Introduction

A bristle dartboard is a type of dartboard made of compressed sisal fibers, which is a durable and natural material that can withstand the impact of darts. It is considered one of the best types of dartboards for its durability and self-healing properties. Some of the best bristle dartboards available on the market today include brands such as Unicorn, Winmau, and Nodor.

A bristle dartboard is the top choice for pro players. It’s made of sisal fibers, which self-heal after darts hit. This makes it last longer! If you want a board like the pros use, pick a bristle one. It’s great for fun and practice. Remember, always play safe! 🎯

When a dart hits the board, the fibers close around it and then spring back to their original position, minimizing the damage to the board. This results in a longer lifespan for the board and less need for maintenance. Additionally, bristle dartboards are tournament standard and are used in many professional darts tournaments.

What Type of Material is Used on Bristle Dartboard

Bristle dartboards are made of compressed sisal fibers, which are a natural and renewable material that comes from the Agave sisalana plant. Sisal fibers are known for their durability and resistance to wear and tear, making them ideal for use in dartboards.

After the fibers are harvested, they are cleaned, sorted, and then compressed into dense blocks. The blocks are then cut into thin slices and arranged in a circular pattern to form the playing surface of the dartboard. The resulting bristle dartboard provides a high-quality playing surface that is durable, self-healing, and long-lasting.

The best bristle dartboard in 2023 is subjective and depends on individual needs and preferences. However, some of the most highly rated bristle dartboards on the market today include:

I did some research before buying a dartboard to make sure I didn’t end up buying a cheap piece of junk that I was just going to have to replace after a few games. I learned right away that sisal fiber or “bristle” boards are better than the old “cork” boards that were common when I was a kid.

I noticed that the Viper Shot King was consistently rated as one of the best, but I wasn’t sure at first because, compared to some of the other recommended boards, the Viking has a much lower price. But since the reviews were mostly positive, I went ahead and bought one, and I’ve played almost every day since I hung it on my carport wall about two weeks ago.

Pros	Cons
The compressed sisal fibers and galvanized steel spider wire ensure that the dartboard is durable and can withstand regular use.	Steel Tip Darts Only: This dartboard is designed specifically for use with steel tip darts, so it may not be suitable for those who prefer soft tip darts.
The circular spider wire and staple-free bullseye of the dartboard help to reduce bounce-outs and deflections, making for a more enjoyable game.	Limited Number of Darts: The set only comes with six darts, which may not be enough for multiple players or extended play.
The 17.75” diameter face is regulation size, allowing you to play on the same size dartboard as the pros.	Sisal Fibers Require Maintenance: While the dartboard is durable, the sisal fibers do require maintenance over time in order to continue to function properly.
The detachable number ring allows you to rotate the board, extending the life of the dartboard.
The set comes with all the necessary hardware and accessories, making setup quick and easy.
The set comes with six steel tip darts, so you have everything you need to start playing right away.

Is this product perfect? No. Clearly, it’s not the world’s best dartboard. But it’s an excellent value and pretty damn good. The diamond-shaped dividers work amazingly. Literally have had no bounce-outs on them. The only place I’ve had bounce-outs is around the wider bullseye area where all the dividers converge.

They overlap the outer bullseye area and seem to cause bounce-outs more than I’d like. However, the red central bullseye has no staples or overlaps and has never caused a bounce out so far. Overall, the board looks very sharp and cool. The colors are bright with good contrast. Plus, it’s very sturdy. Even the border is made of metal and you can tell the board is pretty heavy. The self-healing seems average.

Pros	Cons
The WINMAU Diamond Plus board is made from premium-grade sisal fibers that are tightly packed together. This allows the board to heal itself.	The wires on the board are protruding and they will kick the darts out. It happens frequently.
Constantly use 7 days a week for hours at a time.	1-2 bounce outs per game – no exaggeration.
Very functional and attractive dartboard.	There is no adjustment for wobbling.
Good accuracy and target.	Some customer claim that they receive damage packaging.
The bracket is mounted on the wall using two additional screws	Not staple free. Better off getting a unicorn.
Nice darts and good customer service.

 I decided to buy a dartboard on a bit of a whim and selected this as a mid-price option. No real idea about the 5-blade bristle technology or anything like that, but it is sturdy and solid and includes a bracket to hang on the wall. Instructions are included and all are very simple.

The board is up, and despite my lack of ability with the steel-tipped things you hurl at the board, I am very happy with my choice. Perhaps things will improve. If you are new/returning to darts after a layoff, worth getting a wall protector. One thing I already notice is the little holes – be interested to see how efficient the self-heal is. I will update this review in a couple of months if I see issues, otherwise assume it has healed itself.

This dartboard is much more legit when you open it up. It’s heavy (or solid, rather), and easy to mount. The bristles are high quality (though I can’t imagine what low quality bristles look like), and the spider (wireframe – I just learned that term and now I get to use it and I feel happy about being pretentious for the moment…btw, the triple ring is called the TREBLE!!!) is proportional to the board.

This board has the wire-style spider, which is supposedly good for bounce-outs, whereas the blade style is supposed to prevent them, but I’ve had 2 or 3 bounce outs in 2 weeks, so whoever said that is a liar. Plus, before this board, I was relegated to darts at the local pub, Streets of London, which has the blade style, and I was CONSTANTLY bouncing out.

