The last year when I was about to buy a new dartboard to replace completely destroyed winmau blade 5 dual core I almost decided to buy One80 Gladiator due to positive reviews and pleasant price but at the end I have bought another winmau B5. No regrets, Winmau B5 is still one of the best dartboards but It's quite expensive, more that Gladiator and quality is the same.
Thanks Darren another great review 😊 perfect start to the throwing lol 😂 looking forward to hearing the update after throwing for a bit 👍
Cheers mate 😊
It’s a great board the original one apart from the spider that started to come out of one side of the board. There was no way of banging it back in without damaging it. Hopefully they’ve sorted that issue out now
Yeah hopefully they have 🙂
Will be good if the spider is in fact secured better, had the spider on the Blade come out of the board for me and seen a few more boards do that. Good info....
Yeah I think its a fairly common problem, that and lumpy boards with the sisal coming out. Lots of things can affect the way boards wear though and I think some are probably just a bit less good from the moment they leave the factory sadly.
@@DartsReviewChannel I have to agree with u on that.
I have been using a Gladiator 2+ board for a couple months now, after seeing the video and comparing the boards I do not see much of a difference between the G3+ and the G2+. I do notice a great difference between the original G2 and the G2+ I have not played on a G3+ as of yet but I am going to get one from Santa lol. Good review. Thanks for the closeup pictures.
It's not always easy to see what is better or worse with different versions of boards, will have to update in time though 🙂
Thank you for your review on the one80 Gladiator111+. I have one for over a month now and it still looks like new. I just it a spray of water every now and then. I would recommend it to anyone. Just as good as the Winmau blade 6 dual core..
No problem, you should not really spray with water though unless you live in an arrid climate
Thank you Darren. As always, informative and entertaining.
Thanks Jerry! :)
I’ve had a G3 and getting another one soon. Current board is two years old and still is great. Love the rotafix system too. I’d love to try the Mission board but shipping to the US makes for an expensive purchase.
Yeah its a good board :)
Had mine since March and its fantastic.
Good to hear 👍
@@DartsReviewChannel just keep a eye on the wire see if it bends after a while.
Needed a board review as I'm thinking of getting a new board. I'm using Grandboard's Burning steel tip board and it's wearing nicely, it may have about a few months to go before it's officially dead. The bullseye is toast though.
Never heard of that one, did not know Granboard made steel tip boards though :)
Nice one Daz great looking board currently using a blade 5 which I have no complaints about. Just out of interest mate do you play everyday? If so how long are your sessions? Cheers 🍻
Thanks! I dont play as much as I used to due to all my various aches, but try to get at least 30mins a day if possible but depending on what is aching sometimes I can go for a week or two without throwing.
@@DartsReviewChannel Sorry to hear mate. Thanks for the videos 👍🏻🍻🇦🇺
@@Mick_Au Cheers Michael :)
I have 3 options. What do you think ist the best?
1. Target Pro Tour
2. Gladiator III +
3. Blade 5 Dual Core
G3+
Thank you Darren :)
Awesome review as always Darren. Slight typo in the word "product" in the thumbnail mate, no biggie. 😎👍
Thanks mate, good spot too, I will fix it tomorrow when I get back on my pc 👍
I wish i had a pound for every time ive lost a section and had to re shoot it but another top line review buddy.
I had a bad experience with the gladiator 3 and like all the big boys do i find them ignorant bastards I tried to reach out to them because you said the boards were very good and i trust your judgement.
But i was ignored as usual a real shame because ii would have put out a follow up video to reset the balance but hay ho not to worry.
As usual a very interesting and professional review buddy all the best D Dave...
