDarts the Supamatch 3 is the same quality as the base Winmau Blade 5, I think it's basically the same board but with a different screen print on it. I'd recommend it to anybody.
Nodor Supermatch board is made in the same factory and product as the Winmau boards. They are the same board with a different logo (Nodor is Winmau). The Supermatch 3 is an updated spider wiring and it’s nice. No bounce outs!!! So you get the best of both worlds, blade board with roto lock with the best spider on the market. Also, shout out to the viper boards. The spider is top notch!!! AIM 360, Razorback are great boards for the price. I have an advantage using these boards with the Supermatch 3 on Dartconnect as all my Winmau blade6 boards seem to have bounce outs in almost every match.
I bought the Blade 6 triple core in the 2nd week of January, it gets about one hours use in three 20 minute stints every day and three hours usage on a Thursday when a couple of my team mates come for a lesson, oops i meant practice!!, id been turning it regularly as any responsible dart board owner should do, However it is now the 24th of February and im extremely disappointed to report that it is in a shocking state considering what it cost, the healing is virtually nonexistent, I really am very very disappointed with it, I definitely will NOT be buying another one, I shouldn't even be needing a new board for at least another 6 months, so now ive gone back to my old Blade 5, which id been using for approx 7 months before buying the offending Blade 6, Winmau im not happy i certainly won't be buying any more from them until they bring out a Blade 7!!!
@@LoveDarts I don't actually have Twitter account, I would be more than happy to make a little video of it, seriously it's shocking ive never paid that much money for a dart board before, until now winmau to my mind was the only board to buy, i'll work something out so you can see it, that was accurate play time ive exaggerated anything, it's a below par extremely poor quality board, perhaps messenger or something like?, anyway it's gotta wait til tomorrow because I'm knackered!!
Yes was going to say you wouldn’t like the gladiator 3+ if you don’t like the samurai 2. You won’t like the target either. I’d try the blade 6 if I were you. Sounds more suited.
@@LoveDarts I'm still rocking a generic Blade 5, they've never let me down! I believe I can get Nodor boards for cheaper and they're exactly the same board.
Why at the end you didnt show us slowly,gently this best board blade six from winmau who pay you probably good money and made worst dartboard ever?!? After two weeks all black is white now, i mean plenty of white hairs coming out...
I’m paid nothing. I make about £1 a day from RUclips and I spend all my free time making videos on what I think. I’ve heard of others having issues with all the boards and I think it comes down to many factors. Temperature of storage, temp of room, type of points and the way the darts are taken out of the board etc. and there can be bad batches of boards where the sisal doesn’t hold up as well. Of the board is the worst ever why are they using it for the PDC?
I would never buy a dartboard from winmau ever again Customer service was disgraceful sent me a reject board then basically called me a liar when I complained
Blade 6 triple core, carbon premium hd, pro.. bla bla bla...cost too much money! £80 already in argos for exp... i like number rings but dosnt matter, i can play even without. One80 gladiator 3 isnt here...could even win with blade 6 carbon but looks like someone got some money from winmau...
The brands pay me nothing and I can say what I want about the products. Why do the pdc use this board of it’s the worst? The glad 3 is a good board but not the best imho. Sorry if you don’t agree. That’s your right!

A good way to preserve a dartboard is to soak it in urine... I don't suppose you know a venue where you can do this to all those boards, Marc?
lmao I DID!!! but apparently it's clean up it's act! lmao this comment made me chuckle!!!
I have the Nodor Supamatch 3, top quality board from the company that owns both Winmau and Red Dragon.
Been a long time since I played on a Nodor board. Would be great to see a flashy nee looking board from them! Last I played on was very old school!
@@LoveDarts the Supamatch 3 is the same quality as the base Winmau Blade 5, I think it's basically the same board but with a different screen print on it. I'd recommend it to anybody.
@@WJNeweII well I shall look into it buddy! Thanks for the recommendation
Nodor Supermatch board is made in the same factory and product as the Winmau boards. They are the same board with a different logo (Nodor is Winmau).
The Supermatch 3 is an updated spider wiring and it’s nice. No bounce outs!!! So you get the best of both worlds, blade board with roto lock with the best spider on the market.
Also, shout out to the viper boards. The spider is top notch!!!
AIM 360, Razorback are great boards for the price. I have an advantage using these boards with the Supermatch 3 on Dartconnect as all my Winmau blade6 boards seem to have bounce outs in almost every match.
