Questions and answers

Which is better for a beginner?
The Narwhal Kingston, because it includes six darts and hangs easily. A beginner who plays often will still get better feedback from the Blade 6's thinner wires.
Which board lasts longer?
The Blade 6 is built for it: self-healing sisal and a rotation system spread wear. Some owners still report wear, so rotate it regularly.
Is the Blade 6 worth stepping up to?
Yes if you play weekly or in a league. The thinner wire and WDF spec make scoring cleaner and the board plays closer to competition standard.
Do I need to buy darts for the Blade 6?
Yes. The Blade 6 is the board only. The Narwhal set includes six steel tip darts.
Will darts bounce out more on the Narwhal?
Generally yes. Its round wire and staples deflect more darts than the Blade 6's thin, angled wire.
Can both be mounted on a garage wall?
Yes. The Narwhal uses an Easy Hang mount; the Blade 6 uses Rota-Lock with a level, which also lets you rotate the board.