Yeah I have done all the issues with recording, had times when I did a whole video of me throwing and throw well which is rare for me and then realize I forgot to hit record button. From all my talks over the years with lots of people and the brands about boards I am firmly sure now that its a bit of a lottery, some boards are just bad as soon as they leave the factory for various reasons, but on the whole from feedback of others and my own experience the G3 has been great, there is definitely some bad batches out there just as there is with B5DC, I have had 2 B5DC that have gone lumpy in no time. As for them been ignorant, One80 is near impossible to contact these days, never used to be though, think its because they have spread out in different areas so much and its just not easy to get hold of anyone. Seem for a lot of the brands now though, its why I dont bother unless its someone I have know for a while already, nightmare when that person leaves though. Cheers! :)
Darren that was a super amazing video darren !
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Nice one 👍. I'll be opening up a Shot Bandit 50th Anniversary board on Xmas day. Have you been able to review Shot boards lately? Cheers
Nice 😊 Shot are nice boards but the spiders are too thin, can break easily, if the spiders were stronger then they would be great. Been a while since I last had one though.
@@DartsReviewChannel That's great to know, thank you 👍
I wish PDC had Gladiators and not that shitty Unicorn board.
Mine has huge gaps between the wires and the sisal. Very disappointing. The outer bull ring is covered in green paint. Not the quality I expected at all. It’s only came today. Not happy
Thats why I said I hope you get a good one, I have often said boards are hit and miss as there is not the same consistency as with darts but I think most boards have some acceptable issues due to the nature of how they are made. Once they leave the factory though other factors can affect them, like how they are transported and stored in warehouse/shops. If its a really bad one then you can raise a complaint I guess.
Gladiator 3 is by far the best board on the market, very long lasting even with grip points.
Haven’t played on the 3+ yet, hope they didn’t change too much about the sisal.
Like the review again👍🏻
I agree, I think the G3 is awesome, remains to be seen if the G3+ is as good :)
It seems a great one ☝🏾😇 BTW, which Darts did you use for the Video?
Thanks with br 🤗
Cheers! Target Sprint
Can't wait for the update do you think they will put the rota-lok on this one And what's your favourite board Darren, Great review as always Cheers.
Not sure, they may come out with a new G4 for all I know. G3 is best board for me so far, but G3+ could be 😊
Cheers Darren.
It looks a nice board but..... Argos has the blade 5 on at £26. Early Xmas present for myself
I had 3 gladiator g3 normal boards with rotafix for less sound, play daily 15min to 1 hour. All 3 boards lasted 4 months max. the spider came out every time. Now second blade 5 dual core with rotafix and those lasted a year each, just as quiet. Normal G3 is shit.
I have had two Blade 5 DC that went lumpy in a short time, so there is just a case of some get bad luck with boards but the main problem with the G3 seems to have been the spider lifting out, but they have meant to fix that with the G3+. My G3 lasted well though and is still in good nick, lasted better than the two B5DC's I had anyway.
@@DartsReviewChannel that’s funny. Just the other way around. But the spider problems are the same with g3. Overall the sisal was still fairly oke, but mainly the spider was crap. I bought the g3 for least amount of noise due to your other g3 vs blade 5 video. I think you can just have bad luck sometimes, maybe due to how the shops stockpile the boards? Temperature etc. My board is in my living room so that should be fine with 20 degrees. I really like the rotafix mount though, but doesn’t mount that easy on a winmau because of the center bolt wich winmau doesn’t have.
@@roderickverduijn2750 Yeah this video was actually a fair bit longer as at the end I spoke about all the reasons I know that mean we dont all get consistent experience with boards, lots of things can affect them, storage is a major issue but also the temperature and condition of the glue, the natural quality of the grass while it is grown and even the time of year it is cut, so many things really, so all we can do is go by what the majority opinions are, so for me the best boards are G3, G3+ B5, B5DC and probably the Bulls Advantage, I have a new one I am trying soon though :)
@@SnarkyMarx not good then
Great review Darren 👍🏻🎯
Thanks mate! :)
I have these options. Which one should I take:
-One80 G3+
-Eclipse Pro (original one)
-Mission Samurai 2
I think G3+ first then Mission Samurai 2
So what did you go with and how is it?