I got blade 6 triple core and after one month was so used... blade6 after 1 month 50% less
So the blade 6 is better than the triple core?
What means no wires of the edges?
If you look at the spider wire frame it’s circular on the edge instead of having the extensions coming off like spiders legs. It looks neater without.
how i wish i could buy any one of these, i still use terton craft😂😂abaca fiber board😢😢
There’s a lot of competition out there now so I’m sure you can pickup a board at a good price at some point my friend! All the best
Nice video
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
I bought the Blade 6 triple core in the 2nd week of January, it gets about one hours use in three 20 minute stints every day and three hours usage on a Thursday when a couple of my team mates come for a lesson, oops i meant practice!!, id been turning it regularly as any responsible dart board owner should do,
However it is now the 24th of February and im extremely disappointed to report that it is in a shocking state considering what it cost, the healing is virtually nonexistent, I really am very very disappointed with it, I definitely will NOT be buying another one, I shouldn't even be needing a new board for at least another 6 months, so now ive gone back to my old Blade 5, which id been using for approx 7 months before buying the offending Blade 6, Winmau im not happy i certainly won't be buying any more from them until they bring out a Blade 7!!!
Crikey I’ve not experienced that myself. If you have twitter tag me in a pic so I can see please. Would be good to see.
@@LoveDarts I don't actually have Twitter account, I would be more than happy to make a little video of it, seriously it's shocking ive never paid that much money for a dart board before, until now winmau to my mind was the only board to buy, i'll work something out so you can see it, that was accurate play time ive exaggerated anything, it's a below par extremely poor quality board, perhaps messenger or something like?, anyway it's gotta wait til tomorrow because I'm knackered!!
内容很棒的视频，不过有的镜头太晃了，头晕…😓
I hate having to use the Mission Samurai 2 in super league and county, the only board I like less is the One80 Gladiator 3.
Yes was going to say you wouldn’t like the gladiator 3+ if you don’t like the samurai 2. You won’t like the target either. I’d try the blade 6 if I were you. Sounds more suited.
@@LoveDarts I'm still rocking a generic Blade 5, they've never let me down! I believe I can get Nodor boards for cheaper and they're exactly the same board.
@@WatershipAlan that’s the beauty of darts we all like different things! Keep throwing bud! Enjoy
Really sorry to hear about your mam
Thanks bud
Rota locks is a bull shit...makes nois and I pull out and put me 4 pair of socks to stop noise and hold well
Why at the end you didnt show us slowly,gently this best board blade six from winmau who pay you probably good money and made worst dartboard ever?!? After two weeks all black is white now, i mean plenty of white hairs coming out...
I’m paid nothing. I make about £1 a day from RUclips and I spend all my free time making videos on what I think. I’ve heard of others having issues with all the boards and I think it comes down to many factors. Temperature of storage, temp of room, type of points and the way the darts are taken out of the board etc. and there can be bad batches of boards where the sisal doesn’t hold up as well. Of the board is the worst ever why are they using it for the PDC?
I would never buy a dartboard from winmau ever again Customer service was disgraceful sent me a reject board then basically called me a liar when I complained
Well stop lying then
Blade 6 standard are way to soft,,and not very durable... blade 5 was much better
Durability is certainly not as good over time as the blade 5/4
I had mine 7 weeks. and my 5 year old blade5 looks better hmm
@@LoveDarts i know its a no no..but i sprayed it a little bit,,and it much better.. it was just to dry and soft when i got it
@@bjrnhagen2853 crikey that’s madness. What points and weight darts? Do you rotate the dart as you pull them out. Helps reduce sisal coming out.
@@LoveDarts yepp i allways twist em to the right.. titan plain conversion points..22 gram darts
Blade 6 triple core, carbon premium hd, pro.. bla bla bla...cost too much money! £80 already in argos for exp... i like number rings but dosnt matter, i can play even without.
One80 gladiator 3 isnt here...could even win with blade 6 carbon but looks like someone got some money from winmau...
The brands pay me nothing and I can say what I want about the products. Why do the pdc use this board of it’s the worst? The glad 3 is a good board but not the best imho. Sorry if you don’t agree. That’s your right!
More like you get paid to poo poo Winmau boards as you are commenting on ALOT of different reviews going on about ya socks etc.
@@dylanstewart3830 no idea what you are on about Dylan. Have a good day
Right and where is the Nodor supamatch.... price/quality the gladiator and the supamatch are the best out there