Pros	Cons
Dart Board is regulation size, which makes it perfect for practicing and participating in official dart tournaments.	The board’s regulation size requires a lot of space which may be a challenge for individuals with limited indoor space.
The board is compatible with steel-tip darts.	The board is designed for indoor use only and may get damaged if exposed to moisture or direct sunlight.
The board comes with mounting hardware and instructions that make it easy to install on walls or other surfaces.	The board may require regular cleaning and maintenance to keep it in good condition and prolong its lifespan.
The board is made of high-quality sisal bristle fibers.	The board may sustain damage if hit with excessive force or if players miss the target and hit the surrounding walls.

6. Winmau Blade 5 and Blade6 Dual Core Bristle Dartboards

Overview

I replaced a 15-year-old dartboard with the Winmau Blade 5, so it was pretty easy to give this 5 stars. Even without the comparison, this is 5 stars. In fact, I wish I could give it more stars. Everything about this board is amazing. The super thin wire is almost invisible. Not only have we played for hours without a bounce out, but we’ve also hardly wired any shots.

We even created a new game called “Who can touch the wire with their throw.” Couldn’t do it. The thin wire makes double and triple sections look bigger. The colors are vibrant and perfectly set on the board. The 3 screw-in feet on the back wedge the board to the cabinet wall tightly so there is no spinning or shifting. It did take a bit of time to set each screw perfectly so that the board was evenly flush against the wall.

Features

• Dual Core Technology: The Blade 5 and Blade6 dartboards feature a dual-core design that provides increased scoring area and reduced bounce-outs.
• High-Quality Sisal Fibers: These dartboards are made of premium-grade sisal fibers that are tightly packed to offer maximum durability and longevity.
• Razor-Thin Wiring: The Blade 5 and Blade6 dartboards have ultra-thin wiring that minimizes bounce-outs and maximizes scoring potential.
• Staple-Free Bullseye: The bullseye of these dartboards is staple-free, which reduces the chance of bounce-outs and increases the scoring area.
• Improved Radial Wires: The Blade 6 dartboard has improved radial wires that offer even better-scoring potential and reduced bounce-outs.
• Regulation Size: Both Blade 5 and Blade6 dartboards are regulation size, making them suitable for official tournaments and practice sessions.
• Easy Installation: These dartboards come with a mounting bracket and instructions, making them easy to install on any wall.

I love everything about this dartboard but there is one tiny flaw is that the metal divider system the actual metal blades started to come forward on my dartboard so every once in a while I have to double-check it and tap them back down not sure why they’re pushing out of the dartboard.

But it’s no big deal for me to TAP them back down it for the most part days put and they only come out a little bit other than that everything works great I’ve had this dartboard since June of 2021 so it’s been almost 2 years you can take a look at my photos to see the condition of my dartboard.

I do keep it inside a wood cabinet although it is played outside but during the rainy season it’s taken off of its mount and brought where it’s not going to get wet this dartboard is used for nearly every day during the summertime for multiple hours per day I and my family are hardcore Dart players I would not call us anywhere near professional but we play a lot.

Great product. Good quality. Unfortunately, the delivery company they used dumped the package (along with many others) at an abandoned house in the middle of the woods!

FAQ

What is the Best Material for a Dart Board?

The best material for a dartboard is sisal. Sisal is a natural and renewable material made from the fibers of the Agave sisalana plant. It is highly durable, self-healing, and can withstand the impact of darts. When a dart hits the board, the sisal fibers close around it and then spring back to their original position, minimizing the damage to the board.

This results in a longer lifespan for the dartboard and less need for maintenance. Additionally, sisal is tournament standard and is used in many professional darts tournaments. Other materials, such as cork or coiled paper, have been used in dartboards in the past, but sisal is widely considered the best material for its durability, performance, and self-healing properties.

What Dart Boards Do Professionals Use?

Professional dart players typically use dart boards that meet specific standards set by organizations such as the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) or the World Darts Federation (WDF). These standards ensure that the dart boards are of high quality and consistency, allowing for fair competition.

The standard dartboard used in professional competition is known as the “diamond” or “tournament” board. This board is made of sisal fibers and has a diameter of 18 inches (45.72 cm) and is divided into 20 numbered sections, with a bullseye in the center.

Some popular brands of tournament-quality dart boards used by professionals include the Winmau Blade 5 Dual Core, the Unicorn Eclipse Pro, and the Nodor Supawire 2. Other factors such as lighting, dart weight and shape, and personal preference also play a role in the choice of dart board by professionals.

How Long Does a Bristle Dartboard Last?

The lifespan of a bristle dartboard can vary depending on several factors such as the quality of the board, frequency of use, and maintenance.

A high-quality bristle dartboard made from tightly packed sisal fibers can last for several years with regular use and proper maintenance. However, if the board is not maintained properly, it may wear out faster.

Factors that can affect the lifespan of a bristle dartboard include the type of darts used, the frequency of use, and the level of care taken with the board. Soft-tip darts may cause more wear and tear on the board than steel-tip darts.

It’s recommended to rotate the dartboard regularly to help distribute the wear and to keep the sisal fibers in good condition. It’s also important to keep the board clean and free of dust and moisture.

In general, a well-maintained and high-quality bristle dartboard can last for several years of regular use, but it’s also important to keep an eye on the condition of the board and replace it if necessary to ensure fair play and safety.