Hi again bud would you pick this over blade 6 standard will it last longer and have less bounce outs looks nice 👍?
I would going by my previous experience with the G3+ but as I have come to realize boards can be very inconsistent for many reasons, some have had great ones last a long time and others not so good, I think its a bit of a luck of the draw type situation in the end :)
great review but i'm bored. i don't known wich to buy The G3or the blade to replace my old NODOR
I had the Gladiator 3 in the past and now I have the G3+. I find both dartboards being great. Out of the box, the G3+ is much nicer. I'd say that my previous G3 wasn't the best one of the batch... Neither of my two Gladiators had the BDO logo printed. I bought the G3 with the Rotafix but haven't used it until now with the G3+. Can't say if it's less noisy or something, it's definitelly easier to rotate it though. BTW, always rotate it by three black segments so that all the segments are changed naturally (8 to 20 or 10 to 20). My previous G3 lasted 1 year, then it started bulging from around the trebles area. I've been using the G3+ for 5 months now and so far so good. If I should buy another dartboard right now, it'd be G3+ again unless someone convinced me that any other dartboard is significantly more silent, as the noise is one of the main things that I'm concerned of when buying a new dartboard for home. Blade 5 is an awesome dartboard, however I only used it for 15 throws and had to get rid of it.
100 agree... 3 black segments each time
I've had two B5DC boards that went lumpy in less than a year, but I think boards are never fully consistent anyway, too many natural materials and environmental conditions that can't be controlled, also I think that all brands have not so good batches. All we can really go by i the general opinion from users so from that I think it's still between G3,G3+,B5 and B5DC, for me it's the One80s boards 🙂
Nice looking board!
I’ve just ordered this
Hope you get a good one :)
Should i buy the Gladiator 3+ or the Blade 6 Dual Core? I play only for fun. Planning to use the board for atleast 1-2 years. Any recommendation?
Greetings from Germany
Hi mate, its always hard to recommend boards to people as they are never 100% consistent. I would normally recommend the G3+ but a guy on the forum recently got one and it was a bit rough out the box. I think how long they last will obviously depend how much you use it. Either board should be ok though but I would still lean more to the G3+ but if you get a dodgy one dont blame me lol! :)
Hello Sir! Im planning to buy my 1st board and planning to buy this one. Sir, just wanna know if the board is still ok? so many people are saying the board is already hard after 5 months. Hope you can help me dart boards are pretty expensive here in our country. Thank you in advance for answering, More power to you Sir and God Bless.
Well its a firm board from the start anyway, mine is still fine but no two boards are alike and the conditions they are used in can have varying affects on it. If you like a firm board then its a good one but if you dont like a firm board then maybe a Blade 6 would be the better option :)
well done
Hi there, Was wondering if the bracket for this dartboard is the same as a mission samurai or a winmau board as they all fit onto the same one or whether it's abit more awkward like a shot bandit as I'm thinking of getting this board if it will just slide onto my current bracket. Many thanks :-)
Yeah it fits on a normal bracket :)
Thanks for the reply :). Going to be purchasing one of these soon. Currently have blade 6 triple core and its just far too soft and the red being so dull really ruins it.
@@jaydoyle7380 Yeah it gets very soft once its broken in, the G3+ is quite firm so should be better but as I often say boards can be very inconsistant due to the natural materials they are made from :)
I'm torn between the G3+ and the target aspar. how would you say they compare?
G3+ is the better board
What's the best board you've played on I like the blade 5 dual core
Gladiator 3
Are the harrows razrs ok for a front gripper and would u recommend them or what others
Could be but I like the Harrows Predator better :)
My gladiator 3+ seems to have gone rock hard, i played on it for 6-7 months then got a blade 5 dual core which i started using again for around 6 months. Ive now pulled my gladiator back out the cupboard and it feels solid compared to the blade 5 🤷🏼♂️
I think its a firm board out the box to begin with, not sure why it may have gone harder though? Mine is in my converted loft space and feels like its the same as when I first put it up but the last two Blade boards I had in the same space went all lumpy, so far the G3+ has not. Think my Samurai 2 feels like its got a little harder though.
