Professional Dartboards

About

What makes a professional dartboard? A professional dart board will be made with staple-free construction, which means there are no staples in the board. A staple-free board is a wise choice for the more serious players that are looking to improve their game, as no staples getting in the way means less darts falling out of the board. You should also look out for a board that meets with competition requirements. A dartboard used in professional tournaments will be made of high-quality Sisal material, so it will offer you more durability during play and last a long time. A recreational dartboard will be a less expensive option and more ideal for beginner and casual players. These dartboards will be made of materials that are not as premium, and as a result the fibres on the board are not as tightly compact and will show signs of wear and tear more quickly. A recreational board will also have a number ring that is not removable, as opposed to a professional dartboard where you can remove the number ring and easily rotate your board to help you prolong its life and throw again at a ‘fresh’ treble 20. Official tournament dartboards The Winmau Blade X and Winmau Blade 360 are the official dartboards of the PDC and are used in all official PDC professional tournaments. From January 2026, the Blade X became the board of choice for the organisation's stage events , including the PDC World Darts Championship and the Premier League. In the same month, the Blade 360 dartboard was unveiled as the official dartboard for the PDC's floor tournaments , such as the Players Championships, Challenge Tour and Women's Series. The Unicorn Eclipse Ultra Dartboard is another tournament quality board with the PDC’s approval during their 25-year partnership from 1997-2022. This board includes a new radial wiring system with super-thin bullseye wiring, which has been designed to reduce the number of darts falling out and also increase your chances of hitting big scores.
