Is the Blade 6 worth it over a cheaper bristle board?

For regular league or club play, yes. The thin wire, hardened bull and firm sisal give fewer bounce-outs and longer life than budget boards. Casual players may not notice the difference.

How does it compare with the Blade 5?

The Blade 6 uses a thinner Density Control spider and a bullseye and outer bull 25% thinner than before. The result is a slightly larger effective scoring area and fewer bounce-outs.

What size is it and will it fit a standard surround?

It is 17.7 inches in diameter and 1.5 inches thick, the standard tournament size. It fits standard dartboard surrounds and cabinets.

Does it work for soft-tip darts?

No. It is a bristle board for steel-tip darts. Soft-tip players need an electronic board.

What is included in the box?

The board and the Rota-Lock mounting system. Darts and a surround are not included.

How often should I rotate it?

Rotate it regularly, roughly every few sessions of heavy play, so the sisal wears evenly and the 20 bed does not hollow out.