@@DartsReviewChannel it was soft as s**t when i first had it, softer than my blade 5 anyway. It just went firmer, now ive got it back up again it just feels really hard🤷🏼♂️
White number ring looks a lot better than silvee
Hi Darren ,
have you ever tested a dart with grip level 9.0 or more?
Greetings Alex
Hi Alex, yeah sure have, Voks Jagger
@@DartsReviewChannel thanks a lot. First time i see a " octopuss/lego - grip " ! ☺
Quick question Darren. Does the clickfix bracket work when you want to install the board in a cabinet
never tried it but guess it will if you can drill through it :)
Thanks Darren. I can't choose between these boards your recommendation would be great.
1 - Shot Bandit
2 - One80 Gladiator 3+
3 - Mission Samurai II
@@hawkeye-hi7qg not tried the Samurai 2 but I have one so will soon, but G3+ is great
Thanks Darren, got the G3+
Nice review
Thanks! :)
Is this board good for players , which throw darts very easily? and which gramm should the dart have for the board?
its a great board
@@DartsReviewChannel better than winmau blade 5?
@@uschi1046 yeah
Hallo, i have a question concerning the way the board is attached to the wall. Can you put the board on the wall without the rotafix and just use a screw like with the unicorn boards?
Yes using the normal way is fine
@@DartsReviewChannel Great, thank you!
Hi
Can you hang this board at the same spot a winmau blade 5 hang bevor?
yes
In your opinion what is the best board? En what kind of darts do you use?
As said in comments below Gladiator 3, maybe G3+ now 😊 target sprint and harrows Predator.
Winmau Blade 5 is the best
And compared to the blade 5? That is what I am currently throwing at and i quite like it. I think the blade 4 was better than the 5 though.
Yeah b4 was better than B5
And the gladiator 3 versus the b5?
Thanks for your quick response!
Hello ,
have been playing regularly on my target for 6 months
and unfortunately I'm starting to have a lot of bounce
Isn't the Winmau blade 5 such better?
Sorry for my English
Yeah it better
What surround do you have and what is a good value for money surround?
I have had lots, at present I have the Mission surround, they are all pretty much the same really, I think they are around £30 but I think Darts Corner do a Designa one for about £25.
@@DartsReviewChannel ok thanks the blade 5 board and surround seams very well priced on Argos would that be worth getting as a second board etc
@@danjones6326 Yeah sure, good boards
Can’t find this dartboard anywhere online to buy one.
its a problem with lots of darts stock due to covid
Bull's Advantage 5.01 review soon ?
no
Hi, I plan to buy a new dartboard. Do you recommend one180 gladiator 3 plus or Winmanu Blade 5DC after months of play darts ? Do you think today is one180 better than winmau Blade 5DC. Thanks
Hi mate, I prefer the G3+ but B5DC is still a good board too :)
Darren what gladiator song is it ?
The music at the end? Its from RUclips Audio library Eyes Of Glory
@@DartsReviewChannel i think he ask for sound/noise not song
Just revieced mine and the BDO badge has been removed.
Thought it would be, may be I should not use mine anymore then, could be a collectors item in time :)
@@DartsReviewChannel I was thinking the same! Was gutted when I took it out the box 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@popeye5989 lol
Did you buy yours from Darts Corner?. Just the ONE80 & GLADIATORIII logo’s on it?
Word on the street the gladiator 4 will have a rotating bullseye 😁
:)
what 😂
Darren are you scottish?
LOL no English but I have Scottish, Welsh, Irish, English and French ancestors :)
@@DartsReviewChannel I really thought it, because of your slang haha sorry
@@jakob4221 lol I am from North East England 😊

Always turn the board from number seven to twenty place.
Why?
