What makes the Dual Core different from a standard Blade 6?

The Dual Core uses a denser inner core with a softer outer layer, so darts grip firmly in the scoring zones while the outer ring stays forgiving. The standard Blade 6 uses a single-density sisal construction.

Does it fit a standard dartboard cabinet?

It is a full-size 17.7 inch board at about 1.5 inches thick, so it fits most standard cabinets. Check cabinet depth, since it is thicker than basic boards.

How often should I rotate it?

Rotate it regularly, roughly every few weeks of heavy play, using the Rota-Lock mount to keep wear even across the segments.

Is it suitable for beginners?

It works for beginners, but the thin wire and firm grip reward accurate throwing. Casual players may find a cheaper bristle board better value.

What is included in the box?

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

About the Winmau Blade 6 Dual Core Dartboard

The Winmau Blade 6 Dual Core is a bristle dartboard from the Blade Series, built with Winmau's Sixth Generation dartboard technology. It is made from East African sisal fibers that are self-healing. It is Professional Tournament approved and made to official World Darts Federation specifications.

The web uses ultra-thin 60° angled wire to deflect darts into the scoring area and keep bounce-outs to a minimum. Density Control™ wire sets the fiber density and improves dart retention in the double, treble and bullseye zones. The fully hardened bullseye and outer bull also use Density Control™ wire and are now 25% thinner.

The board comes with the easy-adjust Rota-Lock mounting system, which fits any wall. It contains small parts and is unsuitable for people vulnerable to choking hazards.
